Hitting that point in your life when you're just craving to feel young again? These five cars could be the solution. After creating lists featuring our favorite affordable new cars and luxury sedans, it only made sense to move on to the next stage in the life of a gearhead: the mid-life crisis car. Don�t worry, this midlife syndrome will happen to all of us one day if it hasn't done so already. Although we�re still years away from reaching this point in life ourselves, we�ve chosen five cars that would likely satisfy any mid-life crisis. No one car is favored over another but each has enough personality to make anyone feel young, and look good while doing so. more at CarBuzz: One-off Super Snake Up for Auction1963 Buick Riviera by FeslerRoush Reveals 2014 Mustangs Should the selection of the Chevrolet Corvette be of any shock? Of course not. The all-American sports car tops the lists for many young and old car guys and gals but despite its performance value, they don�t always come cheap. The brand-new C7 Stingray will likely base for around $50,000 but older generation models can easily cost much more when in pristine condition. But the thought of once again driving fast with the wind in your hair (or what�s left of it on a balding head) is a reality countless gearheads want back when they hit this stage in life.

Will these videos ever get old? Only if the girls do. We�ve been privy to plenty of videos combining well-formed females and brutally-fast vehicles over the years, and the latest installment combines one of the most bountiful brunettes ever to star in such productions as well as an awesome modified Chevrolet Silverado. Her name is Jelacy - that has to be a stage name, surely - and the tuned truck has over 1,000 horsepower at its disposal and the capacity to send the top-heavy model in her zip-up suit bouncing all over the cabin. The video comes courtesy of That Racing Channel, who we applaud for their efforts. Keep up the good work guys.

Despite its Bauhaus-inspired looks, the first-generation Audi TT fell short performance wise against its fellow German competitors. To be fair to the Audi TT, it has come a long way, and the TT RS is definitely a sports car. But the first generation model was never mentioned in the same breath as the Porsche Boxster. This sort of thing happens sometimes; a good car will have a previous generation or bare-bones trim level that its maker has a very difficult time distancing the better versions from, such is the TT. Starting in the early Nineties, several different German brands set to work building small and reasonably inexpensive sports cars.

First pictures of the new DeltaWing Coupe have surfaced ahead of its debut at the Sebring International Raceway. DeltaWing Racing Cars parted ways with main sponsor Nissan earlier in the year, but that hasn�t stopped the company from pressing ahead with the development of its unconventional race car. Just when you thought the innovative design couldn�t get any weirder, a Coupe variant emerges. The enclosed version of the experimental race car is now on display at Sebring International Raceway, where the open-top DeltaWing will make its LMP1 class debut this weekend piloted by Andy Meyrick and Olivier Pla.

Bentley, Lamborghini and Maserati all have SUVs in the pipeline, but what about Rolls-Royce? It seems that nearly every premium automaker today is either considering, planning or has already launched a crossover or SUV model. Bentley will soon begin production of a new SUV based on the EXP 9 Concept but what about its long time fellow British rival, Rolls-Royce? According to a new report coming from Australia�s Car Advice, Rolls-Royce does not have any immediate SUV plans but its Asia Pacific regional director Paul Haggis told the publication that such a model hasn�t been ruled out entirely.

50th anniversary limited-edition bicycle mimics the Aventador�s carbon-fiber body. Lamborghini marked its 50th anniversary with the ultra-limited edition Veneno unveiled in Geneva last week. While that model is priced at an eye-watering 3 million Euros (with all three models already finding buyers) there�s another Anniversary Edition Lamborghini model that can be yours for a fraction of the price. However you�ll have to give up two of the wheels for the pleasure. The BMC Lamborghini 50th Anniversary Edition Impec is the second collaborative effort between the Swiss bicycle maker BMC and Lamborghini.

Offset alloys and some carbon-fiber body parts are the highlights of European Auto Source�s latest BMW project. California-based BMW tuning specialist European Auto Source has revealed its latest project based on the E92 BMW M3. Dubbed the Alpine White, the aftermarket program focuses on a set of brand-new wheels: 20-inch offset three-piece BBS LM-R alloys that have been pushed right to the edge of the fenders for a wide stance that is further accentuated by a set of KW coilovers. Other performance modifications made to the M3 include an Eisenmann performance exhaust and a Macht Schnell high-performance air filter.

A completely original example of one of the best models Honda has ever built is now up for sale. There was a time when Honda was considered a rebel in the automotive industry. It didn�t always play by the rules established by larger automakers. Those companies often felt that when it came to cars, bigger was always better. Instead, Honda designed small and medium-sized cars that were very reliable, had solid power outputs from smaller engines, and were a hoot to drive. Today it is claimed, and rightly so, that Honda has lost some of its former magic in its quest to go more mainstream.

We've seen a lot of VW bus conversions over the years, but this one has to take the cake. If you liked the 736-horsepower MkI Volkswagen Golf we brought you the other day, you�re gonna love this. Because while it may only have half the power, it more than makes up for it in other areas of awesomeness. What you�re looking at here is a 1963 Volkswagen T1 that�s been converted not only into a pickup, but also modified for drag racing. It�s a good four feet shorter than standard, making it about the size of a small hatchback, and tuned to deliver 330 horsepower.

First spy shots of the Maybach�s successor have emerged. With the Maybach 57 and 62 sedans consigned to the history books, Mercedes announced the new W222 Mercedes S-Class - tipped to take a bow in May - would come with a Pullman limousine bodystyle to succeed those ill-fated models. And these exclusive spy shots are the first time the new extra-long model has been seen in prototype guise. Previous S-Class Pullmans were built to order, coming with the full-length three-box passenger compartments; the new model will be built in far higher volumes.

