Awesome Rides

Based on the imposing Nissan TITAN XD, the TITAN Warrior raises the stakes by raising its height almost 3″, and its width by 6″. It rocks ginormous 37″ tall off-road tires on 18″ wheels. Terrain crushing ability aside, its sculpted front end and sporty interior look just awesome.

A production version of the LF-LC concept coupe, the rear-wheel drive Lexus LC 500 packs a 467 hp V8, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and a bold and luxurious design inside and out. Its dynamic, athletic styling is the pinnacle of Lexus’ recent design renaissance.

Buick kicked off the 2016 North American International Auto Show with a stunning coupe. The Avista Concept represents the company’s vision for a modern grand tourer. It has a 3L 400hp twin-turbocharged V6 and 8-speed transmission, and rides on huge 20″ wheels.

Deus Ex Machina’s new Japan branch turned a 1961 Honda Super Cub – the Beetle of motorcycles – into a race-ready machine. Aside from increasing the engine’s output by 20%, the shop also custom made parts such as the monocoque body and adjustable race shocks.

Chinese drone maker Ehang is working on an octocopter that can carry a person. In theory, you won’t need a license to ride the 184 because it pilots itself. It has a maximum altitude of about 1200ft., goes up to 60mph and lasts 23 min. per charge. Skip to 3:50.

The Centinel Wheel is an affordable way to add motorized pedal assistance to normal bicycles. Its waterproof spokes house a pair of 180W motors and a battery. Maker Hycore is working on a wireless throttle that will let you ride without pedaling.

A glimpse at your grandchildren’s Microbus. The BUDD-e recognizes gestures and voice commands, integrates with home automation systems, and has large touchscreens for information and entertainment. It has a range of 373mi and goes up to 93mph.

The FFZERO1 Concept is a glimpse into the future of race cars. Powered by four electric motors generating over 1000 hp, a lightweight, highly aerodynamic carbon fiber shell, and a high-tech interior with augmented reality displays, and a NASA-inspired pilot’s seat.

Footage of a drop-top Nissan Murano sporting a set of insane 34″ Amani forged wheels. The proportions of the Murano convertible were already wacky, and adding these crazy rims just make it more so. Also, we wouldn’t want to drive it faster than 20 mph.

While we’re still waiting for a Mazdaspeed variant of the MX-5, we’ve got the RS Racing Concept, a beautifully blacked-out Miata, rocking sport aero with red accents, Recaro seats, performance brakes, height-adjustable suspension, and performance chassis tweaks.

A beautifully simple cargo rack for bicycles. Bent Basket is made from 5-ply ash wood veneer and has removable elastic straps to suit your needs. It mounts on most front and rear racks and comes with mounting hardware.

“I think when it’s done it’s gonna be amazing. Roadkill amazing anyway.” The clinically insane folks at Roadkill spent only 5 days haphazardly making a circle track car street legal by giving it a 1970 Monte Carlo’s body. Behold, the NASCarlo. Will When will it break down?

Motorhead magazine’s second parade at Japan’s famous drifting spot features Lotus and Benetton Formula One racers, a Toyota GT84, an Evora 400 and of course a handful of Nissan GT-R R35s. We think last year’s video was better, but we really can’t complain.

The reviews are in – the new Honda Africa Twin is a worthy successor to its predecessor and its Dakar Rally roots. The CRF1000L has a 998cc parallel twin motors, 6-speed manual or DCT transmission, ABS and adjustable torque control.

Fresh from the factory, a Mazda MX-5 Miata comes with just North of 100 hp. But drift racer Mad Mike Whiddett outfitted his “RADBUL” Miata with a 1500 hp twin-turbo rotary engine. While the stock MX-5 hugs corners, the RADBUL scorches them instead.

Legacy Classic Trucks founder Winslow Bent graced Jay Leno’s Garage with one of their restorations. It’s a Dodge WC63 military transport truck that’s been reborn into an undying tank for when the boss wants to role-play as a working man.

Toyota and Yamaha’s revolutionary collaboration let the rest of the world know that Japan could make great sports cars too. This particular unit is in original condition save for its aftermarket AC unit. It will be auctioned off on 1/28/16 by RM Sotheby’s.

Instead of a chin strap, the RS 1 motorcycle helmet has an adjustable chin cup and splits into two so you can easily put it on or take it off. Its snug fit means it won’t be jostled around by strong winds or thrown off your head in case of a collision.

When we think of picking a car to drive in the snow, a Lamborghini isn’t exactly our first choice. But The Stradman’s video shows us just how much fun can be had in the winter with his all-wheel driver Gallardo, as he makes some delicious powdered donuts with his supercar.

Wisconsin-based auto shop SpeedKore shows off its talent with this evil hot rod. The Tantrum has a mind-boggling 1650hp 9L Mercury Racing twin-turbo V8, custom carbon fiber body kit and one of the best paint jobs we’ve ever seen.

Kuberg’s new electric motorcycle is designed to be easy enough for teens to ride but fun for adults as well. It weighs 79lb. and goes up to 34mph. Its battery lasts up to 1h per charge. The optional dongle and app let you record stats and limit torque and speed.

We were very fortunate to get the opportunity to drive the awesome new 467 hp Lexus GS F sport sedan, but our ride-along with racing expert Scott Pruett was the real highlight of our visit to California’s Chuckwalla Raceway, an off-the-beaten-path track that’s worth a visit.

The baby Huracán is rear-wheel drive and “only” has 580hp and 400lb.ft. of torque, but it’s also much lighter and more affordable. It’s by no means a lesser supercar – early reviews say it’s more fun to drive than the understeering LP 610-4.
