Bentley Continental GT Ultratank

You can get a Bentley Continental GT with nearly any option you can dream up — but as of this writing, tank treads are not one of them. Russian YouTubers AcademeG had to find the cheapest used Continental GT they could find to pull off their Continental GT Ultratank, the only tank you could get away with driving to the golf course. Their pre-owned Bentley needed new turbos and a list of repairs for its W12, but the body and interior were excellent, which was all they needed. The frame and drivetrain were ditch for a custom tube steel and 4.3-liter Toyota V8. The engine connects to an open differential that sends power to one set of tracks while stopping the other via steering wheel inputs. This means the Ultratank steers and accelerates like a car — with the exception of not currently having any sort of braking system. There's still work to be done, but this project is shaping up to be one of the best custom Bentleys ever.

Range Rover Astronaut Edition

You'll have to be part of a very exclusive group to get your hands on the Range Rover Astronaut Edition. The Future Astronauts — a group of some 600 people signed up to go to suborbital space with Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic — will be the only people eligible to purchase the Astronaut Edition. Starting with the Autobiography Edition, Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations created a rich Zero Gravity Blue for the exterior, inspired by the night sky. Aluminum door handles are engraved with the Virgin Galactic constellation logo, lighting that projects the image of SpaceShipTwo, and Astronaut Edition badging throughout. Inside, the SpaceShipTwo graphic is one the headrests, and the center console features engravings of the history of flight, starting with Icarus. The cupholders even feature two discs, one made from the landing skids of the first Virgin Galactic craft to reach orbit, and the other to be changed out for one made from the skids of the craft the owner reached space in.

MS-RT Ford Transit Connect Van

Ford has a long history in rally racing, from the original Escort to the Focus. One thing Ford has never raced is vans, and Welsh company MS-RT fixing that problem with its Ford Transit Connect. The rally-inspired makeover turns the Transit into something that would be at home on a WRC course, with bronze-colored 18-inch wheels and an aggressive, flared body kit. 40 Launch Edition Transit Connects kick off the line, featuring Magnetic Grey paint and a custom interior. Deliveries start in September 2019.

2020 Overfinch SuperSport SUV

Overfinch has been building bespoke Land and Range Rovers for almost 50 years and their SuperSport promises to be their best work yet. Starting with the Range Rover Sport SVR, Overfinch will be building 25 SuperSports, and no two will be the same. Increased performance is provided by an in-house design titanium exhaust and a carbon fiber intake, offering a substantial boost to the 575 horsepower, supercharged V8. Two different 22-inch forged Legerro wheel designs are available, and a herringbone weave carbon fiber hood and exterior trim come standard. The interior features carbon fiber-backed seats with a quilted leather seating surface with SuperSport badging and a numbered plaque. A wealth of customization options for every aspect of the SuperSport are available, making all 25 a one-of-one creation.

1972 Land Rover Series III

Impeccably clean with just the right amount of patina — this 1972 Land Rover Series III is a restoration done right. Rovers North performed the work, and finding a flaw in their work is next to impossible. The exterior wears Marine Blue paint over the aluminum bodywork and white steel wheels, all mounted on a new galvanized chassis that solves one of vintage Land Rovers biggest problems: rust. This Series III has it's original 2.25-liter motor with just over 24,000 miles on the clock, and the interior is just it was when it left the factory. Details like wire cages over the lights, a huge tugboat rope around the bumper, and a hood-mounted spare tire capture the adventure aesthetic that made Land Rover famous.

1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 SUV

Working on a project car can be fun — and an exercise in frustration. Sometimes it's better to let someone else do all the work and just enjoy the rewards, and this 1971 Toyota FJ40 is a perfect example. Built to be driven, the FJ40 comes equipped with Old Man Emu lift kit and BF Goodrich tires on steel wheels. The legendary 3.9-liter 1F inline-six has been completely rebuilt and a new Weber carburetor installed, and the body and frame were stripped to bare metal before repainting. The interior has a spray-in liner and marine carpeting along with aftermarket sport-style bucket seats. With all the work that has gone into it, this Land Cruiser is ready for the next adventure.

Mil-Spec Hummer H1 06 SUV

The AM General H1 was built for military service and the production version didn't stray from its original purpose. One of the most capable vehicles ever produced, Detroit-based Mil-Spec takes the H1 to another level in terms of performance and bespoke customization. Their latest model, #006, started with a slant-back H1. The first step was completely tearing down the 1996 four-door, removing every nut and bolt and restoring it to better-than-factory specs. The frame was strengthened and body panels replaced with aircraft-grade aluminum. The original motor was replaced with a rebuilt 6.6-liter Duramax diesel tuned for 500 horsepower and 1,000 lb-ft of torque backed up by an Allison six-speed automatic transmission. If you're looking for the ultimate version of the H1, this is it.

