8:00AM Dan Nosowitz | The Brabus Mercedes-Benz Viano Lounge, which is so high-end it’s called a “Lounge” and not a van (spoiler: it’s a van), is chock full of pretty much the most impressive array of tech gear we’ve ever seen on four wheels. More »

1:34PM Nick Broughall | From the outside, it looks like a regular truck: Your typical Isuzu chassis with a van on the back. If you drove past it on the road, you’d barely notice it. But when you step inside, it’s a wonderland of dials, knobs, screens and buttons – a technological nerdgasm – and it’s what makes your coverage of live sports events so entertaining. And yesterday at SMPTE09, I got to take a look inside two custom trucks built especially for Thoroughbred Racing Productions (TRP). More »

Because aside from stylish oak kitchen cabinets and a comfortable La-Z-Boy recliner, the van makes room for a sauna (and they don’t just mean that the A/C doesn’t work…from what we can tell). Sure, that solar-powered Prius will get you slightly better MPG, but legroom’s gotta count for something. And in this case, your legroom can be in a voluntarily sweaty, hellish environment.

Jet Turbine-Powered Van Is Probably Batman’s Aunt’s Car
1:50AM Jesus Diaz | This van has been retrofitted with a Rolls-Royce Nimbus helicopter jet turbine by Chris Krug, who should really be working for Tony Stark. The jet turbine has about 1,000 shaft horsepower at 2,100 RPM, which allows it to do 200 metres at 166kph in 7.14 seconds.
