There is something awesome about vintage bodied pre-runner trucks, and this dentside F100 is a great example. My uncle had a SuperCab back then, and even though I was never a Ford fan growing up I still dug it. If it was a long travel pre-runner like this, I definitely would have dug it even more. So when I saw this feature video, including some high speed whoops, I knew I had to share it. Whether you are a classic Ford fan or not, you’ll like this one. Who wants a long travel truck after watch

Last year, the Bovensiepen Zagato was revealed, a coachbuilt masterpiece based on the BMW M4 Convertible. This stunning machine is a collaboration between luxury automotive brand Bovensiepen and iconic Italian design firm Zagato. At the time of its reveal, we didn’t know how much it would cost or the full extent to which it could be customized, but the company has now shared this information. Let’s just say that this dramatically prettier “M4” comes with a price tag that’s far in excess of anyth

Happy 25th, BMW Hams Hall Plant When it comes to vehicle assembly, we often think of the entire car. The thing is, some plants are dedicated to churning out engines, and an example of that is BMW's plant in Hams Hall, Birmingham. This year, it turns 2025, and there's a good chance that the engine in your Mini or Rolls-Royce came from there. It opened in 2001 with its first product being the N42 engine that saw service in many four-cylinder BMW products. Since then, over 7.6 million engines have

What is Marcos? The British car industry is, or rather, was awash with plucky sports car manufacturers. Some prime examples include TVR, Westfield, and Lotus. The thing is, those marques seem to be constantly on the brink of bankruptcy, or have been resurrected more times than Lazarus with mixed results. Marcos is one of several who have seen many revivals over the decades. Established in 1959 by Jem Marsh and Frank Costin, it built several lightweight coupes and roadsters, along with pint-sized

Peak Personalization Given Bugatti’s ultra-rare status, owning one of the French marque’s cars is already the ultimate statement piece. This Bugatti Bolide owner, however, took things a step further by personalizing the hypercar to match his Gulfstream G550 private jet. Beverly Hills–based car dealer O’Gara Coach showcased the two elite vehicles side by side on Instagram. Both wear the Bolide’s familiar two-tone black-and-blue paint scheme, with the blue shade paying homage to French Racing Blue

A Bugatti Chiron with more than 100,000 miles on the odometer is making the rounds online, a number that feels almost impossible in a world where most hypercars live quiet lives between climate controlled garages and concours lawns. The photos, courtesy of supercar photographer Alex Penfold, show an odometer reading of 175,797 kilometers, about 109,235 miles, which would put it among the highest mileage Chirons ever seen publicly and likely the highest that has surfaced with clear documentatio

Buick’s US Lineup Looks Very Different Buick has quietly shifted to an all-SUV roster in the US, with the Envista, Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave covering the bases. There’s no full EV in the mix, and none of these models really stretch the boundaries when it comes to tech. Over in China, Buick plays a very different game. The brand still carries significant prestige there, and the company has used that market to experiment with more ambitious products and interior concepts. Case in point: ear

What Is It? The Sealion 6 DM-i is BYD's entry in the compact crossover market. Mind you, BYD does have a lot of cars that are in that segment, but the Sealion 6 is, by far, one of its more popular models. It's also known as the Song Plus in its home market of China and Latin America, and the Seal U over in Europe. There are loads of trims and powertrain choices to choose from, from plug-in hybrid to full electric. The Sealion 6, in its current form, came out in 2023, although the original model

The Chevrolet Corvette has always been one of America’s most iconic sports cars, but many enthusiasts believe the current C8 generation has already crossed the line to full-blown supercar. Digital designer Khyzyl Saleem, better known online as the_kyza, wondered what would happen if that evolution continued. His digital concept, called the C8-X, takes inspiration from the CX and CX.R Gran Turismo concepts to conceive the wildest Corvette yet. While no prototype details have been shared, we assum

Slow and steady wins the race? Under normal circumstances, we only hear about Germany’s infamous Nürburgring track when a supercar, hypercar, or some obscure exotic vehicle shatters some sort of record. In this instance, however, it’s quite the opposite. Ligier, a French automaker, sent its JS50 Revo D+ microcar across the border with the sole purpose of taking the title of slowest lap time. Ligier

If you’re the proud owner of a Nissan or Infiniti powered by a VQ-series V6 engine and want to show it off at the May 9 Supercar Saturday event in Omaha, Nebraska, tough luck—you’re banned. Yes, you read that right, the organizers of the car show have decided that people who drive Nissan 350Z and 370Z sports cars, as well as Infiniti G35, G37, and Q60 coupes, are banned from attending the show. You can’t even turn up in a VQ-powered Infiniti G25, Q40 or Q50 either, as these sedans are also on th

Ford Festiva: A Brief History For anyone who remembers the Ford Festiva, you either have bad knees, have reading glasses, or both. It's a bit of a forgotten car in Ford's back catalog, and it served as the company's entry-level hatchback in various markets, including North America. The Festiva was sold in the U.S from mid-1986 to 1993. The Festiva was actually developed by Mazda and originally intended for the Japanese market. Kia was then licensed to build it, naming it the Pride, and it was pr

