As electric motorcycles become more and more routine, so does their customization. While we’ve already brought you some rad custom electric bikes, this custom Zero FX by Italy’s Plan B Motorcycles is in a different league altogether.

The Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most iconic American sports cars. And while there’s hardly any Corvette worth missing out on, the American icon also proved to be a great basis for other high-performance machines. One of the greatest examples of that is the Kellison J6 Panther, which was the creation of former aircraft engineer, Jim Kellison, who in 1958, founded Kellison Auto Engineering company and aimed to build an even faster version of the Chevrolet Corvette.

Almost every automaker has abandoned its efforts when it comes to hydrogen propulsion. Toyota is one of the only few automakers who remain committed to the tech, but it seems another automaker is willing to explore hydrogen powertrains as well. As a way of "safeguarding" the future of the internal combustion engine (ICE), French sportscar manufacturer, Alpine, says that they are "actively" exploring hydrogen power for its future sports cars.

BMW’s hottest-selling compact SUV, the X3, is just a year old since it has received a facelift, and a new generation X3 is already in the making and will possibly launch in 2024 or the beginning of 2025. Our photographers have caught the upcoming fourth-generation X3 prototype near BMW headquarters as they were being loaded onto a trailer.

Update 7-4-2022: Another BMW X3 prototype was caught testing on public roads, this time with a different camo layout.

If there’s one motorcycle company that has always stayed true to its roots, it has to be Royal Enfield. Taking inspiration from this, India-based Rajputana Customs (RCM) has converted a 2022 Classic 350 into an old-school bobber with countless elements shaped to match the brand’s early 1900 models.

The new generation C-Class was launched in 2021, and it brings a lot of improvements when compared to the previous model. German tuner Brabus wasn’t very happy with the way the new C-Class looks and acts, so it has come up with an impressive list of updates for both the A-Class sedan and station wagon. The changes are applied to the models equipped with the optional AMG Line and bring modifications to both the exterior, interior, and under the hood.

Ever since its inception, the BMW R 18 has gathered a lot of attention (read love) from custom bike builders and it isn’t stopping anytime soon. The latest addition to the list of custom R 18s comes from popular bikemaker Workhorse Speed Shop, with the inspiration for the motorcycle coming from none other than Bentley and Rolls-Royce cars.

Jaguar unveiled the C-Type in 1951 and production ended in 1953. But, despite the two years production run only 53 C-Type units were built, 43 of which arrived at private owners, mostly in the U.S. As you can imagine, finding one is very difficult, and when you do it gets very expensive. Usually, the C-Type is being sold at auction for more than $5 million. But now Jaguar has a solution: as part of the C-Type 70th anniversary, the company decided to build the C-Type Continuation - a model built to the original specs using data from the brand’s archive and by scanning an original model. Only eight will be built, and after more than a year of development, the first unit is finally ready to hit the road - just in time to celebrate 70 years since the C-Type won the Reims Grand Prix Meeting on 29 June 1952.

The Shelby Cobra is one of the most iconic and sought-after American muscle cars. Despite it being based on the British AC Ace, the Cobra became its own thing thanks to American racing driver and car builder, Carroll Shelby. While every car enthusiast wants a piece of this American automotive history, not everyone can afford the seven-figure price of an original Cobra. Because of this, the Cobra is the most replicated car in the world. But just how close can a replica get to the original? Hagerty gives the answer in an episode of the Appraiserwhere a top-of-the-line continuation car is being featured, in order to determine its market value.

Honda took the wraps off the Rebel 1100 in November 2020 intending to take on American cruiser giants like Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycles. Like its American competitors, the motorcycle was quick to gather attention from several custom bikemakers.

One such bike shop was Europe-based FCR Original, which prepared two custom Rebels - CMX Bobber and CMX Sport - and here we’ll deep dive into the details of the former.

Before getting into it, though, let us tell you that Honda has compiled the ten best custom Rebel builds for the 2022 Wheels & Waves bike festival, and both FCR builds are part of it. You can check out all ten bikes on Honda’s website.

The 2023 Subaru Forester STI Sport has just been unveiled in Japan, nearly a year after the facelifted model made its global debut. Since this is an STI Sport and not a full-blown STI, don’t expect any performance upgrades. Instead, the Forester STI Sport benefits from a number of aesthetic upgrades as well as new suspension components that supposedly offers better handling.

Bugatti is a name popular amongst automotive enthusiasts worldwide, not just for its record-breaking fast cars but also for its bank-breaking price tags. But what if we told you there was a Bugatti offering that costs under $1,500? Before you ask us what we’re smoking, allow us to introduce you to the Bugatti 9.0, the company’s first foray into the two-wheeler space as well as the EV space.

With the launch of the E36 M3, BMW confirmed how engaging a coupe could be, be it on the highway or a racetrack. 1992 was the year that introduced the second-generation M3, which was initially available as a coupe, with a convertible joining the game in 1994. The E36 M3 Coupe was special because of a few things, including the powerhouse- the 3.0-liter straight-six engine found for the first time on an M3. If you want one of these iconic 1997 M3 coupes, there’s one listed on Bring a Trailer, and it could be the deal of a lifetime. There are, however, a few reasons for the lower bidding price.

In 1972, BMW unveiled the 3.0 CSL as a lighter version of the 3.0 CS (hence the L in the CSL name). Only 1,265 units were built, but none of these units were sold in the States. In 2022, BMW M celebrates its 50th anniversary, and to mark the event the company will bring the 3.0 CSL name back to the lineup. The model has already been teased by BMW M boss, Frank van Meel, on his Instagram account, but today our spy photographers were also able to catch the future sedan out for a testing session of the streets of Munich, Germany.
