SUVs or SUVs are growing like mushrooms after the rain. They can be found in almost every manufacturer and some of them are as different as night and day. We took the most luxurious, best equipped and, of course, the most expensive ones into review.
Kahn Dizajn, a team of car enthusiasts from the island, is responsible for quite a number of tasteful conversions. Most recently, we reported on the Flying Huntsman 6X6, a 6-wheeled monster now made for those warmer climates. They are selling a version with a canvas roof, which will be perfect for sand dunes or hot and humid primeval forests.
The McLaren Senna is the latest product from McLaren's Ulitmate Series line of cars. It is the sportiest McLaren that still complies with road regulations. It was named after the legendary Brazilian Formula 1 racer Ayrton Senna de Silva. Only 500 of the McLaren beasts will be built and a portion of each purchase will go to the Senna charity, and pretty much all of them have already been sold despite the £750,000 price tag.
The Mopar Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is definitely one of the more attractive SUVs we've seen in recent times. The Jeep Wrangler, which was modified by the in-house tuner Mopar, is anything but the one you can see in Jeep showrooms.
Whenever we talk about autonomous driving systems, we cannot ignore the fact that Tesla's experts are leaders in this field. They are developing their autopilot to the point where we are no longer far from the moment when cars will actually be able to drive themselves. The latest videos show us what happens if we fall asleep behind the wheel of a Tesla.

At Toyota, they emphasize that the Toyota FT-AC is only a design experiment, although it has many interesting things that we can easily imagine on one of the production cars in the near future. Maybe the cameras won't catch on that quickly, but when it comes to off-road driving and exploring the unknown, Toyota has definitely hit the nail on the head in this case.
The Lamborghini brand is known for its exceptional super sports cars, which are the wet dreams of all lovers of petrol fumes. But from now on, we will also know it by the brand that started the segment, as they say at Lamborghini, of "super sports SUVs". The Lamborghini Urus is the SUV from hell. The numbers he can serve are... Ulala!
The Ranger Rover SVAutobiography is the most expensive car you can think of at a Land Rover car dealer. It can only be ordered in a version with an extended wheelbase, and it will cost more than 190,000 euros.
The companies Airbus, Rolls-Royce and Siemens have combined their knowledge and together they will create a completely new aircraft engine E-fan X. It is a hybrid-electric aircraft engine system that should be ready by 2020.
