Crazy

Whatever's in the water down in Florida, we want some. As ridiculously awesome as it is awesomely ridiculous, the Shadow Six Typhoon places a UTV body on top of a pair of high-performance jet skis, creating the world's first "aquatic utility vehicle."

Florida company Apocalypse 6x6 has found a niche for itself, taking the most offensively massive Yank tanks on the market, expanding them in all directions and adding more wheels. Its latest machine, the Juggernaut, rolls like an anti-Cybertruck.

Ukrainian YouTuber Sergeii Gordieiev, AKA "The Q," has gone and done a very YouTubey thing indeed, rigging up a bicycle to ride with two half-wheels instead of a single rear wheel. Why? Well, because it looks absolutely bizarre rolling down the road.

Ah, those magnificent men in their flying machines. They go up, diddly-up-up. They go down, diddly-own-down. French sky-surfer and Green Goblin lookalike Franky Zapata went down diddly-own-down in frightening fashion at an airshow on the weekend.

If you own the world's fastest car, you might as well open the throttle now and then. Dentist-cum-entrepreneur Dr. Larry Caplan has stuck a gumboot into his SSC Tuatara and recorded a top speed just shy of the fabled 300 mph mark – on a short track.

Red Bull's extreme stunts are legendary, and Plane Swap promises to be right up there with the greatest. Two pilots will jump out of their planes, leaving them pilotless and plummeting, and attempt to skydive across and save each other's aircraft.

The Swincar still ranks as one of the most magnificently weird and wonderful vehicles I've seen in nearly 15 years writing for New Atlas, and this ditch-straddling electric oddity is now available in street-legal tandem and mobility versions.

African startup Phractyl has shown us a concept unlike anything we've seen before – or are likely to see again, if we're honest. With tracked feet, bird legs, a tilting cabin and tilting wings, this avant-garde absurdity promises "near-VTOL" flight.

Meet Hennessey's first electric: a 2,400-horsepower, six-wheel-drive, hyper-land yacht called Project Deep Space, featuring the world's biggest gull-wing door and a 4-seat, diamond-layout cabin that's ... shall we say, likely to remain unique!

Strap in, petrolheads, I promise you've never seen a crankshaft remotely like this one before. The spec sheet and bizarrely organic-looking design of this 3-D printed Greek widowmaker are almost as wild a ride as the 3,000-horsepower beast itself.

Shocking, as in we're shocked a car company would release footage this bad. But UAE hypercar company Devel has a legit 5,000-horsepower, 12.8 liter V16 engine, multiple prototypes, and now a super-lame test video of this spectacularly audacious machine.

New Atlas was at Snake River Canyon five years ago when Eddie Braun spectacularly finished the terrifying rocket bike jump that nearly killed Evel Knievel. The event is now a gorgeous documentary on Disney+, and we sat down with Braun to reminisce.
