First shown off as a concept at the Geneva Auto Show, Italian design house Pininfarina plans on producing 10 of its eco-conscious race car. It’s powered by a GreenGT hydrogen fuel cell that drives two rear-wheel motors to produce ~500hp. The price tag? Around $2.5 million each.

Regular Car Reviews takes us on a ride inside the cockpit of a replica of the Knight Industries Two Thousand, the car driven in the ’80s classic Knight Rider. Pretty much everything about the modded 1982 Pontiac Trans Am is impractical, but we still love it. Full review here.

Jay Leno’s Garage shares one of the most unique vehicles you’ll ever see. This gaspunk beauty is a 1939 Plymouth fitted with a 300hp Cessna engine. It took Gary Corns, his friends and his two sons about 1.5 years to build the racer. It even has a similarly-themed tow truck.

It’s every rally driver’s worst nightmare – an animal runs into the middle of the course. Most of the time it results in a nasty collision or the car running off the road to avoid it. Not so for this scrappy pup, and equally lucky rally drivers, who must have someone looking out for them.

Today I Found Out points out why there are only a handful of foreign light trucks available in the US. It all has to do with the chicken tax, a 25% import tax on trucks that the US imposed in 1963 in retaliation for European countries placing a similarly high tariff on US chicken.

Tesla continues to outdo itself with its Model S. The new top-of-the-line variant does 0-to-60 in 2.5 seconds in Ludicrous mode, as fast as the most expensive hypercars, and amazing for a 5-seat family sedan. Battery range is now up to 315 mi, and P90D buyers can upgrade their cars.

We recently drove from San Diego to Hollywood with Toyota in their fun and vibrant Scion iM hatchback. Along the way we flew jetpacks, went kayaking, boating, hiking, enjoyed amazing food and drink, and were reminded just how awesome road trips can be.

911 customizer Singer shows off one of its latest finished jobs. Based on a 964, the Luxemburg – named after the customer’s home town – has a 4L flat-six engine that produces up to 390hp, a removable carbon fiber hard top and a beautiful orange paint job and leather interior.

ICON founder Jonathan Ward showcases one of his company’s most oddball builds yet. It’s a Chevrolet Caprice that used to be cop car. The owner wanted it to be “under the radar but intimidating” and is filled with gadgets and travel gear.

We recently had the opportunity to test out the 2017 Jaguar F-PACE R-Sport SUV over on 95octane, and while we had it on hand, we couldn’t resist the urge to park it alongside its muse. While the F-TYPE would win in a race, the F-PACE is a truly sweet daily driver.

A wonderfully minimal commercial spot for the Audi’s R8 supercar, which focuses not on the car so much as the experiences of its driver, as told by the reflections in his eyeball. Directed by ManvsMachine, with CG eye effects by Analog.
