Awesome Rides

While we’re not big fans of its awkward styling, we have to hand it to the guys at Faraday Future for going balls-out against Tesla by building a 1050 hp family car that can go 0-to-60 in just 2.39 seconds, with a 378-mile driving range, and an array of autonomous driving features.

Mansory takes the already badass G-Wagen and takes it to the next level with a carbon fiber widebody kit with fender flares, door skins, and front and rear bumpers. Cough up enough dough, and they’ll fit the interior with luxurious diamond-quilted leather and carbon fiber trim.

Eric Harrell used his 3D printer to render an accurate, fully-functional scale model of the LS3 V8 engine from a Chevrolet Camaro. It took him over 200 hours to print the finished model. If you’ve got the time, the printer, and the filament, grab the plans from Thingiverse.

With bowl season in full swing and the NFL regular season coming to an end, our friends from Rides & Drives take us on the ultimate football weekend. Join them as they show us how to tailgate Wisconsin-style.

DV Hardware shares this dashcam footage of a road accident in the Netherlands. The video was taken onboard a Tesla Model X, which sensed a sudden deceleration two cars away, then beeped and braked on its own. Fortunately, no one was badly hurt.

LEGO Ideas member Chiho Kim’s proposal for a kit based on the iconic off-roader. The model even comes with a net to secure things at the back as well as emergency cones. Chiho has since updated the model with larger tires, a light bar, fog lamps and a winch.

Death Machines of London bursts onto the scene with one hell of a debut. This overhauled 1981 Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk. II has warning lights and a main switch from a Merlin Spitfire, custom front fairing and tank, and a delugged frame that houses all the electronics.

The latest Lambo V12 monster sees big upgrades to its aerodynamics and suspension, and most notably the addition of 4-wheel steering. Its dozen cylinders pump out 740 horses, launching the yellow beast to 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds, and a top speed of 217 mph.

Australian trailer maker Patriot Campers modifies Toyota GXL Land Cruisers to conquer all conditions. It has an EFS suspension, custom aluminum bodywork with extended chassis and all the drawers and toolboxes that you need.

You might have to travel back in time to 1992 to find a parody of Quantum Leap relevant, but that takes nothing away from Tanner Foust’s mad drifting skills, the insane exhaust notes, and lung-filling dose of tire smoke and dust you’re in store for in the next six minutes.

(PG-13: Language) The husband and wife team behind the Hydraulic Press Channel have branched out to take on more destruction porn of the non-hydraulic kind. Here they are going ham on one of their beat up Fiesta’s brake discs. Skip to 4:16 for the climax.

The Mercedes-AMG GT R is the most hardcore variant of the already monstrous AMG GT, stripping weight, adding power, and upgrading its suspension, brakes and aero for track use. Carfection’s Alex Goy was lucky enough to take this one on the track at the Nürburgring.

Our friends over at Rides & Drives had the rare opportunity to spend a few days behind the wheel of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and lived in the lap of luxury at Georgia’s beautiful Sea Island resort, where they practiced skeet shooting, and picked up a few putting pointers.

The latest edition of Rezvani’s insane, drop-dead sexy carbon fiber Beast has 500 horses, weighs just 1950 lbs, does 0-to-60 in 3.2 seconds, and has cool “Sidewinder” doors which slide forward for easy cabin access.

LEGO’s new BMW R 1200 GS set is boss, but we think this proposal for a 1967 R60/2 has the potential to be even better. Designed by LEGO Ideas member maximecheng03, it’s a tad skinnier than the actual bike, but we’re pretty sure LEGO can easily fix that.

A very special limited-edition Ferrari to celebrate its 50th year in Japan. Based on the 488 Spider, the 680hp J50 has an open top inspired by classic Barchetta racers. We love the black stripe detail reminiscent of the 288 GTO, F40 and F50. Just 10 J50s will be made.

With May, Hammond, and Clarkson gone, we’d much rather watch The Grand Tour than the new Top Gear, but we just had to share this extended footage in which Ken Block tore up the streets of London with his 1400 hp Hoonicorn Mustang, with Matt LeBlanc riding shotgun.

An all-wheel drive version of Dodge’s hulking sports coupe. While its 305 hp V6 isn’t exactly a Hellcat engine, it should offer plenty of thrills, and an opportunity to enjoy one of America’s great muscle cars in the snow without just being stuck doing donuts.

Our friends at Rides & Drives head to Northern Wisconsin and tell a tale of big fish, cold beer, Hawg Wobblers, supper clubs, and the 2016 Nissan Titan XD. If you’ve ever thought of taking a fishing trip to the northwoods, you might want to read this first!

A fun time-lapse video for gearheads, as the lovely Giovanna Parascandolo takes a fully disassembled engine from a 1967 Fiat 500 F and reassembles it. She says it took her about two full days to complete the task, but it’s been digested down to just under 4 minutes.

Lexus and Vevo collaborated to build this awesome version of its IS sports sedan, wrapped in 41,999 colorful LEDs. It can display images and animations, and can respond to gestures or music. It appears in the music video for Be the One from UK musician Dua Lipa.

Cadillac returns to prototype endurance racing in spectacular fashion, with a 600 hp V8 track beast inspired by the CTS-V. It rocks sleek aerodynamics, the requisite racing gear, and weighs just 2,050 pounds. Debuts at the Rolex 24 race in Daytona on January 28-29, 2017.

YouTuber ChrisFix teaches us how to look for a parts car – a cheap vehicle that you’re going to strip for parts for your existing cars. You’re going to have to do a fair amount of research, but it could save you a lot of money.
