2019 BMW Alpina B7 Sedan

The line between supercar and sedan is beginning to get extremely blurry with Alpina's new B7 sedan, based on the new BMW 7-series. Taking the mantle of fastest production sedan in the world, the B7 improves on the 7-Series with a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 600 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. This is enough to push the B7 from 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds and to a top speed of 205 MPH — numbers which are in supercar territory. The increased power comes from improved turbocharger internals and tweaked engine management software. Alpina has also improved the driving aids, adding a Sport+ mode that adjusts the dampers and lowers the ride height by half an inch at the press of a button. The ultimate version of the 7-Series arrives later in 2019 in Alpina's signature blue and multi-spoke wheels.

Bentley Bentayga Speed SUV

Bentley isn't about to give up the ultra-luxury SUV crown to fellow British rival Rolls-Royce and their new Cullinan. In order to keep the Bentayga on top, Bentley is releasing the Bentayga Speed, featuring a boost in power from its 6-liter turbocharged W12. The Bentayga Speed receives 26 more horsepower, bringing total output to 626 from 600, with torque increasing to 664 lb-ft. This translates to a 0-60 sprint in just 3.9 seconds and a top speed in the rarified stratosphere of supercars at 190 MPH, easily making the Bentayga Speed the fastest production SUV in the world. A 48-volt roll control system is tuned to make the most of the improved power, and massive carbon-ceramic brakes bring stopping power that rivals the top speed. The interior is as luxurious as you'd expect, with contrast stitching and "Speed" embroidered in the headrests. Each Bentayga Speed can be tailored to suit via Bentley's bespoke customization service, with over 20 color combinations and an options list as big as your dreams.

AddArmor Bulletproof Cadillac Escalade SUV

From the outside, this looks like a mildly-customized Cadillac Escalade, but take a look inside and you'll discover it's anything but. Founded by former law enforcement and special ops members, AddArmor has you covered if your day job involves needing high-security daily transportation. In addition to ballistic glass that can stop high-powered rifle rounds, AddArmor's Executive Protection package adds other hidden countermeasures along with an ultra-luxurious interior. The Escalade's third row is removed for two facing rows of seats and a 32-inch retractable flatscreen TV that separates the driver and passenger compartments. Composite armor panels protect driver and passenger compartments, critical driveline components, and offer huge weight savings over traditional steel armor, ensuring that you can exit a sticky situation as fast as you got into one.

Vandal One Track Car

There are plenty of options for anyone with enough cash to throw at a track toy, but only one is made in in the US — the Vandal One. Based in Detroit, Michigan, Vandal starts with a full carbon fiber monocoque chassis and F1-inspired pushrod suspension design. The monocoque meets FIA crash standards, reinforcing that this is a legit race car, not just a weekend toy. Power comes from Honda's 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Civic Type R, making 340 horsepower in standard tuning and a massive 560 in the One R. The engine is mated to a sequential six-speed transmission by Sadev that can complete shifts in 40ms. The carbon fiber bodywork produces over 1,700 pounds of downforce and is completely independent of the chassis, meaning it can be changed or upgraded as necessary. The entire car weighs just 1,221 pounds, giving it a power-to-weight ratio better than a Bugatti Chiron — and potentially better performance. Preorders for the One are open now.

2020 Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road SUV

Toyota's RAV4 created the crossover SUV category when it was released in 1994, borrowing chassis elements from the Corolla sedan and wrapping it in SUV bodywork. That successful formula saw the fifth generation of the platform arrive in late 2018, and now the RAV4 is getting Toyota's TRD treatment to boost its offroad bonafides. The RAV4 TRD isn't just an appearance package. Taking cues from the Ray Millen Rally RAV4, the RAV4 TRD builds on the Adventure package with redesigned suspension components like coil springs and twin-tube shocks with greater wheel travel and better body control. The exterior has an exclusive front grille and trim pieces that set it apart from the Adventure model, along with SofTex seating surfaces and lighter, more rigid 18" wheels with Falken offroad tires. Pricing and availability will be announced closer to launch later in 2019.

Diamond Atelier Groot BMW R65 Motorcycle

German motorcycle design shop Diamond Atelier made their reputation building customized versions of classic air-cooled BMWs. Continuing in that successful vein, Diamond Atelier has released their third series production model, the Groot. Diamond Atelier's second series model, the Mark II, was named after Tony Stark's Iron Man suit, and the BMW R65-based Groot continues that trend. Taking advantage of the R65's shorter wheelbase, the Groot is Diamond Atelier's vision of an urban scrambler. Modern 53mm USD forks replace the original units and carry dual six-piston calipers gripping wave rotors mounted to BMW snowflake rims. Knobby Continental Twinduro TKC80 tires provide the grip for dirt trails or urban riding, and a fully refurbished frame and motor ensure this bike will be running for years to come. Two tank styles are available in two different paint schemes — one Groot-inspired and the other a classic two-tone. The Groot is available for order now.

