1959 Lister-Jaguar 'Knobbly' Race Car

In the 1950s, Brian Lister hit on a great idea — a lightweight tube-framed chassis with Jaguar's top-of-the-line straight-six motor. The 'Knobbly' would become one of the most successful race cars of the late 50s, with drivers like Sir Stirling Moss and Bruce Halford amassing a collection of trophies in the cars. This 1959 Knobbly is not just one of the most-awarded Knobbly's out there but has one of the best in-period records in motorsports. The exhaustive documentation lists 53 podiums, including 29 firsts, 15 seconds and 9 thirds. Along with the car and documentation comes a huge amount of spare parts, including the original frame that was replaced and used to build another Knobbly. Perfectly maintained and ready for historic races, this Knobbly is ready for a new home and the next chapter of its career.

1987 Mercedes-Benz 240 GD SUV

Mercedes' G-Class has been one of the best 4x4s you can buy, whether you're an offroad enthusiast or NATO. This 1987 240 GD comes ready to drive, with a fresh restoration and some modern additions that make it a little easier to live with. The orange exterior is continued inside with leather seats and orange contrast stitching and piping — even around the instrument cluster. Powered by a 2.4-liter diesel four with four-speed manual transmission, the truck no has power steering, Brembo disc brakes, and Ironman shocks. With on 50,000 miles on the clock, this 240 GD has barely started life and will be ready to drive for years to come.

2019 Ford GT 'Gulf' Heritage Edition VIN 001

Selling a Ford GT is supposed to be against the contract you sign if you're lucky enough to get one, but several of them — most famously John Cena's — have come up for auction. But this GT is approved by Ford for auction and all proceeds are going to a good cause: the United Way. Not just any GT, the one that will roll across the auction block at Barrett-Jackson is a Heritage Edition with the famous Gulf livery and VIN number 001. The Heritage Edition features exposed carbon fiber accents and 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, and you can expect the United Way to get a sizable donation from the sale. If you aren't already on Ford's list for the GT, this might be one of the rare chances to get one for years to come.

1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing

The 300 SL is undoubtedly the king of postwar Mercedes production cars. A thinly-veiled race car in street clothing, the 300 SL was the brainchild of American Mercedes importer Max Hoffman, who begged Stuttgart to make a street version of their all-conquering 300 SL race car. With its aerodynamic body, gullwing doors, and direct-injection borrowed from WWII-era fighter plane engines, the 300 SL was an instant success. This 1955 300 SL was first owned by Ambie Collins of New York, where it arrived in the traditional Mercedes silver with black interior. The car crossed the Atlantic to join the Wiesenthal Collection in Vienna, Austria, in 1979, where it received a restoration in the early 90s and has remained since. With its immaculate condition and fully-documented provenance, this 300 SL is a must for any serious enthusiast.

Damd Little D Suzuki Jimny Body Kit

Suzuki released the first all-new Jimny in over two decades earlier in 2018, picking up right where the previous version left off — as a serious body-on-frame 4x4. The new styling is an almost perfect take on the classic boxy offroader, but that didn't stop Japanese company Damd from creating a body kit that takes it to a place that's somewhere between the 1975 SJ10 and the legendary Land Rover Defender. Damd's Little:D kit replaces the grille, headlamps, and both bumpers for a cleaner, more angular look than stock. There's only one problem with the Little:D kit — Suzuki hasn't announced plans to bring the Jimny to the US, but hopefully, Suzuki solves that soon.

Jaguar F-Type Rally Car

Jaguar is known the world over for its sports and racing cars, winning in top endurance and sports car races. A far lesser-known piece of Jaguar's racing history is the XK 120 that ran three straight Alpine Rallies in the early 1950s without earning a single penalty point. In honor of driver Ian Appleyard and his XK 120, Jaguar created a limited run of F-Type rally cars built to FIA specs — these aren't simple exterior modifications, these are legitimate rally cars. Jaguar isn't offering these special F-Types to the public, but you can get your hands on the F-Type Chequered Flag Limited Edition, which inspired the rally cars' livery. 20-inch gloss black wheels, dark brushed aluminum center console, and checkered flag-embroidered headrests distinguish the Chequered Flag Limited Edition from its F-Type stablemates.

