This 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon Has Been Taken to the Next Level
- Cadillac's CTS-V wagon was one of the brand's wilder production cars. This one takes things further.
- The supercharged V-8 has been upgraded to pump out 700 horsepower, and there's a widebody kit to accommodate the rubber that'll put that power to the ground.
For years, American station wagons trumpeted suburban respectability, family values, and a practical approach to life. Not so much this find from Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos), a wild Cadillac CTS-V wagon that takes the whining and fighting out of the back seat and stuffs it under the hood in the form of a piercing supercharger howl and V-8 thunder. Throw in a widebody kit from Canepa Design, and this is the kind of wagon to have the neighborhood locking their doors and peeking out from behind drawn curtains.
This Incredibly Successful Retro-Style Video Game Just Added a Classic Hyundai Pickup Truck
- Dave the Diver is a deceptively simple game with a retro look that's hugely popular.
- The latest expansion pack takes the titular Dave into the jungle, and he's got a 1976 Hyundai Pony pickup truck to help out with the adventures.
- The Pony has developed something of a cult following in South Korea, despite its humble beginnings.
Automakers doing crossovers with video games isn't a new thing, but generally, the games involve realistic racing. For instance, about 10 years back, Hyundai's N division released a wild fuel-cell-powered racing concept specifically meant to be a playable car in Gran Turismo. In this case, however, we've got a global manufacturer lending a battered old red pickup truck to a plucky aquatic hero who's a bit more beluga than shark.
500-HP Viper-V10-Powered Motorcycle Is Up For Sale If You Dare - Jalopnik
The Dodge Tomahawk always rubbed me the wrong way. It's not the idea of a motorcycle wrapped around an enormous car engine that bothered me, but the fact that it has four wheels. Allen Millyard agreed with that assessment and built a proper two-wheeled, Viper-powered motorcycle of his own. And now, it can be yours, as it's going up for auction at the end of July.
I wouldn't trust just anyone with a one-off custom bike build, especially one built around a Viper engine. At 700 pounds, the engine alone weighs more than many motorcycles, and the entire bike weighs closer to 1,300, according to Silodrome, but this is Allen Millyard we're talking about. I've inspected his work up close at the Barber Museum, and I couldn't even find the seams where he grafted a second cylinder head onto a Kawasaki inline-4 to turn it into a V8. I'd trust his meticulous attention to detail far more than anyone else building motorcycles in a shed.
