Created exclusively for HotCars by digital artist Timothy Adry Emmanuel, this 2023 GMC Syclone is for everyone out there who loves a fast pickup, but also loves the…

Katie Holmes’ daughter with ex-husband Tom Cruise, Suri, is all grown up, already sixteen years old, and unbelievably, she is nearly the same age her mom was when she took on her breakout role of Joey Potter on “Dawson’s Creek.” The hit show ran for six seasons, from 1998 until 2003, and on the year of its 20th anniversary, the actress revealed that she has in fact showed her early work to her teenage daughter.  Speaking with Variety about her latest projects, which includes an Off Broadway production titled The Wanderers and directing Rare Objects, she gave insight into Suri’s reaction to her debut small screen…

Although the Raptor R performance truck comes almost perfect from the factory, some upgrades make for an even more impressive ride. YouTube’s Speed Phenom recently took delivery of a Ford F-150 Raptor R – it’s a vehicle that is getting plenty of love and exposure since it came out last year. Most customers are plenty happy with the performance pickup and its combination of a powerful engine and rugged drivetrain, but Speed Phenom is planning to do a ‘day 1 upgrade’. Just one day after receiving the truck, the exhaust is getting a modification to sound louder. Many YouTubers convert their cars to a ‘straight…

D2K Motors on YouTube managed not just to rescue but also to breathe life into a hopeless Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that was abandoned in the woods. D2K Motors on YouTube recently found an abandoned 1980 gold Fireblade Trans AM that has long been forgotten. This car wasn’t in a garage or a barn either; this one was in the woods. Really, it was under the woods! The classic Pontiac was so covered in plants and vegetation that it appears that they may have walked right past it initially. We don’t know why the car was left to rot, but the license plate indicates…

Looking at one of the more polarizing new BMWs, YouTuber TheSketchMonkey takes a look at the new M4 CSL and had a lot to say about the design. BMW, the famous carmaker from Bavaria, has a long history of making some awesome sports cars. Every generation of M3 seems to have its own fan club. However, many fans had an initial mixed reaction to the company’s departure from their signature style with the introduction of a much larger “kidney” grille introduced on the newer 4 Series, M3, and M4 models. Looking at one of the more polarizing new BMWs, YouTuber, TheSketchMonkey, took a look at…

Alex Hirschi shows us the McMurtry Spéirling and explains how it can go from 0-60 mph in an insanely fast 1.4 seconds. It’s been over 4 decades since Gordon Murray’s BT46 fan car stirred up controversy at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix by beating a ground-effect Lotus 79. Not long after, several F1 competitors protested the BT46’s unfair advantage, and the car was subsequently banned as a “moveable aerodynamic device.” Now there’s a new fan car on the scene, and this time it’s an electric car. It also happens to be the world’s fastest in acceleration. In the video, Alex Hirschi from the YouTube…

Seldom-seen cars that evoke the heyday of the legendary shifter draw crowds to this Pennsylvania car show. Rarely do car enthusiasts get to see a Hurst-equipped muscle car, let alone several of them in one place. Hurst engineer, Don Glover, helped to bring them to the 2023 Mid-Atlantic Indoor Nationals in Oaks, Pennsylvania. In the video, YouTuber Pamela Hirschhorn captures the details of the awesome classic cars that made driving with a manual shifter cool again.

Burt Reynolds would be proud of this present-day take on the iconic sports car that’s a little bit of Camaro with a lot of nostalgia. When the first Pontiac Firebird arrived on the market in 1967, it was attempting to take on the very successful Ford Mustang. Not only that, but it also was competing with GM’s sibling muscle car, the Chevrolet Camaro. Although it did have its loyal fanbase, the Pontiac Firebird never really saw the success of the Mustang or other competing muscle cars until its final model year in 2002. In a new exclusive rendering, however, HotCars digital artist Timothy Adry Emmanuel revitalizes…

This supercar looks awesome and can reach a top speed of 217 mph, but its MPG rating is nothing to be envious of. There’s no doubt that the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport is a supercar worthy of great praise. It flaunts looks that gearheads 10 years ago could have only dreamed of and packs insane power to match its fierce exterior. Sure, it can reach a top speed of 217mph, but there is a catch. According to Fuel Economy Gov, the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport takes the top spot on the list of cars with the worst gas mileage, sitting just above the…

