I’ve spent some time driving cool microcars thanks to Nashville’s Lane Motor Museum. These teensy vehicles were popular from the late 1950s through the 1970s due to the scarcity of materials, their fuel efficiency, and city-friendliness.…

Car companies show off concept designs to get buyers excited about the future state of their design and technology. Most of today’s concept cars are sleek and aerodynamic and feature appealing traits like oversized wheels, suicide doors, a yoke steering wheel, and cameras in place of side mirrors.…

Lamborghini isn’t exactly known for making family-friendly vehicles. Sure, there’s the Urus, but that’s more of a tall sports car than a typical SUV. In 1988, the automaker teamed up with famed Italian coachbuilder Bertone to create an MPV, aka Multi-Purpose Vehicle, aka minivan, called the Bertone Genesis Concept.…

Futurists have dreamt of flying cars for decades, with notable contributions from HG Wells, The Jetsons, Blade Runner, and The Fifth Element. But our dreams of flying over traffic jams have yet to come true.…

The 1990s were generally not a good decade for automotive design and performance. It was the era of awkward, bubble-shaped cars and the rise of the minivan.…

While concept cars are often thought of as futuristic objects of desire, oftentimes the designs are so “outside of the box” that they just end up being awful.…

7-Eleven teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports to create this customized Ford Mustang. 7-Eleven went all out with design touches inspired by its stores. Someone will have the opportunity to win the vehicle by purchasing select items from 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes stores or by following 7-Eleven’s Instagram and mentioning a friend in the comments on this post.…

Yes, what you see in these images is a 2006 Dodge Charger R/T that has been converted into a pickup. It looks like a modern Chevrolet El Camino, which, depending on how you feel about utes, is either a good thing or a bad thing.…

The Pontiac Aztek is arguably one of the ugliest vehicles ever created. While the early take on a crossover certainly wasn’t Pontiac’s proudest design moment, the brand did make lots of great sports cars over the years, with the 1970s Firebird Trans Am being one of the most iconic of its cars.…

Over the years, we’ve seen some truly unusual kit cars. Oftentimes, they’re designed to make less expensive sports cars look like Lamborghinis, Ferraris, or other exotics.…

Everyone who drives a car understands the basic concept of horsepower as a way of measuring their vehicle’s engine capabilities. Counting power based on the pulling strength of horses dates back to the 18th century as a way to measure the output of steam engines, when it helped buyers understand how many draft horses they could replace with a given engine.…

While the idea of a 6×6 Mercedes G-wagon has tremendous appeal to me, it’s not necessarily the case that more wheels are always better. Take, for example, this ridiculous looking creation that recently turned up in Russia.…

The amphibious Colani Sea Ranger was built on top of a Mercedes-Benz Unimog. Or at least put together using the parts from one; it’s certainly no longer recognizable as a Unimog. …

I suppose if you’re going to tow a trailer with a sports car, it shouldn’t be an ordinary box on wheels. What you’re looking at is a crazy custom-built trailer that looks just like the car that’s towing it.…

Not every vehicle needs to be a six-figure supercar to be amazing. Take, for instance this custom built Star Trek shuttlecraft on wheels that was photographed by Redditor Kalvious.…
