First of all, we know what you guys are going to say: that the X-Men have never needed and will never need cars. But we are living in the era of product placement, so if Iron Man has an Audi, Professor X would have a Model X... obviously.
Not all X-Men are getting cool rides in this gallery of renderings, just the main characters of the movie X-Men: Apocalypse. It's got an entirely new cast, where The Hunger Games girl plays Jean Gray, and Sansa Stark is Mystique. No, wait... that's the other way around.

Like we said, cars are pointless modes of transportation when you can fly or teleport. However, every kid dreams of having his very own truck in the Wolverine black and yellow colors. Otherwise, toy companies like Hot Wheels would long have gone out of business.

We think the same team that created these renderings is also behind the Wolverine Audi R8 and Superman Bugatti we showed you a couple of months ago. However, this time, the credits go to Who Car Fix My Car, a British web that can hook you up with awesome repair workshops.

The other major "plot hole" for this set of renderings is that the Apocalypse movie is set in the 1980s when none of these vehicles existed except maybe for the G-Wagen and the Toyota Hilux. En Sabah Nur, a powerful mutant believed to be the first of his kind, rules ancient Egypt until he was betrayed by his worshipers and entombed. He awakens in 1983 and... has a G63 AMG 6x6?

Between the Cyclops Mustang GT350R and the Jean Grey Volvo XC90, some of these renderings don't make a lot of sense. They also appear to be styled by people who know all the lines in every Fast and Furious movie.

However, the Tesla Model X used by Professor Xavier makes sense and comes with an on-board mini Cerebro machine. Regarding the Mystique BMW i8, we also want to point out that the German car company has two shape-shifting concepts, the recent Next 100 and the older GINA. Don't laugh; it's the official name!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
