Vehicles are one of the most important innovations in the world, yet most of us are so used to
them that they’ve almost become boring.
But while lamborghinis and private jets might occasionally excite us, they’re nothing
compared to some of the craziest and downright amazing vehicles that the world has ever seen.
These aren’t any old cars though, oh no, we’re talking some of the most marvelous
mechanized machines that are on a whole ‘nother level.
That’s why today we’re going to be taking a look at vehicles whose power, design and
speed will blow your hair back and make you reevaluate how you look at anything on wheels
for the rest of your days.
Ready to take a look?
Let’s get it on!
KARLMANN KING Looking as though Ferrari designed the Batmobile,
the Karlmann king is a serious headturner of a luxury car.
And while the outside is already slick enough to make your jaw drop, taking a look inside
will really blow your mind.
Decked out with alligator skin seats, real gold trim, and neon lit all over, this really
does seem like something Bruce Wayne would be driving.
It even comes with a built-in espresso maker to start your day off right, and a champagne
cooler to end it in style.
The decadent seats don’t just give you a ton of legroom, they can also recline to provide
a well-earned nap on your way to the next afterparty.
It’s no wonder that the King is the most expensive SUV on the planet, with the premium
package costing a cool $3.5 million.
With a price tag like that, it’s good to know that you’ll be safe inside, because
this wild ride is completely bulletproof, for when billionaire playboys switch over
to their caped crusader mode in the night.
I don’t care what anyone says, this car was definitely designed with Batman in mind.
SHERP Part ATV, part boat and all insane power,
the Russian made Sherp is an all-terrain vehicle that everybody wants a chance to ride around
in.
This amphibious mini-monster truck can conquer any obstacle you put in front of it as easily
as if it were a marble countertop.
This bad boy rips through ice, snow, sand or mud like it’s nothing, and provides an
insanely fun ride for whoever’s lucky enough to be behind the wheel.
But the craziest part of this truly all-terrain vehicle comes when it meets water.
Most people wouldn’t dare drive on thin ice, but it just adds to the adventure of
the fully amphibious Sherp, which functions like a boat the second it detects a drop of
water.
Watching the wheels drive through water like a road is really a strange sight to behold,
because a vehicle that looks like this just shouldn’t be able to do that, but the Sherp
is the ATV that makes the impossible a really fun reality.
REZVANI TANK Meet the assault vehicle of the future, the
Rezvani tank.
Unlike your boring old clunky tanks, the Rezvani is fully street legal, since it fits in the
lanes.
Could you imagine trying to cut through traffic in one of these...
That’s where the Rezvani shines, while on the outside it provides a perfectly elegant
figure that’s sure to turn some heads around the town, it also comes equipped with military
grade defensive features.
Besides the standard bulletproof armor, it’s packed with night vision scopes, gas masks,
bomb-proof shielding, disorienting strobe lights and it can even throw smoke screens
for quick getaways, like something straight out of a street racer.
And I really do mean quick, the Tank has an absolutely crazy 1000 horsepower under its
hood.
But what’s the point of all that power and security if you’re not driving the pinnacle
of comfort and luxury?
While the specs on the Rezvani read more like an ad for an apocalypse proof bunker, the
inside surpasses the class of most luxury vehicles with more than double its price tag.
MARS ROVER Sure driving around on Earth is cool and all,
but this mechanized miracle is truly out of this world.
It’s good to know that the first astronauts to set foot on another planet will be cruising
the Martian sands in style when they’re behind the wheel of the Mars Rover.
But looks aren’t all this astronomical vehicle has going for it.
The Rover is designed to work as a mobile laboratory to give NASA incredibly detailed
information on the red planet on the move, and can withstand the rocky, untamed surfaces
and wicked sandstorms on Mars without so much as disturbing the driver.
Until NASA’s mandated Martian arrival date of 2033 though, the Rover is confined to Earth
like the rest of us unless you’re watching this video from the ISS, in which case, Hey,
how’s the weather up there?
Being used for educational trips meant to get kids excited for the future of space travel.
If this thing pulled up to my school, I’d definitely get the grades to be an astronaut
when I grew up.
LETRONS Ever wanted a car that’s more than meets
the eye?
While the Letrons might seem like a regular BMW, it’s got a crazy secret hidden inside.
Don’t believe me?
It does hide it well, but just take a look for yourself.
Yeah, it’s a real life transformer, complete with a booming robot voice and fully movable
head and limbs.
This insanely brilliant childhood fantasy for pretty much everyone on the planet was
made by Turkish R&D startup Letivision, to show off their engineering mastery, and well,
they’ve definitely flexed pretty hard with this one.
