Lewis Hamilton finally drives his dream Ferrari F40 after it remained untouched since 1991

The delivery-mileage time capsule spent 35 years hidden in a private garage before Ferrari brought it back to life in Maranello. “There are cars that you admire, and then there are cars that make you feel something.” For Lewis Hamilton, that car has always been the Ferrari F40.

This $800,000 car was built completely by hand - and only 20 will ever exist

Richard takes a look at some of the wildest custom vehicles he has come across, beginning with an unusual truck that started as a joke and turned into a serious 10-week build. The crew gets the chance to drive it before helping secure a prime Saturday-night auction spot where million-dollar cars regularly cross the block. Later, Richard visits a small manufacturer creating extremely limited hand-built cars, with only around 20 planned and a price of roughly $800,000 each. Nearly every major piece is custom made, and each car requires thousands of hours of work before it is finished. The episode also includes several other strange finds and builds, showing just how far people are willing to go to create vehicles unlike anything else on the road.

Cars everyone thought would last forever—until owners started reporting the same expensive problems

The $86,000 Corvette Grand Sport is fast - another $25,000 turns it into a 721-HP rocket

The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport X combines Chevrolet's new 6.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 with a front electric motor that adds 186 horsepower, bringing total output to 721 horsepower. During the first drive, the car recorded a 0-60 MPH run of 2.84 seconds on unprepared pavement, while Chevrolet claims it can achieve 2.7 seconds under the right conditions. The standard Grand Sport starts around $86,000, while adding the electrified X configuration costs roughly another $25,000. Unlike the more hardcore Z06, the Grand Sport can remain quiet and comfortable in Tour mode before becoming dramatically more aggressive in Sport and Track modes. That combination of everyday refinement and sub-three-second acceleration makes the Grand Sport X one of the most complete Corvettes in the C8 lineup.

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.

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?

Can a cheap €12K E55 AMG become a dream wagon?

The Mercedes Benz E55 AMG Touring becomes a new project after the supercharged V8 estate is purchased from Copart for €11,100, rising to roughly €12,000 after fees. The initial inspection reveals a damaged front fender and driver door, tailgate rust, worn headlights and other cosmetic problems, while a closer underbody check uncovers aftermarket coilovers and a possible oil leak around the rear main seal or valve cover area. Despite those issues, the brakes appear healthy and the underside shows relatively little rust. An AMG specialist discusses common problems, engine reliability and possible upgrades before a detailed repair plan is created. Work then begins by removing the damaged door and fender, transferring the necessary components into replacement panels and reinstalling everything, although mismatched paint shows that further cosmetic work will be required.

Can the Mercedes C220 BlueTEC still feel quick at highway speeds?

The Mercedes C220 CDI BlueTec W205 is shown during an onboard Autobahn acceleration run, with the focus on kickdown response, diesel engine sound, and real-world highway performance.

Attention stays on throttle response, smooth power delivery, and the character of the BlueTec diesel engine under load. Rather than a full review, the video provides a direct look at the W205 C-Class in motion, highlighting everyday performance, highway cruising, and the driving feel of a Mercedes diesel sedan.

Peugeot 408 facelift: Is the hybrid 145 the right choice?

The Peugeot 408 facelift keeps the dramatic fastback crossover styling that made the car stand out while adding slimmer lighting, redesigned front details, illuminated badges and new wheel designs. The Hybrid 145 combines a 1.2 liter turbocharged three cylinder engine with a 48 volt electric system for 145 horsepower, but performance remains relaxed with 0 to 62 mph taking 10.2 seconds. Around town it can move briefly on electric power, although transitions back to the petrol engine and the six speed dual clutch gearbox are not always smooth. Fuel economy around 40 MPG also trails some stronger full hybrid rivals. Where the 408 performs better is practicality, offering generous rear legroom and a 536 liter boot despite its sloping body. With prices starting near £32,000, the lower trims make more sense than the expensive GT Premium.

This Toyota SUV comparison comes down to space and efficiency

The Toyota Corolla Cross and Toyota RAV4 offer two different hybrid SUV choices for buyers who want practicality and efficiency. The Corolla Cross is smaller at 4.46 meters long and feels more like a raised hatchback, with a bold black grille, thick lower cladding, and a car like rear design. Its biggest strength is the newer fifth generation hybrid system, especially in the 2.0 liter version with 197 hp, giving smooth daily performance and excellent fuel use of around 5.4 liters per 100 km. It also has a modern digital driver display, responsive infotainment, and a mature comfortable suspension, though rear legroom is only average and there is no physical volume knob. The RAV4 is larger at 4.60 meters, more upright, more SUV like, and much roomier in the rear. It also wins on boot space with 580 liters versus 433 liters in the Corolla Cross. However, its older infotainment and rougher interior details show its age. The Corolla Cross feels newer and efficient, while the RAV4 feels bigger and more practical.

Is the Lamborghini Sterrato really built for rallying?

The Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato faces a real rally car in a challenge designed to test how capable the off road supercar really is away from smooth pavement. Raised suspension, all wheel drive, additional protection, and its naturally aspirated V10 give the Sterrato an unusual combination of supercar performance and loose surface capability. A purpose built rally car approaches the same terrain with very different priorities, making the comparison far more revealing than a conventional road test. Gravel, traction, handling, and outright speed expose where Lamborghini’s rugged Huracán can compete and where dedicated rally engineering has the advantage. The head to head challenge reveals how close the Lamborghini Sterrato can get to a machine designed specifically for rally driving.