2020 Land Rover Defender SUV

Debuted in heavily-disguised form last year, the all-new 2020 Defender has reached a key milestone: 1.2 million kilometers of on- and off-road testing. Land Rover's reboot retains a boxy silhouette, with a curved front end that ties it to the rest of the family. Land Rover isn't skimping on the Defender's legendary off-road capability, with the company boasting that it will be their toughest model yet — quite a claim considering their history. Able to operate in temperatures from -40 to 120 degrees and at altitudes above 13,000 feet, the prototype will now be put to work towing, wading, and carrying supplies at the Borana Conservancy in Kenya to support vital conservation work. A full reveal will come later this year, with the production version hitting American shores in 2020. It's going to be a long wait.

Land Serwis Land Rover Defender Series I SUV

Land Rover is rebooting the Defender after production stopped in 2016. The only option for fans of the model to get their hands on one was to a find used Defender — until now. Based in Krakow, Poland, Land Serwis is one of four companies in the world that has the plans and tooling to build the original Series I Defender, and they're starting production now. Land Serwis adds modern manufacturing methods, including laser-cut frame members made from thicker steel than the original and galvanizes the pieces to prevent rust. This means that a customer can build the bespoke Defender of their dreams, with almost any option inside the realm of possibility. The best part? The Land Serwis starts at only $67,000, with the downside being that you can't get them in the US.

2019 SVE GMC Syclone Truck

In 1991, General Motors released one of the fastest vehicles it had ever made. It wasn't the Corvette ZR-1, although the King of the Hill had a faster top speed. It was the GMC Syclone, based on the Sonoma small pickup. With a turbocharged 4.3-liter V6 and all-wheel-drive, the Syclone thundered from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, a second faster than a Ferrari Testarossa. Now Special Vehicle Engineering is bringing the Syclone back based on the two- and four-wheel-drive versions of the GMC Canyon. The centerpiece of the Syclone is a supercharged 3.6-liter V6 making 455 horsepower with a completely upgraded suspension and brakes to reign in all that power. Six-piston calipers replace the stock units, and the ride height is lowered two inches in the front and five inches in the rear. The truck rides on twenty-inch wheels and high-performance tires and the interior is redone with new seats and trim. Only 100 will be made, compared to the 2,995 original Syclones.

New Legend x Iron & Resin 1978 Jeep Wagoneer SUV

New Legend 4x4 is an expert in the art of the restomod, specializing in thoroughly modern chassis and running gear wrapped in vintage International Scout bodywork. This collaboration with design house Iron & Resin marks the start of something a little different — applying New Legend's expertise to the classic Jeep Wagoneer. A modern 5.3-liter LS V8 replaces the original AMC unit, with rebuilt axles, new brakes, a 3" suspension lift, and reliable air conditioning. Iron & Resin worked their magic on the interior, covering the seats in Horween leather, waxed canvas, and Del Sol diamond serape trim. The result is a truck that looks like it just emerged from a time capsule — with the best of today's mechanicals to get you anywhere you want to go.

Zero Labs Electric Ford Bronco SUV

Ford's planned Bronco revamp is still in the works, and interest in the first generation Bronco is at an all-time high, with shops modernizing the platform in a variety of resto-modded models. Zero Labs is taking a different approach to restoring Broncos with an all-electric version built on an original chassis. With the exception of the grille-less front end, the body is instantly recognizable, but that's where the similarities stop. A 70 kWh lithium-ion battery pack mates up to a BorgWarner electric motor, providing 369 horsepower and 190 miles of range. Being a Bronco, part- and full-time four-wheel-drive is on hand, and almost unheard of in an electric vehicle, a five-speed manual transmission equipped. A number of modern materials are used throughout the truck, with aluminum and carbon fiber making up the body, and top-shelf components from Fox, Brembo, Atlas, and filling out the suspension and drivetrain. Only 150 first edition Broncos will be made, and Zero Labs is taking reservations now.

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV

The largest car in Mercedes-Benz' lineup is getting even bigger with the all-new 2020 GLS. The full-size SUV gets a 2.4-inch longer wheelbase that allows for bucket seats in the second row. Backseat passengers also get a tablet to themselves for controlling entertainment and comfort functions, and two large touchscreens are there for the driver and front seat passenger. New V8 and straight-six engines come with Mercedes' new 48-volt electric assist for more horsepower and torque when needed, improving power and mileage over the previous model. The new GLS will arrive in the US towards the end of 2019.

2020 Lincoln Corsair SUV

Lincoln is completing the revamp of its luxury SUV lineup with the crossover Corsair. Doubling down on noise, vibration, and harshness, the all-new Corsair rides on a suspension that is designed to directly absorb bumps and impacts before they get to the cabin. Two engine options will be available on launch — a 2.0-liter turbocharged four with 250 horsepower and 2.3-liter with 280 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The Corsair comes packed with tech, including Phone as Key via a companion Lincoln app, parking assist, adaptive cruise control, and assisted reverse. Pricing hasn't been announced, but the Corsair should arrive at dealers later in 2019.

