Tiny Suzuki Cappuccino gets upgrades to challenge an MX-5

This video follows DRIVETRIBE as they continue modifying Yuki, a tiny Suzuki Cappuccino, to see if it can become quick enough to challenge a Mazda MX-5. The team starts with a small 0.6L turbo kei car, but the project quickly reveals serious rust underneath, including multiple repair patches and rear corrosion that could affect its road test. Despite the bad news, they install HKS upgrades including a custom exhaust, high-flow filter, new spark plugs, lambda sensor, and an upgraded ECU. After some adjustment, the little turbo engine sounds far more aggressive, with the goal of raising power from 63 HP to around 100 HP.

Top Gear Africa special cars finally found in Uganda

The lost cars from Top Gear’s Africa Special have finally been traced in Uganda, revealing very different fates for the famous adventure machines. James May’s Volvo 850R looks badly worn but may still run, while the Ford Scorpio backup car appears much rougher after water and electrical damage. Jeremy Clarkson’s BMW 528i Touring seems to have survived best, with local plates and signs of restoration back toward standard condition. Richard Hammond’s Subaru was not shown in the main discovery photos, but reports suggest it may still be driven locally. It is a surprising update on some of Top Gear’s most memorable road-trip cars.

Mazda MX-5 V10 project hits rust and engine delays

This video follows the ambitious plan to fit a custom V10 engine into a Mazda MX-5, but the project quickly becomes more complicated than expected. The 2.0-liter VR10 engine faces major development delays because of crankshaft machining and oil pressure problems, forcing the team to rethink parts of the build. At the same time, the MX-5 shell needs serious rust repair around the chassis rails, floor rails and body panels before it can handle the conversion. Because the original 14,000 RPM V10 is not ready yet, Mike Fernie reveals a Plan B: sourcing another V10 engine to get the restored MX-5 running sooner while the custom engine continues development.

Lotus Evija attacks a hillclimb bend at full electric power

A bright green Lotus Evija carves through a bend during a hillclimb run, its distinctive tunneled rear haunches and black carbon fiber bodywork contrasting sharply against the vivid paintwork. As Lotus's first fully electric hypercar, the Evija relies on four electric motors to deliver instant power without the traditional engine note associated with cars in this performance class. Hay bales line the edge of the course, a standard safety measure at hillclimb events where cars run close to the track boundary at speed. The car's aggressive front splitter, sculpted air channels through the body, and low ground clearance all point to serious aerodynamic engineering focused on maximizing downforce. Dense trees frame the narrow road, typical of the demanding courses used to showcase extreme performance machinery in a controlled setting. Watching the Evija pushed through a real corner offers a rare look at how this limited-production electric hypercar behaves when driven with genuine commitment rather than displayed statically.

The new Cayenne Turbo EV makes 1,139 HP - and has a claimed 162 MPH top speed

The new Porsche Cayenne Turbo EV combines SUV practicality with performance figures normally associated with serious supercars. Its electric powertrain produces a claimed 1,139 horsepower and 1,106 lb-ft of torque, while Porsche quotes a 0-60 MPH time of just 2.4 seconds and a top speed around 162 MPH. A 113-kWh battery supports the enormous performance, with fast charging from 10 to 80 percent claimed to take only 16 minutes. The Cayenne EV lineup offers a claimed range of roughly 480 to 545 kilometers depending on configuration. On the road, the Turbo's acceleration is immediate and violent enough to raise an obvious question - has Porsche built an SUV that can challenge its own 911?

Cars that looked boring in the 1990s, but became secret enthusiast favorites

The 1990s produced plenty of sports cars that announced themselves with spoilers, scoops, and bright paint. But some of the decade’s most interesting performance machines looked like ordinary family sedans, sensible wagons, or cars your accountant might have driven to work. Years later, enthusiasts have learned that some remarkably entertaining hardware was hiding beneath all that beige-era restraint.

Rally2 Yaris roars through full throttle accelerations

The Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 unleashes an aggressive turbocharged soundtrack with launch control, rolling anti lag, rapid gear changes, and raw exhaust sounds captured under full load. Hard launches put the engine instantly into boost, while the anti lag system helps keep turbo response sharp between throttle changes and produces explosive exhaust notes that define the car’s competition focused character. As the Rally2 Yaris accelerates through the gears, turbo spool, mechanical noise, and sharp exhaust bursts combine into a compact but intense motorsport soundtrack. Rolling anti lag adds another layer of drama by keeping the engine responsive even before full throttle acceleration begins. For fans of the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2, rally cars, launch control, rolling anti lag, turbo exhaust sounds, sequential gearboxes, full boost acceleration, and raw Toyota motorsport audio, this is a focused showcase of Toyota’s modern customer rally machine.

