Auto Fabrica Type 18 BMW R nineT Scrambler Motorcycle

The cafe racer style may very well have had its day with the current push towards futurism in the custom bike scene. Auto Fabrica embodies that trend with its BMW R nineT-based Type 18, that takes a large step towards the future of motorcycle design rather looking strictly towards the past for its design influences. Commissioned by BMW Motorrad for the Wheels and Waves festive in the south of France, Auto Fabrica decided to take BMW's infinitely customizable platform in a future-looking direction. Stripping the R nineT down to its bare essentials, Auto Fabrica used a minimalist philosophy when building it back, crafting flying wings that reference BMW's roots as an aircraft engine manufacturer. Aiming for a modular design, the project has interchangeable panels with a look towards volume production. Orders are strictly limited, although the design should see several evolutions going forward.

1965 Aston Martin DB5 007 Bond Car

Aston Martin recently revealed that it will be creating a continuation of the famous DB5 that first appeared in the James Bond film Goldfinger. This is not a continuation — this is the real deal, one-four 1965 DB5s modified by special effects pioneer John Stears for the film. A movie star in its own right, this DB5 has passed through only three owners in its time since starring in Goldfinger and Thunderball and had a full restoration, including all 13 gadgets, in 2012. In addition to being in top-notch mechanical condition, each gadget is in fully working condition, minus the ejection seat — although there is a button for it. More than just a car, this film icon will go to a new, very lucky owner when it crosses the auction block this August in Monterey.

Mansory Bugatti Chiron Centuria

How to improve on the Bugatti Chiron is a question no one has dared to ask — until now. Mansory has taken on the task of modifying a car that changed the entire idea of what street-legal cars were capable of, and while demand by definition won't be great, someone with one of the 500 Chirons has sprung for the package. What Mansory doesn't do is touch the 1,500 horsepower 8-liter W16 motor. The exterior, however, gets a much more sinister look thanks to carbon fiber body panels, side skirts, a rear wing along with a coat of Centuria blue paint. Turbine-style forged alloy wheels with carbon fiber coverings replace the stock ones, and a redesigned engine cover aims to offer better cooling to the quad-turbo motor. The interior also receives some changes, most notably with blue and aqua accents and quilted leather, along with a new steering wheel. The package will add another $2 million on top of the Chiron's astronomical $3 million price tag, making this a very limited edition indeed.

Vandenbrink Ferrari 612 Shooting Brake

The marriage of sports car and wagon, the shooting brake is one of the best ideas to come out of Europe. What we know as the shooting brake started with Italian coachbuilders in the early 60s, taking sports cars from the likes of Aston Martin and Ferrari and adding an extended wagon-esque extended roofline. Dutch company Vandenbrink Design took a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti 2+2 and completely redesigned the bodywork in-house with a unique shooting brake style. With its true 2+2 GT layout and 5.7-liter, 540 horsepower V12, the 612 Scaglietti is the perfect base for such the project. Vandenbrink's sweeping roofline incorporates two skylights over the rear seats and incorporates a small spoiler at the rear of the roof. The new bodywork meets perfectly with the rear, where the original four round taillights are retained. A well-engineered one-off custom, this is one of the most unique custom Ferraris ever.

Recast Moto Guzzi Nevada 750 Motorcycle

Founded in Belarus in 2014, Recast Moto creates custom motorcycles influenced by their home country. Matiz Lemark of Recast took a rough 1999 Moto Guzzi Nevada 750 cruiser and turned it into the blacked out scrambler you see here. The design revolves around a vintage Honda CB750 gas tank that was sourced from the US and took nearly a month to get to Minsk. In the meantime, Recast took the opportunity to strip the Guzzi down for painting, rebuilding the motor and adding spoked wheels with knobby all-terrain tires. Custom controls were made from duralumin and the grips were sourced from a snowmobile — a far more common vehicle in Belarus. A hand-stitched leather skateboard seat, custom subframe, and several coats of charcoal black finished the sinister project.

Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Continuation Coupe

After 4,500 hours of intensive labor using original manufacturing techniques and modern methods, the first Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato continuation will be making its debut at the place that led to its creation — the Circuit de la Sarthe during the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans. The original DB4 GT Zagato was a thoroughbred race car, built to challenge Ferrari on race tracks around the world. Only 19 were built, and this DB4 GT would be right at home with its period competitors. Finished in Rosso Maja, Aston Martin matched the paint using masters from the original supplier. The interior is finished in Obsidian Black leather and is equipped with an FIA-approved roll cage and a carbon fiber racing seat. A 4.7-liter inline six makes 390 horsepower and drives the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. As exacting and beautiful as the first 19, this DB4 GT Zagato is truly a modern classic.

2020 Bentley Flying Spur Sedan

Bentley is introducing the third generation of the Flying Spur, billing it as an ultra-luxury sedan that's as enjoyable to drive as it is to be driven in. The technology has been ramped up in the new Flying Spur, with a 48-volt electrical system and aluminum and composite monocoque. All-wheel-steering is available for the first time in a Bentley, along with active roll bars and an electronically-controlled air suspension that can switch between limousine-plush and sports sedan-firm and the flick of a switch. The twin-turbo W12 returns, making 626 horsepower and pushing the massive Flying Spur from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 207 MPH, getting you to your destination as fast and as fresh as possible. Orders start Fall 2019, with deliveries beginning in early 2020.

2019 Ultima RS Coupe

As good as the cars wearing the prancing horse and the raging bull are, for the true driving enthusiast, there's really only one contender — the Ultima RS. Founded in 1992, Ultima Sports has been making street-legal race cars that are among the highest-performing autos ever made. The Ultima RS modifies the Ultima chassis to accept all current of Chevrolet LT V8 engines. From the base 450 horsepower LT to the supercharged motor current Corvette ZR1, the classic combination of American power and British chassis makes the RS a formidable competitor. For the truly insane, a 1,200 horsepower supercharged V8 is also available, making the RS a Le Mans racer for the street.

Legacy Dodge Power Wagon Trucks

The Dodge Power Wagon entered production in 1945 as a slightly more civilized version of the WC-series military trucks made during WWII. Known internally as the T137, the Power Wagon was the first mass-produced medium-duty truck and gained a reputation for toughness and reliability. Legacy Classic Trucks is building a line of completely-restored Power Wagons that rival the original in terms of capability — and creature comforts. Starting with a western-sourced donor, Legacy completely tears down each Power Wagon and adds a modern LS V8 or diesel engine and new transmission. Marine-grade epoxy paint protects the strengthened chassis, and all-new driveline components are added. A new interior with stereo and air conditioning make each Power Wagon a great place to spend time, and a host of options are available — including a 6x6 conversion.

Brabus Black Ops 800 SUV

Wasting no time raising the bar for ultra-luxury SUVs, Brabus' Black Ops 800 takes the Mercedes G63 AMG, the top model in the G-Class lineup, Brabus transforms it into a super-SUV that has more power than either the Lamborghini Urus or Bentley Bentayaga. The stock motor is swapped for Brabus' in-house 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 making 800 horsepower, good for pushing the G-Wagen from 0-62 MPH in 4.1 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 150 MPH. Brabus then adds its Widestar body kit and massive 23-inch forged alloy wheels with a track increase of four inches. The interior receives a complete makeover as well, with a red-and-black color scheme, embroidered logos, and 1-of-10 plates to remind passengers of just how exclusive this SUV is.

1966 Jaguar XJ13 Recreation

The Ferrari 250 GTO might get all the attention and record-setting selling prices, but the best-looking automobile ever made never put a wheel on the track in anger. The 1966 Jaguar XJ13 was going to be the company's triumphant return to Le Mans, but the project stalled and only one prototype was made. Impossibly long, low, beautiful, and the absolute pinnacle of Jaguar's design language from the late 40s, the XJ13 is rare — which means if you want one, you're going to have to get a replica. This XJ13 is an identical copy of the original down to the last nut and rivet. Built by New Zealander Rob Tempero, it has a mid-mounted V12 displayed under glass, making it the highlight of this masterpiece. But even better than the exquisite workmanship is that it's going to be sold to a very lucky bidder.