Volkswagen Atlas Basecamp Concept SUV

Volkswagen is showing off the flexibility of its three-row crossover with the Basecamp concept. Models like the iconic Bug and Microbus established VW as the go-to car for getaway road tripping, and this decked-out SUV continues that tradition. The Atlas Basecamp has VW's 4Motion all-wheel-drive and a 1.5-inch suspension lift for getting off the road, LED lighting, and a roof rack capable of carrying two bicycles. The centerpiece of the package is the compact HIVE EX. Featuring a queen-size bed, the off-road trailer also has a kitchenette with stove, refrigerator, sink, pull-out canopy, and matching wheels and tires. With the Atlas Basecamp, the road is calling — and Volkswagen is answering.

2015 Land Rover Defender SVX Spectre SUV

It's exceedingly rare for a stunt car from a movie to survive and end up in the hands of the public — especially when it was part of the most expensive stunt in movie history. This 2015 Land Rover Defender was modified by British company Bowler for a part in the 24th James Bond film Spectre. 10 black Defender 110 crew-cabs were built for the Austrian mountaintop chase scene, with each one getting 37-inch tires, roll cages, strengthened frames, and for this one, in particular, a hydraulic system to launch the truck into a roll when struck by a plane piloted by Bond. The stunt went off perfectly, bending the frame of the Defender in the process. The Defender is in the exact condition it was in immediately after the stunt, which means it can't be driven on the street — but a piece of British memorabilia like this is meant to be displayed.

1993 Land Rover Defender 130 Truck

Thanks to the 25-year import rule in the US, all kinds of foreign gems are now able to be imported — including this recent arrival Land Rover Defender truck. It was bought by the seller from a Spanish farmer in 1998 and lived in the Canary Islands until being imported to the US in late in 2018. The truck has just over 71,000 miles and is an original left-hand-drive model. A recent refresh includes a repainted Alpine White exterior, fender flares, distressed leatherette interior, roof rack, winch, and snorkel. A 2.5-liter turbodiesel inline-four runs through a five-speed manual and two-speed transfer case, with all running gear in excellent, ready-to-drive condition. You won't need a trailer to drive this back home from its Florida location.

Bentayga V8 Design Series SUV

Every Bentley can be tailored exactly to the buyer's tastes, but that didn't stop the company from creating a limited-edition trim level that enhances the interior and exterior of the Bentayga V8. Called the Design Series, the package adds new flourishes while drawing from Bentley's Mulliner line. Palladium Grey Paragon alloy wheels carry self-levelling wheel emblems that keep the stylized B vertical, even at triple-digit speeds. Body-colored bumpers and exterior trim pieces are now black, with gloss-black tailpipes, emblems, and badges. The interior is available in four colors with Beluga hide seating surfaces and carbon fiber trim. The 542 horsepower, twin-turbo V8 remains untouched along with the SUVs superb chassis.

Ariel Atom Nomad Tactical Buggy

Ariel is best known for the Atom, a flyweight, tube-framed car that is capable of slaying supercars that cost four times as much. The Nomad tactical buggy uses the lessons learned in the development of the Atom for a totally new offroad experience. Starting with a mid-mounted, 230 horsepower Honda K-series four-cylinder, Ariel wraps the engine in a high-strength frame and fully independent suspension. A six-speed manual puts power to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential, and an ultra-light 1,750-pound curb weight helps the Nomad go from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Adjustable remote reservoir shocks effortlessly soak bumps while keeping handling in a realm known only for high-level sports cars. While it isn't the most practical offroad vehicle you can buy, if serious offroading is your passion, the Nomad is about the best you can get.

Karlmann King SUV

Not only does it have stealth bomber-inspired looks, the Karlmann King also has a stealth bomber price. While it looks like military hardware on the outside, inside, the King is as luxurious as its name implies. A retractable TV, fridge, ambient lighting, pop-out tables, and even a Nespresso machine are at your fingertips. But all that luxury comes at the price of weight — over 13,000 pounds — so even with Ford F550 underpinnings and a 6.8L V10 engine, the King tops out at 87 MPH. Excell Auto Group of Boca Raton, Florida, is taking orders for the Karlmann King. Each one is made-to-order in Italy with no option off the table, including ballistic armor plating — just what one would expect from the most expensive SUV ever.