10 Hyundais that outclassed expectations & 10 that explain the old stigma

Hyundai spent most of the 1980s and '90s as the setup to a joke. The cars were cheap, they drove like it, and late-night hosts got a decade of easy material out of them. Then something shifted around 2009, and by the time the Palisade and the Ioniq 5 arrived, the same company was winning comparison tests against Honda and Toyota. Both versions of Hyundai are real, and the gap between them is one of the strangest arcs in modern car history. Here's 10 that earned the turnaround, and 10 that explain the old stigma.

Canadian auto-parts delays are turning two-week repairs into one- or two-month waits at US body shop

A family-owned collision centre in Louisville, Kentucky, says delays obtaining Canadian-sourced components are stretching repairs that would normally take about two weeks into waits of one or even […]

North Korea ordered 1,000 cars - then never paid for them

North Korea has the lowest rate of car ownership in the world, yet somehow its streets are filled with Mercedes-Benz sedans, imported luxury SUVs, and even decades-old Volvos that were never paid for. In this episode, we uncover the bizarre and often unbelievable history of automobiles in one of the world's most isolated countries. From Soviet-inspired factories and homemade Mercedes clones to international sanctions, black market smuggling networks, and the largest automotive theft in history, this is the story of how North Korea built its car culture despite being largely cut off from the global automotive industry. We'll explore the country's philosophy of self-reliance, the rise and fall of its domestic car manufacturers, the infamous Volvo deal that remains unpaid more than 50 years later, and the elaborate schemes used to bring luxury vehicles into the country. Along the way, we'll examine what cars reveal about power, status, and everyday life inside North Korea, where even a simple drive can represent a rare taste of personal freedom.

I found a 58-year-old car with only 1,000 miles on it - and bought it

Richard receives an incredible 1968 classic car that Dennis found near Dayton, Ohio, with only around 1,000 original miles and an almost completely untouched appearance. The story is that a young woman got the car around the time she received her driver’s license, but discovered that taking the city bus was cheaper than paying for gas, so the car ended up spending most of its life parked in a garage. It still has all five original tires, an amazingly preserved interior, original markings, dealer-installed air conditioning with its paperwork, and only minor paint touch-ups from decades of storage. The crew believes it may be the lowest-mileage 1968 example they could find records for and debates whether something this original belongs in a museum rather than being modified. After inspecting it closely, Richard decides to keep the remarkable time capsule.

Can a 707 HP Dodge Charger work as a daily driver?

DriveTribe takes on a Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody as its new daily driver, powered by a 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 with 707 HP. The car delivers supercar-level performance for far less money than many European rivals, but using it every day in Britain brings real challenges. Its left-hand-drive layout, huge width and aggressive power make narrow country roads feel demanding, while the cabin has some cheap plastics and awkward controls. The team also plans to wrap the body for filming, test its real power on a dyno and see whether this wild V8 muscle car can truly handle daily life.

Audi A4 uses 750 Nm of diesel torque to conquer the Nürburgring

The Audi A4 3.0 TDI becomes a serious Nürburgring surprise with 750 Nm of torque and the kind of midrange pull that makes every acceleration zone feel intense. The diesel engine delivers a huge wave of torque, allowing the car to surge out of corners and build speed quickly despite its understated appearance. On track, the combination of strong low end response, stable chassis behavior, and confident acceleration turns this A4 into a genuine sleeper. The Nürburgring setting also highlights how usable that torque feels under real pressure, especially through faster sections where momentum and throttle response matter. With 750 Nm available, the Audi A4 3.0 TDI blends everyday practicality with a much more aggressive performance character, creating a diesel powered track experience that feels far more exciting than its subtle exterior suggests.

Two Porsche 911 GT3 RS share a public road together

Two Porsche 911 GT3 RS models, one finished in white with Vipdent branding and the other in a striking green and black livery, travel together along a tree-lined public road. Both cars feature the GT3 RS's signature large rear wing, aggressive front splitter, and motorsport-inspired aerodynamic details, despite being driven on an everyday stretch of tarmac rather than a closed circuit. The green car's bold two-tone paint and visible roll cage suggest it may be set up for more dedicated track use, while the white car retains a slightly more understated appearance with its sponsor decals. Guardrails and a wooded hillside line the road, indicating a scenic route rather than a dedicated event venue. Seeing two examples of this rare, track-focused variant traveling together is uncommon, as the GT3 RS is typically reserved for circuit driving rather than daily public road use. The pairing offers a rare side-by-side look at how owners style and personalize the same high-performance platform in different ways.
