Games



Oddities return to Top Drives, and things are about to get weird. Expect mischief, twists, and plenty of curveballs along the way. Think you’re ready, or will it all throw you off track? Buckle up because pranks are primed, chaos is fuelled, and it’s time to race for your unique Oddities variants!



Just like last year we've got 4 cars with unique animations up for grabs! Here's some further details on the automotive wackiness coming your way!

Oh, and make sure to read all the way to the end to find out the full details on how to get your hands on these unique variants.




2014 Volkswagen Amarok Power Concept


Any DJs in need of a mobile rig, look no further than the 2014 Amarok Power Concept. It’s not just the bright orange details, LED lights and massive 22-inch wheels that make it into a party machine; it’s the 5000-watt soundsystem. It all folds up into the pick-up bed, and includes two huge speakers, subwoofers and a deck with its own stand. That won’t do wonders for the Amarok’s handling, but this rugged truck can surely handle the extra weight thanks to its powerful V6 TDI engine and chunky suspension set-up. The inside continues the theme, with a flat-bottomed wheel, leather sports seats, Alcantara and orange accents all over the place.

1988 Porsche 989



The headline pitch for the Porsche 989, at least with today’s context, is that it’s a very early version of the Panamera. The brand was starting to think about branching out from sports cars in the 1980s and one of the projects it began was this, a four-door saloon conceived to be the most practical car in the range. It needed to carry four passengers in comfort, with luggage space and the performance a Porsche buyer would expect thanks to a V8 engine up front. It has an interesting mix of design features, including 993-like front lights and 996-like rear ones thanks to the 911-like rear-end styling. Ultimately the project was canned as the company’s direction changed in the early 90s. Porsche finally took the plunge on building a four-door saloon in 2009 with the Panamera, and it’s still selling them today.

2025 Skoda L&K 130


Skoda has a long history with cycling, having started out producing bikes over a century ago and in the modern era, sponsoring numerous cycling events around the world. That’s why the brand let a bunch of students at the Skoda Academy in Mladá Boleslav design a car to be a cyclist’s dream vehicle. The result was the L&K 130, which bears company founders Václav Laurin and Václav Klement’s initials and is based on a 3rd-gen plug-in hybrid Superb Estate. The roof has been cut off at the rear and in its place is a pick-up bed with a rack for bicycles and space for the back wheels to neatly slot in. One of the rear doors has been modified to be able to slide open, allowing someone inside to assist cyclists mid-race, and there’s a fridge for cold drinks to be dispensed to the riders while on the move as well.

2008 Volvo Hot Rod Jakob by Caresto


In 1927 Volvo produced its first car, the ÖV4, later known as the Jakob. It was beautiful, but with only 28bhp, wasn’t much of a mover. In 2008 an homage to this model was revealed in the form of the Hot Rod Jakob by Caresto, built by well-known hot-rodder Lief Tufvesson and kitted out with a 261bhp five-cylinder Volvo engine of the same era. This engine is housed in a completely custom car with carbon-fibre elements and a bespoke body plus special wheels and tyres as well. It wasn’t just a modern Volvo made to look like a classic hot rod, but a ground-up project celebrating the brand’s past and present in 2008. Here’s hoping Volvo will see fit to build something even cooler for the ÖV4’s 100’s birthday next year.