It may look like a European-designed sports car, but the Devin Triumph S was the creation of an American car nut. Back in the 1950s, fiberglass was popular as a material for constructing lightweight sports cars. Perhaps the most common example of that technology was the original �Plastic Fantastic� itself, the C1 Corvette. But fiberglass was relatively inexpensive and it allowed plenty of small automakers to sculpt it in various ways, enabling them to improve aerodynamics without having to spends a ton of money. Bill Devin was one of those small-time car makers.

This is what supercar hoonage looks like. Off the bat one wouldn't think anyone would want to use a Lamborghini Gallardo as a rally car. Rallying can easily and quickly turn into a pricey pastime, especially if the car you need to repair after a few knocks and bruises is a supercar. But this Gallardo owner seems to be more than willing to take that chance and we totally applaud him for that. Upon further thought, the Gallardo being an all-wheel drive machine with a 5.2-liter V10 located at midship surely makes it the ideal toy for some sweet rallying.

Audi's beautiful flagship coupe and convertible is due for a redesign for 2016 with improved refinement and reduced weight. It�s been described by its designer and current Volkswagen Group design chief, Walter de Silva, as his favorite project to date. With its elegant yet simple lines gracing its coupe and convertible body, the Audi A5 has been a solid hit for the German automaker ever since it was unveiled back in 2007. Despite undergoing a recent mid-cycle refresh, the car�s age is becoming evident in light of growing competition from the likes of BMW�s soon to be released 4 Series and a new Mercedes�Benz C-Class Coupe.

Kia is in the process of deciding whether to build two of its latest and most dynamic concepts in recent years. There�s no question that South Korean automaker Kia has produced some great looking concepts and production cars over the past few years, thanks largely in part to Peter Schreyer leading the new design charge. This talented German designer worked for many years at Volkswagen and was responsible for the first-generation Audi TT. Since joining Kia, his team has produced some eye-catching concepts, including the GT and the Provo which debuted last week at the Geneva Motor Show.

New video depicts desire for the Pagani Huayra as emotionally intense as the lust for a beautiful woman. Commissioned by Prestige Imports of Miami, the latest video of the mesmerizing Pagani Huayra wonderfully blend shots of the mechanical beauty that makes up the guts of the hypercar and tantalizing clips of a sexy scantily dressed young lady. Both are depicted as objects of desire and while most guys would give their right arm to wake up to something this hot in the morning, the sight of a Huayra parked in the driveway is surely the ultimate male fantasy. As while the goegeous girl may look amazing now, beyond the child-bearing years her appeal will wane quicker than it takes the Huayra to sprint from standstill to sixty. The Huayra, on the other hand, is an ageless work of art.

In what can be viewed as a further sign of changing times, Land Rover will be unveiling a series of Defender EV prototypes in Geneva. An electric vehicle may be fine for short-distance commuting between charging stations. But for off-roading you�ll want something that can get you out to the field and back again. That�s why the Land Rover Defender, though decades old, remains a favorite for off-roading enthusiasts. That hasn�t stopped Land Rover from developing an electric version of its soon-to-be-replaced truck, announcing that it�ll be bringing the prototype to the Geneva show next week.

A Mini riding high with a 5.7-liter V8 under the hood is a rolling contradiction. Tuners rarely bother with the original Mini Cooper. Boosting its baby powerplant or restyling its classic body is barely worth the effort for most aftermarket outfits, and there�s equally little demand for such work. And that�s exactly why this Mini Monster Truck is so appealing. Currently listed on eBay, the Monster Mini Cooper consists of a shell and interior of a 1965 Austin Mini sitting on a Jeep Wrangler YJ frame with a six-inch lift kit, and powered by a new 5.7-liter V8 crate motor.

Rare and storied racing Ferrari on consignment for the Amelia Island Concours d�Elegance. A concours auction wouldn�t be a concours auction without a highly desirable competition-spec classic Ferrari on the docket, and this year�s RM Auction event at Amelia Island will be no exception � even if the qualifying car in question is quite exceptional. What we have here is a 1952 Ferrari 225 Sport Belinetta, one of just two built on the vaunted Tuboscocca chassis and with coachwork by Carrozzeria Vignale. One of only six 225S competition berlinettas built, it�s expected to fetch $1.25-1.75 million at auction.

Drives by its "progress through technology" philosophy, Audi became a legend in Group B WRC racing and now dominates Le Mans. You�ve probably been wondering where Audi was in this series the whole time. Well, we were saving it for a strong finish. A direct link between race cars and road cars is rare in big companies like Audi, but as the most profitable brand in the massive VW group, Audi is obviously doing something right. At the root of Audi�s Vorsprung durch Technik (progress through technology) philosophy is the belief that motorsport competition is the best path toward technological advancement.

544 horsepower and six wheels? We've got to be kidding, right? Only we're not: Mercedes is actually selling these beasts. Remember the six-wheeled Mercedes G-Class we spotted a couple of weeks ago on its way to the Middle East? It was hard to miss. We figured it was a one-off, but as it turns out, Mercedes-Benz is putting it into production, albeit highly limited. The truck started out as a special creation for the Austrian military a couple of years ago in the same country where the G-Wagen is built for Mercedes by Magna Steyr. But demand from specific clientele prompted Benz to offer it for public consumption.
