Monster Car – Rhinoceroses of the asphalt

Monster Car or Monster Truck, are the modified cars with giant wheels and pneumatic type suspensions. Used in recreational sports competitions and even sometimes compete in track races with obstacles. Very popular in North America and lately gaining importance in Latin America.

In some cases the Monster Cars are created purely for fun and in some cases they are even for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Do you see the point in having a Corvette in the field on these wheels?

In other cases they are tuned with the most original designs you can imagine. This is the case with this Monster Skeletor. Seeing these vehicle monsters in action is quite a sight. If you have the opportunity, do not miss one of these events that will surprise you.

The fastest monster car in the world

The Raminator has entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest monster car in the world, topping out at 99.1 mph.

Weighing 5.25 tons, it is faster than a Ferrari Enzo (0-60 mph in 3 seconds). Hall Bros Racing, were the builders of this vehicle. His trucks, sponsored by Ram, have racked up numerous awards.

The biggest monster truck in the world

As we can see, the records do not stop emerging with these asphalt masses. In this case a 1996 Ford F-250, equipped with Fireston Alaska Tundra wheels, shows off this huge vehicle. The diameter of its wheels is 305 cm.

There is no doubt that these Monster Cars or also called Bigfoot attract attention and with them the show is served.

If you’re wondering when they came into existence, we’d have to go back to the year 1975, when a motoring fanatic named Bob Chandler started designing the Bigfoot, which was the quintessential Monster Truck. He made it on the basis of a Ford F-250 and introduced it to the public in 1979.
