You know the little Power Wheels-style ATV your kid uses to drive across the lawn? it turns out that it makes a great machine gun drone in the hands of Libyan rebel, and structural engineer, Mohammad Bin Saud. More »

OK, it's actually a three-and-a-half year old. These things are important at that age. Also, an amazing amount of hand-eye coordination and arm control from someone who likely still gets excited over juice boxes. Then again, so does Jim Glickenhaus. More »

ATVs are dangerous. Especially if you're not wearing a helmet and seatbelt while operating them. A bunch of people weren't smart enough to figure that out and sued Yamaha for negligence. Yamaha just won the first case. More »

60 MPH, 114 dB, 1300 degrees, 150,000 RPM. We probably wouldn't be crazy enough to put a jet turbine in a side-by-side, but we know we definitely wouldn't take it for a test run through Philly. [PopularScience] More »

We got to show you a pretty nifty Ferrari-badged Hayabusa Trike Friday, but that wasn't the only exotic car cross-branding at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon. Check out these adorable Lamborghini Murcielago ATVs. More »

A little bit of metalworking knowhow has converted a perfectly functional quad into a perfectly functional quad that can do forwards and backward rolls. You're still out of luck if you rolls the quad on its side, but I'm sure the creators of this vehicle are working on putting a quad in a hamster ball next. Overall, it's a pretty creative idea, but at some point one would expect these kids to just learn how to ride a quad rather than having to worry about constantly rolling it. [DV] More »

We've seen some pretty interesting mods around these parts, but this 110cc quad toolbox has to be one of the more peculiar. I hate to jump to conclusions or make assumptions, but this is really just a 110cc miniature quad sawed in half and welded back to a pretty standard toolbox. The owner says it is used in the pits to easily get the tools around. Yeah, I'll go ahead and say the creators are lazy and creative. [Red Ferret] More »

Once again, Signore Loverman is off-duty for COTD today, and since he bought his first shotgun at the age of three, we won't inquire too closely about the reasons why he asked me to sub for him this fine Monday evening. Sometimes we give this award to the commenter who lasers straight to the core of a topic with his or her pithy one-liner, and sometimes the award goes to a commenter who writes a lengthy essay full of numerous hyperlinks to handy references, all done on the timeclock at The Man's salt mine. Today, however, the COTD award goes to a commenter who managed to fill our heads with twisted dream imagery that will take a while to purge from our gray matter... More »

Best known for their race winning supermotos and the stunning X-Bow, KTM are launching their first Quad bikes. The 450 XC and XC feature the same powerful single cylinder engines as the Austrian company's dirt bikes, which should make them an equally wild ride. The full press release follows the jump. More »
]]> http://jalopnik.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=291822&view=rss&microfeed=true Imagine blasting around New Zealand on an ATV powered by a rally-tuned Subaru STi engine. We got hip to this face-warping toy last year, but this is the first video we've seen of it in action. Apparently, Kiwis have this Race to the Sky thing, where all manner of radical four-wheelers blast up some middle-earth mountain or other — and this is likely born from such craziness. And ok, Subieheads, that really is one sweet-sounding engine. [Thanks to Jose for the tip.] More »

And speaking of Transformers — here's an ATV which'll probably feel at home in both the new Michael Bay directed flick, as well as in pretty much any Bond movie. It's an all-terrain vehicle with a 140 bhp engine and a 50 mph top speed, but then it can pop the tires up and sink the engine into the pool for a dip, turning it into a handy little jetski giving new meaning to the term all-terrain. Now all we need is a mash-up of the Bond theme and "You've Got The Touch" and we'll be all set to go. More »

Is it a glorified ATV retrofitted for ministry-of-transportation approval, or a full-sized Volkswagen Beetle that's been swimming in an icy lake? Whatever it is, the City of London considers it a scooter, so it doesn't charge riders of the 340cc bone shaker for congestion, which makes it kind of a bargain for those unafraid of being undone by one if its larger roadway mates. It's not cheap, but it's French. For what that's worth. More »
