LiveWire has launched its Twist & Go promotion, giving riders a limited-time chance to snag major incentives on its entire S2 lineup. Running from August 28 through October 31, 2025, the initiative also comes with new rider-focused features designed to elevate the electric motorcycle experience.

But this isn’t just a quick clearance or flash sale. Spanning more than two months, the promotion feels more like a strategic price reset, signaling LiveWire’s push to make electric motorcycling more accessible while reinforcing its role as an innovator in the segment.

LiveWire’s Twist & Go promotion delivers dramatic price reductions across the S2 lineup, resetting expectations for what an electric motorcycle can cost. The S2 Del Mar, previously listed at $16,249, now starts at $9,999, marking a massive $6,250 drop. The S2 Mulholland falls from $16,499 to $10,999, a savings of $5,500, while the adventure-ready LiveWire S2 Alpinista slides from $15,999 down to $11,999, a $4,000 reduction. These deep cuts place LiveWire’s bikes squarely in reach for a far wider range of riders than ever before.

Unlike a fleeting clearance event, these pricing incentives stretch over two months—running through October 31, 2025, or while inventory lasts. By slashing thousands off the MSRP for an extended period, LiveWire is signaling a deliberate shift in accessibility rather than a short-term sale, positioning the S2 lineup as a new benchmark for value in the electric motorcycle market.

LiveWire is also enhancing the riding experience with two highly requested features delivered via a free software update for all S2 motorcycles. The first is Reverse, which provides controlled backward propulsion to make tight parking spots and tricky maneuvers easier. The second is Roll-Forward Regenerative Braking, enabling riders to engage full regen by rolling the throttle forward—adding convenience while boosting efficiency.

With major price cuts and smart new features, LiveWire is clearly steering its S2 lineup toward greater accessibility and long-term leadership in the electric motorcycle market.

Maserati refreshes its entire lineup for the 2027 model year
A more powerful engine, a new front end, and several features now available as standard
Maserati's 2027 lineup of vehicles

A new face, a luxury touch on everything you interact with, and a not insignificant power boost to one of the most interesting V6 engines on the planet. These are the highlights of Maserati’s 2027 lineup. Though it’s technically a bit of a mid-cycle refresh, no new vehicles are being released, there are still some notable differences between the upcoming Maseratis and their 2026 equivalents. It’s Maserati’s biggest string of updates since last year’s MCPura launch, with several supercar-inspired tweaks making their way to the likes of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio.

The Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio both benefit from an extra 40 horsepower, with the 3-liter V6 Nettuno engine under the hood now pumping out 582 horsepower at its peak. Overall responsiveness of the engine and transmission has been improved too, due to an updated calibration, and the sound-boosting Sportivo exhaust now comes as standard with all ICE Maseratis. Both vehicles, along with the Folgore, also come with a more aggressive front end. The reworked air intakes arguably stand out most on the new fascia, though the large front splitter and “shark nose” styling are both very apparent.

Antonelli proves to be human after all as Hamilton takes the win in Barcelona
Hamilton leads an all British F1 podium on Sunday
Auto Racing, Car, Formula One

If you woke up early enough today, you may have been able to catch the Formula 1 Grand Prix that took place in Barcelona today. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is another special entrance into the Formula 1 race schedule for 2026 because, while being in a wonderfully picturesque location, it has been a part of the circuit for three decades. Now, while this is the first year it carries the name of The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, it has been home to a slew of special moments and has landed two big moments yet again this year. First things first, Lewis Hamilton took home his first win on the track. It was his first win in two years, and it did a lot to help Ferrari cut into Mercedes' lead in the standings by ending their win streak. Today also finally brought youngster Kimi Antonelli down to Earth as he failed to finish, along with six other drivers. Antonelli's teammate, George Russell, was able to put Mercedes on the podium, which brings me to the second important thing taking place in today's race. With McLaren's Lando Norris taking third place, the trio of Hamilton, Russell, and Norris gives us the first all-British podium since 1968.
