Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has announced the company is working on an optional package for the electric Cybertruck pick-up which would allow it to traverse «at least 100 [metres] as a boat».
Over a year ago, Tesla CEO Elon Musk ruffled a few feathers when he claimed the Cybertruck could serve as a boat briefly. But the eccentric chief executive isn't giving up on that dream yet.
Picture it: the year is 1985, the place is Würzburg, Bavaria, and you've just taken delivery of your brand-new E28 BMW M5. You shift the manual gearbox into third, wind up that glorious inline-six through the rev range and—uh-oh. What's this? Flashing blue lights in the rearview mirror, only they're rapidly receding into the distance. This is Germany, though, not Hazzard County, and running from the law is verboten. It takes quite a while for the cops to show up. Today's pick from Bring a Trailer—which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos—is a 1979 Volkswagen Beetle police car that is up for sale until Thursday, December 14.

That means two people are going to have to foot bills of around $33,000 each, according to Motor1.
Car creativity knows no bounds. We’ve been over this: The VW Beetle pickup was certifiably strange, the Mercedes E430 death kart was the product of someone with the right idea, and the Nissan 350Z drift car with a Bentley W12 swap was certainly A Choice. But as far as a numbers-smashing fantastical build, this two-stroke 18.6-liter diesel hot rod is possibly the craziest.
Businessman Najeeb Khan has finally been sentenced after orchestrating a $180 million check-kiting scheme, which he used to fund his lavish collection of cars that could rival the expansive car collection of Jay Leno. The Cleveland FBI and IRS Criminal Investigations investigated his case, and Assistant US Attorneys Chelsea S. Rice and Alejandro A. Abreu prosecuted it.
After an exhaustive search that spanned all four corners of the globe, the 2023 Hot Wheels Legends Tour has chosen the top finalists, with all 10 standing a chance of receiving the ultimate honor: having their custom vehicles turned into a 1:64 die-cast collectible.
