Customs : Car Reviews And News

It’s been quite some time since the Land Rover Defender was sold here in the US. In fact, it was sold only from 1993 to 1997 due to ever-changing safety regulations. I’m hopeful that the Defender will be relaunched in the next couple of years, but there’s nothing quite like the rugged, boxy shape of a classic Defender.

The current generation Ford F-150 Raptor is already an amazing off-road performance truck. But as Shelby has been known to do, they couldn’t just leave things there, and decided to amp the Raptor up even more.

We’ve got cars with 4 wheels, 3 wheels, and even 6 wheels. But something that doesn’t seem natural at all is a car that has only 2 wheels. But that’s exactly what we have here – the 1967 Gyro-X, courtesy of Nashville’s Lane Motor Museum, who recently completed a full restoration of this unusual, one-of-a-kind vehicle. 

MINI just revealed a sweet custom variant of its popular subcompact car, designed to pay homage to the brand’s racing heritage, as well as to show off some ultra-modern production techniques, like 3D printing and 3D knitting of materials.

Do you want an off-road truck that looks like an armored bank truck? Look no further than the Sport Chassis P4-XL. This beast is built on a Freightliner M2 Sport chassis, but heavily modified for luxury, comfort, and increased versatility.

While today’s C7 Chevy Corvettes are the best ‘Vettes ever in terms of performance and handling, I always loved the look of the C3 Corvette. I think it’s because the ’70s and early ’80s models were the Vettes of my boyhood car fantasies.

The Tumbler from the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy is arguably the coolest vehicle the Dark Knight has ever driven. Well, that and the batpod motorcycle that emerges from its front. While nothing will ever live up to the original, you could build your own with the help of a donor vehicle, some shop skills, and a little elbow grease.

If the 650 hp, $450,000+ Ford GT weren’t awesome enough all on its own, now Ford Performance has gone and made it look even better, with a slick livery which pays homage to the Le Mans winning ’67 Ford GT40 Mk.

The Lancia Stratos is one of those classic cars that many gearheads would love to have in their collection. But it’s not exactly the easiest or cheapest car to come by, never mind the fact that ’70s and ’80s Italian sportscars aren’t exactly known for their reliability.

With brands like Caterham, Zenos, BAC Mono, Ariel Motors to its credit, the UK is a hotbed for low-production track day sports cars. Now we can add another brand to the list, with Avatar, and their powerful, lightweight monster, the Avatar Roadster.

Whether you’re a diplomat, an oil baron, or simply wealthy and paranoid, you need a vehicle that can survive a hostile attack. Look no further. Custom vehicle maker Devolro has got your covered with its KingDavid armored super truck.

There’s a very large ocean between a Honda Civic and a Bugatti Veyron. The Civic is a sub-$30,000, front-wheel drive car, with a 4-cylinder engine, and in most incarnations, less than 200 horsepower. On the other hand, pretty much every Veyron ever sold went for more than a $1.5 million bucks, is all-wheel drive, has a massive 16-cylinder engine, that pushes out at least 1,000 horsepower.

Frankly, I already think that Bentleys have a boat-like quality about them, so it’s not much of a stretch to think that the British luxury car maker is showing off a model that was “inspired by the finest luxury yachts.” This limited-edition Continental GT V8 convertible has been upgraded and customized by Bentley’s Mulliner division, and really does look like a yacht for the land.

Seeing that the average book value on a 1988 Chevrolet Sprint is about $1,495, the idea of paying more than 23 times that amount seems outlandish – especially for a car with over 72,000 miles on the odometer.

Tesla buyers love their cars for lots of reasons. They’re fast, high-tech, spacious, and use no fossil fuels. But one thing I’ve never been crazy about with Tesla is their stock interiors. For a luxury vehicle, I think they could do much better in terms of materials and overall cabin styling.
