Presented by LOKI Basecamp – LOKI Basecamp, maker of premier four-season pods that transform a stock pickup truck into the ultimate adventure vehicle, is proud to release its second model, the Icarus, into the wild. 

The new slide-in camper retains the same four-season capabilities and all the basic comforts and functions of the Falcon but condenses it into a smaller, and lighter package that’s more agile and easier to drive while overlanding. The modular interior design is carried over from the Falcon, allowing users to customize the interior to suit their needs, be it sports, leisure, or field office.

“We designed the Icarus with a philosophy of no compromises” said founder and CEO Pierre-Mathieu Roy. “We wanted a four-season unit that was light enough for easy driving both on and off-road, and it needed to be strong enough to carry all of our outdoor toys on the exterior rack system” continued Roy.

The reengineered and reinforced fiberglass shell adds the structural support requested by Roy and it boasts R16 insulation, making it suitable for use in all four seasons. A Webasto Heating Unit supplies hot air and water, and A/C is powered by a 12v air conditioner. A 2,000-watt inverter is up to the task of charging the onboard 300ah to 600ah Lithium battery bank, and rooftop solar panels can supply up to an additional 300w of energy. The Icarus also boasts an on-board water pump, a 15-gallon fresh water tank and 13-gallon grey water tank. The exterior is adorned with an up to 48,000 Lumen light bar on the front, and utility LED lights on the sides and rear as well as a retractable awning. Like the Falcon, the Icarus also has a modular exterior rack system that can be configured to carry a wide range of sporting goods.

The interior has room for a full bed over the cab, hidden storage for a portable toilet, and a multi-function seating and table area that can be reconfigured to make room for an additional bed. The kitchenette features a stainless-steel sink and a mobile induction cooktop. Remaining interior space is dedicated to a mudroom with a mobile shower. That precious real estate can also be used to hang wet clothing or for additional seating.

Later this year it will be possible to add a Red Tail Overland structure on the roof of the Icarus, transforming it into a penthouse with a full 4 season bed.

The Icarus is available in two models: the Icarus 6 will fit trucks with 6.5-foot beds and the Icarus 8 is for larger trucks with 8-foot beds. Prices start at $69,000, with many custom options available. LOKI Basecamp is currently accepting pre-orders with a $5,000 deposit through its website at www.lokibasecamp.com. Once finished, the Icarus will be hand-delivered and installed for customers in North America.

Incredible power with seating for 7

Family haulers keep getting bigger, yet relying on the same engines launched a decade ago. While Ford is hooked on their EcoBoost V6, and Cadillac continues running detuned Corvette engines, John Hennessey and his team have built the first Hennessey Mammoth 1000 SUV. This elegant machine combines the best aspects of the Durango Hellcat and the Ram TRX.

Because Hennessey has over a decade in building late-model Hemi power, you will have 1,012 horsepower and 969 lb-ft of torque. Due to the extensive engine revisions and the need to build a chassis capable of the power, only 20 examples will be offered. Each will arrive with the ability to reach 60 mph in 3.2 seconds with an all-inclusive price of $375,000.

Mr. Hennessey said: “I have a big family with five kids and have always enjoyed owing big, powerful SUV’s. In 2012 we converted the first-generation Ford Raptor into our VelociRaptor SUV – I still own one today and love it. Now, we are excited to offer something very similar, but with a lot more horsepower, using the new Ram TRX truck as our base vehicle. Creating this king of SUVs offers our customers the ultimate combination of space, power and exclusivity.”

Buy it, drive it, race it, and show it…Just don’t call it a Porsche. The new Ruf RCT Evo is the ultimate 964, and that is how it shall be known. Alois Ruf and his family have built incredible interpretations of Stuttgart’s supercars since 1975.

RUF: Love at the Redline

To show the world a gorgeous combination of the latest technology with classic lines, they took a page from the past. The first RCT was and is a very collectible 964. Referring to the 911 body from 1989 to ’94, they were made popular in the U.S. by the world’s greatest car magazine.

Buyers can choose from narrow or wide bodies, in steel or fully carbon fiber. Their enhancements to the 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six have become a standard for the industry, so its onboard for an encore performance. The latest in suspension, brakes, and safety have been combined with connectivity and even wireless phone charging. Everything inside (even the roll cage) is covered in hand-stitched hides in whatever color your heart desires.

Available in left or right-hand drive, you will have 425 horsepower, 420 lb-ft of torque, and a top speed of 199 mph. We knew the RCT was decades ahead of its time when it made our pages in 1993. Alois might have a few more grey hairs, but his wife Estonia and their family are still building the cars we want to drive.
