Awesome Rides

There’s something that’s immensely satisfying about watching how neatly and easily this Plasti Dip spray-on car coating peels off in big sheets when you want to change the color of your car on a whim. The process starts at 1:15, and took about 1/2 hour in real time.

(PG-13 Language) It’s been a while since ICON Motorsports tore up the roads for our enjoyment. ICON riders Ernie and Nick find themselves stuck in a rut, until Officer Dan sends them on a mission to get them back up on their mighty steeds. (Thanks Matt!)

This unusual looking conveyance combines elements of bicycling, skating and scootering in one. Rear-wheel steering enables a tight 2-foot turning radius, and it brakes like a bike. Plus, it’s versatile enough to use for transportation or tricks. Available in three sizes.

The ultimate Explorer is the ultimate road trip vehicle. Packed with goodies like real leather, wood and aluminum, front seats w/heat, cooling, and massage, and a brilliant 500W Sony audio system. Rides smooth and quiet and rocks a 365hp turbo V6 w/ intelligent 4WD.

Audi’s all-electric SUV is slated for release in 2018, and just might give the Tesla Model X a run for its money. Using three powerful motors to produce 496 hp, it can hit 62 mph in 3.5 seconds, 310+ mile range, and can juice to 80% in 15 minutes. Inside, it’s packed with tech.

The most stealthily powerful Chevy ever gets an updated front end with LED accent lighting, functional hood vents, and dual-mode sports exhaust. The most important bit remains unchanged – a 6.2L LS3 V8 that pushes out 415 hp and 415 lb-ft. of torque to its rear wheels.

Lamborghini’s 610hp V10 Huracán LP 610-4 drops its top, letting you air dry your freshly coiffed hairdo at 201 mph. Its electric cloth top can be opened and closed while in motion, and its carbon fiber and aluminum chassis is much stiffer than the Gallardo Spyder’s.

Finland’s StuntFreaksTeam tears up dirt, dust and gravel as they perform burnouts, spins, wheelies, and more on their motorcycles. If that weren’t enough, there’s a drift car that wants in on the action too.

Porsche stomps on Tesla’s hallowed ground, revealing its own all-electric sedan, capable of launching its occupants from 0-to-62mph in 3.5 seconds thanks to a 600hp all-wheel drivetrain. Driving range: ~310 mi, and an 80% charge in 15 minutes… Assuming it ever gets produced.

Jaguar gave their all new F-PACE sports crossover the most dramatic entrance possible, sending it and stunt driver Terry Grant through a massive loop measuring a record-breaking 62.6 feet tall, and exerting nearly 6.5G along the way.

Infento is kind of like an Erector set for wagons, bikes, trikes, and snow sleds. The kid-sized vehicles are constructed from dozens of supplied components using a hex key, letting kids and parents work together to build various new rides.

German tuning outfit Brabus works their magic yet again, this time taking the already incredible Mercedes-AMG GT S, and pushing it to 600hp and 553 lb-ft. of torque, then decking it out with custom carbon fiber aero, 20-21″ forged wheels, and a new titanium exhaust system.

Harley continues to sneak modern tech into the Softail while keeping its classic style. The Softail Slim S has a 1.7L Twin Cam 110B engine that produces up to 109 ft.lb. of torque, an efficient 6-speed transmission and an optional retro army olive and black finish.

The droptop Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce has the same 740 hp 6.5L V12 and 4WD 7-speed transmission that’s in the sold out coupe. It has a two-piece 13lb carbon fiber hardtop and an adjustable rear window. More here.

A 1967 Camper with its original paint, hubcaps and a few interior parts, but improved with modern amenities such as USB charging ports, a Bluetooth stereo system and air conditioning. It runs on a 195 hp Jetta engine with Vanagon transmission.

The new drop-top Rolls offers the ultimate in luxury and performance, wrapping the driver and up to three adult passengers in the most premium of creature comforts – rich leathers, woods and bespoke audio. With a 570hp V12 under the hood it can do 0-to-60 in just 4.9s.

One-man bike shop Paul Miller turned a ’77 TT500 into a beautiful street tracker. He custom made many of the parts, including the beautiful tank and rear brake fluid reservoir. The SR500 wheels should be too big for the bike, but somehow they end up blending in well.

The new Carrera has some visual refinements, like new headlamps and rear deck vents, but the big story is the 420 hp, twin-turbo flat-six in the Carrera S, and the 370 hp version in the base. Add PDK and Sport Chrono to do 0-to-60 in just 3.7s in the S, and 4.0s in the base.

Kim Gehrig directed this wonderful spot for the new Honda HR-V, in which a team of talented steppers move and groove in perfect formation as the vehicle provides a central focus. While the compact crossover is surprisingly spacious, we doubt it really seats 40 though.

French automaker Citroën’s quirky open-top ride for adventurers has woodgrain roll bars that double as storage for surfboards, and cutouts on the side to make it easy to hop into the back seat. The interior is ready for the beach too, with Hawaiian print textiles.

Husqvarna’s new Enduro motorcycles make short work of dirt, mud, rocks and elevated terrain in this extended demo video. The motorcycles feature improved rear shocks, front axles and chromoly frame. Also, we now know how to pronounce “Hooskvarna.”

French automaker Peugeot’s Fractal concept roadster packs a 204hp all-wheel drive electric drivetrain, height-adjustable suspension, and an interior loaded with audio gear that envelops passengers with sound. We’re especially enamored of the exposed carbon fiber.

Some backyard daredevils decided to put to the test the long-held belief that Volvos are some of the safest and most durable cars on the road. Their demolition derby approach is extreme, but the result is unquestionable. This ’94 Volvo 850 appears to be unkillable.
