Miro’s 1970 ‘World War Z’ Camaro Z28

Old Camaros look best the wider and lower they get, which is good news for Miro and his 1970 Z28. They don’t get lower than this, and I’m sure they don’t come much wider. Cyrious Garageworks is responsible for this particular monster, and I have to say they perfected the ‘stance’ game with ‘World War Z’. The body remains intact, with just the addition of some nice bolt-on fender flares. However, underneath those fender flares rests a set of massive 19×12.5 and 19×13.5 wheels wrapped in equally massive Nitto tires. Combine that with the Ridetech Shockwave stage 2 suspension and you have an excessively aggressive looking second Gen Camaro.

While I typically appreciate a little more ground clearance, I have to admit I really like this Z28. Even though it’s low enough to scrape the headers it can still handle with the best of them, thanks to that snazzy Ridetech suspension. Although it looks like a time attack monster, the ‘World War Z’ is actually a fully functional street car. And I don’t mean that in the ‘gutted racecar that happens to have plates’ kind of way. Miro’s Z has actually been fully Dynamated giving it practical sound deadening. It has also been given a full Alcantara interior, with a full suite of interior accessories to go with it. This Z28 could easily be daily driven. That is as long as there aren’t any speed bumps nearby, and plenty of gas stations. Featuring a supercharged Chevy LT4, the ‘World War Z’ is going to be undoubtedly thirsty. Add a shot of nitrous and you have a thirsty Camaro with 826hp at the wheels. Hell yeah! I have to say, the ‘World War Z’ Camaro is easily one of the best cars to come out of the ‘stance’ scene in quite some time. Who says you can’t have a build that does it all?

The Track1 Off-Road Skateboard

While this might look slightly terrifying, like it’s a prop in science fiction movie, you’re looking at what might be the ultimate electronic off-road skateboard. Fittingly, it’s called the Track1 and it’s built by Flux designs. As you can see, it’s one hell of a design that screams off-road prowess, but this isn’t all form and no function. It has the specs to back it up too.

This one of a kind machine has an expected top speed of just over 20mph thanks to a 5hp electric engine. That should be more than enough to carry up, over, or through just about any sort of terrain that you’d be willing to attempt while riding a skateboard contraption such as this. The layout is similar to what you see on a snowmobile with the large single track providing all the power and upfront sits two knobby off-road tires. That should theoretically make it more stable when you’re mounted atop the high-strength, lightweight deck made out of Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, even still it’s gotta be incredibly difficult to ride and that’s why the creators of the machine also equipped it with a set of handlebars. Flux Designs is currently taking pre-orders on Indiegogo if you want one. But be prepared to spend a pretty penny to get it, $2,500 to be exact.

Koenigsegg 1090 Motorcycle Concept

Who doesn’t want a motorcycle built by the fastest car company in the world? I know I would. That’s why these renderings from Maksim Burov are so enticing. Koenigsegg just shattered 5 world speed records with their mighty Agera RS, and now we get to have our minds shattered by the idea of a Swedish based motorcycle. The only problem, this concept isn’t from Koenigsegg. Instead, this is a rendering from world-renowned designer, Maksim Burov.

The 1090 concept is Burov’s best dissection of what a Koenigsegg motorcycle could actually look like, and I absolutely love it. Burov has been fascinated with the idea of a Swedish born motorcycle for some time, producing several renderings in the past. But there is something about this ‘1090’ that we can’t get over, and it’s likely the realism to its design. This design could easily be produced, making it entirely functional. Only drawback is the fact that it is quite unlikely to share the same speed pedigree as their road cars. While it may not be Kawasaki H2R fast, it does look quite stunning. The rendering appears to be based on some type of V-twin. But to me, the ‘1090’ would be better served with a modern liter-bike powertrain, which is never down on power. I particularly love the Borla exhaust, as well as YSS suspension. Here’s to hoping Koenigsegg notices just how cool a bike could actually be.

Experiencing Alaska Via Toyota FJ62 Land Cruiser

Alaska, the last frontier. It seems like the one place in this country where you can go and experience the real wild. It’s not for the faint of heart, nor is it for a weak vehicle. That’s what makes the FJ62 Land Cruiser the perfect rig for tackling such hardcore terrain. The FJ62 Land Cruiser has been well established as one of the most popular overlanding vehicles in the world. It’s capable, spacious, reliable, and most importantly it’s drop-dead gorgeous. Throw in a dog and a trip to the north, and you have the ingredients for an epic adventure.

John Montesi did just that. Starting in rural Texas Montesi set out to find adventure, and the end goal was somewhere in the wild of Alaska. The trip took him through the heart of North America, seeing many incredible sights along the way. The FJ62 is possibly the best companion you could ask for, after the dog of course. The mighty Toyota has long been considered one of the most overbuilt SUV’s to come to market, making it incredibly resilient. The 4-liter inline-six is anything but powerful, yet it boasts a reliability record that is unmatched. It also produces a consistent 220lb-ft of torque, making it enough to haul around all your goods. Combine that with a basic yet functional 4×4 system, and enough space for all your adventure gear, and you have yourself a go anywhere machine. The FJ was Montesi’s home for the trip, providing shelter and transportation all in one package, showcasing just how perfect the FJ62 really is. I mean, just check out these pictures that John has captured along the way.
