The 2020 Toyota Supra is an intriguing new sports car that looks cool from some angles, and not so cool from others. Toyota gave the machine a 335 horsepower six with 365 lb-ft of torque for the US market, and initially said that the less expensive and powerful four-cylinder versions were initially destined for Japan only.

With the new Toyota Supra hitting dealerships soon, it’s easy to lose sight of the Japanese automaker’s other rear-wheel drive sports coupe. While the 86 might not have the horsepower or torque grunt of the Supra, its price is also within reach of far more buyers than the Supra will likely be.

Let’s face it. The folks over at Hennessey Performance are insane. They build cars with way more power than they really need or can use much of the time.

Hennessey ports the factory blower, adds a billet high-flow throttle body, special upper and lower pullies, a high-flow induction system, custom cam, and ported cylinder heads.

The car you see here is one of a complete series commissioned by Aston Martin Cambridge and done up by their customization arm, Q by Aston Martin. There are 24 examples of the car, called the DBS 59, with one for each hour of the 1959 24 hours of Le Mans that Aston drivers took first and second place in. The cars are all finished in rich emerald green on the outside, and have lots of bronze touches inside and out.

Kia has pulled the wraps off a sweet limited-edition car at the 2019 New York Auto show, and the want is strong. Only 800 units will be made of the orange Stinger GTS, and you can opt for D-AWD or RWD versions. That AWD version has a slick drift mode that sends all the power to the rear wheels and holds gears with no shifting.

Nissan has announced the 2020 GT-R NISMO as part of its celebration of 50-years of GT-Rs. Compared to other GT-R models, the NISMO uses carbon fiber on the front and rear bumpers, front fenders, hood, roof, side sill covers, trunk, and rear spoiler.

Of all the classic Mustangs, the most coveted tend to be the 1967-1970 fastback models. Of those, even more desirable are the Shelby version. Recently, a classic 1968 Shelby GT500 was found in a barn, after sitting there for years. The car is an original GT500 in raven black and is one of only 1,020 built that year.

The current generation Mustang isn’t exactly a lightweight, unless you compare it to the porky muscle cars like the Charger and Challenger. Now, a rumor is going around that will make Mustang fans ill. The rumor, reported by Automobile Magazine, claims that the next generation Mustang will roll on the flexible CD6 architecture to be shared with the Explorer, Aviator, and next-gen Edge SUV.
