Tricked-Out Treats
This year for Halloween we decided to keep things simple with a fun list of interesting cars we’ve seen (or driven) recently, in the seasonally spooky colors of orange and black. Although some of these cars deliver frightening performance or sinister looks, we chose them because of their Halloween garb. Without a doubt, these vehicles would be a treat to drive on All Hallows’ Eve — or any other night of the year.

Lamborghini Aventador
Orange is a signature color for Lamborghini’s top supercar, the Aventador LP 700-4, which is powered by a 700-horspower V12 engine. Power gets delivered to all four wheels through a sophisticated permanent all-wheel drive system. While the thought of driving the $400,000 Aventador may be frightening to some, we would gladly drive it any chance we can get.

Chevrolet Camaro
The all-new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro goes on sale soon, featuring a design that is less retro and more modern than the 2010 model, which heralded Chevy’s return to the pony car market. Although nearly every car looks good in black, the new Camaro design really shines.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse
The fastest and most powerful production roadster in the world, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is capable of accelerating from zero to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, and goes on to 124 mph in 7.1 seconds and 186 mph in 16 seconds. This example finished in orange and black would be intimidating to even the most experienced driver — it has a record-setting top speed of 255 mph.

Jeep Renegade
More practical for everyday use but with scary off-road capability, the new compact Jeep Renegade Trailhawk crossover is offered with an orange and black paint scheme to rival its off-road ability. The Renegade can average more than 30 mpg on the highway and offers two available 4-wheel-drive systems.

Granted, the McLaren P1 supercar looks great in any color, but even in black formal attire the aerodynamic sophistication of the body is obvious.
