Richard Hammond reunited with his 530 HP Subaru
This DRIVETRIBE video follows the return of Richard Hammond’s Subaru Impreza WRX STI V-Limited after a major restoration and performance rebuild. The car has its original blue look restored after the old livery was removed, with body repairs, refreshed wheels, repaired rust, and a V-Limited front splitter. Under the hood, the Subaru receives a full engine rebuild with a 2.1L stroker setup, forged parts, a larger turbo, upgraded cooling, new exhaust, coilovers, and brakes. The result is a dramatic jump from 280 HP to 530 HP before the car is finally handed back to Hammond.

I found a 58-year-old car with only 1,000 miles on it - and bought it
Richard receives an incredible 1968 classic car that Dennis found near Dayton, Ohio, with only around 1,000 original miles and an almost completely untouched appearance. The story is that a young woman got the car around the time she received her driver’s license, but discovered that taking the city bus was cheaper than paying for gas, so the car ended up spending most of its life parked in a garage. It still has all five original tires, an amazingly preserved interior, original markings, dealer-installed air conditioning with its paperwork, and only minor paint touch-ups from decades of storage. The crew believes it may be the lowest-mileage 1968 example they could find records for and debates whether something this original belongs in a museum rather than being modified. After inspecting it closely, Richard decides to keep the remarkable time capsule.

Automobile retail sales in India grew 17.51 per cent to a record 24,23,201 units in August, riding on continued momentum of GST 2.0 despite a seasonal monsoon lull and the delayed onset of the festive calendar, FADA said on Monday.

McLaren 765LT rolls through a packed supercar event
A matte black McLaren 765LT Spider, finished with striking orange trim accents, rolls slowly through a packed supercar event on an unpaved access road. Spectators and event staff can be seen gathered nearby, with support vehicles and other cars parked along the roadside, reinforcing the scale and organization of the gathering. The car's dihedral doors, aggressive front splitter, and open-top configuration highlight its status as one of McLaren's most track-focused road-legal models. Two occupants are visible inside, with the passenger wearing a numbered event lanyard, suggesting active participation rather than a casual drive-by. The dusty, gravel-covered path contrasts sharply with the precision engineering of the car itself, hinting at the varied terrain often found at large outdoor motoring events. The scene captures a rare hypercar navigating the more mundane logistics of a major supercar gathering, moving carefully through the crowd before reaching the main event area.

Dodge just built its most powerful Super Bee ever - 600 HP and 30 PSI of boost
A modified 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six produces 600 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque using twin 56mm Garrett turbochargers and roughly 30 PSI of boost. Power goes through an 8-speed transmission and standard all-wheel drive, while a dedicated steering-wheel button can instantly switch the car into rear-wheel-drive mode. Dodge claims 0-60 MPH in 3.6 seconds and a roughly 11.8-second quarter mile, backed by massive 305-width Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, 20x11-inch wheels and 16-inch brake rotors with SRT-branded Brembo calipers. The upgrades also include stiffer suspension and bushings, adaptive damping, 10% stronger half shafts, line lock and torque reserve for building boost before launch. Pricing and availability haven't been announced, but a regular 550-HP Scat Pack costs around $55,000, meaning this limited-production version will cost more - and despite all the extra performance, the one thing enthusiasts still aren't getting is a V8.
