Velocity Modern Classics, an industry leader in classic vehicle modernization, has just announced its new line of classic Chevy K5 Blazers. Built to the same high standards as Velocity’s classic Bronco and F-series truck lines, the new 1969-72 Velocity K5 Blazers have been reimagined and rebuilt from the ground up as turnkey drivers. They feature beautifully-restored bodies paired with V8 engines and modern drivetrains. The K5s also come equipped with handcrafted custom interiors and plenty of modern creature comforts.

According to Nissan, the idea for the R32 EV came from an engineer who joined the company out of admiration for the original model. He reportedly said, “I want to build a more exciting car by adding the latest electrification technology that I am involved with to my favorite car.” This electric show car could feature Nissan's dual-motor setup, which powers the Ariya and could be a fitting choice for the GT-R.

Super cars have captured speed enthusiasts since they were first introduced. These mountains of metal and horsepower are works of art in their own rights. I mean, when was the last time you saw an ugly super car? These speed machines capture our imagination with their beauty and raw power. They are meant for two things, to go fast and looks amazing. So when Ken Imhoff first saw the Lamborghini Countach in the movie Cannonball Run, he found himself falling in love with the legendary car.

The all-new, and exclusive high-performance roadster is the return of one of motorings most famous names. With a clean sheet design, the AC Cobra GT Roadster is a cutting-edge modern sports car, produced using the latest technology and engineering processes, yet it remains faithful to the spirit of the original AC Cobra from the 1960s.

Ringbrothers, the legends of custom car building and billet wizardry, have dropped their latest masterpiece: a 1969 Dodge Charger they’ve named CAPTIV. This beast is no ordinary Charger — it’s packing a street-able 707 horsepower straight from a Mopar Hellcat crate engine, paired with a Tremec six-speed manual that lets you wrestle all that power with precision. The car was built for none other than New Zealand’s motorsports icon and TV personality, Greg Murphy, who had a clear vision from the start.

The popularity of the classic Bronco has only increased as the years passed, as did its price. Most Broncos are now way too valuable to take to the dirt. Also, nicely built examples easily fetch well into the six figures. What was once a tough and rugged off-roader and ranch rig has now become one of the most collectable and desirable four-wheel drive vehicles ever produced.

The end result was that additional speed was gained by removing weight from the car. Other ways that were explored with regards to the increasing speed of a vehicle, were re-grinding camshafts for more lift and separation, fiddling with old Rochester single barrel carbs, filing ports and welding longer exhaust manifolds.
