Take a car (or truck, or motorcycle, or Hummer, or R/C car, or whatever), paint it matte black (to reduce glare), add in aftermarket performance upgrades, elaborate electronics, exotic materials, and gyro-stabilizers, and what do you get?
Camera cars, that’s what.
Oobject has put together a list of 12 of the coolest movie industry camera cars to date, including those from Pursuit Systems, AP Cam Cars, Go Stunts and more, and it’s a must see if you’d enjoy a look behind the scenes of some of your favorite on screen automotive moments.
For many automotive manufacturers, the transition from four wheels to two is a natural extension of their brand, which is why many bikes bear the familiar logos and nomenclature of our more typical forms of transportation.
From Cadillac cruisers to folding Hummer mountain bikes that were originally designed for paratroopers, Motive has put together a list of the best bikes for the automotive enthusiast who just can’t get enough of their car from behind the wheel.
The Hummer HX concept is one truck that I would love to see make it to the showroom floor without getting smoothed over by the penny pinchers at GM.
Designed to be a Jeep Wrangler competitor, the HX features a 3.6-liter SIDI E85 FlexFuel engine, four wheel drive, a six-speed automatic transmission, and a modular roof that can be opened convertible style.
Considering the fact that the styling isn’t too far off when compared to the current H2 and H3, I can only hope that this is a nearly-there preview of the H4 to come.
