While here in the US we are only limited to one, let’s look at why our option is the better choice. Toyota, the largest automotive manufacturer in the world, is widely recognized as a brand of cheap, boring economy cars. The past few years, however, has garnered a shift in the narrative with the production of a series of enthusiast vehicles: the GR86 sports car, GR Supra, GR Yaris, and GR Corolla. The first two, while fantastic performance vehicles, are ridiculed for utilizing mainly Subaru and BMW hardware respectively. The latter two, however, are entirely Toyota’s doing. The Toyota GR Yaris…

A new 6X6 chassis and water jet fire suppression system make the HILOAD a fire department must-have for growing EV fires.

The Shawshank Redemption, upon its release, didn’t really get the reception it deserved. Making only $73 million, the film was an absolute bomb at the box office.

During the 1960s, the Chevrolet Corvette presented a distinct niche when it came to classification. Although it was technically a sports car, and advertised as such, its big-block engine options and aggressive styling have consequently left many to see these vintage ‘Vettes as muscular machines.

Are you after raw pedal-to-the-metal action without breaking the bank? These cheap performance sports cars offer just that. There was a time when a good sports car didn’t necessarily equate to a good performance car. Multiple examples of this exist throughout history: take the early Ford Mustang or the Mitsubishi GTO. Neither of these are slouches, but when you think about the all-round dynamics and qualities that a car must have to truly offer a high-performance drive, both aren’t quite as refined as a Mazda MX-5, for example. But in recent years, the ‘sports’ and ‘performance’ segments have found a common ground, and…

This was clear in Carwow’s YouTube video, in which a 2021 BMW M3 Competition takes on a Toyota Supra Mk4 from two decades earlier. The Supra Mk4 needs no introduction. JDM fans have promoted the 90s Toyota sports car to legendary status as they modded it to unimaginable limits. The…

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) Among the most evocative and honest of all car segments with its emphasis on undiluted thrills, aggressive designs, feelgood flavours and visceral driving, delivery and sounds, the muscle car started out as an affordable everyman’s answer to exotic European sports cars. A byword for American charm and excess in equal measure, the muscle car saw a resurgence of fortunes during the 2000s as retro automotive designs gained favour. But with the EV age just around the corner and imminent retirement of some segment stalwarts, only one true muscle car remains as an antidote to the unpalatable prospect…
