  • Latvian dual-Passat donuts in the snow

    Dramamine to the rescue on this dual-Passat throw down in the snow. MUST SEE: Watch The Ford GT Supercar Start, Rev Its Twin-Turbo V-6, And Drive: Video Yes, that’s right. Dual. Passat. Snow. Donuts. One is a 1.8-liter, the other a 2.0—but both are welded together at the A-pillar to create a machine of terrifying, dizzying proportions. An added bonus: one door open the whole time, because let's be honest, safety really isn't a concern here. Smoking Latvian madman, we don’t know what inspired you, or how you keep from blowing chunks, but we salute you. CHECK OUT: 2017 Ford...

  • Callaway C12
    Callaway C12 Owned By Dale Jr. Hits eBay

    If you're a Corvette fan, it's probably safe to say that you're also a Callaway fan. No, I don't mean the group that make golf clubs, but rather Callaway cars. The Connecticut-based team has been turning out modified Corvettes in various shades of aggression for many years now. MUST SEE: Watch The...

  • Hennessey HPE700 Supercharged C7 Corvette
    Hennessey HPE700 Supercharged Corvette Runs The Quarter: Video

    Would you be sad if you had the keys to a C7 Corvette and it was saddled with the eight-speed automatic gearbox? You shouldn't be because, by all accounts, it's a pretty slick transmission. Also, as John Hennessey proves, the auto cog-swapping coupe capable of tremendous feats of acceleration...

  • DeLorean hovercraft by Matthew Riese, a.k.a. David Lorean.

    This isn’t a new project, and it’s not something that has blown up all over the Internet. We can’t figure out why. Because it’s awesome. Sure, it only has a 16-hp engine, and sure it’s not exactly quick or anything (top speed is about 23 mph). But it looks amazing, has a crowd-funded background, and, well, it just flips every “AWESOME” switch in our genome--and a good chunk of the Back To The Future fantasies we had as kids. WATCH: Tesla Model S P85D Cranks Out Massive 864 LB-FT On The Dyno: Video What is it? It’s a DeLorean hovercraft, created...

    Ronin RS 211 Lands In Jay Leno’s Garage: The Ultimate Lotus?

    While this Lotus is barely even a Lotus anymore, it’s quite possibly the most impressive, insane, incredible Lotus ever. It’s called the Ronin RS 211, and it’s the brainchild of Frank Profera. MUST SEE: Car Crashes Into Bedroom Of 71-Year-Old Car Enthusiast: Video Built as a...

  • Mansory Mercedes-Benz S-Class

    I have little to no love for any products that automotive customizer Mansory has put out over its history. The styling is typically far too in-your-face in the worst way, turning exotic, luxury, or high-performance machines into rolling bits of poorly planned pop art. The saying "It's not my cup of tea" is too kind for some of the past Mansory builds. CHECK OUT: Conservative ECU Tuning Causing Power Loss On 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Lately, however, the minds at Mansory must have stepped away from the carbon-fiber infused drug table that no doubt adorns their central conference room.

    Hooniverse Updates Its Wagon Project: The Wombat

    Over in the Hooniverse, we look at things... a little differently. Some see a W123-generation Mercedes-Benz wagon as a timeless piece of German engineering that's not to be messed with. Under the hood is a stout five-cylinder turbodiesel engine that's designed to run until the Sun burns out. We see...

  • Ferrari Sergio
    First Ferrari Sergio Lands In The UAE

    It's essentially a concept car that's been given a few tweaks to turn it into a production vehicle. I use the term "production vehicle" lightly here seeing as just six examples of the Ferrari Sergio will be built.

    Man Ruins Ferrari F430 By Trying To Make It An Enzo

    It never ceases to amaze us what some individuals will do to their cars to turn them into something entirely different, but this latest conversion probably takes the cake. While usually the donor cars aren’t worth much in the first place, the owner of this crude Enzo conversion started off...

    You've seen plenty of sports cars tuned up by John Hennessey and his HPE crew. Any manner of already-fast machine can and will be made faster by Hennessey. What about vehicles that are basically rolling bricks though? Don't worry... Hennessey can work some magic on those as well. MUST SEE: Ferrari...

  • Lara Racing twin-engine Neon SRT-4

    The chimera you see here doesn’t look (or sound) to be the most skillful of creations, but we have to tip our hats to the crazy bastards who built it just for the sheer audacity of doing so. MUST SEE: 27-Year-Old That Crashed McLaren P1 Had Car For Less Than 24 Hours What is it? It’s a Dodge Neon SRT-4 that’s been upgraded with another engine in the rear, driving the rear wheels. Even more wacky: the two engines and drive axles can apparently be run separately—or together. In this demonstration, the car does a front-drive burnout, followed by a rear-drive burnout, and...

    The Palatov D4 is a beastly little machine, purpose built for carving apexes, laying down thick slabs of lap time, covered in a rich gravy of speed.
