LiveWire is now listed on the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the first publicly-traded electric motorcycle manufacturer in the U.S. The S2 Del Mar features the company’s proprietary ARROW architecture, exclusively designed at LiveWire Labs in Mountain View, California and the Product Development Center in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Reservations for the S2 Del Mar open today, following the bell’s ring at the NYSE in Manhattan’s Financial District.
The S2 Del Mar aims to deepen riders’ experiences with the world around them. Built for agility, the S2 Del Mar invites modern-day adventurers to champion offerings in the electric bike division as contemporary modes of transport. The e-motorcycle will be available in three colors at the time of its release — Nimbus Gray, Nightfall Blue, and Asphalt Black — and will retail at an MSRP of $16,999 USD once available for purchase. The S2 Del Mar is distinguished for its look, sound and feel, boasting a scalable, modular system slated to inform LiveWire’s growing portfolio.
In celebration of the company’s listing, LiveWire is hosting a pop-up today and tomorrow at Studio 525 in Chelsea previewing the new bike collection alongside artwork by Eric Haze. The event is open to the public on the 28 and will run from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
LiveWire is separating as an individual subsidiary of Harley-Davidson. The company’s first electric motorcycle model, the LiveWire ONE, revved into the future with a 3-second acceleration rate of 0-60-mph, a keyless transponder and 120-volt current in household and commercial charging units. The S2 Del Mar builds upon LiveWire ONE’s design codes while doubling down on ARROW architecture with proprietary battery, motor, charging and control systems.
The initial launch edition of the S2 Del Mar sold out this past May in 18 minutes. Today marks the next official production launch when the motorcycle will be available to reserve on LiveWire’s website. Stay tuned on Hypebeast for in-depth specs on the S2 Del Mar.
Back in 2019, Mercedes-Benz sent a jolt through the automotive industry when they announced that they were working on a zero-emission version of their G-Class SUV dubbed the EQG. Now, CEO Ola Källenius has provided more info on when, exactly the electric G-Class would become available to the general public. Per a report from Autoblog, Källenius told members of the media that the special vehicle should be brought to market by the end of 2024.
Mercedes-Benz provided a close-up look at a concept version of the EQG back in 2021 — originally announcing that it would be available in 2025 — and Källenius reported that an early prototype he’d tested at Mercedes-Benz’s G-Class testing grounds in Graz, Austria was more than up to snuff. “From now on, going off-road is electric,” he told reporters. Mercedes-Benz also plans to make its fleet of vehicles fully electric by 2030.
Currently, an exact date of arrival and pricing information for the Mercedes-Benz EQG has yet to be revealed. After all, it’s a full two years away. However, more info on the powerful electric SUV is likely to surface soon.
While you wait for more info on the Mercedes-Benz EQG, be sure to take a look at Ferrari’s first SUV, the 715-horsepower Purosangue.
The first Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 yacht for North America has just been delivered in Miami. Brought in by Prestige Marine — one of the most successful luxury automotive dealers since the ’80s — the $3.5 million USD is just one of 63 being made globally to commemorate the founding year of Lamborghini Automobili.
The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 Yacht is a specially commissioned design by the Italian Sea Group, where both names share headquarters and production facilities in Northern Italy. Giving us exclusive access to the dock arrival and delivery of the powerboat, Brett David, CEO of Prestige Marine comments, “The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 is one of the most unique yachts in the world with its uncompromising design, performance, and handling. 1963 is the founding year of Lamborghini, so that number appears throughout. And with that, we have a 63-foot boat that has a top speed of 63 knots, a total number only 63 being built, all paying homage to Lamborghini’s original starting date of 1963.”
Borrowing the aggressive design cues from the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37, the yacht sees a number of carbon fiber accents and angular lines. Powering the vessel is a pair of powerful MAN V12 2,000-horsepower engines. Other design details include hexagonal shapes and sharp-cornered ends, Y-shaped headlights, and a supercar-inspired hard top. Everything from start to finish is custom to the client where this one delivered came in a silver color and was priced closer to the $4 million USD mark.
Explaining a bit more about how one orders such a boat, David continues, “The customer experience that Prestige Imports offers is a different experience from purchasing any type of car or jewelry because we help clients create the complex build throughout its entire life cycle until the vessel is fully complete. We provide our customers the opportunity to join our team in Italy to go over every detail of the vessel from drafting initial designs, color swatching, and configurations to everything that makes this boat so special. For decades, Prestige Imports has sold the Lamborghini brand here in Miami and South Florida. We are honored to welcome the first custom Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 here to North America.”
Check out the exclusive photos above to see what takes place in the delivery of such a luxurious boat.
