“Proposed by MG Motor” is probably the most ridiculous car
We're not kidding; that's the name SAIC Group chose for its new brand in Australia go through Brad Anderson March 27, 2025 11:41 IM Motors will debut in Australia, just like MG offers IM with high-performance electric cars. The brand is part of the SAIC Group and offers 400V, 800V and 900V architectures. Like other Chinese electric cars, these models have no chance to come to the United States. IM Motors is ready to enter Australia's fast-growing electric vehicle market, let's face it, already dominated by Chinese cars. However, the company's brand has taken some weird moves: These vehicles will be sold under the newly named I've proposed it by MG Motor brand. We'll let the name sink for a while - yes, it doesn't completely get rid of the tongue. But despite the curious nickname, the company plans to introduce two interesting models locally. The IM5 and IM6 have been sold in China under the names of L6 and…
Carlex’s 6×6 Mercedes G-Wagen is a popemobile level ridiculous
This crazy G-Wagen makes the Mercedes-Benz G63 6×6 seem a bit boring. Plush white leather adorns the custom G-class glorious cabin. Carlex Design hasn't revealed how much the crazy Mercedes will cost. Carlex Design first named several luxury cars for its striking but sophisticated interior upgrades, but in recent years it has taken risks and embraced more ambitious projects. Its latest creation is a wild six-round Mercedes-Benz G-Class, suitable for the Pope, known as the Habemus. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que :()}; adpushup.que.push(function(){ if(adpushup.config.platform!=="Desktop"){adpushup.triggerad("0f7e3106 -c4d6-4db4-4db4-8135-c5088799a76a76af8") 82503191-E1D1-435A-874F-9C78A2A54A2F");}}); So far, the crazy-based Mercedes model has been previewed with only a series of renderings, and although we've seen a lot of interesting G-Class over the years, we've never seen anyone like this. It is unclear whether Carlex plans to base the model on a million-dollar G63 6×6 or turn the regular G-class into a six-wheeler, but we think it is the most likely option.

China: Pentagon caught up in Huawei dilemma as ‘ridiculous’
In July, the Chinese Communist Party’s flagship English-language newspaper ran a headline commenting: “U.S. ban on Huawei will ultimately backfire,” reporting that the U.S. Department of Defense was working to secure a waiver from a 2019 law that bars the U.S. from doing business with any entity that relies on technology from the sanctioned Chinese telecom giant. According to Bloomberg, the Pentagon is seeking to formally lift its ban on contracts with anyone using Huawei equipment. It said: "The reason is that..."

Porsche built a ridiculous one-off 993 Speedster
Porsche has unveiled a special 993-based speedster built by its Sonderwunsch division. This one-of-a-kind piece was commissioned by a collector who was deeply involved in the design. This is the third factory-built 993 Speedster in existence. Porsche has revealed its Project Sonderwunsch at Monterey Car Week 2024, unveiling a stunning 993-based speedster. This one-of-a-kind creation was commissioned by a hardcore Porsche enthusiast and collector to fill the last gap in his "extensive" speedster collection. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); While Porsche offered Speedster versions of its G-series and 964 models, the 993 never received the same treatment—officially, at least. In fact, only two 993 Speedsters ever left Stuttgart: a green version built in 1995 to celebrate Ferdinand Alexander Porsche's 60th birthday, and a silver version built in 2001 for comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Now, a third rare car has joined the ranks: a yellow 993…
