Nissan Juke Nismo On Treads Looks Like An Insane Snowmobile From Space

The Nismo still looks futuristic to the point of wackiness, even if the design has been with us for a few years now. Throw some snow treads on there and it goes from cool to ice cold, baby! I don't think treads will become a dealer-available option for 2015 but...

A CTS-V Powered Ford F-100 Is An Awesome Way To Advertise Your Shop

This 1969 Ford F-100 looks built, but reserved. Especially for a corporate-sponsored custom car. Until you open the hood and peel back the completely re-engineered independent suspension.

With 665 horsepower and 658 lb-ft of torque, the supercharged Hennessey HPE650 GMC Yukon might be the meanest thing around with seating for seven and a 7,000 pound towing capacity. The obvious question is; can hold its own against Dodge Challenger Hellcat? The drag race (06:45) definitely isn't definitive; in...

Here's What The First Maybach Mercedes 4x4 Will Probably Look Like

Mustache-Benz boss saying a Mercedes-Maybach SUV is "most likely!" Logic dictates that would basically be a GL, soon to be rebadged as GLS, with a bit of a body stretch and a private-jet interior.

Why South American Truck Culture Just Might Be Better Than Ours

Here in the US, we've got some pretty great pickups and 4WD vehicles to choose from. We've also got plenty of cool communities to go on off-road adventures with. But after a month of driving trucks around South America, I'm starting to think they do trucks even better. Here's why....
