A Beloved Japanese Sports Car Finally Returns, But Not How You’d Expect

The Mitsubishi Eclipse is back! But probably not in the way you’d expected. While the Eclipse you likely last remember was one of the Japanese Trident’s most recognized sports cars, this time, it returns as an economic electric vehicle. It actually starts life as a next-gen Nissan Leaf. It then gains Mitsubishi’s stylistic treatment both inside and out, along with other revisions. The Eclipse Sportback arrives as a part of Nissan’s partnership with Mitsubishi. Although the automaker didn’t reveal technical specifics, Mitsubishi says such details will surface closer to the vehicle’s launch later this fall.

Exclusively available on the ST trim, Ford’s new Sinister package has the Explorer SUV don a smattering of shadowy visual touches. As such, beyond some amber running lights and unique ST badging, it also rides on 21-inch gloss-black wheels and comes with blacked-out trim. Despite the monochromatic nature of the package, Ford is willing to pair it with other paint colors. The best part, though, is that it costs just $1,695, as even black roof options were previously expensive items.

It also boasts a 6-in-1 intelligent vision system with auto focus and screen alignment for operating in different rooms and environments.

If you’re an EDC enthusiast looking to up your AirTag game, this is the carabiner for you.

The three material options include the 0.59 ounce  aircraft-grade Duralumin alloy version, the 1.7-ounce untreated Brass option or the stainless steel model, which comes in the heaviest at 2 ounces.

Urwerk bids adieu to one of its most recognizable models with the UR-120 Blue Planet. This wearable spaceship is powered by the familiar in-house Calibre UR-20.01 automatic, with hours displayed on three rotating satellites mounted on triple planetary gears and minutes on a retrograde display. What’s different is the color treatment, with a striking blue PVD coating covering the sandblasted steel case and 24K yellow gold PVD coating on the satellite architecture. The watch is mounted on a blue calf leather strap with a Cordura texture and blue PVD steel pin buckle.

Driven by Jason Momoa’s passion for old Harleys (really old Harleys), this drop-in kit essentially turns century-old bikes such as the 1924 Harley-Davidson Model JD and 1927 Model JD into plug-in hybrids, with an even older 1921 Model FD converted to EV-only power. Fitting into such bikes’ panniers, the kit enables silent, zero-emissions running while adding functionality. An 11kW (15bhp) Maeving hub motor powers the rear wheel, producing 260Nm (190lb-ft) of torque, providing smooth electric performance, plus an easy electric start (in place of a challenging kick start), with a modern disc brake boosting stopping power. You can even switch between the two gas and electric power while riding. “I feel that anyone who rides motorcycles needs to try it,” Momoa raves. “I can have a full conversation with my friend, just going through the mountains… cruising on this old 1920s bike, and totally feeling it’s a 1920s bike. It’s just a really beautiful experience.”