1992 Toyota Bandeirante OJ55 Truck

The J40 was the last of the original Land Cruisers, made from 1960 to 1984. Eight years later, Toyota was still making the J40, called the OJ55, for the Brazilian military, which is how the story of this 1992 J40 came to be in Alabama. A rare four-door soft top, the truck was completely restored in Brazil before being shipped to the States in late 2018. The most notable work done was an engine swap to a 3.8-liter Mercedes diesel four-cylinder engine, backed by a four-speed manual and two-speed transfer case — a marriage of the best of Germany and Japan. A recent repaint in Highway Green Pearl and tan canvas soft top and doors pay homage to this Land Cruiser's military origins, with grey steel wheels and BF Goodrich A/T tires. Mechanically sound and ready to drive, this rare Land Cruiser is ready for action.

Skoda Mountiaq Truck Concept

Some of the best SUVs on the market aren't available to customers in the US, like the new Suzuki Jimny and the stripped-down versions of the Toyota Land Cruiser. Another great SUV we in the States are going to miss out on is the very production-ready looking Skoda Mountiaq truck. Based on Skoda's Kodiaq SUV, the Mountaiq is an extended-cab pickup loaded with hardcore offroad features. 35 apprentice designers at the Skoda Vocational School spent eight months coming up the Mountiaq, and their attention to detail shows. The muscular stance is enhanced by a bull bar, winch, and snorkel, along with plenty of LED lighting. Another trick feature is in the bed, with diamond plate that hides several storage compartments leave the main cargo area unaffected. While the Mountaiq is a concept, expect it to influence Skoda's future offerings.

2020 Land Rover Defender SUV

Britain might be Land Rover's birthplace, but the African continent has been its home away from home. With the new Defender getting ready to make its showroom debut, Land Rover made sure the SUV's legendary reputation was intact. This meant 750,000 miles of testing in the harshest climates around the world, and a stint helping African wildlife conservancy group Tusk in the field. Land Rover and Tusk have been partner's for 15 years, and the new Defender pulled duty at the Borana Conservancy in Kenya, helping the group with their lion conservation program. With wild lion's numbering around 20,000 worldwide, the conservation movement has never been more critical — and the Defender was there to help.

2020 BMW M8 Coupe & Convertible

BMW has been hard at work on their flagship M8 grand tourer. The race car version of the M8, the M8 GTE, has been competing in the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship with a win at the 24 Hours of Daytona. BMW has been incorporating all that experience in the production version, which will be hitting showrooms in 2019. A twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 makes 619 horsepower, good for 0-60 times of three seconds and a top speed of 189 MPH in the M Competition model. The exterior styling features the latest iteration of the twin-kidney grille, with carbon fiber surrounds, rear spoiler, and roof with the option M Carbon package. The interior sports Merino leather and several trim options, including carbon fiber, wood, and piano black, and a matching Alcantara headliner. A 12.3" infotainment display is standard, along with the latest BMW driver assists. Add in other options like carbon ceramic brakes, and you have the best GT BMW has ever produced.

1971 Toyota Land Cruiser G43 SUV

Built from 1960 until 1984, the FJ43 Land Cruiser was an extremely rare model, available as a two-door medium wheelbase with either a soft or hardtop. The FJ Company managed to find one for a client and restored it into the olive green beauty pictured here. Starting with a complete teardown to the bare sheet metal, the FJ Company brought this FJ43 back to life with a caramel-colored leather interior and rear bench seats, modern electronics and amenities, and a new 4-liter Toyota V6. A subtle suspension lift makes room for new wheels and BFGoodrich tires, and a heavy-duty front bumper has a Warn winch installed. As functional as it is good looking, this FJ43 is ready for what the client needed — a stunning summer ride.

Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato Off-Road Concept

Before all-wheel-drive took over WRC rally racing, mid-engine rear-wheel-drive Italian cars like the Lancia Stratos and 037, the last rear-wheel-drive car to win the title, dominated. With cars like Safari 911s growing in popularity, Lamborghini has created an off-road Huracán concept called the Huracán Sterrato, using the same V10 and all-wheel-drive system as its street-going cousin Huracán Evo cousin. Changes to the ECU give more power lower in the RPM range, and the track has been widened over an inch, with almost two inches more ride height. Aluminum skid plates and side skirts combined with Kevlar body panels protect critical drivetrain components, and an LED lightbar and pods keep the road lit after dark. Lamborghini has already done the work, and seeing the Huracán Sterrato mixing it up in the WRC would be a beautiful thing.

