Just like certain people are fascinated with wings, other get their kicks from dreaming about tentacles. Well, it seems that such forms of inspiration can coexist with a passion for automotive creations. To put it another way, there are people in the world who have come up with... tentacle cars.
Of course, one couldn’t expect to have tentacles on the list of optional extras, so, if this is what floats your boat, you will have to search beyond that. Not even the aftermarket world has something for this kind of request, so the answer lies within the DIY realm.
As you can see in the adjacent images, we’ve found some rather bizzare wheeled creations wearing tentacles. Considering the amount of unusual stuff going on in the Japanese car culture, one would expect that to be the source of such creations.
Well, that is not correct. The best JDM-related tentacle car development we’ve managed to find in an ad for the Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck and that’s coming from the Mitsubishi’s African arm.
Nonetheless, the true tentacle cars in the gallery below are are vehicles built in the US - you can see these pridefully displayed in the desert. These steampunk-like creations are joined by an.. ahem... open-air contraption dubbed Das Kraken. Presented at the New York Maker Faire 2010, this started out in life as a lawn mower. Twisted in an understatement...
