Late last week, Jeep officially revealed the all-new 2026 Recon, an all-electric SUV designed to transport its owner through dirt, bouncing over boulders, and splashing over streams without breaking a sweat. Production begins early next year at their Toluca plant in Mexico, with delivery to buyers in the United States and Canada starting in early 2026.
Diorama111 has spent years bringing life to the plastic tiny worlds he designs. With him behind the wheel, a simple plastic shell is transformed into something that moves, turns, and even blinks back at you in an unsettling way. His most recent achievement transforms the 1/64 scale Suzuki Carry truck, an homage to Japan’s minuscule Kei automobiles, into a fully functional remote-controlled vehicle. This little hauler, only 53mm long and 23mm wide, packs an incredible amount of motor, steering, and lighting into a body roughly the size of a sugar packet.
Evening falls in Houston, and with it comes word of a ghost from the golden period of Japanese engineering: a 1995 Honda NSX-R, chassis # NA1-1300340, which is now listed on BaT. This right-hand drive coupe, number 458 in a small batch of only 483 produced for the domestic market, has recently arrived in the United States, still with 19,000 kilometers on the clock.
Zero just revealed something new from its California garage, a machine that can slice through downtown traffic without a single drop of gas. Unveiled at EICMA 2025 in Milan, the LS1 electric scooter is Zero’s entry into a world where two wheels means quick escapes and even quicker savings.
Expedition trucks typically start as military surplus, but few end up feeling like mobile hotel suites. The Maniac takes that concept to the next level, with a MAN-KAT truck, one of those old German army beasts designed to move goods over mud and mountains. Turkish contractors at Sya Mobil spent nearly two years converting it into a people mover before delivering it to the Atik family in 2023. What they got was a 4×4 home on wheels that sleeps four but shines as a couple’s escape pod, with 215 square feet of living space in a shell that can withstand tough terrain.
Motorcycles have a way of pushing the limits and Honda just showed the crowd why they’re at the forefront. They unveiled the V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype at EICMA 2025 in Milan, an incredible machine which takes their signature V3 engine and teams it up with an electric compressor. This isn’t some far-fetched fantasy of the future; Honda engineers have been experimenting with the concept since last year’s show, wow everyone with a bare engine before revealing the finished product. If you’re one of those riders who craves quick torque, the kind that gets you going from a standstill, this thing has a lot to be thrilled about.
Austin’s evening traffic can be a real pain in the neck, turning a routine errand into an endurance test as you’re stuck in traffic with a slew of other disgruntled drivers. The incessant beeping of horns as people cut through lanes, combined with a short lack in judgment at a merge point, can lead to disaster. That’s the backdrop for Tesla’s latest Full Self-Driving update, 14.1.7, which showed up on a Model Y’s screen last week. Anyone who’s spent hours behind the wheel of a Tesla, watching the software try to learn to read the road like a local, knows the impact this update is going to have.
Bentley has just unveiled a Continental GT that elevates its model lineup to new heights. The Supersports brand has returned for the first time in seven years, and this small number has not only lost a lot of weight, but it has also dropped hybrid technology and all-wheel drive. The end result is the sharpest, most engaging Continental in decades, and just 500 lucky customers will have the opportunity to own one, with the first keys changing hands as early as 2027.
Tesla has turned its showrooms into rental counters and starting this month, anyone in California can walk into select stores, show a driver’s license, provide a credit card, and drive away in a Model 3, Model Y or even a Cybertruck for as little as $60 a day. No mileage limits, free Supercharging and full self driving all included at no extra charge. Is there a catch? You have to return it within a week and can’t cross state lines.