1972 BMW 3.0 CSL Coupe

In 1972, BMW wanted to go racing in the European Touring Car Championship. Starting with the E9 platform, BMW's engineers removed everything not necessary for racing, throwing out soundproofing, power windows, adding Perspex windows, an aluminum hood and thinner steel for the unit body. The car was a success and cemented BMW's reputation as a maker of the most sporting luxury cars you could buy. This 1972 3.0 CSL is from the first-year production run and one of 500 right-hand drive (1,265 total) models. Presented in a beautiful Tiaga green, this CSL is fresh from a two-year restoration that covered every nut and bolt on the car. The level of detail is astounding both inside and out, with things like original-style speckled carpeting and an extremely clean undercarriage. Possibly one of the best 3.0 CSLs on the market, this car is one for the history books.

1987 Porsche 930 Slantnose

Porsche's 935 race car inspired German tuners like Ruf and Kremer to start modifying customer cars with frontend bodywork similar to the 1979 Le Mans winner. The changes disposed of the 911s traditional bug-eye headlights and replaced them with sloping fenders and popup lighting. In 1981, Porsche started offering a factory-option "Flachbau" front for the 930 — the internal code for the 911 Turbo. Only 948 were built over the eight-year production run. With the more aerodynamic bodywork, the 930 Slantnose was faster from 0-60 and could reach a top speed of over 170 MPH. This 1987 930 is immaculate inside and out and is in almost completely original condition. With the market for classic Porsches and the rarity of the factory bodywork, expect this to collect a premium when it crosses the auction block.

2019 BMW S1000 RR

Lighter, faster, stronger — the third generation of BMW Motorrad's liter bike, the S 1000 RR, promises to be the best yet. BMW aimed to best the previous generation's performance by a second, and with an all-new engine and suspension, it looks like they've reached their goal. The new 999cc inline-four gains eight horsepower, pushing output to 207, with a smoother torque curve throughout the rev range thanks to BMW's ShiftCam variable valve tech. A brand new suspension with revised geometry increases the load-bearing capability of the engine that also allows for a lighter frame and components, helping the S 1000 RR drop 25 pounds of overall weight. Electronic aids like ABS, traction control, and wheelie control have been revised to help make the S 1000 RR one of the most approachable superbikes on the market. Expect the S 1000 RR to make it to market in time for the 2019 riding season.

Icon Electric 1966 Fiat 500 Giardinetta Coupe

Icon has recently started to retrofit classic cars with electric powertrains, and their latest transformation is a classic 1966 Fiat 500. One of the original European city cars, the 500 was produced in a single generation from 1957 to 1975. In collaboration with EV specialist Stealth EV, Icon's 500 throws out the two-cylinder, 37 horsepower gasoline engine for six Tesla battery cells, an Orion battery management system, and an AC35 electric motor. This setup is good for about 80 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, and 120 miles of range — specs that are as good or better than the Fiat 500e, an electric version of the current 500 sold only in California and Oregon.

1956 Ferrari 290 MM by Scaglietti

In 1956 and 57, Ferrari's 290 MM was the company's entry into sports car races across Europe and the United States. Only four were built, and these cars were driven by some of the best drivers of the era — Juan Manuel Fangio, Phil Hill, and Sir Stirling Moss among them. This 290 MM, the fourth of four, started its career at the 1956 Mille Miglia where it took second overall. Sir Stirling Moss drove the car in competition in 1957, where it would cross the Atlantic to race in America until 1961. The car has been restored to a concours level the way appeared in the 1957 12 Hours of Sebring, its last race as a factory Ferrari car, by Ferrari Classiche in Italy and comes fully documented. No classic Ferrari comes cheap, and with this 290 MM's racing history, could set a another record for the storied Italian marque.

