We all know that the electric motors in the Tesla Model S can push out a tremendous amount of torque, and at breakneck speeds. But what if you don’t like the way the Model S looks?

The 1960s and 1970s gave us some of the coolest looking concept cars of all time. The streamlined wedge-shaped cars were my personal favorites, like the Lamborghini Marzal, the Toyota EX-III, and this gloriously futuristic machine, the 1970 Ferrari Modulo 512.

We’ve known for a while that Tesla was working on its own electric pickup truck. But the company has a long history of overpromising and slow times to market, so I wouldn’t expect to see a production Tesla pickup for a while.

To this day, Porsche is renowned as one of the finest manufacturers of sports cars in the world. From its humble beginnings in 1898 with the electric P1 carriage, to the development of the Volkswagen Beetle under Nazi rule, to the great 911 in 1963, to their 21st century 918 Spyder hybrid hypercar, Porsche has a long and storied history.

We all hate mowing the lawn so the faster it gets done, the better. Honda’s Mean Mower Mk2 can actually cut grass and its stupid fast. It recently grabbed a Guinness World Record for fastest 0-100 mph acceleration for a lawnmower, turning in a time of just 6.285 seconds with driver Jess Hawkins behind the wheel.

If you look back over the course of racing history, one of the most important and memorable times was the epic face-off between Ford and Ferrari during the late 1960s at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Volkswagen took its powerful electric racing car, the ID.R, to the Nürburgring in Germany to run the car around the notoriously difficult track. VW went with its eyes on setting the second EV lap time record for the car after a record-setting run up Pikes Peak last year.

The much-derided Pontial Aztek sits atop many lists for being the ugliest car ever produced. And while it might have had some redeeming qualities, its exterior design most certainly was not one of them. But with a little nip here and a tuck there, could the Aztek have been a much better looking vehicle?

I’ve seen some incredible car stunts over the years, but this insane footage from 1976 might just take the cake. Some 40 years ago, stunt driver Kenny Powers (no, not that Kenny Powers) attempted to drive a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental off a 10 story-tall ramp and fly one mile across the St.

The AMC Gremlin was a quirky little car made from 1970 to 1978. The angular, economy subcompact has achieved somewhat of a cult status over the years, looking something like a VW Rabbit with the face of an AMC Hornet.

Ferrari is showing off some of the awesome features of its new F8 Tributo with a pair of videos. The first video focuses on the performance of the car, and some of the things that make it better than the 488 GTB it replaces.

Thanks to its silly one-in-the-front, two-in-the-back wheel setup, and complete lack of balance, the Reliant Robin is best known for its desire to roll over at the slightest attempt to corner. This was seen by many of us in a classic episode of Top Gear. 

SAAB may have fallen on hard times in recent years, but it once made some really great cars. And while we preferred the older SAAB 99 design, the Saab 900 of the 1980s and 90s wasn’t a bad car – and it certainly was known for its safety.

Previously, on TaxTheRich, we got to witness a Ferrari 288 GTO driving off-road, and a Jaguar XJ220 ripping up some grass in the English countryside. In this clip, the man who refuses to treat his supercars with kid gloves takes that very same XJ220, and smashes the hammer down to create an epic burnout, fueled not just by burning rubber, but a little bit of highly-flammable accelerant to get a small fire going.

Pulling off drifts, powerslides and handbrake turns is challenging enough when doing it solo, so one can only imagine how difficult it must be to try and pull off such maneuvers in coordination with other drivers.
