The direction for the Tacoma is not clear yet, but Toyota released an EV concept and the design patents of the new model leaked on the Tacoma4G forums not long ago. Inspired by these leaks of…

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were one of the defining power couples of the 2000s. The reasons weren’t all positive, however. As with all of Cruise’s marriages, his time with the former Dawson’s Creek actor was something of a strange public spectacle thanks to his involvement with the Church of Scientology. Holmes was distressingly quiet about her situation while married to the Top Gun star. Eventually, she had a dramatic split with both Cruise, and the clutches of the notoriously possessive Scientology leadership. While not all the details are public knowledge, there are a few shocking details out there about how Holmes got away from Scientology and…

Lou Costabile finds a rare Pegaso, aka the Flying Horse, that was gunning for the prancing horse brand during its heyday. When you think of Spain, you might think of sun, tapas, and great beaches—and probably not sports cars. However, the Spanish-built Pegaso Z102 had the reputation of being the fastest production car made in 1953. With this elegant and ingeniously-made “Flying Horse”, Spain threw down the challenge to Ferrari for a short time in the 1950s. At the Arizona Concours d’Elegance in Scottsdale, car enthusiast and YouTuber Lou Costabile shares what he learns about a striking 1954 Pegaso Z102 Berlinetta Series II.…
Vittorio Strosek’s enigmatic Diablo Strosek edition is one car deemed unsafe for the USA, as it is one extreme interpretation of the Diablo The Lamborghini Diablo is one of the Italian brand’s most famous and special products, but the Strosek Diablo isn’t quite as well known. The Strosek was one of the most extreme versions of the famous Italian supercar, a redesign by Vittorio Strosek who did not feel that the original design of the Diablo went far enough. What he created was a truly extreme interpretation of the Lamborghini supercar. Yet it was also one that was ultimately banned in the United States.…
The 2013 Shelby GT500 is a truly special muscle car, and the last Shelby Mustang that the legendary Carroll Shelby himself signed off on. Ford completely revolutionized the automotive industry when they launched the Mustang almost 60 years ago, in April 1964. The Blue Oval coined the term “pony car,” and the Mustang was one of the first ever cheap speed cars, not to mention, it was among the first to offer buyers endless customization options. Perhaps the best things to happen to the Ford Mustang was the introduction of a V8 powertrain, which happened thanks in part to Carroll Shelby.…
According to the YouTube channel Vehicle Virgins, the monthly cost to get into a Bugatti Chiron supercar is more than most people’s yearly salary. Being a gearhead can come with certain drawbacks if you decide to take the plunge into sports car or supercar ownership, as there is a raft of costs that come with enjoying an enthusiast vehicle. Just like any other car, a sports car comes with fuel, maintenance, insurance, depreciation, and repair costs, but many times the costs are just higher than an economical car or workhorse. Updated March 2023: The Chiron is still the most potent Bugatti model…