2019 Ram 1500 Multifunction Tailgate

Horsepower. Towing capacity. Frame materials. Pickup trucks try to one-up each other in many ways, and the latest is... tailgates. Following GMC's introduction of its MultiPro tailgate, Ram is joining the fray with this option. Available across all seven Ram 1500 models, it has dual side-hinged doors that allow for four configurations: open flat, left open only, right open only, and both open. Each door swings open 88 degrees, has a trailer-friendly design, and can be paired with a retractable center-mounted step for added versatility.

Droog Moto Urban Fighter Kawasaki Z1000 Motorcycle

Droog Moto has added another post-apocalyptic transport to its arsenal with its latest build, the Urban Fighter. The Urban Fighter is Droog's biggest bike yet, but the Kawasaki Z1000 underneath means it's far nicer to ride than its looks suggest. Droog's trademark industrial vision is readily apparent in the custom fuel cell, front fairing, and fenders, sporting an angular design in raw steel. All unnecessary bodywork and tabs have been removed and the wiring has been reduced and tucked away. The rear subframe has been replaced with a custom piece that carries a leather skateboard seat and low-profile LED brake light. Aluminum wheel inserts add to the solid heavy equipment look that belies the flickability of the underlying chassis. If surviving the collapse of society is what you're after, Droog Moto's creations have style in spades.

Mazda MX-5 Miata 30th Anniversary Edition

The spiritual successor to the European sports cars of the '50s and '60s, the MX-5 was an immediate hit when it was debuted at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show. 30 years later, Mazda is bringing a special version back to the Windy City. Available in both soft top and RF Targa models, the Miata 30th Anniversary Edition pays homage to one of the most enjoyable drives around. Decked out in exclusive Racing Orange paint, it sits on RAYS ZE40 17-inch dark gunmetal forged alloy wheels and is powered by a SKYACTIV-G 2.0L engine outputting 181 hp, or more than enough for open-air thrills on a curvy road. Limited to just 500 examples in the US and 3,000 worldwide, it's already sold out, although Mazda does have a waiting list for those hoping someone else changes their mind.

Hennessey McLaren 600LT HPE1000 Coupe

No matter how good a car or truck comes from the factory, there's always more to be had — and John Hennessey is determined to get every last ounce of performance he can, no matter how exotic the car. Hennessey Performance's latest project is the McLaren 600LT, a car that hits 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 204 MPH out of the box. Proving that too much is never enough, Hennessey takes the 600LT into the performance stratosphere, increasing horsepower to 1001. Acceleration figures decrease accordingly, with 0-60 coming in 2.1 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 9.6 seconds at 156 MPH. The HPE1000 includes a new twin-turbo system, wastegates, intercooler, and stainless exhaust, along with carbon fiber exterior trim and Hennessey emblems. When John Hennessey took delivery of the first 600LT in the US, he said it couldn't be improved — and you can see how long that opinion lasted.

Recommissioned Porsche Carrera GT

The Porsche Carrera GT marked Porsche's first supercar designed specifically for the street. A mid-mounted V10 taken from Porsche's stalled F1 engine program made 603 horsepower, and the body and chassis were made from carbon fiber, making the Carrera GT a technological tour de force that still puts up impressive numbers in today's supercar world. Every car regardless of pedigree needs a restoration at some point, and the owner of this 2003 Carrera GT decided it was time for a refresh — and there's no better Porsche expert than Porsche themselves. The car was completely disassembled and the carbon fiber body and chassis were stripped and recoated to eliminated the yellowing of the clearcoat. The magnesium wheels were plated in silver, as polishing would weaken the alloy, and coated to prevent tarnishing. Oak Green paint was chosen for the exterior, a color Porsche hadn't offered since the 70s, making this rare Porsche an even more unique car.

2020 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro SUV

Slotted in between the 4Runner and Land Cruiser, the Sequoia has always been the most domestic of Toyota's SUVs. With the 2020 Sequoia TRD Pro, it gets to join in the off-road fun. Like its Pro stablemates, it has a TRD-tuned Fox suspension, retro "TOYOTA" grille, LED lighting, a highly capable 4WD system, and specialty wheels with knobby, dirt-chewing tires. It's powered by a 381 hp 5.7L V8 engine with a towing capacity of 7,100 lbs, has an upgraded multimedia system with support for Android Auto, CarPlay, and Alexa, and with seven seats, has plenty of space for gear and fellow adventurers alike.

