Ducati sport and super sport bikes often feature in racetrack photos with riders scrapping their knees on high-speed corners, but the Scrambler Ducati lineup has a celebrated tradition of off-road capable bikes that goes back to the early 1960s. Designed with the Rizoma motorcycle accessories company, the Scrambler Ducati 10th Anniversario Rizoma Edition celebrates ten years of modern Scrambler models and emphasizes the individual styling possible with the Scrambler platform.

Rizoma’s specialty accessories and design enhancements emphasize the potential for individual self-expression of Scrambler Ducati riders. Ducati originated the Scramblers in response to demand from American riders for motorcycles that incorporated the performance aspects of European racing motorcycles with the spirit and capabilities of bikes that could be ridden anywhere, including the vast open deserts of the southwest, where scrambler-style motorcycles were popular.

The Scrambler Ducati lineup includes six different expressions of scrambler style, including the Icon, Icon Dark, Nightshift, Full Throttle, 1100 Sport Pro, and now the 10th Anniversario Rizoma Edition.

The Corvette nameplate is the longest-continuously running nameplate in the United States. It has existed for every model year since 1953, with the exception of the 1983 model, which was bypassed due to production issues with the debut of the C4 generation. Chevy's perennial halo car has inspired the hearts, minds, and wallets of many collectors over the years, and from October 10th through the 13th at the WestWorld of Scottsdale, Arizona, Barrett-Jackson will be offering up a dozen cars from the late David Ressler's collection, ten of which are pristine condition Corvettes.

Ginetta reveals track-inspired limited edition Akula supercar for the road

It's been five years since Ginetta revealed a concept for a race-inspired Akula supercar for the road. The production run of 20 vehicles has begun, and Ginetta is taking reservations for the small number of slots still available. A 600-horsepower, naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine powers the Akula like a race car to its maximum 180 mph+ speed. Torque maxes out at 474 lb-ft at 5,100 RPM and can blast the Akula from 0 to 62.2 mph in 2.9 seconds.
Why the Ginetta Akula is important

Ginetta was founded 66 years ago, but in 2004, Dr. Lawrence Tomlinson, a race driver and entrepreneur, bought the company. Tomlinson, who was victories in the 24 hours of Le Mans endurance race in the GT2 class in 2006, was heavily involved in the design and development of the Akula, According to Ginetta, Tomlinson participated in every stage, including track tests. Tomlinson has also claimed production #1 of the ultra-limited run.

Bentley Flying Spur grand touring supercar sedan launches September 10

All the details aren't out yet, but the new Flying Spur will generate its own superlatives

Bentley 2025 Flying Spur tease for high perforrmance hybrid powertrain.

Bentley's history of high-performance luxury cars, such as the Continental GT Speed, is about to get an important entry on September 10th. That's when Bentley will launch the new Flying Spur hybrid grand touring supercar sedan. Describing it is a mouthful, but according to Bentley's launch date announcement, the new Flying Spur will be the most powerful, most efficient, and most dynamic four-door car that Bentley has manufactured in its 105-year history as an automaker.
Why the Bentley Flying Spur is a big deal

Bentley and Rolls-Royce were originally separate companies, but Rolls-Royce purchased Bentley in 1931 during the Great Depression. Although the two brands were similar, Rolls-Royce emphasized luxury while Bentley pursued high performance. If a Rolls-Royce is more likely to be chauffeur-driven, a Bentley owner is a driver who loves speed and wants a luxury car that will blow the doors off almost anything else on the road.
