Mitchell Button of Button Built took a 1996 Ferrari F355 and refused to leave any part of it alone. The result appeared at the 2019 SEMA Show and has spent the years since turning up at shops, retail spaces, and museums. Now the car crosses the block at Barrett-Jackson’s Las Vegas auction in mid-September with no reserve.

New Zealand roads now include one vehicle that started life as a normal 2011 Cayenne S and ended up with an open cargo area where the rear seats used to sit. An owner there bought the diesel-powered SUV for roughly 30,000 US dollars, then spent more than 80,000 New Zealand dollars on a full conversion plus all the engineering checks required to keep it street legal. The finished truck sits at Christchurch European with an asking price of 49,995 New Zealand dollars and a clear message on the listing that nothing like it will appear again.

Ferrari introduced its first electric grand tourer a short time ago and the discussion that followed quickly turned to how little the Luce matched the visual expectations many people hold for the brand. The car carries strong performance figures and a long range, yet its restrained lines left a noticeable gap between what arrived and what some hoped to see.
Mitsuoka had a simple idea in 2023, but it grew into something much more exciting. The little Japanese company chose to celebrate its 55th birthday with a one-off prototype based on the Honda Civic hatchback, which turned out to be a fantastic idea. Public interest ran so high that more than 1,300 people reached out right away. Now the company has moved the project into limited production, and the newest version carries the RS badge.
Zach Sutton, a 29-year-old manufacturing engineer living in Detroit’s Woodbridge neighborhood, paid $1,500 each for a pair of early 1990s Chrysler minivans. There was a 1993 Dodge Caravan made in the United States, while a 1991 Plymouth Grand Voyager was built in Canada. Both of these vans had the characteristic boxy form, had nearly identical mechanical components, and boldly displayed the Pentastar symbol on the hood. Sutton took them to i3Detroit in Ferndale, a nearby community workshop, and spent one hectic weekend with a group of his pals in February 2025 transforming them into something altogether new.
