Stripped down can be damn sexy. In a single sentence, that’s how the new Star Bolt and Bolt R-Spec entries into the bobber motorcycle niche feel, and are hoping you will, too. Yamaha (Star’s parent company) intends this bike to be a no-frills city hopper and commuter. Does it succeed? We recently had the opportunity for some quality ride time on both of these bikes to find out. [See & Read More]

With the hashtag #ibechoppinshitlikejetli, Chief Keef was back on point in his stunt game, posting photos of an Audi R8 GT Spyder, which has a starting MSRP of $210,300. Whether or not he owns the car, we're just not going to guess, because we honestly have no idea. He's been seen with Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, and Bentleys, so maybe he's actually netted a chunk of change over the past two years. Just for some context, the regular Audi R8 Spyder starts at $127,700. The GT's 5.2L V10 engine has 560hp, 130 more than the regular Spyder, and sports a carbon fiber rear wing and a carbon fiber diffusor that really sets it off. [See More]

If the Campagna T-Rex 14R wasn't your cup of tea, the Canadian maker of high-performance trikes has just introduced a smooth new arrival that might change your tune – the T-Rex 16S. Unlike its sibling which is powered by a 1.4-liter four-cylinder screamer sourced from a Kawasaki Ninja, the new Campagna boasts a slightly larger 1.6-liter six-cylinder sourced from BMW. Power is down just a bit, but torque improves (rated output is 160 horsepower and 129 pound-feet), meaning the 1,100-pound-or-so trike with its sequential six-speed transmission should easily crack the 60 mph benchmark in less than five seconds and provide plenty of flexibility around town.

Been kicking yourself ever since you missed out on the chance to own a brand new Enzo? Here's your chance to make up for it. The awkwardly-named Ferrari LaFerrari ($TBA) is the company's new limited-series flagship, offering F1-level technology in a stunning road-legal package. Apart from the unique, instant-classic looks, it features a new HY-KERS drivetrain system that pairs a 789hp, 6.3L V12 to a 160hp electric motor and a 7-speed DCT gearbox for a total of 949hp, a 0-62 time of under three seconds, a 0-124 time of under seven seconds, and a top speed of 205 mph.

Don't get us wrong, the Ferrari F12berlinetta is a beautiful car. This DMC custom is already possibly the sexiest custom we'll see in 2013. But, as was pointed out when the car first launched, the back of the car looks a bit like a uterus. This similarity remains no matter what color it is, even in matte gray. It's just one of those images we can't get out of our heads. Other than that like matte Ferrari is amazing, see more shots after the jump. [See More]

In a pile of e-bikes that can be seen on offer these days, the M-1 ebike from Marrs Cycles certainly stands out. Its design is less about proper, compact bicycle chic as it is being a hot-rod inspired beast. Described as eager to be the Harley of e-bikes, the M-1 has every right to claim that name!The company was founded by Kacy Marrs, whose influences come from a long history of riding bikes from bmx and motocross to Harleys. His business partner, Brad Fanshaw, formerly ran a company that built one-of-a-kind hot rods. [See & Read More]

Thanks to the lovely affects that aging has on our hair, gray is usually associated with being dull, older, weaker. Not so, in this case. Mode Carbon's matte seal gray on this Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series makes it look younger, more fierce and ready to attack any car that pulls up next to it. The aggressive look also comes from Mode's addition of carbon fiber mirrors, a diffuser, and a trunk spoiler. Ace. [See More]

While many would like to have a Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Edition from the W209 series parked under their garage, the limited numbers it was produced and, of course, its hefty price tag, mean that very few drivers will ever get that opportunity. If you don't mind losing out on the 6.2L AMG V8 that produces 507bhp and 465 lb.ft of torque and the specially tuned chassis, Prior Design has a solution for those who believe that it's all about the looks.

Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo can't exactly be whipping around town in the Pizza Thrower. Shredder and his ugly brutes would be all over them. That's why they should be driving this matte military green, which is actually paint, not a wrap, Ferrari 458 Spider by Platinum Motorsports. You know, because it's such a covert car, and the drop-top protects them from public sight completely. At least they'd be able to pick up a few more girls, instead of having to share April all the time. [See More]

The Rapide was already one of the fastest four-doors around, but if the standard model didn't quite do it for you under the hood, meet the Aston Martin Rapide S ($TBA). Still powered by a 6.0L V12 engine, the S offers 550 hp — 80 more than the prior version — and boasts a 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph. The car also sits 19 mm lower than before, and thanks to a new Adaptive Damping System, can ensure you've got the right suspension setup for the a typical drive, a sporty drive, or the track. Thankfully, however, the sleek body has barely been touched, with a larger single grille and tweaked decklid rounding out the changes.