Porsche 935 Custom Liveries

There's no shortage of classic race-winning liveries for Porsche's original 935 race car, and these renders of the new 935 recall some of the company's greatest moments. With designer Grant Larson and the Porsche's in-house team, the new 935 wears some of the most iconic colors in the team's history. The Gulf livery, worn by the Le Mans-dominating 917, is here, along with the red-and-yellow of the MOMO Racing 935 that won at Spa. The sinister gold-and-black of Team Kremer's Group 5 John Player Special is represented, along with the Martini Racing colors of the 935 production model.

Sarolea x Mighty Machines N60 MM.01 Electric Motorcycle

Belgian motorcycle manufacturer Sarolea and design house Café Costume have collaborated on an electric motorcycle and style package that covers all the riding basics with flair. Sarolea's N60 is a cafe-style bike built on the same platform as the Manx7 electric superbike, with an air-cooled brushless DC motor making 163 horsepower and covering 205 miles before needing a recharge. All this is housed in a carbon fiber monocoque with Ohlins suspension front and rear and a carbon fiber swingarm. In addition to the N60, Café Costume has designed a bespoke tailored riding suit to compliment Sarolea's advanced engineering. The suit features integrated protection while maintaining a modern look — on or off the bike. Hedon Helmets of Milan created the carbon fiber helmet and Studio Blade the handmade Damascus steel knife, making everything you need to ride in style.

Polestar 2

The first all-electric car from the electric performance brand, the Polestar 2 isn't just a competitor for Tesla's Model 3, but a statement of Polestar's future ambitions. It fits a 78 kWh battery under the floor of a crossover platform, providing a stable base with low CG for added safety and comfort. Two motors — one in the front, one in the rear — provide 408 hp, 300 kW, and a 0-62 time under five seconds, and the regenerative braking system helps extend the range out to 275 miles. The aerodynamic fastback profile makes room for five doors, all of which open to an interior that mixes avant-garde design with old-world comfort. That includes vegan materials, the world's first Android-powered infotainment system with Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play Store, and phone-as-key technology that enables everything from easy car sharing to having the cabin prepared before you even open the door.

Garage Italia Icon-e Fiat 500 Concept

A new trend is has been gaining traction in the world of classic cars. Retrofitting electric drivetrains has become increasingly popular, with custom shops like Icon and even manufacturers like Jaguar offering reversible conversions of their classic models. Milan's Garage Italia is starting their own line of electrified classics with the Icon-e Fiat 500 concept. More than just a drivetrain swap, Garage Italia has radically changed Fiat's famous city car into a beach-going ride that captures summer on four wheels. The top and doors have been removed and the interior replaced with wicker basketweave seats. Ropes replace the doors and a safety cell helps maintain the structural integrity of the car. Details like a custom digital dash and charging port hidden under the front Fiat emblem let you know this isn't you're typical 500. This 500 is Garage Italia's first entry in the electric Icon-e line, with more to follow.

1988 Porsche 959 Komfort

In 1988, Dr. Friedrick Christian Flick ordered a highly-customized version of Porsche's top model — the 959 — through the Special Wishes. Only 284 959s were made, and about 20-25 were had the exclusive customization Porsche's Special Wishes could provide. Dr. Flick ordered his 959 in black, one of only three to come from the factory in that color, with black wheels and a caramel leather interior. Dr. Flick also specified all three interior options and a special steering wheel. All interior surfaces were cover in leather, from the air vents to window switches, along with black carpeting. The car was serviced at the Porsche factory during Flick's ownership, before being sold and coming to the US. Now converted to better-performing 959 S specs, the car includes all of its "Komfort" parts. Perfectly maintained and with just 26,000 miles, this is one of the rarest 959s ever made.

Maltec Maltexplorer Toyota Land Cruiser Overlanders

The Toyota Land Cruiser and off-the-grid adventure have gone hand-in-hand for nearly 70 years. While the Land Cruiser has gotten more friendly over the years, its capability hasn't, and Maltec's Maltexplorer overlanders prove what the platform is capable of. Maltec's upgrades are available for five of the best Land Cruiser versions and include a fully-equipped carbon fiber popup camper with kitchenette and bathroom, upgraded suspension and drivetrain components, and a full suite of recovery gear. And if the Land Cruiser isn't your first choice, Maltec offers similar conversions for Mercedes G-Class and Land Rover models.

