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.

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.
