Custom Cars : Car News And Reviews

In preparation for this year’s Overland Expo WEST, Nissan is showing off an exceptionally well kitted-out custom of its already hefty Armada full-size SUV, which we recently reviewed. This very special vehicle was designed based on the wishes of Nissan Trucks‘ social media followers, who provided input on what the design should include, and how it should be wrapped.

All around the US, the police and highway patrol agencies favor Ford Explorers for their SUVs and Dodge Chargers for their patrol cars. But you’ll soon need to start checking your rear-view mirrors for a hopped-up police version of the 2018 Dodge Durango called the Durango Pursuit.

The 2018 Roush JackHammer has been announced, and the coolest thing about it is the strapping of a R2650 supercharger to the 5.0L V8 under its hood, so it now makes 710 hp and 610 lb-ft.

Roush has announced its new 2018 Roush Super Duty F-250. The truck doesn’t get any enhancements under the hood though. It’s all suspension and style. All trucks get custom Roush 20-inch wheels and BFG off-road tires.

If you ask a bunch of Mustang fans what the best-looking year was for Ford’s pony car, about the only thing most of them will be able to agree on is that it’s not the Mustang II from the malaise era.

If you owe Dom a ten-second car, the Hennessey Jeep Trackhawk HPE 1000 should do the trick quite nicely. The stock Jeep Trackhawk starts out with an already impressive 707 hp supercharged V8 good for a mid-11-second quarter mile run.

It’s hard to call Pikes Peak a hill – it is after all one of the tallest mountains in the world that you can drive all the way up. The course for the annual climb up the mountain is 12.42 miles long and has 156-corners.

The 2018 Lincoln Navigator is gigantic luxury SUV aimed squarely at the livery market, but that didn’t stop the madmen at Hennessey Performance from transforming the vehicle into a powerful beast capable of hitting 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds.

McLaren has already shown off its crazy-powerful and lightweight Senna supercar, and in some colors from some angles, it’s a weird looking car. We did see one in all black that looked really cool though. McLaren Special Operations now has unveiled a special version the car that has visible carbon fiber just about everywhere, and really looks fantastic.

German Porsche upgrader Techart will roll a customized version of the Panamera Sport Turismo wagon into the Geneva Motor Show next month. The recently revamped model is already cool by itself, but Techart gives it even more style and performance.

After losing his previous Audi RS 6 wagon to theft and arson, Swedish pro skier Jon Olsson teamed up with the crew over at ABT to build an awesome custom Audi wagon with loads of style and power.

Last year, Hennessey Performance showed off their attempt to crush the monstrous Dodge Challenger SRT Demon with their Camaro ZL1-based monster The Exorcist. Now, the guys from Hennessey have proven just how impressive their tuned gen-6 Camaro really is by demonstrating just how fast it can go.

All that a lot of Jeep Wrangler owners really want Jeep to do is offer a V8 engine option. But Jeep isn’t really into sticking V8s into its 4×4, leaving V6 or turbo fours as the engine options in the current model – with a diesel option coming later.

If cars are indeed your thing, then what is the equivalent of having tasteful amounts of sex appeal? Does it go beyond beltline curves, carbon fiber, Alcantara, and aluminum? The vehicular landscape is one that comes littered with both staggeringly good and bad design touches, and while concepts like Infiniti’s insanely sleek Q Inspiration stirred the Detroit auto show this year, there’s a lot to love about Chicago’s shindig a couple weeks later as well.

When opportunity comes knocking it is often best to answer. Preferably with a hearty “Hell yeah!” and especially when it involves a Nissan 370Z that’s been converted into an over-sized snowmobile on steroids. This is exactly what happened to Nissan’s chief Truck and SUV Brand Communications specialist, Kevin Raftery; who upon accepting the offer to take the snow-throwing Fairlady Z out for a spin in the Grand Tetons, found himself assisting in the creation of Nissan’s latest video adventure.
