THE BEST Rides

Built on a Ford F-650 chassis, Dunkel Industries’ Luxury 4×4 is an uber-RV; it’ll haul an entire car in its bed and includes a shower, two flatscreens TVs yet still is able to go off-roading.

We wouldn’t mind BMW’s Vision EfficientDynamics concept in our garage; a 3-cylinder turbodiesel and two electric motors churn out 356 hp / 590 lb-ft of torque while getting 62.6 mpg.

All show and all go, ABT’s Audi R8 5.2 FSI sports an all-black paint job and a 75 hp boost to 600 hp good for a 0-60 of 3.8s, thanks to a 4-pipe exhaust system and engine tweaks.

Based for the first time on the 911 GT3 RS, Porsche’s 911 GT3 Cup gets wider, lower, and ups the downforce to the rear axle while adding 30 bhp thanks to a larger 3.8L flat six.

Trek Bike’s chainless District goes all out with the District Carbon; the carbon fiber in the belt drive spreads to the rest of the bike with a handcrafted OCLV Carbon Fiber frame.

Celebrating the 50th birthday of the original MINI, the MINI Coupe Concept is a hot little two-seater; it packs a 211 hp, turbocharged 1.6L and an Overboost mode good for 206 lb-ft.

We’re not going to pretend playing kickball with a 4Runner or an S2000 is safe, but Big Ball vs Cars is ridiculously awesome fun; next time, pick an empty lot away from kids and breakables.

Do want: these street legal bumper cars pack 500-750cc engines that are capable of not-so-legal speeds of up to 160 mph; they can be found prowling the streets of San Diego.

Their first four-seater convertible, Maserati’s GranCabrio is an open-top version of the GranTurismo; it’s powered by a 440 bhp 4.7L V8, and features a canvas roof and long wheelbase.

Ural’s new Patrol T is $600 cheaper than the regular Patrol but gains a two wheel drive over the Ural T; the retro-styled sidecar motorcycle is decked out in olive and matte black.

Confederate’s new P120 Fighter Combat is limited to 120 bikes; it packs a 1,966cc radial twin engine with 160 hp / 135 ft-lbs torque and is made out of 6061 aircraft grade aluminum.

The Tesla Model S was revealed earlier this year, but this new batch of pics gives us what we really want: action shots of the green sport sedan tearing up the asphalt.

Designed by Aleksander Polutnik, the Enicycle is a unicycle with gyroscopic stabilization–in other words, even novices can learn how to ride in under 5 minutes.

Porsche improves its bred-for-the-track 911 GT3 RS on all fronts for 2010 with a larger 3.8L flat six (+15 hp to 450 hp), improved handling via a PASM suspension, and wider body.

British-based Noble’s M600 is now official: it packs a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8, carbon fiber body panels and a svelte curb weight of 2180 lbs, all good for a 0-60 of 3.0s.

Straight from the Paris, Peugeot’s RCZ coupe is official: the 2+2 sports car has a bit of Audi TT in her, but packs up to 1.6L turbo high-pressure engine good for 200 bhp/255 Nm of torque.

Spyker’s C8 Aileron goes topless with the Spyder (available 1H 2010), which sports a semi-automatic canvas soft-top; the Audi 4.2L 400bhp engine otherwise stays the same.

Love or hate its grinning, jewel-like fascia, but Bentley’s Mulsanne is their new flagship; it’s 11″ longer than the Flying Spur, will use a 6.75L V8 and will go on sale mid 2010.

Formerly only seen in renderings, the 2010 Devon GTX recently made its debut at Pebble Beach; it’s an American-born supercar with a 650 hp 8.4L V10 and carbon fiber body.

Infiniti’s 2011 M is official:it’s at an evolutionary redesign of the outgoing model inspired by the Essence Concept and will come in two flavors: the 400 hp V8 M56 and V6 M37.

It’s hard to believe a 400 hp twin-turbo V8 could be eco-friendly, but BMW hopes to score green points with the ActiveHybrid X6; it cuts fuel consumption by 20% and CO2 by 231 g/km.

Spotted by Jalopnik, Wes Messick’s Radical Flyer is every boy at heart’s dream come true: it’s a giant eight passenger wagon by a 5.7L Chevy 350 small block. PS-drag race here.

Alright, so the 500 hp BMW V12 engine isn’t really screaming save the environment, but Lazareth’s Wazuma Bio V12 Quad does run on E85 ethanol fuel–assuming you can catch it.

Be the coolest dad on the block (or the dorkiest 30 year old, your pick) with a Tumbler Go-Kart (“T-Kart”), a mini version of Batman’s ride minus reverse; buy the full plans on eBay here.

The 2010 Yamaha VMAX only gets a price increase and an admittedly slick red paint job, but it’s tough ignoring the muscle bike’s brute power: a 1679cc V4 with fly-by-wire throttle.

BMW’s 7 Series High Security will withstand most assault weapons and the occasional bomb, with new 2.4″ safety glazing, armor plating throughout and a getaway worthy 0-60 of 6.2 s.
