SF Auto Show Highlights

Recently, I went to the 2016 San Francisco International Auto Show and was able to see many cars in flesh. It was a lot of fun, and I saw some really cool cars. Here are the top 5 coolest cars seen.

1. Mercedes G Class

Mercedes G Class

If you want a hard core off roading vehicle that is luxury, then the Mercedes G Class will suit your needs. This car is powerful and is not as soft as the 2016 Range Rover. This is real old school off roading with no air suspension and no fancy driving modes. Instead, this military like vehicle has three different locking diffs. It will get you to where you want to go without the glitches of a Range Rover.

2. Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR James Bond

Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR

In the Bond film Spectre, an awesome Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR  is featured. It is featured in a car chase rolling through four feet of snow. It is modified to look like one of the coolest Land Rovers ever. The designers certainly aced it with an epic light bar and mean look. They certainly started off with a great car to modify. The Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR is made to be one of the craziest Land Rovers ever with a supercharged engine that produces 550 horsepower. The engine will scream.

3. Porsche 918

Porsche 918

This hypercar is the replacement for the legendary Carrera GT. That means that there are some pretty high expectations. They certainly went above and beyond when it comes to building this new legend. It hosts a total of 887 horsepower from the hybrid powertrain that says hybrids don't need to be slow. The two electric motors work along with the 6.8 kW-h battery and allows the car to go full electric mode for twelve miles. The dashboard in the interior is like a swooping line with a long screen on it. The exhausts are next to your ears so you can hear the naturally aspirated V8. This car is truly amazing.

4. Pagani Huayra

Pagani Huayra

The Pagani Huayra is truly special. The level of craftsmanship will blow your mind. It starts at 1.07 million dollars and it may only have 720 horsepower. However, horsepower doesn't say everything about this car. It has got these insane metal dials inside. All the mechanisms for the gear shifter are exposed and they give a nice clink. The body is made from carbotanium, a blend of carbon fiber and titanium. It makes the body nice and light and it won't shatter, unlike regular carbon fiber. The car isn't about just the power. It is also about the details that go into it making this car so special.

5. Dodge Charger Hellcat

Dodge Charger Hellcat

The Dodge Charger Hellcat is everything a proper American muscle car should be. It is powerful and can do some of the biggest burnouts. Unlike the Pagani, it is a fraction of the price. It starts at seventy grand which may seem a lot. However, this beast has 707 horsepower, just 13 less than the Pagani. The Hellcat is one of the best "cheap" thrills".
