Next up in the pantheon of Russian crazy that is rapidly becoming a Sunshine hallmark is the absolutely Mad whip above.

This twin-turbo "Gladkov" edition Lada first appeared on Autoblog last week, and perhaps they said it best: "Most of our crew aren't digging the scissor doors, but the intercooler-as-grille idea, well, that's just inspired. And the twin-turbo powertrain? Boffo."

FYI:
This is what it looked like BEFORE.

This would have been SO PERFECT for Godzilla theme week - ARGH!

This R35 - painted in the same gorgeous R34 blue that made the that car a Gran Turismo favorite - is so splediffic and sectacutastic, in fact, that I may just make every week Godzilla theme week!

Of course, if I did that, I'd be the GTR Blog, and there's already that (Hi, Kris!).

Recently, I posted an item about an incredible (albeit, virtual) post-apocalyptic jet-powered buggy titled "Screw Batman, and His Wussy Tumbler". Even though it wasn't fully real, I truly thought it would be years before I saw something so unspeakably badass again.

I was wrong.

So. Very. Wrong.

The 3-wheeled death-tickler above makes the Dark Knight's batpod look like the Barbie Vespa, and is very, Very REAL.

It's called the Blastolene Hemi, and (as the name implies) it is a one-off trike built around a massive, supercharged Hemi V8, and one look at the 240 mph speedo is your first clue that these guys are Serious ...

... the awesome, over-engineered front brake, steering, and suspension systems are the second.

Autoblog just posted a dozen or so hi-res images of this thing. CLICK HERE to see those ... I'm going off to write my Christmas letter to Santa (a little early this year).

Why have something sensible, when you can have something stupid?

That seems to be the prevailing theme today, as I ponder ruining my financial future via GMC Syclone speculation and everyone else I know seems up to their eyeballs in project cars (best one: Dr. Jones' 6.0L Hammer).

In the video above, Leno shows us what can happen when you have a budget big enough for your - um ... dreams?

Was a rear-engined, 220hp 1989 Ford Festiva really someone's dream?

Takes all kinds.

CarZi recently posted some great pics of Paris Hilton's new Bentley CGT - which has been seriously pink'd by the West Coast Customs guys.

Whatever you think of Paris or pink Bentleys (I'm a fan) you have to admit, she did a thorough job customizing/destroying that car.

The Lady Hilton (HA!) took delivery of the pink GT just in time for Christmas, CLICK HERE for original article (and more pics).

While it's (also) not a supercar, this "Lord Humungus" Isuzu special does indeed hail from sunny South Florida. It's strangely badass, no?
