Imported from Japan years ago as a passenger hauler, this 1994 Toyota HiAce Grand Cabin received a second life as a self sufficient traveler thanks to clever conversion work. Power comes from a 2.8 liter naturally aspirated four cylinder diesel engine rated around 83 horsepower. An automatic transmission sends drive to all four wheels through a part time system that includes a sub transmission for low range gearing when the going gets rough.

South Korean digital artist Jeong Hun Lee works under the name 2jh_design and creates detailed computer images of cars that push familiar brands in new directions. His latest proposal carries the name Singularity. It takes Audi’s recent design language and stretches it into a full-size sedan that treats the rear compartment as private territory for a single person.
Silverstone Metallic paint wraps the body of this 2000 Honda S2000 in a finish that looks as fresh as the day it left the factory. Red leather seats fill the cabin. The odometer reads just 679 miles. Those numbers alone would make any enthusiast pause. Add the full story behind how this car survived and the appeal grows even stronger.
Hyundai just shared new technical details on its China-only electric fastback, and the numbers stand out right away. The Ioniq V carries two relatively small lithium iron phosphate battery packs yet posts some of the strongest official range claims in its segment. Deliveries start later this year in China, giving buyers there a fresh option built around efficiency rather than sheer battery size.
A stock Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X just proved hybrid power and precise launch control can turn a supercar contest into a complete mismatch. Lined up against a tuned Lamborghini Revuelto at Apex Motor Club in Arizona, the American car pulled away so decisively that the gap looked wide enough to park a bus in.