When on the road Letrons is a fully functional BMW that could be passing you in traffic at
any time, a thought that oughta really make you think twice next time you’re contemplating
cutting someone off.
RANGE ROVER KLASSEN A Range Rover is already a pretty solid status
symbol, but the Range Rover Klassen is on a completely different level.
This incredibly unique car does luxury in two different ways.
At any given time it comes off as any standard Range Rover, but in about 5 seconds flat it
kicks it up a notch, and goes from SUV to personal limousine.
The back of the car literally stretches out like a transformer, converting the back seat
into a fully functional lounging area, complete with 2 extra hidden doors and seats, a full
entertainment system, and probably most important of all, a whole lot of legroom for everyone
on board.
The Klassen is the ultimate hybrid of personal drivability and opulent flexing, and who hasn’t
dreamed of having a car that can transform itself like something out of a cartoon.
HUM RIDER You ever get that feeling when you’re stuck
sitting in traffic wanting to just be able to fly over everyone, and think of how fast
you’d get where you were going?
Well, while we aren’t quite at hover cars yet, the Hum Rider is without a doubt the
best solution you could ever ask for.
This ingenious vehicle is entirely on another level, literally.
At the flick of a switch, the Hum rider is hydraulically lifted up 9 feet in the air,
high enough to just pass right over the majority of other cars.
The wheels are also pushed out the side a bit, so the gap is just wide enough to not
worry about damaging the other cars on the road, because that’s one massive expense
you definitely don’t want.
Sadly this is just a concept car designed to promote Verizon’s hydraulics products,
but that doesn’t take away from how much of a dream come true this elevated ride would
be for anyone’s daily commute.
GXT RAPTOR The GTX Raptor is every gamer’s fantasy
turned reality.
This tricked out truck took years of engineering and design to put together, coming from the
best minds in both the automotive and gaming industries.
While the outside might look impressive with it’s monster truck tires and Trust Gamers
custom grill, but the inside is where it really shines.
Within the Raptor is the ultimate gamer station, ready to play in any way you can imagine with
five top of the line gaming PCs, seven 4K screens built into pretty much every surface
around, two playstation 4 Pros and even a full DJ booth to get hyped for the competition.
An entire gaming station slides out of the back so pro gamers can gear up for a match
anywhere at any time.
The vehicle is meant as a mobile gaming station for both traveling professionals and enthusiasts
at conferences, events and more.
The best part is that now your mom can’t complain about you sitting at home playing
video games all day.
PANTHER WATERCAR You no longer need to be a spy like James
Bond to be able to drive a car on water.
The folks over at Panther did however make sure to keep that slick Bond-esque style in
mind when designing the Watercar, because even on land this vehicle has that Never-before-seen
feel as it passes by.
Retailing at $180 thousand dollars, it’s expensive for a car, but an absolute steal
for a boat.
The only downside?
Having to pay two types of insurance.
It’s absolutely worth it though, when you can circumvent traffic by just cutting through
a bay or canal, and you don’t even need to make any special preparations when you
make the decision to drive right in.
The Panther automatically detects moisture, and shifts from terrain to nautical vehicle
on the spot, and once it does it really rips.
The amphibious vehicle hits speeds of 45 miles per hour on the water, and honestly it looks
totally weird to see a full car skimming across the surface like that, but once you realize
you’re seeing one of the coolest inventions on 4 wheels ever made, you’ll most likely
be dying to take it for a spin.
CARPOOL DE VILLE Out in Canada, two rogue engineering students
took the idea of carpooling to school together a bit too literally, and came up with the
incredibly cool CarPool De Ville.
Both a classic muscle car and a fully functional hot tub, the De Ville is completely unlike
anything the world has ever seen before.
The pair began working on this crazy take on a nautical vehicle while in college, and
spent the next 8 years fine tuning and perfecting the systems until they could easily drive
around while taking a relaxing dip in the tub.
But as if the car wasn’t cool enough as it is, in 2014 the twosome started a kickstarter
campaign to try to raise funds to perfect the project and take the De Ville out to Utah
in order to set the World Record for the fastest hot tub of all time!
Their campaign ended up raising over 11 thousand dollars, more than the amount they needed
to pull off the record attempt, but the event they planned to set their record at was ironically
cancelled on account of rain.
The duo still managed to break the record by successfully driving the CarPool 50 miles
per hour, which is a lot when you have an open, sloshing body of water behind the wheel,
however an official record keeper wasn’t present, so their insanely cool title has
yet to be put into the history books.