1964 Shelby 289 Cobra Roadster

The fire-breathing, fender-flared 427 Cobra gets all the attention, but the original 289 Cobra is considered to be the drivers' car. A smaller, high-revving V8 takes a lot of weight out of the car, letting the brilliant combination of American motor and British chassis really shine. This 1964 289 Cobra was bought new in San Diego, California by well-regarded architect Henry Hartwell Hester. Hester paid just over $6,700 to drive it off the showroom floor and sold it on in 1970. The next owner had the Cobra modified for SCCA Solo I competition and raced it into the early 1980s. The Cobra as it is now has a replacement K-code 289 motor but comes fully documented with the original window sticker and Shelby documentation — making this the rare Cobra that can be enjoyed and not just stored away to appreciate in value.

Harley-Davidson LiveWire Electric Motorcycle

Originally debuted as a 2014 prototype, the forward-looking Harley-Davidson LiveWire has now appeared in production form. It's powered by an all-electric powertrain, including a magnetic electric motor that produces instant torque, and replaces the venerable V-twin as the centerpiece of the cycle. It's mounted low on the frame to help lower the center of gravity and improve handling, the latter of which is also boosted by a fully adjustable Showa suspension and Brembo brakes. A color touchscreen above the handlebar provides access to a wide range of information, and the bike is compatible with an array of chargers. Pricing and other specs will be revealed in January, with deliveries set to begin later in 2019.

Arc Vector Electric Motorcycle

UK-based Arc released their first production motorcycle to the public at the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy, and brought game-changing technology to the world of two wheels. Billed as a "neo-cafe racer", Arc's Vector is a fully-electric motorcycle with very impressive specs. The carbon fiber flyer boasts 120 miles of range, a 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds, and a top speed of 125 MPH, so it has the performance numbers, but it's Arc's Human Machine Interface that looks to the future of riding. The Vector has no screens or gauges. The proprietary Zenith helmet contains a fighter jet-inspired HUD, giving a readout of everything from telemetry readings like speed and range to navigation. Couple that with the Origin armored gear with haptic feedback and the Vector melds man and machine together in one complete package.

Honda Rugged Open Air Vehicle Concept

Honda doesn't make a full-size truck like the Big Three American manufacturers, but it did take a full-size side-by-side to the 2018 SEMA show. Starting with its Ridgeline pickup, Honda heavily modified the suspension and body to come up with what it describes as a cross between the truck and its Pioneer 1000 UTV. The doors and bed from the Pioneer 1000 are lifted straight from the assembly line, and a weatherproof interior with reclad seats from the Civic Type R is available for all four passengers. The styling looks like a bigger version of Honda's UTV, but while they didn't mention specifics, there's a good chance that the 3.5 liter V6 and drivetrain from the Ridgeline are used. Keeping in line with Honda's philosophy, this is probably the most practical Baja truck ever built.

John Oates' 1960 Porsche 356 Coupe

John Oates, half of superstar rock act Hall & Oates, just took delivery of a custom 1960 356 from Porsche specialists Emory Motorsports. Based on Emory's high-performance Outlaw 356, an Emory-designed and built 2.6 liter Outlaw-4 flat-four, an improved version of the Porsche original, powers the car through a 911 five-speed transmission. The chassis has been updated with a 911 independent rear suspension and Koni coilover shocks and Emory disc brakes at all four corners. The front bodywork is slightly revised for better aerodynamics and black billet wheels styled like the 356 originals are clad in sticky Pirelli P-Zero tires. The interior has 356 Speedster-style seats covered in Hyde leather with basketweave inserts, with new retro-styled gauges and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. Emory's Outlaw 356s are the best of both worlds — beautiful 356 looks with modern-day performance and comforts.

TechnoImpulse Rocket Z SUV

Russia is home to some of the harshest terrain on the planet and it takes a special breed of SUV to traverse it. Technoimpulse's Rocket Z isn't fast but can get you and eight of your friends or coworkers nearly anywhere you need to go. Powered by a 100 horsepower diesel engine, the Rocket Z has almost no front or rear overhang for steep approach angles, massive tires, and a winch if you do get hung up — or need to get something out the way. Limited slip differentials on both axles keep the power down, and Hella lighting equipment turns night into day — even in places where the sun never rises in the winter. At only $85K, it's also an amazing deal for an incredibly capable 4x4.

