Mad Max

Producing 558 horsepower and 482 lb-ft. of torque, the “DeathKart” is one of the nuttiest takes on steampunk engineering we’ve ever seen. Built by dedicated drift fanatic Mike Perez and the guys over at Pennsylvania-based mod shop Speed Warhouse, this insane machine is what happens when a track car bumps uglies with a dune buggy.

Pastor “Crashtor” Maldonado is best known for being a Lotus F1 driver who often drives his car into things. It’s usually other peoples’ cars, but sometimes he crashes all by himself. Is putting him in the seat of a car that is designed for Mad Max‘s post-apocalyptic vehicular combat a terrifying move, a brilliant one, or both?
