Awesome Rides

The car for jaded purists. The Caterham Seven 620 R weighs just 1200lb, but its supercharged 2L Ford Duratec engine produces up to 310hp and 219lbft of torque, propelling it from full stop to 60mph in just 2.8s. In first gear.

Kia has been on a roll with its concept designs lately, and the sleek Sportspace is no exception. We don’t have specs yet on the car, but it certainly looks better than most other station wagons. And those wheels are just stellar.

The Vantage GT3 is 220lb lighter than the V12 Vantage S, thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber, magnesium and titanium. Its 6L V12 engine makes up to 592bhp and 461 lb-ft of torque. Goes from 0 to 60mph in 3.5s and tops out at 185mph.

The Autobiography is about as special an SUV as you can buy. Loaded with rich, hand-selected leather, a 29-speaker Meridian sound system, air suspension, and a 510hp supercharged V8 to launch it from 0-to-60 in 5.1secs.

Team ICON RAIDEN rides across 1,000mi. of Mexican desert on modded Triumph Tiger 800xc street bikes. While they provide an advantage on smooth roads, the brutal off-road stretches push the bikes and riders to their limits. (Thanks Matt!)

Sure, it’s a shameless plug for Famous Footwear, but that doesn’t make the sight of Shauna Duggins taking the kids for the ride of their lives in 550hp RWD minivan any less awesome. Parents, don’t try this at home. (Thanks Spencer!)

In 1999, Will Radford and his friends pooled their money and bought a used 1957 Series 1 Land Rover. They had a lot of good times with it but were unable to maintain their beloved car, so they sold it last year. Guess who bought it.

Jerome Daksiewicz of NOMO Design created these posters which commemorate iconic facades of car models throughout the years. His initial designs include Ford, GM and BMW vehicles, but we hope he creates others down the road.

The Trail’ster gives the Soul more oomph, with a 185hp 1.6L turbo 4-banger up front, and a 35hp electric motor in back, giving the quirky little vehicle AWD traction. It’s also been lifted nearly 3″ and bestowed with a rugged body kit.

In an attempt to make its homely LEAF electric car a bit more interesting, Nissan Europe gave one a factory glow-in-the-dark paintjob – which we think would look even better on a Lambo. Sadly, there are no plans to put it into production.

A sport-tuned version of the 370z convertible. The 370z NISMO Roadster Concept has a 350hp 3.7L V6 engine, NISMO-tuned suspension, Recaro seats and integrated aerodynamic parts, including a carbon-fiber rear spoiler.

The Dubai Police Department shows off some of its over-the-top cop cars, which include a Nissan GT-R, a Lamborghini Aventador, a McLaren MP4-12C, a Bentley Continental GT, a Bugatti Veyron and more. Sure beats an old Crown Vic.

Michal Bonikowski’s conceptual electric snowmobile features a sleek lightweight shell and an enclosed passenger compartment. While it might isolate you from the outside world, you could go insanely fast in this thing – if it existed.

The opposite of the moped’s Survival edition. The Motoped Cruzer has a slim stainless steel tank, billet aluminum and brass accents, wood fenders and an aged leather seat. Surfboard rack and other optional accessories coming soon.

Acton’s motorized skates can propel riders along at speeds up to 12mph, strapping around your existing shoes for an easy fit. Runtime for the top-of-the-line R-10 model is 90 minutes, and they can support riders up to 275 lbs.

Aside from its timeless look, the 458 Italia replacement Ferrari 488 GTB has a twin-turbocharged 3.9L V8 that produces up to 661hp and 560lb-ft of torque. It also sports Ferrari’s F1 stability control and electronic differential tech.

New for 2016, this monster hot hatch features a 2.3L EcoBoost engine that can produce more than 320hp, an all-wheel drivetrain and torque vectoring system that should make hooning about like Ken Block easier than ever.

To sell us on their powerful new RC coupe, Lexus has decided to entertain us with some daft RC drifting. But in this case, we mean R/C, as in a 1/10th scale remote-controlled car, driven with precision by R/C drift expert Drift44.

(NSFW: Language) The Tesla Model S P85D‘s Insane Mode rockets the car from 0 to 60mph in just 3.2s with the help of its dual electric motors. YouTuber DragTimes captured his friends’ reaction to the breakneck acceleration.

At just 70″ long, the AirBoard aims to be a flying Segway, offering personal transportation on a quadcopter style flying platform. A safe flying mode will limit flying to just five feet off the ground. Fundraising soon on Indiegogo.

Super Bowl commercials are often grand and outrageous – two adjectives that suit action star Pierce Brosnan. But as his agent reveals, Kia has chosen a different approach for the Sorento ad that he’ll be starring in.

Xbox talks to Ford about the 2016 Ford GT, which will be one of the drivable cars in the Xbox One exclusive Forza Motorsport 6. The video is bursting with self-congratulatory babble, but even when muted it’s still worth watching.

The Bloodhound SSC team is building a car that can go 1000mph. Along the way, they had to test out the communication system and make sure it will work at high speeds. We think it was just an excuse to play with Jaguars, a helicopter and a jet.