Toyota x Kevin Costner Tundra Adventure Truck

Kevin Costner isn't just an Oscar-winning actor and director — he's also a huge fan of the outdoors and picks his equipment with care. When Costner contacted Toyota about building a truck that could effortlessly get him and his family out of the house and into the woods, Toyota had the perfect platform with the full-size Tundra truck. Starting with a crew cab model, a 4.5 inch BDS suspension lift and Fox shocks were installed along with 35-inch Nitto tires. Heavy-duty steel bumpers with Warn winches were installed front and rear, and the bed is covered by a cap that provides a sleeping area, and a two-piece rack that runs the length of the vehicle. Costner's custom Tundra is appearing at SEMA, but has already seen service at Costner's ranch in Colorado and while filming the series Yellowstone in Montana.

Aston Martin DBS 59 Coupe

At the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, Aston Martin pulled off a 1-2 overall finish in the legendary endurance race. The DBR1 driven by Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori would claim the only outright Le Mans victory for Aston Martin, but the car would have record-setting success in the World Sportscar Championship against the likes of Ferrari and Porsche. In honor of their Le Mans victory, Aston Martin is releasing a limited edition DBS 59 coupe. Painted Aston Martin Racing Green with bronze highlights, the cars feature high-gloss carbon fiber accents and details like storage for the included DBS 59 crash helmets and race suits and a set of bespoke luggage. Being a DBS Superleggera, the car's 211 MPH top speed and 715 horsepower remains unchanged as it should. Each car comes with identifying markings to show which of the 24 units this exclusive is.

2019 BMW 8 Series Convertible

BMW's 8-series convertible is missing something that nearly every luxury convertible has — a retractable hardtop. Instead, the 8-series gets a power-retractable soft top with enough extra frame bracing to keep the body as rigid as its fixed-roof sibling. Optional neck warmers and a redesigned windscreen frame give drivers a good reason to keep the top down even when its cold outside and a rollbar that extends with a pyrotechnic charge keeps occupants safe. At its March launch, the M850i xDrive will offer a 4.4-liter, 530-horsepower V8 and all-wheel-drive, good for 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 155 MPH.

Ronin x Uncrate 47 Motorcycle

Designed by Uncrate and built by Ronin, our collaboration includes two identical blacked-out motorcycles. Offering a 160 MPH top speed and 130 rear-wheel HP, the limited Uncrate versions receive a satin black airbox cover and black paint on the front and rear main springs, front fork links, and subframe. Smoke gray was used to replace the taillight lens, the cast rearsets replaced with black anodized billet parts from vintage racers, the muffler endcaps repainted in black cerakote, and the entire exhaust wrapped with black header tape. As a finishing touch, the seat was reupholstered in black leather by Clint Wilkinson, giving this unique, limited bike a menacing look worthy of its fierce namesake. Each bike weighs in at 425 lbs. One of the two identical bikes is still available for purchase.

As seen in Uncrate Issue 04.

Icon 1949 Mercury EV Derelict Coupe

Icon is known for taking classic 4x4s and updating them with modern engines and creature comforts. With EVs entering the mass market, it was only a matter of time before Icon caught the electric bug and added their signature touch to a battery-powered classic. Commissioned by a long-time client, this 1949 Mercury is powered by dual electric motors and a Tesla Performance 85kWh battery array. The package is good for 400 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, taking this Merc to a top speed of 120 MPH and up to 150-200 miles from home. A fast charger is hidden behind a tilting front license plate and can fully charge the car in less than 1.5 hours. Icon even paid homage to the original engine, disguising the Tesla modules and battery controllers in aluminum covers that mimic the look of a V8. With their latest project, Icon proves that an electric future doesn't have to mean leaving classic cars behind.

2019 Hennessey VelociRaptor V8 Truck

When the new Ford Raptor was announced, the company touted the improved fuel economy while some lamented the loss of a V8 option. Hennessey's VelociRaptor V8 brings it back. Instead of simply matching the 450hp of the twin-turbo V6, it ups the output to 758 hp via a new Ford-supplied 5.0L V8, 2.9L supercharger, and 10-speed automatic. As a result, the truck moves from 0-60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. Other enhancements include new bumpers and LED front lights, a Stage 2 off-road suspension with a six-inch lift, 20-inch alloy wheels, and 37-inch BF Goodrich KM03 off-road tires. Production is limited to just 100 examples for 2019, and a new Raptor is included in the price.