Over the years, both of these companies have taken part and won in a multitude of Motorsports including sports car racing and rallying. These incredible racing…

A little-known fact prohibited the father/daughter duo from interacting. Ever since Katie Holmes Houdini’ed herself out of her marriage to Tom Cruise in 2011, their daughter Suri Cruise has barely seen her father. Holmes went to great lengths to divorce Cruise, including using burner phones, holding secret meetings with her lawyers and ultimately ended up blind-sighting Cruise. Apparently, she left him “to protect Suri from Scientology,” Cruise admitted at the time. This week, news broke that 16-year-old Suri is starting to apply for college, but Cruise won’t get a say in where she goes. It’s made people wonder what exactly led to the estrangement…

There is no question that the church of Scientology has its own ways of working. And according to reports Tom Cruise’s connection with it might be the reason behind the estrangement from his daughter Suri Cruise. Recently it has come to light that the Mission Impossible star has not had any interaction with his daughter for the past several years. His association with the church also had a huge role to play in two of his divorce (Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman). And it all apparently has to do with certain rules of the organization. These rules allegedly prevent members from associating…

The Ford Mustang is muscle car royalty regardless of which generation it hails from, or which iteration it may be – from the legendary original model right through to later examples, each Mustang has earned a place in history as a muscle car to be treasured. Some models, however, are more special than others – and for many, the most special is this NASCAR fast, super-limited ’60s example, aptly named ‘the Boss’. Now almost 55 years since its inception, we can take a look back at exactly what made this muscle car an icon of not just the Mustang family, but also of the whole muscle…

Muscle cars are often associated with American cars. But some don’t know that the Japanese also have a muscle car of their own in a GT-R. Most will agree that America is home to the coolest muscle cars that you’ll ever see on the streets. You have the classics like the Yenko Camaro, Mustang Boss 429, and even the Dodge Charger 500. American car brands were already the leaders in building powerful muscle cars. But car manufacturers from Japan wanted to build cars differently by using the latest automotive technology that improves the car’s overall driving and performance. However, one Japanese car that…

The launch event of the new Dodge SRT Demon 170 was just as important as the legacy of the muscle car. Its straight-line acceleration is baffling The wait is over. Dodge has finally introduced the 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170, the fastest factory muscle car in the world.

Chevrolet’s Camaro is on the way out, and the Corvette C8 may have killed it off with its mid-engine generation upgrade and mass production rates. There was a time when the Chevrolet Camaro was a king of muscle cars. But the last few years have seen the Camaro on a steady decline. While the Corvette C8 has gone from strength to strength. Chevrolet may well have killed the Camaro with the new Corvette that burst onto the scene in 2020. A big change for the Corvette while the Camaro stayed the same as it had in 2016 certainly didn’t help GM’s muscle car. Chevrolet recently unveiled a special…

Now, the almost-17-year-old is starting the college process, but there is one person missing from this rite of passage: Tom Cruise.

The former Dawson’s Creek actress is close with her only child and she’s pleased that her daughter is “leaning towards” staying in Manhattan and pursuing a career in fashion. “Suri is applying to schools all over the place.…

No one’s making Singer Vehicle Design-level restomods on ‘70s AMC Gremlins, but this V8 concept shows why a hot hatch muscle car is perfect for 2023. There’s a reason why some people are prepared to pay half a million dollars or more, and wait a couple of years, for a Singer Vehicle Designs re-imagined Porsche 911. And that reason is the unbelievable attention to detail that goes into each restomodded 1980s Porsche 911. Now imagine that same mechanical and stylistic detail going into a relatively unloved American subcompact from the ‘70s. This 1972 AMC Gremlin X restomod concept makes sure you don’t…

Classic car designs of the golden post-war era are instantly recognizable, with many similar-looking cars to come from that first decade or so and many vehicles sporting aeronautical-inspired design features. Oldsmobile’s 88 Rocket is a space-inspired car if only by name, but thanks to today’s exclusive render courtesy of HotCars artist Rostislav Prokop, there is a modern take available that really does look more like a spaceship than a sports car. Let’s take a walk around the Restomod of a car…
