Don’t you just love it when your car can do something other cars can only dream about doing, like, say, drive underwater?
This particular modified Hummer put its ‘swimming’ skills to the test as it drove head on into a river, completely submerging itself in the process. At one point, you can’t even see the Hummer, except for the exhaust sticking out like a snorkeling tube.
We’re pretty sure that his Hummer will come in pretty handy, especially during the wet weather season when floods begin to occur regularly.
Now if only there was a way to have more cars be able to drive effortlessly underwater.
Peter Colello has revealed at SEMA Show an innovative Scion xB. The car is painted in a Teal Blue Pearl and a 9-piece wide-body kit.
The customized car includes lots of carbon-fiber in the hood, hatch, wing and custom roof, and a color motif of teal to tie the exterior together. The car’s performance is being improved thanks to a new turbo kit, air-ride suspension, TRD exhaust, and an over-the-top in-car entertainment system, one of Colello’s signatures.
The great thing about SEMA that other auto shows can’t boast of is that you can find vehicles that are so out of the ordinary it begs for more than a few double takes. Take this truck from Dunkel Industries for example.
In as many words: it’s huge!
We don’t know whether this one’s for the books, but we do know that at 32 ft long, almost 9 ft wide, and 12 ft tall, it ranks right up there among the short list of enormous trucks that have made an appearance at SEMA. Dunkel Industries calls it the Luxury 4x4 (duh!) and if you take a closer look, you’ll notice that it’s a hybrid of a pick-up truck and an RV that has been fused together. By using a Ford F-650/F-750 chassis on the Luxury 4x4, Dunkel Industries was able to make a truck so big it really has no need for a trailer anymore.
Chevrolet revealed at the SEMA Show the E-ROD concept vehicle. It is a fully restored 1955 Chevy powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 E-Rod engine that delivers 430 hp and 424 lb.-ft. of torque. List price for the LS3 E-ROD package is $9,375.
The exterior wears factory-style chrome Bel Air trim, which accents the custom PPG colors applied by GM. On the inside, the E-ROD ’55 has an original-style appearance, with upholstery and other restoration items supplied by CARS Inc. The only noticeable variances include an IDIDIT adjustable steering column and Grand steering wheel.
The Volkswagen Scirocco is for sure a very sporty car, with a great design. But even the most sporty car can get even sportier with the right tuning package. MR Car Design has reveled the special edition Scirocco Black Rocco that also adds a new design package, but also improves the car’s performances.
Thanks to an ECU upgrade, a MR Car Design Stage 3 turbo kit and a new custom exhaust system the 2.0 liter engine delivers a total of 370 hp and 519 Nm of torque. The tuner also added a Stoptech high performance brake system with the Stahlbus bleeding valve and KW V3-coilovers.
Outside the car receives a new front apron, side skirts and rear valance accretion with diffuser optics and also 20 inch 1-part Emotion Wheels aluminum rims with Hankook tires.
