Ten Video Game Vehicles With A Cartoony Redesign

I could totally watch a special episode of Wacky Races with artist Ido Yehimovitz's re-imagined video game cars leading the way.

Trevor with his pickup could easily replace Dick Dastardly, but not even he could stop Axel's taxi from Crazy Taxi. I guess the titular tank from the Metal Slug series is already cartoony in the games, but nevertheless these illustrated versions all look fantastic.

I love the look of Sweet Tooth's Ice Cream Truck! The Warthog looks pretty great too. But the tank from metal slug looks pretty much exactly how it looks in my head. I'll have to look up what it looks like in the game.

*Edit* Doesn't look a whole lot different to me...
