The RAM 1500 TRX is no doubt a beast of a pickup truck in itself, but Florida’s Apocalypse has now dialed things all the way up to 11 with its own 6×6 modification of the vehicle. Aptly dubbed the “Warlord,” the six-wheeler has been impeccably built to retain most of the truck’s stock aesthetics — so much so that it actually looks like it was created by RAM itself. With an extra axle subtly hidden underneath the truck bed, the car now pushes out all 700 horsepower from its supercharged Hellcat engine through all six of its wheels, giving you all the grip you’d ever imagine needing. Just to top things off, Apocalypse is also offering a list of adventurous add-ons including LED lights, larger 40-inch tires, and even thermal night vision. While the Warlord i...

The ultimate Mercedes-Benz road car is officially up for auction. The 1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR Strassenversion is arguably one of the most extreme racing cars ever conceived by the auto house. With only 25 of these cars ever produced by AMG, the road car was built in compliance with the FIA GT1 class rules. The GT1 class spawned some of the industry’s most extreme sports cars including the Porsche 911 GT1 and McLaren F1. The 1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR Strassenversion featured a mid-mounted 6.9-liter V12 which is based on the M120 engine used in other Mercedes road cars during that time. The V12 engine produces 604 horsepower and features a paddle-shifted 6-speed Xtrac sequential transaxle. Although the GTR was built using a similar architecture as other racing cars, the eng...

It’s a sad day for automotive fans who dreamt of a day they would see the Nissan Skyline name revived for the U.S. market. As of July 12, Ford has the trademark rights to the “Skyline” name under the category of “Motor and land vehicles, namely, SUVs, trucks, and automobiles.” Autoblog speculates that they could either be releasing a new model or are just straight up camping on the name. The name has beginnings as early as the ’60 and is closely associated with Nissan’s iconic lineage of GT-R sports cars. As of now, it shouldn’t be a problem for Nissan as the automotive manufacturer operates under the Infiniti name in the States with Nissan’s current Japanese Skyline sold as the Infiniti Q50. In other automotive news, this stock Toyota ...

Bugatti is done with the Divo as the final model has been produced for one very lucky Chiron-owning customer in Europe. The Divo is a limited-to-40-run coachbuilt hypercar based on the Chiron and was only available to those who bought the Chiron. With a base price of almost $5.9m USD, the Divo was Bugatti’s most expensive car on offer in 2018, but of course most of the coachbuilt cars were completely customized and personalized to the customer’s taste meaning the final price is likely to be much more than the base cost. This particular example — number 40 of 40 — is a nod to the marque’s history. Finished in “Bugatti EB 110 LM Blue” with blue carbon fiber components, the Divo pays homage to Bugatti’s last official Le Mans factory race car and also ...

Following in the footsteps of Jaguar, Bentley, Maserati, and even GM, Mercedes has now announced its plans to go fully electric by 2030. Revealing its new direction on Thursday, the company says that it’ll offer BEV versions of all its models across every segment by 2022, and by 2025 all of its brand new architectures will be electric only. To facilitate the transition, Mercedes will be spending a staggering €40 billion EUR (approx. $47 billion USD) between 2022 and 2030 to reach its fully electric targets. The money will allow Mercedes to build eight gigafactories in the near future in order to facilitate its growth into the EV market, and also provide the budget to release three new architectures based around electric cars: the AMG.EA for AMG enthusiasts, the MB.EA for general pass...

English writer Agatha Christie once said, “To travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches, and rivers, in fact, to see life.” The once dominant form to get around has since been a memory of a bygone age. But with the advent of more environmentally-conscious travelers, people such as French designer, Thierry Gaugain, aim to breathe life back into the industry. Dubbed the “G-Train,” an extremely lucky and wealthy person can pay $350,000,000 USD to get a private 1,300 foot smart train — comprising of 14 sleek cars that feature a state-of-the-art glass exterior that can change from opaque to transparent and a whole range of colors, depending on the environment. Additionally, the train will come with an owners suite, nearly 20 guest rooms, gym, spa an...

