ð¥ Supreme Works with Ducati on Collaborative Streetfighter V4 S TLDR: Supreme is going big for Spring/Summer 2024, working with legendary motorcycling brand Ducati for a collab superbike.â â Why It Matters: Leave it to Supreme to create something truly incredible for its "accessories" line of releases, this time around on a Ducati Streetfighter V4 S. The bike alone is already a monster – 208 horsepower Desmosedici Stradale engine, 13,000 rpm red line and channeled throughout a 392 lb. unit weight. The collaboration is fairly expected but executed right, with an enlarged Supreme box logo wrapping around the frame, at the front and rear wheel covers, and even in the barrels of the wheels. â There's also a collaborative Corsair-X helmet with Arai in the SS24 drop. The DOT and SNELL certified, triple collabo head piece follows the same white/red color scheme as the bike, but also features a playful rider graphic on the rear.â â Read the full article [here](. ---------------------------------------------------------------
âð Mercedes-Benz Unveils G 550 "Stronger Than Diamonds" Edition TLDR: Mercedes-Benz has just shown off official imagery of its "STRONGER THAN DIAMONDS" edition G550. As the name suggests, the limited-to-300 car has actual diamonds in its production.â â Why It Matters: Caveat: the diamonds are only located in the locking pins for each of the four doors. Nevertheless, each precious stone set in the stainless steel pins measure .25 carat in weight and, according to Mercedes-Benz and the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC), are ethically, ecologically, and locally sourced.â The rest of the vehicle is far from standard as well. The exterior is clad in MANUFAKTUR Rosewood Grey Magno paint, offset by a two-toned roof and matching black wheels. STRONGER THAN DIAMONDS branding is also found in the illuminated door sills, front passenger grab handle, key fob and more. Rose contrast stitching and deep pile floor mats extend the luxury angle even more for this highly limited model.â Read the full article [here](. ---------------------------------------------------------------