GeigerCars Jeep Trackhawk Gulf SUV

The Gulf Oil livery is one of the most iconic paint schemes in the history of racing, most notably on the Ford GT40, Porsche 917, and McLaren F1 GTR, all legendary Le Mans winners. GeigerCars dressed up a Jeep Trackhawk in the colors, and it's more than just a skin-deep paint job. The SUV's over an inch lower thanks to new springs, and a new supercharger, forged pistons, air filter, and other engine internals bring horsepower up to 900. Top speed is 194 MPH, and both figures would make the afore-mentioned Le Mans winners blush. GeigerCars has a used Trackhawk up for sale or will be more than happy to build a fresh one — as long as you're up for a trip to Germany.

1963 Apollo 3500 GT Spider

The dream of California engineer Milt Brown, the International Motor Cars Apollo was Brown's answer to European GT cars of the 50s and 60s — specifically those of Aston Martin and Ferrari. Brown met Frank Reisner who founded Intermeccanica and contracted the coachbuilding out to Reinser's firm, and the Apollo was born. Released in 1963 with a 3.5-liter Buick V8, the Apollo 3500 was praised for its handling and power beautiful lines. 42 were made before the original production run stopped, although cars were built by various other companies in the years following. This 1963 Apollo 3500 GT Spider is one of the originals and is being auctioned with a fellow 1963 3500 GT coupe and larger-engined 1966 5000 GT coupe. An excellent example of American-European auto partnership, these Apollo GTs are a rare opportunity for a classic sports car collection.

2017 Skynet Moto-Terminator Ducati Motorcycle

When the artificial super-intelligence Skynet determines that the only thing capable of destroying it are humans, it launches a program to exterminate them — leading to the premise of the Terminator films. From aerial vehicles to tanks, drones, and sending the famous Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Series 800 Terminator back in time to kill John Connor, Skynet has come up with some very creative ways to eliminate humanity. The moto-terminator pictured here was featured in the 2009 Terminator Slavation film and served as Skynet's attack dog — agile and heavily armed. Designed by Martin Laing and Victor Martinez and built on a 2009 Ducati Monster 1100 S, the bike was ridden in the movie and is extraordinarily detailed, perfectly capturing the Terminator-on-two-wheels look.

2020 Hennessey Maximus 1000 Jeep Gladiator Truck

There's only one answer for upgrading a Chrysler product — put a Hellcat V8 in it. That's exactly what Hennessey did with the Maximus 1000, the appropriately-named package for Jeep's Gladiator truck. The 3.6-liter V6 goes in favor of a 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat crate motor, upgraded with Hennessey's HPE1000 setup to make 1,000 horsepower and 933 lb-ft of torque mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. A new ECU, fuel system and stainless exhaust are added to keep up with the new engine, along with a six-inch suspension lift and 20-inch Hennessey wheels and BF Goodrich tires. A custom leather interior with embroidered Maximus logos replaces the stock offering, along with a front brush guard and LED lighting. Hennessey will make 24 of the most powerful Jeep's on the road for $200,000 each, including the Gladiator base vehicle.

Ferrari SF90 Stradale Sports Car

The first hybrid Ferrari. The first 4WD Ferrari. The first flagship Ferrari to have a V8. All those firsts add up to one thing: the SF90 Stradale, the most powerful Ferrari ever made. Pairing a 769 hp, 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with a trio of electric motors good for a total of 217 hp — one on each front wheel and one between the engine and gearbox — it goes from 0-62 mph in just 2.5 seconds, hits 124 in just 6.7 seconds, and has a top speed of 211. It also has an active aero system that can create up to 860 lbs of downforce at 155 mph; an even higher-performance version, the Assetto Fiorano, will shed 66 lbs of weight via carbon fiber and titanium components and offer even greater downforce. Named to honor the 90th anniversary of the Scuderia Ferrari racing team, we can't wait to see what they're cooking up for the 100th.
