Do you want to build the baddest car in the Wasteland?

When you’re grinding Roadkill enemies to dust or snatching hood ornaments from a convoy, you know that building the right car is super important. Especially if you’re going to survive the vast apocalyptic landscape in Mad Max and keep your pal Chumbucket happy. 

The customization options are truly endless, from spiked wheels that shred anything they come in contact with, to side burners that will burn your enemies to ash. Among the sea of gamers posting their epic builds, it can be hard to decide which one is right for you. 

YouTube channel Chris Spooner Motoring makes it easy with amazing builds that really stand out from the rest. Each build is tailored to a specific type of destruction that is sure to make Chumbucket fall in love and leave your enemies shaking in their worn-out boots.

Here are the top 5 Mad Max car builds that will cause ultimate mayhem across the Wasteland.

5. "The Inferno"

“There’s a Wasteland saying, Saint, ‘Play with fire, burn.’ I say, not many will play with us now!”

Burn baby, burn! 

This build is all about setting fire to anything and everything around you.

Featuring maxed out side burners, the Humongous Big Chief V8 engine, the Ferocious Frame, The Major Lift suspension, Sandslider tires, and the stylish President Exhaust, this car is made to destroy anything in its path.

While it lacks the security of boarder spikes and a ramming grill, it’s not needed on this build. Anyone dumb enough to get near this car is burnt to ash before they can even give it a second thought. The Black Tar paint job and red flame decals add to the theme, giving this car its “Hell-on-wheels” look.

What makes “The Inferno” so great:

• Top Speed
• Excellent Handling
• The ability to burn EVERYTHING

4. "The War Tank"

“Praise the heavy armor frame! Does it not make you wanna jump with joy? But alas, she now weighs like a tank.”

This build makes you an unstoppable force of solid metal.

Equipped with the fat body of the Die Rolla, Ferocious Armor, the Clawjaw Kill Grill, the Standard V6, Stock Exhaust, Stiff Stock Springs, Dune Cups tires, and a maxed-out Thunderpoon, this car is an impenetrable fortress on wheels.

Built to ride low and slow, this car is more about defense than speed or agility. Rather than hunting down your enemies, let them come to you, where Chumbucket can blow them sky-high with the Thunderpoon. A camouflage body color adds to the tank-like appearance of this solid car.

What makes “The War Tank” so great:

• Practically indestructible
• Added traction on sand
• The ability to blow Roadkill into dust

3. “The Rambuster”

“This is the grill grail, the mother of all mowers. With this you’re as tough as tough come and nearly impossible to slay when on your way. But of course, you pay the price in heft.”

This build lets you plow through your enemies like a wrecking ball on wheels.

Sporting the sleek Shovelface body, massive Clawjaw Kill Grill, Big Chief V8, President Exhaust, Big Buddy Bars, Dual Groovies tires, and Grindmaster Rims, this car lets you mow down anything in your way.

Like a freight train on wheels, the super-powerful Quad Nitro Boost lets you slam into your enemies before they even know what hit ‘em. The stylish Desert Skull hood ornament gives you an extra attack boost, aside from just looking cool.

What makes “The Rambuster” so great:

• Superb ramming power
• Top speed on sand and asphalt
• The Quad Nitro Boost gives you even more power to do maximum damage

2. “The Impaler”

“Spikes protruding from all points of her delicate skin will keep the infidels from touching her with their godless fingers!”

This build allows you to pierce your enemies like a hot knife through butter for maximum carnage.

With the sleek Furnace body, Whole Body Barbs, Grindmaster rims, Dune Cups tires, Road Captain exhaust, and a maxed-out harpoon weapon, this car ensures that nobody will try to board your ride without some bloodshed.

This menacing car will not only strike fear in your enemies, but it makes sure that none of them will escape your wrath. Whether you’re shredding vehicles like they’re tin cans or snatching Roadkill from straight out of the driver’s seat, the Red Oxide paint job hides those pesky blood splatters. Even though this car lacks a ramming grill or body armor, its fearsome looks and piercing abilities are more than enough to keep enemies away.

Why “The Impaler” is so great:

• Attacks enemies from a distance
• Excellent traction on sand
• Whole Body Barbs keep boarders away

1. “The Death Racer”

“Hail the Big Chief, perfected and glorious! It is truly risen to the higher spheres! Joyous tidings!”

This build will have you leaving Crow Dazzle’s ragtag gang of racers in your dust.

Featuring the hot rod body style of the Death Rattle, the Big Chief V8, President Exhaust, Big Whammy Lift Kit suspension, Slick Rubs tires, and Full Quad Nitro boost, this car is the ultimate speed machine.

Whether you want to win every Death Run, or just fly through the open Wasteland, this car has everything you need. With its superb handling and ultra-fast top speed, there’s nothing you can’t outrun. This build favors speed and performance over defense and destruction, so it lacks armor and weapons, but it doesn’t matter when you’re faster than anything that moves. Having a fully upgraded repair speed helps Chumbucket keep you rolling, so you never miss a beat.

For maximum performance, equip a speed-boosting hood ornament such as the Smegma Cross or the Bearclaw’s Mask. The Gold Tar body color glints in the sun as you streak past your enemies and prove to Crow Dazzle that your soul truly is bound to your vehicle.

What makes “The Death Racer” so great:

• Excellent handling on both sand and asphalt
• Ultimate hot rod styling of the Death Rattle body with top speeds from the Big Chief V8
• The ability to outrun everything that moves with the Full Quad Nitro Boost
