Ducati-Diavel-Cromo

Ducati Diavel Cromo

Ducati’s design team in Bologna was challenged to create their dream motorcycle. The Ducati Diavel Cromo (translation: chrome devil) is what they envisioned.

More of a statement maker than the Monster Diesel Edition we covered last month, the Diavel Cromo features a chromium-plated tank, gloss black body, horizontal seat stitching, a silver pin-stripe running down the front fender, the word “Cromo” laser-engraved into the air-duct panels, and new custom 14-spoke, 17-inch machined wheels.

Rest assured, you’ll still be getting all of the same performance and technology coming from the standard Diavel, including a 162hp Testastretta 11 engine, Ride-by-Wire throttle system, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Riding Modes, ABS and hands-free ignition.

Lamborghini Urus

Lamborghini Urus

Need a vehicle that will fit the entire family inside, and still leave the average sports car in the dust? The Lamborghini Urus – an SUV to be unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show in a few days – is it.

While the official details are still under wraps, reports say the Urus will run on a 5.2-liter V10 with 584 horsepower. And it’s likely to share its platform with the next-generation Porsche Cayenne.

Even with the lack of information, you have to admit an SUV from Lamborghini is intriguing.

2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

G-Class fanatics will be happy to hear that the exterior isn’t changing much for 2013, aside from LEDs underneath the headlights and new side mirrors.

They’ll be even happier to learn of the upgrades including radar-based cruise control, Blind Spot Assist, Parktronic, reworked ESP (to work with trailers), and an all new dash and console.

Yet, the power junkies won’t be satisfied with anything less than, well… more power. Which is why the G65 will come loaded with a 612-horsepower, 738-pound-foot twin-turbo V12 taken from the SL65 AMG.

Unfortunately for those of us in the U.S., the G65 won’t be available in the states… but surely the 544-hp, twin-turbo V8 G63 will suffice.

Knight XV

Knight XV

The end of the world is approaching fast and if you’ve ever watched an episode of Doomsday Preppers, you know you need some serious gear to get you through the crazies who will be taking over the streets.

Why not start with the Knight XV, an ultra-luxurious, handcrafted fully armored SUV? Inspired by military vehicle designs and limited to 100, the bio-fuel powered Knight XV comes loaded with a 6.8 litre V10. Additional features include:

  • 6-passenger seating on handmade Andrew Muirhead leather
  • Wilton Wool carpeting
  • Personal side-mounted laptop stations in the back seats
  • Alpine radio, CD, DVD, navigation and BlueTooth systems
  • Dual screen rear console
  • 22.5″ custom 6061 aluminum rims

  • Ballistic fiberglass bumpers and fenders
  • Front- and rear-mounted night vision cameras
  • Securilok anti-theft system
  • Bullet-proof body and windows
  • Firewall between the engine and passenger compartment

And if you need upgrades, be sure to grab yourself the wet bar, external listening device, roof-mounted search spotlight, and external smoke-releasing security system.

BMW i8 Spyder

BMW i8 Spyder

Could this beauty be what the future holds for the automotive industry? We sure hope so.

For starters, the BMW i8 Spyder sports a 131 hp electric motor pushing the front wheels while a 223 hp turbocharged gas three-cylinder powers the rear. This unique combination allows for front-wheel, rear-wheel, or all-wheel drive – your choice. Efficiency is an understatement, boasting 78 mpg, and speed is plentiful, clocking 0-62 mph in five seconds with a top speed of 155 mph.

Throw in a two-section folding roof, upward-opening doors, and two electric scooters under the rear glass panel… then you’ve got yourself a machine. Even if it is still just a concept.

Ducati Monster Diesel Edition

Ducati Monster Diesel Edition

Two iconic brands, Ducati and Diesel come together to bring you the Ducati Monster Diesel Edition.

The bike starts with Ducati’s Monster 1100EVO and comes with the standard black Trellis frame, wheels and engine covers. But here’s where it gets interesting. The Monster Diesel Edition features an exclusive ‘Diesel Brave Green matte’ military-style paint job, Diesel-label seat, leather passenger seat cover, front brake callipers finished in bright yellow, new exhaust system heat shields and personalized nameplates.

And the bike isn’t the only thing you’ll be rocking from this collaboration. The brands also announced a Diesel-designed Ducati capsule collection that includes slim-fit biker jackets, shirts, jeans, belts and bags for men.

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

Ferrari anyone? How about the fastest Ferrari ever built? Yes please!

The all new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta comes loaded with a v12 pushing out 740 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque using an F1 dual-clutch transmission. 0-60 in 3 seconds, 0-100 in 8.4 seconds, and a top speed of over 210 mph. The car is being built to compete with the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador, so don’t expect any shortcuts here.

Oh and, it looks pretty nice f…ing awesome too.

Shaw Speed & Custom XL1200R

Shaw Speed & Custom XL1200R

Need a sweet custom bike on a recession-like budget? The Shaw Speed & Custom XL1200R is about as good as it gets.

Using a 2006 Harley Sportster XLR1200R, they lowered the bike, remounted the headlight, modified the tank with ribs, satin powedercoated the wheels, and added a black spring mounted solo seat, and bespoke rear fender and handlebar.

The result? A unique ride that will turn heads everywhere you go. And the cost? Just $13,500.

Honda NC700X

Honda NC700X

When a certain inStash writer was a little boy growing up in the Eighties, he partnered with his slightly older brother to come up with a hyper-violent Saturday morning cartoon called “Superbike.” Little did said inStash writer know, that too awesome-to-be-real bike would one day become the Honda NC700X. While it can’t go at the implausible speed of 1,250 miles per hour the way my awesome fictional bike could, it does have a hefty 117 horsepower with 60+ miles per gallon of fuel efficiency. Take that, foreign oil!

Plus, the black-and-silver body and on-board LCD technology is a welcome dose of Knight Rider-on-two-wheels, don’t ya think? Now if we could just convince the folks at Honda to slap on a sidecar like the Abnormal Cycles Union, we’d be set.

WHY Wally-Hermes Yacht

WHY | Wally-Hermes Yacht

In case the photo didn’t give it away, the WHY (Wally-Hermes Yacht) is the epitome of excess. WHY is a new company from the collective minds of french luxury brand, Hermes, and yacht-maker out of Monaco, Wally. They didn’t want to just create yet another luxury yacht, they wanted to create a moving island that combined the convenience of a boat with the size and sustainability of, well, an island.

Not only is it a behemoth as far size is concerned, but the WHY also has little negative effect on the ocean as it recycles thermal energy along with organic and inorganic wastes. Our favorite feature? When the boat is anchored it creates a calm, flat surface of water behind it that you can use as an olympic-sized pool.
