Basem Wasef’s car and motorcycle reportage has taken him from the Finland to Tierra del Fuego in search of the exotic, and along the way he’s authored three books, the latest of which is Speed Read: Supercar. He also produces video content, consults in the luxury space, and contributes to Robb Report, Car & Driver, and Forbes Wheels, among others. While his work gravitates toward high horsepower and ultraluxury vehicles, Wasef’s personal stash is quirkier, ranging from a 1963 Land Rover Series IIA to two 90s-era big-body Mercedes-Benzes. When he’s not traveling the world in search of latest/greatest, he enjoys life in Pasadena, California with his wife, son, and Italian Greyhound. Follow him on Instagram at @BasemWasef.
