Switzer's Beast: A 2000 HP Nissan GT-R

Every now and then tuning people just go bananas and take things beyond reasonable. Case in point: Switzer Performance's 2000 hp Nissan GT-R. Yes, that much and it's for a client of theirs. We won't complain, though, as we haven't heard from Switzer for quite some time.

Prior Design Widebody For The W219 Mercedes-Benz CLS

Renault KWID Concept And The Flying Companion

Wouldn't you know it, the playful-looking KWID actually does have a complementary drone with it. Not that Renault are planning to actually really make it in the near future, but we are quite stumped. Unveiled at the Delhi Auto Show, this is the French company's first ever concept outside of the European continent. It had to be good, then. And it is. By good, of course, we mean outlandish. It was sort of designed locally: input from Renault Design India played a big part in the process. It's pretty short and has
