This race-derived version of the Toyota MR2 is so unique that nobody has heard of it. Many car companies like Toyota wanted to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans as it’s one of the most prestige and grueling races ever. During the 90s GT1 class, a rule stated that you cannot compete in the category without a homologated, street-legal version of the race car. SARD (Sigma Advanced Research Development) spearheaded the production of the MC8, a souped-up version of the legendary Toyota MR2. The MC8 was the road-going version of the MC8-R race car driven in the GT1 class of the…
Whether they’re pop-culture icons or look extremely fast, something all of these Euro sports cars have in common is a sheer lack of power. Since the 1900s, European automakers have been the dominant force in manufacturing badass super cars, such as the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport which managed to record a mind-boggling official top speed of 304,7 mph in 2019. European luxury cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini have won several awards at automotive events, such as the renowned Geneva motor show. European cars generated great sales across the globe, which shows how renowned they are compared to their contemporaries in other regions. However,…
Take a look at the list we have compiled of dependable sports cars that you will enjoy driving for many years without breaking the bank. Some sports cars make a fantastic used buy. Quite a few of them are now victims of depreciation, but they’re still cool, fast, and mostly good-looking. They also make for a great second car if you’re looking for a fun daily driver. Not to mention, there have been tons of underappreciated sports cars from the last decade that are easily accessible. A big concern when buying a used car is reliability. Indeed, many older sports cars proved hideously unreliable, but it doesn’t…

Cars of John Wick: The Boogeyman and American muscle© Provided by Hagerty Media John Wick is a rarity in the modern movie landscape. Though it is a successful Hollywood franchise, there was no prior source media for the 2014 film that kicked off this action-film craze. The tale follows Keanu Reeves’ titular character, a legendary retired hitman who, while mourning the loss of his wife to cancer, suffers considerable indignity: The ignorant son of a Russian gangster kills his Beagle puppy, a gift from his late love. Adding insult to injury, the perpetrator also steals his car. This premise isn’t the point,…
With the price of Muscle cars ever-rising. Here are 10 that won’t break the bank, or themselves. Muscle cars have been around for well over sixty years now, and have produced some of the best-performance machines throughout that time. The modern car industry is seeing a Renaissance of muscle cars: a rebirth of many of the classic icons of the ’60s and ’70s, combined with modern technology. The muscle car world is probably in the best place it ever has been since the dreaded fuel embargo of the early ’70s, and with that comes increased attention and increased prices. Finding a great muscle…
The Prohibition era planted the seed for the muscle car, with bootleggers and hot rodders inspiring the high-powered vehicles we know today. The Prohibition era in the United States from 1920 to 1933 was a tumultuous time that not only banned alcohol but paved the way for what would eventually become the muscle car. This period in American history created a need for bootleggers to transport illegal alcohol quickly and efficiently. As a result, high-powered vehicles were born. These cars eventually evolved into the muscle cars we know and love today. Prohibition played a crucial role in inspiring the creation of muscle cars.…
With a new supercharged V8 and sleek new styling, HotCars artist Rostislav Prokop’s Ford Capri concept enters the modern muscle car scene with a bang. When talking about European muscle cars, the default is often a Mercedes-Benz AMG or maybe even an Aston Martin. Certainly, these cars easily meet the criteria to be considered muscle cars: they have big V8s (or even larger), rear-wheel-drive, a fairly lightweight two-door body, and the ability to flex between street driving and drag racing. Although lacking a V8 engine (the South African Perana model had a 5.0-liter Windsor V8), some consider the original Ford Capri to be…
Top Gun: Maverick grossed over $1.4 billion on a budget of $170 million and secured its place as one of the biggest hits of 2022. The movie has also received 6 Oscar nominations, including one in the best picture category, and just like that Tom Cruise has become the prince of Hollywood. It seems like the global success of Top Gun: Maverick has boosted the actor’s ego and made him feel like he belongs in the film industry. But the star isn’t stopping anytime soon. Tom Cruise Is Back In Hollywood Tom Cruise in Top Gun Maverick A source of Life & Style spoke…
Despite organising a Top Gun style fly-past by two U.S. Navy fighter jets, which roared over the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood at the start of the night, the Academy could not tempt Tom Cruise to their main event. The planes came from the Flying Eagles squadron at a nearby military airbase, and a spokesman for the Academy later said: ‘A huge thank you to the U.S. navy for helping execute a once-in-a-lifetime Oscars opening.’ It likely cost them nothing, but was a massive favour nonetheless — not to mention the biggest plug imaginable for Top Gun: Maverick. And yet, as the dust settles for another…
Tom Cruise has received zero nominations at the 2023 Golden Globes Awards, which is being speculated as due to the actor formally returning his previous awards to Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 2021. According to The Hollywood Reporter, while the Tom Cruise-starring Top Gun: Maverick was nominated in the category of Best Motion Picture (Drama), the Golden Globes has surprisingly not given him the nod for his acclaimed performance in the film. Rumor has it that the snub could be due to Tom Cruise returning his Golden Globe Awards in 2021 in a symbolic protest against the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the body which governs the…

Muscle cars are popular far and wide and can cost a lot of money to buy, but here are some that could also break the bank with their upkeep. Unlike sports cars, muscle cars are more suitable as daily drivers, even if they aren’t always the most sensible choice for serious grocery runs. Since muscle cars have roomy interiors and decent cargo space combined with ample horsepower, it’s no surprise that they remain one of the most popular targets on the classic car market. The most reliable classic cars withstand regular use and won’t spend more time in the shop for repairs than…
Be prepared to shell out some real cash if you’ve got your eye on one of these classic American muscle cars. No gearhead can resist the growls and roars of a true classic muscle car. Even though it has been more than 40 years since the height of the muscle era, these beasts remain in high demand. Fortunately, American muscle cars were generally affordable when they first rolled off the line, and even decades later, you can still find a good deal on a used muscle car (though you’ll probably have to pay a pretty penny for parts). Occasionally, a…

Here’s all the awesome muscle cars the silent assassin drives in the four John Wick movies. Remember, just don’t try and steal one. The John Wick series of movies starring everyone’s favorite gearhead Keanu Reeves may be classified as an action movie, but it’s got plenty to offer gearheads themselves.

SUVs will never be able to match the style and handling of a sleek wagon like this render concept that fuses muscle car attitude with family vibes. Pontiac’s GTO and Firebird/Trans Am are legendary models from another era, nameplates that ceased in the early-to-mid 00s. You might point to the Firebird Trans Am and its related variants as the most iconic performance Pontiacs, but the SLP Firehawk not only has a cool name, it was a great limited-run special model. Even better, this render from JLord8 on Instagram fuses the Firehawk with a practical wagon body style that turns it into possibly one…
