Cars That Should Exist

    As a car enthusiast, I have many cars that I wish existed, but sadly, will probably never be put into production. Why? Only because they're unrealistic, expensive, and probably won't make much sense to produce. But, they still would be pretty awesome, and I still wish a manufacturer would take the initiative to make them. Until then, I can only hope for that, so here are five of my favorites:

1. Fiat 500 Abarth R

    I am sure most of you have heard of the Subaru WRX STi, and most you have also heard of the Fiat 500 Abarth. Sure, the Esseesse exists as the go-faster variant of the Abarth, but it would be even better if there was a 500 that had the 305-horsepower turbo I-4 as the STi, and it would sell for about $35,000. Would it be ridiculous? Yes, of course it would. But wouldn't it be so fun?

2. BMW M7 

    The only reason I wish this car exists is not because I particularly like the 7-Series, it's just that it would make sense for BMW to make a rival for the Jaguar XJR, the Mercedes-Benz S63/S65 AMG, and the Audi S8. It would either have a more powerful version of the M5's 4.4 liter V8, or a more powerful version of the 6.0 liter V12 in the 760Li. Prices would start at about $175,000, not including options such as carbon-ceramic brakes or an upgraded rear seat, which would add a fixed center console, complete with airline-style picnic trays and a mini-fridge. 

3. Mercedes-Benz G550/G63 AMG Coupe/Cabriolet

    If you didn't know already, Mercedes-Benz used to offer the G-Class in two-door variants, including a soft-top convertible. If only they would resurrect that body style for the current G-Class....

4. Mazda MX-5 Miata Racing Edition

     The Mazda Miata is considered to be one of the best roadsters in the world, and is an extremely fun car to drive. My only problem with it is that it is slightly underpowered, so I just wish there was a more track-focused version with around 300 horsepower, and maybe carbon-ceramic brakes.

5. Bentley Mulsanne Limousine by Mulliner

    A couple of years ago, Bentley Mulliner took the Arnage RL and stretched it about a foot. They also added a champagne fridge, reclining seats, a cigar humidor, a partition, and a flat-screen TV. I think that this "Mulliner Limousine" treatment applied to the Mulsanne would create a great rival for cars such as the Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman. 

2014 Mercedes G63 AMG 6X6 Review

     I am pretty sure everyone reading this blog has heard of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which is one of the best off-roaders of all time. It has been in production since about 1979 and has grown to be so much more since then. It used to be a stripped-out jeep-like thing for the German military, but over the years, it has received lots of off-road tech, a luxurious interior, and a very powerful array of engines. But about a year ago, someone in AMG headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany, found the blueprints for a design they had made for the Australian army. But then, someone said "why don't we put our 531-hp, 5.5 liter twin-turbo V8 in as the engine?" Obviously, that person was insane, considering putting that engine in a 9000-pound vehicle resulted in a 5.9-second 0-60 time, which is crazy, because that's sports-car fast for something the size of a sports-car factory. But the idea behind the 6X6 is that there needs to be a vehicle that is a little more interesting than a Range Rover and appeals to Dubai sheiks, and has incredible off-road capabilities with S-Class levels of creature comfort.
