Custom

A leading name in custom camper vans, Outside Van developed one of its latest customs with a different purpose in mind. The Next Gen van is a prototype designed to optimize and centralize weight, using new strategies and experimental components, all without skimping on comfort or features.

Six-wheeled vehicles aren't new, but they're certainly eye-catching. We've seen a few 6x6 versions of already impressive 4x4s over the years, but there's always room for more. Now Hennessey Performance has finally released its Goliath 6x6 (based on the 2019 Chevy Silverado) and it's a beast.

Porsche is opening up a whole new world of personalization options with its Second Skin service, which lets you choose a design wrap for your car through an online configurator, for somewhere between €4,000-6,000 (US$4,500-6,800). Oh, and it's not just for Porsches.

​YouTuber Steve Terreberry has taken delivery of what he's calling the most metal guitar ever, a 20 string monster that takes the Djent battle straight to Jared Dines, who had an 18 string beast presented to him by Ormesby Guitars at NAMM 2018.​

We've seen many custom motorcycles made out of the BMW R NineT, but we've never seen one remotely like this. It's either a hideous futuristic deformity, or the ultimate artistic expression of BMW's design ethos, and we're not sure if we love it, hate it or hate to love it.

Does the absence of a pretty motor ruin your chances of building an attractive electric custom bike? Not if this Zero XU from Colt Wrangler is any example. Old school flat tracker lines somehow work with the Zero's boxy battery and frame.

This funky custom motorcycle is built on the crazy foundation of Yamaha's 1993 GTS1000, with its hub-steered front wheel on a single-sided swingarm. The GTS was a beefy, overweight tourer, but JSK Moto has transformed it into a svelte roadster with a crouching robot puma stance.

​This nifty neo-futuristic cafe racer, with its bullet fairing and custom bodywork, is part of Yamaha's global push to promote the customizable nature of its XSR900 cafe racer. The "Type 11 Prototype 2" by the UK's Auto Fabrica will go on sale in limited numbers this weekend in London.

A Turkish custom motorcycle shop has put together a quick bolt-on body kit that turns a standard Yamaha MT03 or MT25 into a pretty unique looking neo-retro-cafe racer thing. The Janus body kit looks kind of cool, and it's an easy, cheapish way to get yourself a very distinctive ride.

If the goal of building a custom motorcycle is to create something unique, then “Jack Watkins” (not his real name), of Poland, can tick that box. A hub-steered head-scratcher with a Beemer Boxer motor and laser-cut sheet steel frame, the Watkins M001 is an epic engineering curiosity.

Britain’s Lister Motor Company has rolled out its latest Jaguar-based sportscar​, the Thunder. Touted as the most powerful, and most luxurious road car in Lister's 65-year history​, it is based on the Jaguar F-Type and boasts that car's supercharged V8 and a bespoke exterior and interior.

Steeda is the largest privately-owned Ford tuning specialist in the world, and over the past 30 years has supplied performance parts and upgrades for vehicles out of its headquarters in Florida. Steeda recently debuted its first turnkey V8 Mustang for Europe, called the Q500 Enforcer.
