What does it take to restore a Le Mans-winning GT40? New Hampshire’s Rare Drive has the answer. The Gt40 had a major victory at Le Mans back in 1966 and since then, it’s been shelved (as race cars tend to be) but now, it’s coming full circle: good as new. Rare Drive has revived an icon. See the restoration process and the final product, right here:

If you’ve forgotten about the baby blue 2015 Ford Mustang GT tuned by Petty’s Garage from the 2014 SEMA, you’re not getting off so easy. The pony car had a (very) limited run– 143 to be exact. Ford Motor Company teamed up with Petty’s Garage to build the limited edition run of the popular model. They produced two types that were made available:
Stage One:
– 100 of the 143 cars
– powered by a supercharged 2015 Mustang GT 5.0-liter V-8
– 627 horsepower
– custom front end
– rear center-exit exhaust
– race-inspired spoiler
Stage Two:
– Petty’s Garage Wilwood big brake upgrade
– Petty’s Garage custom two-tone paint job
– Three-piece forged-aluminum wheels from HRE
– NASCAR number 43 ghosted into the hood and C-pillar paint
Even AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson has joined the club. We can’t blame him!

Well, you don’t see this everyday… For all intensive purposes, the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is, excessive. We’re talking about the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 717 horsepower and 656 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Tuners like Hennessey have even turned up the output to over 1,000 horsepower. But this… this might just be too far. In one of the most outrageous Challenger Hellcat builds we’ve seen, this custom ride sits on 34-inch wheels by Underground Rim King that throws off the car’s proportions and performance. And no, we’re not sure why anyone thought this was a good idea. Anyway, check it out here and let us know your thoughts. We’d tell you to enjoy but you probably won’t.
