We are two months away from the theatrical release date of F9, the latest installment of The Fast Saga, and yet quite a few enthusiasts still consider 2001 s original to be the best of the series. Speaking of which, the race we have here seems to bring a more than you can afford, pal scenario in which a Toyota Supra battles an Italian exotic. 6 photos
The infamous Mk IV Supra manhandled by the late Paul Walker has been replaced by the MK V incarnation of the Japanese machine. And while its opponent is still a rear-wheel drive, mid-engined beast with an open-top, the Ferrari F355 Spider s place has been taken by a Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD Spyder.

Anybody who hasn t been living under a rock large enough to interfere with the signal is well aware of the fact that the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX makes for the kind of truck you can expect to see at the drag strip. But what about the Ford Flex? 6 photos
Now, before any
weird flex, but okay jokes start flying, allow us to point out that the full-size crossover we have here has been taken down the aftermarket route. We re looking at an example fitted with the optional twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, which delivers 355 hp in factory form (make that 365 ponies starting with the 2013 model year).

Depending on its condition, a Lancia Stratos HF will set you back north of $500,000 these days. However, that value somehow seems small if we compare it to the reputation of the rally-bred icon. As the artist behind the modern version portrayed in this rendering aptly puts it, how do you even approach the idea of playing with such a legend? 9 photos
Born back in the early 1970s, the Stratos HF not only became a force to be reckoned with in the infamous Group B but offered a road-going version that was equally impressive to drive.
Then there s the design, which makes for one of the finest the revolutionary wedge era had to offer; these styling cues, which look as striking today as they did five decades ago, are the work of Marcello Gandini, who served Bertone at the time.

There s always been a bit of a debate regarding the labeling of the third-generation of Chevrolet and GMC pickup trucks. GM introduced these as the rounded line, mostly due to the design of the cab, which stood out among other trucks of the early 1970s. However, certain gearheads refer to them as square bodies because of the. body s appearance, especially when judged by modern standards. Well, the rendering we have here introduces a third approach, namely a Coke bottle shape. 11 photos
Used frequently on muscle cars from that era, this type of styling obviously revolves around a narrow center section joined by flared fenders that give the impression of a classic Coca-Cola bottle silhouette.
Nissan GT-R Rustzilla Shows Its Age in Ratty Rendering 19 Apr 2021, 8:23 UTC ·
by Has the current R35 Nissan GT-R been with us for that long? we hear you asking. Well, you could use the rendering we have here, which portrays the Japanese machine with quite a bit of rust, as a metaphor for the age of the beast, with this having entered production in December 2007. 9 photos
For the moment, Nissan will only talk about the new Z Car, whose production version should arrive later this year as a 2022 model. As for the GT-R, the only thing the carmaker has made clear so far is that the halo model has a future. Obviously, most rumors on the topic talk about hybridization, with 2022 or 2023 expected for the release of the machine.