2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe

Porsche is adding another model to its Cayenne SUV lineup — adding a "coupe" with a sloping fastback-style roofline. While it has four doors, meaning it's not actually a coupe, the Cayenne's sloping roofline fits in perfectly with traditional Porsche styling. Porsche's adaptive aerodynamics come standard with the Coupe, adding a retractable spoiler that increases traction at the rear wheels while reducing front axle lift. In addition to its normally-aspirated six cylinder, the Cayenne Coupe also comes in Turbo guise, adding a twin-turbo V8 and a healthy dose of performance. Even better than the exterior is the interior, with a new scheme that adds a houndstooth pattern insert to the seats. The Cayenne Coupe will come standard with 20-inch wheels and Porsche's active suspension, making this new Cayenne one of the sportiest SUVs you can buy.

1983 Land Rover V8 SUV

It's well-known in style circles that you can't go wrong with a touch of black. Lisbon-based customizers Cool & Vintage have taken that mantra to the extreme with their latest creation, an all-black, V8-powered 1983 Land Rover. 1983 was the first year of Defender production, although the model wouldn't carry the Defender name until 1990. A complete teardown resulted in Fox suspension, LED lighting, and a black canvas top. A wireless Marshall sound system keeps the best-of-Britain vibe and goes perfectly with the new black leather interior. Fully restored and ready to drive, this piece of British motoring history is ready for its next home.

Land Rover Defender MDX-Expeditionsmobil SUV

You might think that nearly everything that can be done to a Land Rover Defender has been done — but you'd be wrong. German Land Rover dealer Matzker built this custom long-wheelbase Defender for extended stays in the great outdoors, equipping it with a popup camper. A two-burner stove, sleeping and sitting areas, and restroom provide all the accommodations you'll need for the trip. To make sure you get there and back again, the Defender is equipped with a 2.2-liter td4, front winch on a heavy-duty bumper, and roof rack with LED lighting. Although the Defender MDX-Expeditionsmobil is a one-off project, it's a great blueprint for building your own.

Tesla Model Y SUV

Tesla's "S3XY" model range is now complete. Built on the Model 3 platform but with room for seven, the Tesla Model Y is aimed squarely at the mid-sized crossover SUV market. Its spartan interior borrows heavily from the Model 3, including the panoramic glass roof and 15-inch central touchscreen control display, while offering 66 cubic feet of cargo room and, of course, Autopilot. Battery range varies from 230 to a class-leading 300 miles depending on the model, with 0-60 acceleration falling from 5.9 to 3.5 seconds. The Long Range RWD, Long Range AWD, and Performance models will launch in the fall of 2020, while the more affordable Standard Range model will follow in 2021.

Brabus 800 Widestar SUV

Brabus wasted no time giving Mercedes' all-new G-Class its signature touch, rolling out the Brabus 700 Widestar only a few months after the SUVs debut. As good as the 700 Widestar is, it wasn't enough, because Brabus has now unleashed the 800 Widestar. The 800 Widestar leapfrogs the 700 with 100 more horsepower and 40 lb-ft of torque for a total of 789 and 740 respectively — in other words, this G-Class packs stats that put it in supercar territory. 0-60 happens in 4.1 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 149 MPH, which is a good idea in a boxy SUV like this. A nine-speed transmission with aluminum paddles handles shifting duties, and the interior is exactly what one would expect from Brabus — top-quality quilted leather and a tasteful smattering of Brabus logos. The exterior is similar to the 700 Widestar with LED lighting and plenty of carbon fiber. The only thing left to wonder is where Brabus goes from here.

2019 Hennessey VelociRaptor Ranger Truck

Hennessey is taking the lessons learned from 10 years of tuning Ford's F-150 Raptor and applying that to Ford's new Ranger. The VelociRaptor starts with the 2.3-liter Ecoboost engine, increasing horsepower from the stock 270 to 350 thanks to ECU programming, a higher-flowing intake, and stainless steel exhaust. Hennessey's Stage 1 offroad package comes next, lifting the truck four inches with new shocks, springs, and custom Hennessey 17-inch wheels, bringing the total height increase to six inches over stock. The exterior gets upgrades with a steel bumper with integrated LED lights and optional winch. Just 500 Ranger VelociRaptors will be made for 2019. Hennessey will either upgrade your current Ranger or sell you the entire upgraded truck, ready to drive.

2020 Range Rover Sentinel Armored SUV

There are plenty of firms out there that will build you an armored vehicle, but Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations has been building armored versions of its SUVs for several years. The Sentinel takes the latest Range Rover Autobiography and adds armor plating and a full suite of safety features and gadgets that would make Britan's own 007 proud. Composite and steel armor plating provides protection from small arms fire and explosive devices in accordance with international standards. That adds over 2,200 pounds to the SUV, but a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 and upgraded suspension and brakes help offset some of the weight gains. A public address system and run-flat tires allow for driving on damaged rubber for over 30 miles at speeds of up to 50 MPH. For those with a dangerous daily commute, the Range Rover Sentinel offers world-class luxury and protection.