Bugatti Chiron Sport 110 ans Coupe

Bugatti is celebrating 110 years of making some of the best sporting and luxury automobiles the world has ever seen. To mark the historic occasion, Bugatti is releasing the extremely limited-edition Chiron Sport 110 ans — a tribute not just to Bugatti but also their home country of France. A special two-tone Steel Blue hue colors the carbon fiber bodywork, with "110 ans" logos incorporating the French tricolor on the special lightweight wheels, seats, and the 12 o'clock position on the steering wheel. The brake calipers are painted a contrasting French Racing Blue, while the exhaust gets a special matte black coating that matches the wheels. The underside of the retractable rear wing also sports the French tricolor — although it might be hard to see while pulling away from onlookers at speed.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD Truck

Fresh off the release of the 2020 Silverado, Chevrolet is introducing the HD version of its popular truck at the Chicago Auto Show, and the number one word is towing. The max towing load is now 35,500 pounds when properly equipped, a massive 52% jump from the outgoing model. Payload also received a significant increase to 7,466 pounds. Both ratings owe their increases to the new 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V8. With 455 horsepower, 910 lb-ft of torque, and features like a warning to keep the engine running to cool if it's hot — and if the driver ignores it, the remote start will crank the engine and override the operator. The Duramax diesel is paired with a new Allison 10-speed transmission, while standard HD models get a 6.6-liter gasoline V8 with 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. Aids like Park Grade Hold Assist work the brakes when stopped on hills, and up to 15 different rear camera angles eliminate the need for a buddy to help you line up the trailer. The 2020 Silverado arrives at dealers this summer, with pricing available leading up to the release date.

2017 Raceworks Raptor Pre-Runner Truck

Ford's F-150 Raptor has its roots in desert-racing Baja trophy trucks and thus has serious offroad chops. But like any street vehicle, it's a compromise between something you can live with every day and something that's still able to tackle the unpaved outdoors. This Raceworks Raptor is not that truck. Originally built in 2007, this Raptor pre-runner has a custom chassis with fiberglass Raptor body panels and dashboard. Outside of that, it's a real Baja beast, with a Danzio LS V8 making 564 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. Fox suspension components are at every wheel, along with Brembo brake calipers and aircraft-grade hoses and fittings. The interior is far more comfortable than your average trophy truck, with powered Sparco racing buckets, a Raptor dash, and infotainment displays. If you're in the market for a serious offroad truck or looking to run the next Baja 1000, this is the one you've been waiting for.

1999 Lamborghini Diablo VT Millennium Roadster

When Lamborghini retired the Countach in 1990 and introduced its new supercar, the company did something only the likes of Ferrari and Porsche seemed capable of — catching lightning twice in a row. The Diablo picked up right where the Countach left off, with a beautifully aggressive shape and performance to match. The car would be continually refined over the next 11 years, including an all-wheel-drive VT model like the one shown here. More than just the usual VT, however, this Diablo is a Millenium Edition Roadster, the seventh of 10 made for the US market. The Millenium Edition came in titanium metallic or yellow, and all US models came in the metallic paint scheme. The package included a carbon fiber spoiler, bespoke leather seats, and a short rear differential from the Diablo SV. The Diablo here is fully documented and has racked up just over 8,000 miles since delivery, and the current bid — $225,000 — reflects the car's condition and desirability.

2019 Range Rover Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition SUV

Range Rover's gorgeous Velar is getting an ultra-luxurious top-of-the-line trim package with the SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition. The ultimate Velar model gets a supercharged 550 horsepower V8 that sprints from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and tops out at 170 MPH — all while capable of the offroad prowess inherent in the Range Rover name. The exterior receives a new front fascia with larger openings to aid in cooling the engine and larger brakes, and the rear bumper has been reworked to incorporate quad exhaust tips. An eight-speed transmission and all-wheel-drive system have been revised to take advantage of the increased power, along with tweaked suspension and electronic driving aids. The Velar SVAutobiography Edition will be available for one year only, so getting to the dealer early is imperative — and the exclusive Satin Byron Blue paint is an excellent choice.

Hispano Suiza Carmen Electric Hypercar

Famed automaker Hispano Suiza is introducing its first production car since 1946 at the 2019 Geneva Auto Show. Named "Carmen" after the granddaughter of the founder, the new model will be an all-electric hypercar based around a carbon fiber monocoque chassis. The design recalls the 1938 Dubonnet Xenia (pictured above), a beautiful, futuristic car commissioned by French pilot André Dubonnet and built by Hispano Suiza. The powertrain comes from QEV Technologies, a company that works with Formula E teams and other manufacturers. The silhouette photograph shows lines that mimic the Dubonnet Xenia, but details are scarce until the car is revealed in Geneva. Expect to hear a lot more when the Geneva show starts March 7, 2019.

