This incredible, one-of-a-kind auto is the Infiniti Prototype 9 concept car, an electric concept that pays homage to the design of the pre-war era. It went on display at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance car event in California last weekend. The prototype, which infuses the aesthetic of a 1940s race with ultra-sleek modern design and technology, can reach up to 140 miles per hour, and ran its first race on Wednesday.
This is the new Toyota Century, an exclusive car only available for VIP clients to purchase by invitation only, and it's the first update of the model in 20 years. The luxurious Toyota Century has gone through minimal body style changes, as it is regarded as a tradition which should remain constant through the years. However, the previous model of the Century came equipped with a powerful V12 engine, but the new model features a 5.0-litre V-8 hybrid.
An all-new hybrid 'universal transport' prototype was showcased at the MAKS airshow in Russia on Wednesday, called the BORTS Triton, a wheeled offroad vehicle which has also has hovercraft capabilities as well an aerochute, which means that this one of a kind auto can conquer the land, water, and skies. The two-seater SUV is adept on land as an electrical car, uses an aerochute when converted into a plane and becomes a hovercraft once on water all thanks to a low-noise, ten-blade propellor.
Some of the most sought-after cars in the world were showcased at Monterey Car Week. Among them were the PB 18 E-Tron, which goes from 0-100k mph in two seconds, the new $5 million Bugatti Divo, and the sleek, all-electric Infiniti P10, which may be the racing car of the future.

This bright yellow speed demon is called the Jet Bus, and it's probably the fastest school bus ever built, all thanks to a powerful jet engine. Created by the Gerd Habermann Racing Group, the jet bus is propelled by a kerosene-powered Westinghouse J34 turbine, which generates an astonishing 25,000 horsepower. It went on display at the 2017 Essen Motor Show in Germany this weekend.
