The Denzel Truvor is a scrambler-style electric motorcycle powered by a synchronous magnetic motor boasting 12,000 watts of peak power and top speed of 75 MPH. Its efficient lightweight battery delivers a 75-mile range while the entire chassis, as well as the swingarm, are made of carbon fiber. Mixing classic scrambler style with modern systems, it’s built for emission-free adventures on and off-road.
With the ability to double its size in just 60 seconds, the French-made Beauer 2X camper expands to accommodate 2 adults in a comfortable, modern shelter that’s as easy on the eyes as it is to set up. The nested shell design pulls out horizontally to reveal a bedroom for 2, a fully-equipped L-shaped kitchen, & a small lounge area where the futon opens for additional sleepers. Weighing under 2000 pounds means that it’s easily towable with most vehicles.
The Belgian Legend edition is the first special edition for Porsche’s new 992 4S series car. Honoring the 75th birthday of F1 icon Jacky Bernard Ickx, the 444 horsepower 2-seater features an X Blue paint scheme—matching the driver’s racing helmet as well as interior details, like unique piping on the seats and branded stitching on headrests, and Ickx signature integrated into car’s B-pillars and key fob. Only 75 of these Formula One inspired coupes will be produced.
The forthcoming Pan America is Harley-Davidson’s first ever adventure bike. Like all hogs, it is powered by a V-twin. A liquid-cooled Revolution Max 1,250 cc engine to be exact. Any similarities to a normal Harley end right there. Brembo built the braking system, Michelin developed the tires specifically for the bike. It’s a departure. Built for departures. Big ones. The Pan America will hit HD dealership floors sometime in mid 2020.
Bobsla is not the first snow toy to come out of Austria’s Tirol region. It is however the first electric one we’ve seen. Like a GoKart for the ski slopes, Bobsla is a single-rider EV with dual snowmobile-style tracks powered by a compact 220V system. It sure looks like fun. The question is, will we ever see it shredding ski areas in the U.S.?

There’s a lot going on here. First off, this is a 1968 Lamborghini Espada. Ridiculous & rare to begin with. Then, in 2018, Danton Art Kustoms in France got ahold of it. They agreed a Ferruccio Lamborghini-inspired “Rat Rod” seemed reasonable. Extensive modification ensued. And well, this is it. A true one and only. And now, this extraordinary V12 animal is up for auction through Mecum. Can you guess the magic number?
For 2021, Chevy’s full-size Suburban & Tahoe SUVs will both be longer with more interior space, and the ride comfort significantly smoothed out due to the addition of both independent rear suspension and adaptive suspension all around. The driver gets a 10-inch color infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Optional 12.6” screens can be added for rear passengers. “Over the Air” update technology is also new for the 2021 models.
Australian Off Road builds badass camper trailers. The all-new steel-framed and bombproof Sierra is apparently their “most basic model” yet. Well, wow. Because this Outback-ready beast from AOR features a, rugged Raptor-coated fiberglass body, Outback Armour Offroad shocks, a lithium-based electrical system, and all the comforts of home. Fully customizable. Load it with all your toys and tow it to the ends of the earth.
Death Machines Of London has a cool name and they build wild bikes like this one, called Kenzo. Hard to believe it’s a 1977 Honda Gold Wing underneath the handmade aluminum paneling, precision 3D printed parts, & composites, but it really is. So even though it looks like a street-fighting Samurai, it will ride like Grandpa’s Cadillac.
The Snowrider conversion kit turns your motocross bike into a snowbike. It’s a ski-track suspension kit designed and built in Siberia from high-quality materials. There are multiple track lengths and fitment options. A high-impact polymer ski is mounted where the front-tire goes and the snowmobile-style track—with 65mm lugs—mounts on the rear. Riders comfortable with basic maintenance and repair can complete the conversion at home in just an hour using common tools.
The 2020 Audi RS Q8 is the fastest & sportiest Audi SUV yet. A 591-horsepower V8 plus mild hybrid system gives it a top speed of 190MPH with loads of torque. It features adaptive AWD, an active anti-roll system & rear-wheel steering. Flagship features & finish from its moon roof to its 23-inch Pirelli P Zero tires mark it as a mean machine.
The world’s first Mercedes-Maybach SUV has arrived. The 2021 GLS 600 features two-tone candy paint, 22-inch rims, and an interior that looks like next year’s Learjet Liberty—everything you expect of the marque. It’s powered by a 500-hp V8 and the vehicle raises and lowers automatically on an AirMatic system to make it easier to get in & out.
For 2021, Lexus is adding a convertible variant of the sporty LC500 to its lineup. Despite its sunny Sunday drive looks, this is one mean Lex, powered by a naturally-aspirated 471-horsepower 5-liter V8. Adjustments were made to improve chassis rigidity in this roofless model, as well as in weight distribution and suspension tuning. This blue color will be limited to just 100 units.
The forthcoming 2020 Aston Martin DBX will debut as the British supercar brand’s first-ever SUV.

It offers 5 dynamic drive modes as well as adaptive air suspension & an active anti-roll system. Looks pretty cool, too.
McLaren is rolling out a new limited-edition range of exotic supercars under a fresh moniker: The Ultimate Collection. The first in the series is a nearly $2 million open-top roadster called the Elva. With no roof, windshield, or side glass, this is a track car that’s technically road legal. Powered by a 803-horsepower twin-turbo V8, it hits 62 MPH sub 3 and blasts out to 124 MPH in 6.7 seconds. Only 399 will be made.
Ferrari’s all-new Roma Coupe is a 611 horsepower 2-door powered by a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 & driven by an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The interior is luxe and a robust range of advanced driver-focused tech ensure it feels as good as it looks. And with its clean flowing lines and balanced design the Roma is a more low-key Ferrari, if such a thing is possible at 198 MPH.
This slot car racetrack was commissioned by Formula 1 and built in Detroit, Michigan by Slot Mods Raceways. Slot Mods has built tracks for corporations and private individuals including Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Audi, and Toyota. Hand-built in nearly every respect, each track is crafted by artists and takes roughly three to six months to complete, featuring hand-painted race fans, bespoke buildings, foliage lining the circuit, and much more. Now at auction, this unique 1:32 scale track will benefit the Reaching the Last Mile Fund, a global health campaign to eradicate preventable diseases.
Swedish electric motorcycle maker Cake just rolled out a Swiss Army Knife of an E-bike. The Ösa is a clean on & off-road rambler that features a modular UniBar design making it possible to set-up the bike 1000 different ways.

Available in 1.5kWh or 2.6 kWh models, capable of speeds up to 30MPH and a range up to 63 miles.

With this post we send our sincerest condolences out to all the motorcycle makers who think they make cool bikes. With the AMB 001, Aston Martin just unveiled its first foray into 2-wheel design. The sculptural, retro-futuristic styling is backed by an equally epic V-twin turbocharged engine built through a partnership with Brough Superior Motorcycles; it cranks out 180 horsepower. Only 100 of these beauties will be made, act fast.
