Hot Wheels makes a glow in the dark Camaro

Hot Wheels’ real life stunt department has been keeping itself lately, by not only putting together a pretty badass 22 minute stunt reel (video below), but also creating the world’s first glow in the dark Camaro.

YOU CAN’T PARK HERE

Real life Dark Knight Tumbler to compete in the Gumball 3000 rally

At the low, low price of only $1.6 million, a group of car enthusiasts built this completely road legal version of Batman’s Tumbler vehicle from the Dark Knight to compete in this year’s Gumball 3000 rally. These guys will always be winners in my book.

It’s Spock vs. Spock in this awesome Audi ad

There is just so much to love here. So much Leonard Nimoy, so much everything.

8 Unusual Amphibious Vehicles

An amphibious vehicle (or simply amphibian), is a vehicle that is a means of transport, viable on land as well as on water. Amphibious vehicles include amphibious bicycles, ATVs, cars, buses, trucks, military vehicles, and hovercraft.

Team gets penalized at 24 Hours of Lemons, has to make a Harlem Shake video

This is probably the best use of the Harlem Shake meme yet— a team at the 24 Hours of Lemons race spun out for the third time and were penalized by being forced to make this Harlem Shake video. This should be a punishment in every sport.

New Rolls Royce will use GPS to make sure the car is always in the right gear

Automatic cars are pretty convenient, but they’re not the best for performance. The new Rolls-Royce Wraith however, will use its GPS to know what the road ahead looks like, whether it’s a hill or a turn, to adjust the transmission accordingly.

Daily Discussion: Your dream car

If money was no object, what would the car you would have to own, whether it’s to drive or just show off or for taking the kids to school in serious style?

Guy in a Subaru Impreza does a 360 on an icy road to pass another car

I hope the guy filming was beeping because THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME, not because he was being a dick.

Check out Lamborghini’s new sex machine, the Veneno

Lamborghini’s got a new set of wheels, and the Veneno doesn’t hold back in power or in styling. All the absurd fins and angles and crazy vents and spikes are reminiscent of the old Countach. It also has a 750 hp 6.5 liter V12 that pushes the car up to 220 and from 0-62 in just under 3 seconds.

Meet the Urbee, an incredibly lightweight 3D printed car.

Kor used the design freedom of 3-D printing to combine a typical car’s multitude of parts into simple unibody shapes. For example, when he prints the car’s dashboard, he’ll make it with the ducts already attached without the need for joints and connecting parts. What would be dozens of pieces of plastic and metal end up being one piece of 3-D printed plastic.

“The thesis we’re following is to take small parts from a big car and make them single large pieces,” Kor says. By using one piece instead of many, the car loses weight and gets reduced rolling resistance, and with fewer spaces between parts, the Urbee ends up being exceptionally aerodynamic.” How aerodynamic? The Urbee 2′s teardrop shape gives it just a 0.15 coefficient of drag.

From the pictures, it appears to have only three wheels, so I think ‘enclosed coffin-trike’ might outshine ‘car’ as a descriptor.

This is Volkwagen’s sexy as hell 261mpg hybrid of the future

Electric/gas hybrids are starting to infiltrate the car market in a big way, and Volkwagen’s XL1 is ready for production, ready to give you 261 miles to the gallon, and ready to blow your mind with car sexiness. Okay, so the back looks kinda like an old EV1, but the front… wow.

Seattle news station tests three people’s driving abilities on weed

Seattle-based KIRO-TV set up a driving course and had three stoned volunteers take a driving test to “show what stoned driving looks like and the danger on the road.” The drivers first got high on the marijuana strain, Blueberry Trainwreck, and then got behind the wheel.

tl;dw: All three people ended up with waaaaay more THC in their system than the legal limit and still drove mostly fine. Slow, but fine.
