Can a 1000HP Toyota Supra survive Arctic snow drifting?

OG Schaefchen takes a 1000HP Toyota Supra MK4 to Lapland, Finland, for an extreme Arctic snow drifting adventure. The rear-wheel-drive Supra is fitted with spiked tires, a custom front bumper, added lighting, and a wild hood-exit screamer pipe setup, but deep snow and icy roads make the drive far harder than expected. The team deals with poor traction, a sticking throttle issue, weak cabin heat, heavy fuel use, and several moments where the car slides into deep snow and needs help getting out. Despite the problems, the Supra delivers loud antilag sounds, dramatic snow action, and a rare look at how difficult it is to control huge power in freezing conditions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1929 Ford Model A vs Tesla full self-driving - The 97-year-old car actually won

A Tesla Model Y using Full Self-Driving faces a 1929 Ford Model A in an unusual five-mile real-world race to an Albertsons store. The Tesla is driven with navigation handling the route, while the Model A simply heads toward the destination using conventional driving. Tesla's system initially responds quickly and follows the route, but near the finish it misses a turn and is forced to go around. That mistake gives the nearly century-old Ford enough time to arrive first. After the race, the 98-year-old participant delivers his verdict - he believes Henry Ford made the better car.

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.

How long can I drive this parachute car before the cops stop me?

A heavily modified General Lee with absurd power, no license plates, and enough noise to attract attention anywhere hits public roads for a very simple challenge: keep driving until law enforcement puts an end to it. The car is already outrageous on its own, but with huge horsepower and almost zero subtlety, every mile becomes a gamble over how long it can stay unnoticed. The result is part high-speed spectacle, part waiting game, as the driver pushes one of the most recognizable muscle cars ever built until someone in uniform finally decides they’ve seen enough.

Audi R8 leads a Porsche 911 past trackside spectators

A grey Audi R8, carrying two occupants, leads a black Porsche 911 through a corner as both cars pass a large crowd gathered along the trackside at TT Circuit Assen. Spectators line the grass verge several rows deep, watching closely as the R8's Quattro badging and aggressive front splitter come into view ahead of the following Porsche. Additional performance cars, including a white Volkswagen and another dark-colored vehicle, are visible parked further down the road, suggesting a larger gathering of enthusiast vehicles at the venue. Overcast skies with breaking sunlight create dramatic lighting across the scene, adding visual weight to the moment as both cars round the bend. The R8's mid-engine V10 layout and the 911's rear-engine flat-six represent two distinct approaches to sports car engineering, both drawing attention from the assembled crowd. Passing this many spectators highlights the appeal of events like this, where enthusiasts gather specifically to watch cars like these driven in a real trackside setting.

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.
