Local Motors is a relatively new company specialized on automotive design and technology and its purpose is to create unique and innovative vehicles. A while ago, the company amazed the automotive media with its capableRally Fighter, a sporty off road vehicle powered by a 6.2-liter V-8 that goes head to head with models like the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor.



Luckily the company didn't stop there and its newest project is a custom motorcycle named the Racer.



The new custom bike has a pretty interesting story. To start this project Local Motors organized the Custom Motorcycle Design Challenge with Justin and Jarrod Del Prado of Arizona-based DP Custom Cycles.



The challenge was to invite a wide range of designers to come up with their version of a customized 2000-2003 Harley Davidson Sportster.



More than 2,400 files were submitted for evaluation and the winner was the DP Racer designed by Andre Costa of Portugal.
