Automobile customizers Bündnerbike teamed up with Swiss watchmaker Bucherer for a bespoke Harley-Davidson, which wound up being the priciest motorcycle on the market. Dubbed “Blue Edition,” the customized ride is the priciest of its kind on the planet, weighing in at an eye-popping $1.79 million USD.
Several factors lead to the inflated price tag, including the six layers of iridescent blue paint, gold-plated screws and 360 diamonds applied to the silver-plated body. Handmade detailing covers the bike, which includes hand grips draped in Bucherer jewelry, and a 5.40-carat diamond tucked inside an armored glass dome.
An assortment of exclusive timepieces are available alongside the motorcycle on Bucherer’s site, offered at much more reasonable pricepoints
Coveted Mercedes-Benz tuner BRABUS is back with another take on the G-Class — this time emphasizing on off-road capabilities rather than speed. Looking like something straight from a Batman movie, the BRABUS Adventure 4×4² works off the Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×4², and adds an additional page worth of custom parts and modifications to the already beefed-up model.
The Adventure 4×4² comes with BRABUS components like forged one-piece Monoblock HD wheels, a large protection bar, cable winch, roof rack, branch deflector, LED searchlights, custom Grigio Telesto paint, a spare wheel carrier, a valve-controlled exhaust system, and an assortment of interior upgrades. The suspension department is also another area that was extensively looked at, with electronic damping force controls, 8x special shocks with custom spring rates, and 15% larger spring accumulator to avoid cavitation.
Priced at €540,242 EUR (approximately $640,000 USD), head on over to the BRABUS’s website for more information.
During the 2018 SMMT Test Day, Honda unveiled one of the year’s most unconventional concepts. Built from a pre-production version of the Civic Type R, this pickup truck concept swapped the hot hatch’s C-pillars and roof for a roll bar, stripping the rear seats and trunk to make space for the open bed. Now a two-seater, the concept truck retains base Civic Type R functionality, which includes a top speed of about 165 mph and a 0-60 mph time of roughly six seconds. The original body kit is still intact, finished in unmistakable “Rallye Red.”
Naturally, the Civic Type R pickup isn’t scheduled to hit production.
