by MotorTrend 52,635 views
When Noble Automotive stopped production of the M12 and it's hardcore variant the M400, fans of this insanely fast car were disappointed. In 2007 Rossion came to the rescue and purchased the rights to the car. Weighing in at about 2500lbs and fitted with a 450hp Twin Turbo Ford V6, the Rossion Q1 has been known to hang with the fastest of supercars. New to their lineup is the RP120, a stripped down racecar powered by a tuned Ford 2.0L Ecoboost engine.

by MotorTrend 45,808 views
On this week's episode of The Downshift, we catch up with Murph, who set off 3 years ago to ride his BMW R 1150 GS Adventure motorcycle around the world.

Added was a Mobec Duo-Drive 2wd Sidecar for carrying all of his possessions as well as tons of other custom bits to deal with the freezing cold. With his new kit assembled, Murph decided to spend the winter exploring the Arctic Circle.