JDM cars aren’t just brilliant to drive and own, they’re also a great investment, and this 1995 Toyota Supra Mk4 is no exception. Fitted with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox, the Supra is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter 2JZ inline-six engine that produces 320 HP and 315 lb-ft of torque, which is good for a 0-60 MPH time of around five seconds. This particular example has only had one owner in its 25-year life and has accumulated just 7,000 miles, all of which were driven on the stock 17″ rims. Finished in “Renaissance Red,” the Supra comes with plenty of retro and sought-after touches such as the removable roof panel (very Fast & Furious), a small front lip spoiler, optional mudguards, and a rear wing, while components such as the brake cal...

Do you want a Brabus-tuned Mercedes-AMG G-Wagon but don’t want to look like a showoff? Well, Brabus has now given the GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupe a tune, which combines the marque’s thinking-man attitude with Brabus’ raw and visceral delivery of power for a car that’s full Jekyll and Hyde. On the outside it’s business as usual, with the car served up in black alongside plenty of carbon fiber hitting up the front splitter, the side skirts and wheel arches, wing mirror covers, the rear diffuser, and much more. Sitting on a huge set of 24-inch rims, the coupe sits 25mm lower than standard which makes for a very menacing look — but of course, because this Merc’ is a bit more subtle from the get-go, it also looks perfectly normal and not like it’s bein...

The new Audi RS3 Sportback and Sedan is here, and yet again the German marque has pulled all the stops to make what is undeniably one of the best hot hatches around. For 2022, Audi fits the RS3 with a 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged engine that’s good for 400 HP and 500 Nm of torque, or enough power to send the Quattro-equipped rocket to 62 MPH in just 3.8 seconds. An optional “RS Dynamic” pack will de-limit the top speed to allow it to reach 180 MPH, and stopping the car (with this pack) is a huge set of ceramic brakes. Everything on the RS3 has been tightened or neatened up to make it even more poised and aggressive. For example, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission has shorter shifting times and a sportier gear ratio spread, making for harder accelerations off t...

Automotive tuning company NOVITEC is known for taking already blisteringly fast cars and turning them up to eleven, and its take on the Ferrari SF90 Stradale is absolutely no exception. In standard form, the twin-turbo V8 engine that’s paired with three electric motors produces an already impressive 986 HP, but for NOVITEC this wasn’t enough. By adding a high-performance exhaust system and metal catalysts, power is now up to 1,033 HP and 858 Nm of torque, which makes the hypercar hit 62 MPH in a staggering 2.5 seconds before going onto a top speed of over 211 MPH. The new exhaust system is not just for added power, as it allows the four-liter V8 to breathe better which offers better overall performance and economy. Secondly, 100-cell metal catalysts and two stainless tailpipes ...

Just 1,311 Ferrari F40s were built between 1987 and 1992, and it’s safe to say that if you have ever seen one it’s probably been in the signature red shade of “Rosso Ferrari.” So, finding one in blue (inspired by Porsche’s “Aqua Blue Metallic”) is beyond rare — and now this single example is up for sale. The F40 has quite a story attached to it, too. Starting life in Nyon near Lake Geneva in 1989, this model was then taken to Japan in 2004 and was converted into the F40 LM by Liberty Walk. In 2014, Joe Macari Performance Cars London bought the Liberty Walk-bodied car and brought it back to the U.K. where it was purchased again on the basis that it was returned to its original condition, and painted blue. This was at the request of the photogr...

In a world rife with hypercars and electric cars that can perform the unimaginable, Pininfarina is making a case for the ultimate level of customization. Its Battista hyper GT is an all-electric, 1,900 HP, 1,696 lb-ft. of torque-producing road-legal rocket, and in addition to the already incredibly exclusive club this car belongs to, Pininfarina wants to make the car stand out more than anything that’s ever come before it by allowing customers to customize nearly every inch of their Battista. The first fully bespoke Battista is the one you can see above, and it’s inspired by New York City. Featuring industry-first carbon fiber bodywork in red, white, and blue (just like the U.S. flag), the car uses “Iconica Blu” thread throughout the exterior to create an aesthetic ...
