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.

The tuning experts at Hennessey Performance have unveiled what it calls the ultimate Gladiator, and it sure seems like an accurate description. The 2020 Hennessey Maximus 1000 is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator with the puny V6 pulled out, and a 6.2L Supercharged Hellcat V8 put inside.

Dynatrac is one of the biggest names in the axle and drivetrain world, and it has teamed up with a conversion specialist called America’s Most Wanted 4×4, a company specializing in Hemi conversions for Jeeps. The worked together to put a new Jeep Gladiator under the knife for some extreme surgery.

With so many of cars on the road today being front-wheel or all-wheel drive, if you put someone into a high-performance car with rear wheel drive and let them go, things can go very wrong, very fast.

The car you see here is one of a complete series commissioned by Aston Martin Cambridge and done up by their customization arm, Q by Aston Martin. There are 24 examples of the car, called the DBS 59, with one for each hour of the 1959 24 hours of Le Mans that Aston drivers took first and second place in.

One glance at the Ferrari P80/C and you will want one. You can’t have one though. Not even if you are super rich because this car is Ferrari’s latest one-off ride. The P80/C is a modern interpretation of a sports prototype racing car and is for track use only.

While those in some parts of the globe are getting an official Ford Ranger Raptor, here in the States, Ford has yet to announce plans for one. Seizing on a clear market opportunity, Hennessey Performance wasted no time turning its hand to the 2019 Ford Ranger truck.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S are both fast cars already. The former has 540 hp and 486 lb-ft of torque with the latter packing 580 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Porsche specialist Gemballa takes that to a whole new level with a modded car that makes those stock numbers seem slow.

Nissan has pulled the wraps off another crazy concept car that will be making the car show rounds – this time up in Canada. The Altima-te is much like the Rogue Warrior from a few years back in that it ditches the wheels for tank-like tracks.

Alex Saint is staring death in the face and giving it a noisy, raucous, middle finger at the same time. This dude took the screaming 1000cc four-cylinder engine out of a 2013 Suzuki GSX-R1000 and crammed it inside a tiny Honda N600 mini truck.

I am a big Jeep Wrangler fan, but I really wish they offered a V8 option. As it is now only a V6 is available. If you want a V8 in your Wrangler, you have to go aftermarket.

An American rally team has taken an incredibly boring Chevy Sonic and turned it into something cool. PMR Motorsports pulled the anemic 138 hp four out of the Sonic and crammed inside an LS3 V8 and gave it an all-wheel drivetrain.

One of the more incredible custom car builds I’ve ever seen has to be this BMW from Letrons. It looks just like a regular BMW when parked, but then opens up to form a giant mech, just like a Transformer.

Despite spending the majority of my 50 years on this planet as a gearhead, I’m still amazed how on a regular basis, I come across a vehicle that I never knew existed. Today’s revelation? An unusual 1970s British sports car that had two extra wheels up front.

M-Sport Poland has pulled the wraps off its latest rally car, the Ford Fiesta R2. The R2 in the car’s name comes from the fact that the little ride is designed to the latest FIA R2 regulations.
