The year didn’t end well for the owner of a Ferrari F12tdf in Japan who crashed the supercar on December 31. The picture of the vehicle being transported with duct tape all over its deformed front end posted on Twitter by user @hodo_momo is indeed a sad sight. As noted by the Twitter user @boeing767300PW who photographed the crashed Ferrari on the scene, the incident occurred at the Shibaura junction in the direction of the Rainbow Bridge. It appears that the driver of the Ferrari is to blame since no other cars were involved. Our guess is that the driver lost control after the car slipped and ended up hitting the concrete barrier. Judging from the aftermath, there shouldn’t have been any serious injuries.

An exceptionally rare 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STI 22B is being auctioned off in Australia and has a rather interesting history. Subaru built just 425 examples of the WRX STI 22B and this one is number 132. However, it is not being sold by a private collector like one may expect but by Liquid Asset Management on behalf of the Federal Government after it was seized under ‘proceeds of crime’ laws. It’s unclear what kind of crimes the previous owner was involved in but it was confiscated in mid-2017 alongside a fleet of exotics, Motor reports.

The YouTuber who destroyed a brand new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX Ignition Edition and was fined for damaging a property in rural Pennsylvania is back at it and has purchased a new TRX. He is also performing some crazy stunts with it. Just a couple of weeks ago, Street Speed 717 picked up the keys to aν Aventador SVJ, the ultimate version of Lamborghini’s iconic V12-powered supercar, and for whatever reason, thought it would be a good idea to jump over it in his TRX . It’s all about the views, I suppose.

In addition to avoiding the Aventador, it’s interesting to note just how smoothly the TRX lands, serving as a testament to its suspension and encouraging the YouTuber to make the jump multiple times knowing that the Ram is more than up for the task. In early 2021, the YouTuber (r...

The new Ford Bronco has proven to be one of the hottest vehicles of the year, thanks in part to its handsome retro design. Seeing as that design draws so heavily from previous Broncos, why not lean into the retro theme with a vintage paint job? That’s exactly what one Bronco owner did, and their creation just sold for an obscene amount of money. Listed on eBay , the two-door 2021 Bronco First Edition sold for $87,490, or $31,075 more than the already somewhat steep $56,915 base price. The SUV’s main highlight is its retro paint job, which features the First Edition exclusive color of Lightning Blue with white vinyl striping overtop.

For those who haven’t been keeping up with their more recent projects, the folks over at Hoonigan have been working on something extra wild: a Hellcat-powered Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow that they plan to use as a driftable party car. With that being said, they must have felt that the 707 ponies produced by the stock engine weren’t enough, as their latest video sees them trying to increase that number to 1,000. To accomplish that, the main thing they did was replacing the Hellcat motor’s stock supercharger with an upgraded unit from Magnuson. And while they never officially dyno test it in the video, the page for the supercharger on Magnuson’s website claims an output of over 1,000 hp (1,014 PS / 746 kW) with the stock fuel system and as much as 1,400 hp (1,419 PS / 1,044 kW) with the proper supporting modifications, so Hoonigan ‘s goal seems realistic. The team also installed a custom Borla exhaust from the headers back for some added power and sound. See Also:  A Posh Mad Max...

The Nissan R35 GT-R is approaching the end of its lifecycle but that hasn’t stopped Kuhl Racing from developing one final bodykit for the iconic Japanese supercar. Kuhl Racing has been building bodykits for the GT-R for many years and it refers to this particular kit as the ‘Final Edition.’ It radically transforms the look of the Nissan, making it much more striking and ensuring its turns heaps of heads. Things start at the front end where Kuhl has crafted an entirely bespoke bumper with an enlarged grille and a pronounced splitter. It probably won’t be very friendly to speedbumps but it does help to add some extra panache to the GT-R’s front fascia. Elsewhere, Kuhl is also crafting flared front fenders.

New Year’s Eve might not be quite as exciting this year as it has been historically (I know I have big plans that involve going to bed at 10:30, as God intended), but at least we can all agree that the new year does bring new opportunities to import old cars. As a new crop of vehicles prepares to turn 25 in 2022 and comes one step closer to legally gracing America’s shores, Donut Media has prepared a list of 10 exciting cars that were introduced in 1997 that enthusiasts can get excited for. The list includes : EK9 Honda Civic Type R Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R Mitsubishi Pajero Evo Ford Falcon XH XR8 Ute Volkswagen Mk4 Golf VR5 LT1 TX1 London Black Cab Toyota Century V12 Nissan Elgrand R33 Nissan Skyline Nismo 400R Honda NSX Type S Read Also:  The Toyota Century Is A V12-Powered Luxury Sedan That Was Aimed Strictly At Japan’s Elite Although some of the cars were previously available for import, all of them have at least one special edition model that is genuinely wo...

Spyker is reportedly coming back from the dead as a purported press release is claiming an investor group led by Michail Pessis and Boris Rotenberg will revive the beleaguered automaker. While the release is mysteriously absent from Spyker’s website, it claims a deal was struck on December 20th and will result in the founding of the Spyker Group. Furthermore, it says the company intends to begin production of the B6 Venator , C8 Preliator, and D8 Peking-to-Paris next year. Victor Muller will reportedly be in charge of the new company and the release says the “investor group already has developed and produced a number of riveted Spykers in so-called BR configuration [presumably named for Rotenberg’s BR Engineering] in their own facilities.” Also Read:  Spyker Reportedly Goes Bust After Partnership Never Materializes Made in Russia, Engineered In Germany and Russia, assembled in Holland That’s a little vague, but the release goes onto say future Spyker bodies will be made in ...

The Panoz Esperante GTLM Coupe is one of the rarest sports cars ever manufactured in the United States and in late December, one example sold for $82,500 during an online auction. This particular Esperante GTLM Coupe was one of just five examples produced and used to meet homologation requirements so Panoz could go ALMS racing. The Bring a Trailer listing notes that this Esperante had been owned by the same owner since new and was sold with service records, owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Oregon title.