1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante Coupe

Among automobiles, there are few true Holy Grails. The Ferrari 250 GTO, 1950s Jaguars and Aston Martins with their racing histories and early Rolls-Royces are a few examples. But few road cars can compete with Bugatti's Type 57SC Atalante. Designed by Ettore Bugatti's son Jean, the Type 57 debuted at the London Motor Show in 1935. Only 48 Type 57S's would be built, and only 17 would be bodied with the Atalante coachwork seen on the car here. This Atalante is the first of four made with the "low-headlight" design that appeared on the prototype at the 1937 Paris Auto Show. The twin-cam straight-eight motor is an advanced design based on the Type 49 and has been brought to Type 57SC specs with a period-correct supercharger. With a completely documented history since new and retaining much of its original parts, this Type 57 is a very valuable piece of early automotive history.

1979 Mercedes-Benz 500 TE AMG Wagon

AMG has built a household name as Mercedes' performance wing. Far less well-known in the late 1970s before merging with Mercedes, AMG already had a reputation for modifying the German company's sedans and wagons with serious performance parts. But this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 500 TE wagon is a mystery, despite being equipped with the best AMG had to offer at the time. There is no record of the 5-liter V8 in the car having been assigned to any chassis by Mercedes, meaning that a swap from a donor is highly unlikely. The motor has AMG headers and exhaust, oil cooler, and motor mounts custom-made for the car, and the rear suspension has been replaced with AMG-exclusive aluminum alloy pieces. AMG wheels, badging, monochrome paint scheme, and Recaro seats are all consistent with AMG's offerings at the time, and only someone with deep knowledge of AMG could have performed the modifications — meaning that it's either an unrecorded factory build or a passion project built by an unknown AMG employee in-period.

1987 Ferrari F40 LM Coupe

The last Ferrari overseen by Enzo himself, the F40 was released in 1987 to celebrate Maranello's 40th anniversary and to capitalize on the 288 GTO that was developed for the now-defunct FIA Group B racing formula. The F40 was as raw a road car as was ever built, with almost nothing in the way of luxury appointments, and was never intended for the race track — until French Ferrari importer Charles Pozzi wanted to race one. Bigger IHI turbochargers and intercoolers brought the 2.9-liter V8 to over 700 horsepower from 471 in stock trim, and weight was reduced by over 400 pounds along with chassis modifications. The F40 LM here was a factory prototype and finished 12th overall and 6th in class at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, eight years after it was built — an impressive feat for a car that wasn't designed to race.

Volkswagen Electric Dune Buggy Concept

In 1964 Bruce Meyers introduced the Meyers Manx, a fiberglass body on a Volkswagen Beetle chassis, and created one of the wildest combinations of German engineering and American design ever imagined. The dune buggy has been synonymous with VW ever since, and the company's venerable flat-four has powered everything from rail buggies to fiberglass kit cars. VW has come up with their own take on the buggy, replacing the rear-mounted flat-four with an electric drivetrain and bringing the classic into the modern age. Built on VW's MEB modular electric platform used on the upcoming ID hatchback, the Dune Buggy demonstrates the variety of cars that can be built with it. With VW killing the New Beetle, the Dune Buggy concept points at the possibility of a successor to the massively popular original.

Jan Koum Porsche Collection

Jan Koum, the co-founder of WhatsApp, has officially run out of garage space. At least that's his rationale for unloading 10 choice examples of Porsche history from the early '90s to the present day, all at a no-reserve auction. Three air-cooled 911s start the collection, each one in yellow. A 1992 964 Carrera RS is the oldest of the lot, delivered new in Italy and painted Blossom Yellow. The other 964 RS was built in 1993, finished in Speed Yellow and one of only 11 made. A 1995 993 Carrera in the same color boasts a massive options list and is in showroom condition. Skipping ahead a decade or so brings us to four 997s: A 2008 GT3 RS in green, a 2010 model, a 2011 GT3 RS with only 150 miles, and a 1-of-500 special edition. But the centerpiece of the collection is the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach, one of only 162 Weissach editions made and driven less than 20 miles. If late-model Porsches are your weakness, there's plenty here to want.

Gemballa GTR 8XX EVO-R Biturbo Coupe

Calling any 911 model the "ultimate" 911 is a lesson in futility — and how to quickly lose friends. From Le Mans-winning factory racers to aftermarket resto-mods that rival current production 911s, there's no shortage of extreme-performance variants of Porsche's most famous model. Porsche tuner Gemballa is making a strong case for its GTR 8XX EVO-R as one of the best 911s ever, taking the 911 Turbo to hypercar levels of performance. The 3.8-liter flat-six produces 818 horsepower and 810 lb-ft of torque thanks to larger turbos and enhanced internals. This pushes the EVO-R to 62 MPH in 2.38 seconds and from 0-124 in a face-peeling 7.5 seconds. The exterior aero treatment is anything but subtle, with carbon fiber front and rear spoilers and fender flares that widen the track by 1.2 inches in front and two inches in the rear, bringing handling in line with the increased power. Pricing and availability haven't been released, but building one of the best 911s ever won't be cheap.
