THE BEST Rides

MonkeyLectric’s Bike Wheel Lights let you add 32 LEDs to your bicycle; it’s similar to SpokePOV, except it can display multiple colors and doesn’t require soldering. Thanks, Brian!

The “S” is for speed: Apple’s iPhone 3GS is out 6/19 and gets a faster CPU, better battery life, a 3MP autofocus camera, 30fps video recording, voice control, compass and 7.2Mbps HSDPA.

Inspired by Gymkhana Practice, DC Shoes’ Gymkhana TWO may be an infomercial, but watching Ken Block tear up the Port of LA in an WRX STI (with Rob Dyrdek) is pure driving bliss.

Based off an animal skull, Schöpfer Yachts’ 300-foot Infinitas is Dr. Evil-ready; it features an elevator, helipad, and a pool with bridge–the latter filled with ill-tempered sea bass.

Based on an ASV PT-100 Loader chassis, the TRAC Assault Platform is modified for law enforcement with ballistic windows, armored panels, spotlights, and space for 6-7 personnel.

This CODE X yacht concept is a 47-foot catamaran packed to the gills with tech: LED touchscreens, solar/hybrid power, a GPS virtual anchor and twin F1 engines good for 710hp.

Named after the Inuit word for “wolf,” Volkswagen’s Amarok Pickup will come in double and single-cab 4WD versions; it runs on VW’s line of efficient common rail turbo diesel engines.

These U.S. Air Force Super Cars are nearly airworthy; the Mustang X-1 features a cockpit with ejector seat while the stealthy Challenger Vapor sports an IR camera and heads-up display.

Low-key styling on the outside hides flaming orange internals in G-Power’s BMW M3; it sports a massaged V8 that gets an 80hp boost to 500hp and a 199mph top speed.

Though these Aaron Ross Signature Grips sport an embossed keyboard, they’re less QWERTY and more for wheelies; look closely and you’ll see “Aaron Ross” and “Whip”, “Spin,” and “Hop.”

The 2009 Indy 500 Race Tracker is an infographic-lover’s way to watch races; it shows all 200 laps from start to finish, with cars shown in relation to their time behind/in front of the leader.

Show your neighbors who’s king of the sod with the Mow-Aerator; the 1.5″ spikes attach to your riding mower’s tires, letting you mow and aerate your lawn at the same time.

Things are looking up for Neal Bailey’s self-named Bailey Blade XTR: it now has private financing, a larger facility and a slew of new pics; it’ll pack a 5.4L V8 good for 750hp.

Using a 500cc Buell Blast motor, Mac Motorcycles’ four bikes espouse a rider-centric philosophy we can get behind (and ride on): Harley posture, flat-track manners and Ducati handling.

Part Yank, part Brit, the 2010 Triumph Thunderbird is a mid-range cruiser for the US market but uses Triumph’s 1600cc parallel twin instead of a V-twin, good for 100hp and 115lb-ft.

As if their cars weren’t fast enough, Ariel’s Atom 500 sports a 3.0L V8 that churns out 500bhp and weighs about 90kg; this and a host of other tweaks brings it to 0-60mph in under 2.5s.

Lexus’ LF-A has finally cracked the 200mph barrier with aerodynamic and engine tweaks, good for 218mph; it’ll have a wider body and aero kit, like the Nurburgring race version above.

Subaru’s Impreza WRX has been many things through the years, but it’s never been gorgeous; this hunkered down WRX STI concept by Lars Martensson is indeed a hot hatch.

Not the eponymous MacGuffin from the movie, but the $138 million uber-yacht: the Maltese Falcon is up for sale and is the world’s largest and fastest personal sailboat at 289 feet.

This year’s 24 Hours of Nurburgring had a low turnout due to rule changes, but this set of 50+ photos is still droolworthy; Manthey Racing wins a fourth time with their Porsche 997 GT3-RSR.

Show your neighbors once and for all who has the best ride with Style Your Garage: it lets you Velcro tanks, fighter jets, racecars and other over-the-top objects to your garage.

This Bumblebee Edition Chevy Camaro won’t turn into your personal robot, but sports black racing stripes, rally yellow paint and Transformers badging on the wheels and inside.

Do want, even if it’s across the pond: Volkswagen’s Europe-only 2010 Scirocco R gets the Audi S3’s 2.0 TFSI @ 265hp, XDS differential, lowered suspension and upgraded brakes.

The bodykit is nothing special, but this Brabus-tuned E-Class Coupe swaps the stock 5.5L V8 for a 6.1L; the billet crankshaft is good for 462hp, 453 lb-ft. of torque, and a 0-60 of 4.7s.

Audi’s Q5 cute ute gets some serious power with their Custom Concept; beyond the lowered height and widened track, the TFSI V6 gets massaged to 408hp, good for a 0-60 of 4.4s.

We’ve all seen Toyota’s modernized FJ Cruiser, but ICON actually builds original Landcruisers (albeit with modern tech); you can customize everything from the color to the wheelbase.
