  • X-Men: Apocalypse is here and so are the cars of your favorite characters! Check them out!

    Wolverine Driving 1988 Toyota Hilux The “X-Men: Apocalypse” is probably one of the most awaited superhero movies this year and we are all hoping it is not a huge disappointment like “Batman vs. Superman”. The premiere of blockbuster-to-be movie is happening now and the hype is extremely huge. This was probably the reason for the appearance of these interesting renderings, which show what car models would the superheroes of X-Men drive. We would love to know your opinion about them, so make sure you leave a comment below. Is there anything unexpected you see or would you offer a better car for any of the characters?

    Wolverine Driving the Nasty Toyota Hilux from 1988

    If you have thought that the Wolverine would go for anything smaller, you would be wrong. The 1988 Toyota Hilux seems the perfect car for him with its rugged appearance and go-anywhere capabilities. In fact, in this rendering it almost looks indestructible… just like the protagonist played by Hugh Jackman.

    As you can see, this Hilux isn’t ordinary, but it has a few extra features to help Wolverine in his duties. These include huge and custom-made wheels and retractable blades, which give him the strength and ferocity to destroy the enemies.

    Magneto Driving a BMW M6 Coupe

    Magneto Driving a BMW M6 Coupe

    Any questions? Who would say anything else if this is the choice of the mighty Magneto. The character played by Michael Fassbender has chosen the beautiful maroon BMW M6 Coupe, which looks almost as stylish and sexy as he does. The slick high-speed car jumps to 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in mere 3.9 seconds, so he will have no trouble escaping any hard situation.

    In this render, the body of the car is made from the same material as the helmet he wears, thus increasing his resistance to any incoming telepathy. In addition, he will sit behind a bulled prove glass (not that he needs it) and will ride his BMW on superior wheels.

    Mystique’s Blue Skinned BMW i8

    Jennifer Lawrence is playing Mystique, and her character has chosen the electric BMW i8. Made of carbon-fiber, she’s even faster, more agile and ready to make her enemies regret that they are alive. With blue scaly skin and flashing yellow headlights her i8 is almost as beautiful as she is.

    Charles Xavier Has Chosen the Tesla Model X

    Charles Xavier Driving Tesla Model X

    There is no other car than Tesla’s Model X that is perfect for Charles Xavier. James McAvoy’s character is science genius, who can not drive anything less than a vehicle made by a genius (like Elon Musk). He will also have no trouble accessing his spacious car, because of its double rear door entry. Sitting behind bullet proof windows he will manage the important duties and control the actions of the X-Men team.

    Apocalypse’s Mercedes-AMG 63 6×6

    Apocalypse is the longest survivor of all the X-Men and this is why the vehicle chosen for this character is the six-wheeled Mercedes-AMG 63 6×6. Each Armour panel of this machine is intricately designed in art from another age. With these exaggerated wheels, the X-Men are set to destroy or finally save the world!

    Cyclops Has Chosen the Shelby Mustang GT350R

    It is not a surprise that the Cyclops has chosen the Shelby Mustang GT350R because he has always been a fan of the Shelby American. This particular render envisions the GT350R with super speed and lightweight carbon fibre wheels, visor windscreen and automatic headlamps which double up as red optic blasts.

    Jean Grey’s Cute Volvo XC90

    Jean Grey Driving Volvo XC90

    Jean Grey is played by one of the Game of Thrones’ cast, Sophie Turner (playing Sansa Stark). We are sure that she will make a fantastic role in these series, too. Her Jean Grey character is envisioned in the renderings driving a cute Volvo XC90, which also has unexpected capabilities. Because of the traumatizing memory of her sister’s death caused by a car accident, she has chosen the safest of brands. In addition, her XC90 also sports bullet proof windows and an inbuilt cerebro in the windshield.

    So, what do you think?

  • Shelby Mustang GT350 and GT350R Getting Stronger with 526HP [videos]

    Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 and GT350R are going to get stronger due to one single fact: they are getting Ford’s 5.2-liter V8 engine. This one is in fact the most power-dense naturally aspirated road-going engine that the company has ever produced. It is also regarded as Ford’s highest-revving production V8 with a redline of 8,250 rpm.

    To be more precise, the 5.2-liter flat-plane crankshaft V8 pumps out 526 horsepower (389 kW) at 7,500 rpm and 532 Nm (429 lb.-ft.) at 4,750 rpm, and it will be powering only the two Shelby models. The unit is not only the most powerful naturally aspirated one, but also it is the most efficient… Or at least in terms of specific output. It generates 102 horsepower per liter of displacement.

    The design of this new V8 was improved with the help of computer-aided engineering and digital performance simulations. The optimal combination was achieved after millions of intake, cam and exhaust configurations were made.

    Usually, the cross-plane crankshaft V8 engines have their piston-carrying connecting rods attached to the crankshaft at 90-degree intervals. Unlike this in the new engine, the angle is changed to 180-degree.

    The first noticeable result is the change of the characteristic sound of an American V8. The next one is the improved cylinder exhaust-pulse separation, that also enhances engine’s breathing, thus allowing it to produce more power.

    Both Shelby GT350 and GT350R will get the 5.2-liter unit mated to a TR-3160 six-speed manual transmission as an only option. It was specifically engineered for less mass and high-rpm application.

    The unique Ford 5.2-liter V8 engine is scheduled to go on sale this fall. And here you can check out how it sounds, because this “noise” will be soon terrorizing tracks around the country.