When the Porsche Cayenne first appeared, many thought the automaker had lost its marbles, but it's proven to be immensely successful—so much so that there are now Cayenne Coupes, Cayenne EVs, and, as of today, Cayenne Coupe EVs. But not all of Porsche's SUV concepts have seen the light of day, and the first-generation Cayenne Convertible that the Porsche Museum has shared on Instagram is proof that not all of them deserve to. Around the time the first Cayenne appeared, Porsche was struggling to

Not Your Average Camaro The Chevrolet Camaro has gone through several iterations since its introduction in the late 1960s before being discontinued in 2024, but none compare to this MY2010 example listed on Bring a Trailer. That’s because this Camaro, dubbed “Turbinaro,” is powered by a Boeing T50 turboshaft engine said to be sourced from a military aircraft, complete with a dedicated overhead panel and an afterburner, effectively merging the worlds of aviation and automotive. However, it is far

If you don’t follow Jasmine Green, aka Stout Metalcraft on YouTube and @six_four_stout on Instagram, then you are missing out on some ultra cool metal shaping videos. This 1964 Toyota Stout is turning into something truly special. Nothing I say will convey the level of customization that is going on with regards to the sheet metal on this little mini truck. We’re talking shaping, bead rolling, frenching, and so much more. She’s making panels from scratch to look like Toyota made them, even thoug

Volkswagen is giving its China-market mid-size sedan a serious electrified upgrade. The new Passat plug-in hybrid, badged Passat ePro, debuts as a China-only model with a bigger battery, much longer EV range and the kind of tech-heavy cabin Chinese buyers now expect. It’s also an important piece of VW’s local new-energy strategy at a time when its global finances are under real pressure.

Range Isn't The Only Key These days, a lot of automakers are quite proud of the longer ranges that their batteries can do. After all, we're at the point where we're starting to see them come close to the engines. It does help quell fears of range anxiety, but there's another factor to consider. That would be battery life. We're not just talking about percentages here. We're talking about how much charge the packs can still hold even after hundreds of thousands of miles. Whether it's a mobile pho

It's Called the What? Granted, words in Mandarin don't necessarily translate too well in literal English, but a company called Starry Sky Automotive has built itself a supercar prototype. The Chinese upstart aims to compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini and will show it in the metal at next month's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), alongside another Chinese startup that will bring a pair of show cars. Now, Googling Starry Sky Automotive was a tough ask. It appears the company is so ne

Not Your Usual Amphibious Experiment Amphibious vehicles have been around for a while, but most of them feel more like engineering projects than practical daily drivers. Not the modern ones, though. We’ve already seen BYD’s Yangwang U8 wade through surprisingly deep water, proving that a fully electric platform can be sealed and protected well enough to survive the elements. Another Chinese marque, Jetour (a brand under Chery Automobile), is now entering this space with the G700 Ark Edition, but

A 1974 BMW 2002tii is up for auction on Cars and Bids, and it is the kind of listing that reminds you how much of BMW’s modern identity was built on small, light sedans with sharp responses and simple hardware. Finished in Inka Orange and showing 18,300 miles, it is presented as a clean title California car, and it mixes period charm with a handful of owner style updates that will matter to bidders who want to drive it regularly.

Don’t Judge This Truck by Its Sheetmetal Icon 4x4 showcased the depth of its customization capabilities with the 30th build of its Thriftmaster pickup restomod program, which is based on classic Chevrolet trucks. While this hand-built vehicle retains the outward appearance of a typical 1950s-era pickup, it was engineered with high performance in mind—making it a sleeper by design. Chief among the modifications is the GM E-Rod 6.2-liter LS3 small-block V8, which produces 440 horsepower, represent

Amid rumors of its delay, budgetary spirals and legal challenges, the boss of the Volkswagen-owned Scout Motors says the company’s electric and range-extender revivals of the classic International Scout 4x4 are still ‘full steam ahead’. Of course, the whole ‘electric’ part of the equation might be a sticking point for many in the current turbulent EV market, but if the idea of a capable 4x4 blending classic Scout styling with a modern powertrain still appeals, then there are other ways, such as

There are many boutique car companies out there that specialize in restoring and modifying old cars, and the restomod projects they craft are every bit as spectacular as those coming from established (and high-end) names like Singer Vehicle Design, Eagle, Emory Motorsports, Icon 4×4, Mechatronik, or Alfaholics. If you want to breathe new life into your classic car, you’ve got lots of small workshops that can make your vision come true. Owners of old Mercedes-Benz cars are spoiled for choice in t

When a buddy of mine saw this thing on Facebook Marketplace, and shared it to a group chat, I took one look at it and thought that a smart person would buy this thing, bag it, and then road trip the hell out of  it. A smarter person would probably just buy it and drive it, but I’m not that smart. It’s got a 413 in it, which is cool as hell, and it makes real power so it should drive really nice. This is a luxury ride, and with fresh interior and paint it just needs some finishing touches, and it

Wanna be a repo person? A car repossession is one of the worst things that can happen to a driver. A repo damages your credit beyond repair for years and leaves you without the means of transportation you likely need. It’s an unfortunate dark side of the auto loans industry, and one company is making it easy for just about anyone to get in on repossessions. DRN, which is effectively the central nervous system of the repossession industry, sells everything from cameras that scan license plates an