Ringbrothers 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer SUV

Ringbrothers is known for making wild custom cars based on American classics. Keeping the lines of the original bodywork, Ringbrothers makes extensive chassis, motor, and interior modifications, creating works of art that are immediately recognizable as the original car. With this 1971 Chevy Blazer, Ringbrothers were more restrained, making a beautiful truck that looks like a well-kept original. But the sheet metal is where the similarities stop. Under the hood is a 430 horsepower LS3 crate motor with Flowmaster exhaust, with power sent to all four wheels via a modded automatic transmission. A one-inch lift was added, and a custom brown leather interior, rollbar, and bikini top round out the build. Ringbrothers show that a build doesn't have to be over the top to catch everyone's eye.

2019 Ford GT Carbon Series

The Ford GT is already a thinly-veiled street-legal race car, and Ford is making their carbon fiber wonder a notch better with the Carbon Series. The Carbon Series ditches a few creature comforts like cupholders and the driver's side storage bin in the door while adding gloss coated carbon fiber wheels to reduce weight by over 40 pounds. To make sure no one mistakes the Carbon Series for a run-of-the-mill GT, racing stripes, body panels, and A-pillars come in exposed carbon fiber. An optional accent package in silver, orange, red or blue adds a dash of color to the mirror caps, center stripe, and brake calipers. Don't worry if you missed out on the GT supercar — the Blue Oval is increasing production to 1,350 units, with around 50 earmarked to be Carbon Series models.

Chevrolet eCOPO Camaro Concept

In 1969, Chevrolet offered an all-aluminum, 500 horsepower 427ci V8 called the ZL1 for the Camaro under Central Office Production Order 9560. Known as COPO Camaros, they were made for professional drag racing and less than 70 were produced. Nearly 50 years later, Chevrolet has remade the drag racing beast using modern tech. Called the eCOPO, this Camaro is made to one thing only — go fast in a straight line without spewing and pollutants except for tire smoke. Powered by two electric motors and a GM-first 800-volt battery, the eCOPO is good for 700 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque with quarter mile times in the nine-second range. The dual electric motors bolt to a transmission and driveshaft that connects to the same axle as a stock Camaro, meaning this is a conversion that isn't outside the realm of the avid DIYer. While Chevrolet didn't mention range, you don't need much going a quarter mile at a time.

Nissan 370Z Project Clubsport 23 Coupe

Nissan's 370Z has been around for a decade now, but the company keeps proving how flexible the platform is with continual upgrades that keep a strong competitor in the sports car market. Nissan is bringing the 370Z Project Clubsport 23 to the 2018 SEMA show and raided its own parts bin and the bins of a few SEMA suppliers to show that the 370Z isn't done yet. First and foremost, Nissan dropped in the 400 horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 from the Infiniti Q50 400 Red Sport. The engine is mated to the manual transmission from the 370Z Nismo, the first time this engine has been available with a standard shift. Nismo suspension pieces with KW Variant coilovers and Eibach springs make for track-day fun, and Rays wheels wrapped in Hankook high-performance tires keep everything on sticking to the pavement. With the Z-car due a refresh, Nissan shows what might be on the table for the next generation.

McLaren Speedtail Hypercar

25 years after the F1 redefined what a road-legal car was capable of, McLaren has released the F1's first true successor — the Speedtail. Part of McLaren's Ultimate Series, the Speedtail looks to have the same impact on the automotive world that the F1 did upon its release. The heart of the Speedtail is a hybrid powertrain that delivers 1,035 horsepower, making 0-60 times officially irrelevant — this is enough to push the Speedtail from 0-186 MPH in 12.8 seconds. With triple-digit speeds being this effortless, aerodynamics are important, and the Speedtail doesn't disappoint. Panel gaps are almost non-existent, and carbon fiber covers for the front wheels and flexible, active aero surfaces at the rear maximize efficiency and downforce. The interior is where the Speedtail shows its roots, with a central driving position made famous by the F1. Expect more details when the Speedtail launches, but don't expect to see one soon. Only 106 Speetails will be made and each one has already been sold.