With lines from classic Nissan roadsters shaken up with modern features, the render brings back a little class to the drop-top coupe game. It’s possible that the car you imagine upon seeing the word DATSUN is a Z-car, an iconic Japanese machine from the 70s which went through various iterations and generations over the years. A car that perhaps wouldn’t come to mind is the Datsun Sports 2000 (SR311) – a sports car made for the 1967–1970 years, called the Datsun Fairlady in Japan, and was forerunner to the Nissan Fairlady Z or Datsun 240Z. This render from HotCars artist Timothy Adry Emmanuel pictures a modern-day…
Contrary to what you might think, a lot of people (including gearheads) sometimes confuse between hp and bhp. Although the automotive industry has progressed quite a bit, certain things remain unchanged. For example, if you’re in the market to buy any vehicle, be it a sports car or a pickup truck, engine performance (horsepower, in particular) is an inevitable metric. Just as important, if not more, than the list of features and amenities. However, there is a sense of ambiguity when discussing output. Is it engine horsepower (hp) or brake horsepower (bhp)? What about wheel horsepower (WHP)? What’s the difference between horsepower and torque?…
Thanks to emissions regulations, a Euro-spec C8 Z06 is noticeably slower than its American cousin. There’s no doubting how capable the Chevy Corvette Z06 is. As far as sports cars go, the C8 Z06 is right up there with some of the best in the business. In fact, the new-gen Z06 is so good that it even nudges the supercar realm, giving Ferraris and McLarens a run for their money. The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is very much a performance bargain. However, that may not be the case for versions sold across the pond. For instance, a base 2023 C8 Corvette has an MSRP…
Suri Cruise’s relationship with her parents has been the subject of a lot of debate; here’s how close she is with her mom, Katie Holmes. Being the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, there’s no doubt that Suri Cruise grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. Suri was born on April 18th, 2006 in Los Angeles California. To Katie, motherhood meant everything, and Tom was so excited that days after the birth of their baby he told abc20/20, “It was everything we wanted it to be… It was spiritual, it was powerful, it was indescribable.” Even though Katie Holmes and…
Katie Holmes had nothing but praise for her daughter Suri’s singing in the new film “Alone Together,” which was directed by and stars Holmes. “I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her,” the “Dawson’s Creek” actress said of Suri’s involvement in the project during a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment. According to Yahoo, the 16-year-old sings a cover of “Blue Moon” that plays at the beginning of the romantic comedy during the opening credits. “Alone Together” follows two people (played by Holmes and costar Jim Sturgess) in failing relationships who end up at the same Airbnb during…
This Frankenstein Chevy Camaro has been restored with modern parts to keep up with today’s muscle cars. This 1967 Chevy Camaro SS look like an old muscle car, but packs a mind-numbing 750hp being sent to the rear wheels. What is currently a Frankenstein car, had first started its life in 1967 as General Motors’ instant response to the widely popular Ford Mustang. The first-generation Camaro could either be bought with a 5.7-liter or a 6.5-liter big block V8 engine: cubic capacities that are most likely to be sniggered at by EV manufacturers and anyone downsizing engines to keep up with the…
If you’re a fan of the built-not-bought philosophy, this HotCars Exclusive widebody Mustang concept could be exactly what you’re looking for. As good as the 2024 Ford Mustang is, and as great as the new Mustang prices are, there’s something to be said for individuality.

And with prices starting at $30,920, expect it to sell like hot-sliders and literally be everywhere you look. That, and the fact that there’s maybe one screen too many in the seventh-gen Mustang, could turn some people…

The ’64 Pontiac LeMans GTO started the muscle car business but the 2004 Pontiac GTO ran out of steam – this render recaptures the original spark. Taking souls is today’s theme, not in the same way that David Goggins – military hero-turned ultra athlete-turned best-selling author – would use the term, but in the way that you can channel a long-lost icon to generate the same trend-shifting kind of power decades later. Most people can agree that muscle cars spawned from the Pontiac GTO in 1964, but the Pontiac GTO that came around four decades later was not so groundbreaking and marked the end…
The former couple adopted Connor as a child Connor Cruise’s passion for deep sea fishing is no secret and his latest catch has certainly caught the eye of his social media followers. The son of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise took to Instagram with a photo at sea with his crew and they displayed what they had reeled in. Connor, 27, and his fishing friends proudly stood in a line with the enormous fish laid neatly out in front of them.

The 10th-generation Ford Thunderbird provides a conceptual render rival to the SN-95 Mustang when it comes to an understated, fast Bullitt edition. JLord8 on Instagram has been busy making ‘Bullitt’ versions of a range of cars. For those not familiar with the iconic Bullitt Mustang it’s a first-generation Ford Mustang that appeared in the Steve McQueen feature film and spawned various special editions later on. The recipe is simple, take a dark-ish green color – ‘Highland Green’ was the original shade – add the same, black-rimmed Mustang wheels from the original classic car and that’s it. The car from the movie was an understated affair…
The Super Bee 440 Six Pack is quite a rare sight in its current U.K. home but few know its true origins. Peter Green is a soft-spoken British man whose obsession for powerful American cars goes back some 50 years when, at 19 years old, he bought a beat-up 1965 Chevy Impala 327. Ever since, he’s owned a slew of these cars, including a 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt. But the one that might be his last car—at least until he tires of it, as he says—is a 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 440 Six Pack A12 tribute car. Have a look at…
These cool aftermarket parts will help you transform your classic or modern Dodge Charger into a better-performing muscle car.

There’s a lot to love about the Charger, but one key reason why gearheads adore it is its ease of modification. The…
