Sharknado 2 cars

If the original Sharknado wasn’t enough, and it obviously wasn’t, Sharknado 2 returns to haunt our dreams – this time taking a bite out of the Big Apple. But we’re never one to leave well enough alone. What if an ocean-going car carrier crossed paths with the shark-lined storm? Is it that hard to believe when these four-wheeled creatures so resemble their sharply finned counterparts prowling the ocean floor like a four-lane highway?  Like the shark (Selachimorpha), they must move constantly in order to breathe exhaust, sport uniquely-shaped grills and prey on weaker species when trying to make a traffic light. So lock your doors, open your garages and witness the glory and drama of Carnado Too!

 

Sharknado Shark Cars: Subaru BRZ - Scubyliorhinus Barrociouz

Origin: Tokyo Bay

Description: The Scubyliorhinus Barrociouz is a mix breed machine, sharing many similarities with its so-called Toyobaru cousin that hails from the same waters. Thanks to a slick flat nosed front end and curvaceous rear quarters the Scubyliorhinus is able to navigate smooth waters quite swiftly. In the wild they have also been known to chase down much more powerful predators while grinning from gill to gill, so long as it was not a contest of straight line acceleration.

Habitat: Although numbers are limited, the Scubyliorhinus Barrociouz can be found along deltas and inlets wherever boy racers reside, being the low cost entry to rear wheel drive excitement that it is.

Sharknado Shark Cars: Toyota Camry - Camroscious Squatina

Origin: South Fork Licking River

Description: The Camroscious Squatina has long been looked over as a looker, but the species ability to gently and smoothly prowl the highways of America with its huge trunk that can swallow everything from bags of groceries to lengths of lumber. However, most often found bearing more mundane items like diaper bags and yoga mats. This creature of comfort seeks its prey by heartwarming stories of reliability and an amazing ability to endlessly glide through shoals while offering lots of space for those inside. Recent sightings have shown a more aggressive attitude for the Squatina, however not many details are known.

Habitat: Once the Camroscious truly became American made, it didn’t take long to migrate upriver.

Thanks to a screaming V12 that produces over 650 HP at 8,000 tail strokes per minute, the FF can leap off the line with what can only be described as four fin drive and reach 60 MPH from a standstill in only 3.7 seconds before continuing on to a top speed of over 200 MPH. Unlike most other Exhortationem this Feraculous can swallow up to four full size adults and their overnight bags with room to spare. Don’t dare call it a hatchback, for this one of Pininfarinas most daring design studies for the super car maker from Maranello. It might just eat you alive.

Habitat: Like the ELR you can expect to find the Feraculous in areas unaffected by fluctuations in the financial market. There have been reports of annual mass migrations, the Exhortationem have been spotted gathering in clusters in costal regions like the Monterey Peninsula and Palm Beach.

Be warned the Pars is a feisty little bugger, the result of One Ford’s interocean breeding.

Sharknado Shark Cars - Ford Mustang- Mustelus Ponica

Following up with the OneFord mantra and an Evos inspired appearance this Ponica is sure to make some waves with tried and true enthusiasts. The modern American muscle gets a bevy of power mills, ranging from a fuel sipping six cylinder all the way up to the obligatory V8. There is even a four cylinder EcoBoost option being thrown into the mix, not to mention the incorporation of an independent rear suspension.

Habitat: Many Mustelus can be found in places of closed course competion. However due to the aforementioned loss of a liveaxle, most will be migrating from their traditional straight line contests in favor of exploring new curves. So drop the dragstrip and head to your local road course instead.
