Italian motorcycle builder Bimota has a rich heritage in racing, even holding the crown of Fastest Motorcycle On Earth briefly with its very rare YB6 EXUP in the 90s. Other bikes, like the Massimo Tamburini–designed Bimota Tesi 1D, were game changers, featured hub-center steering—a configuration that sees the front wheel attached to the bike not [...]
This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1-RS rebuild is the brainchild of Jeremy Gerber, co-owner of the Roadster Shop, and customer Barry Blomquist. The idea for the car was to build a modern concept car version of the landmark 1962 Corvette, with artist Eric Brockmeyer brought in to help with renderings and lend ideas for the actual [...]

And to keep things super special, Hennessey Performance is promising to produce only 12 examples of their v1000 for the market. Hennessey’s engineers have surgically fitted the CTS-V’s already [...]
