IndyCar Standout Scott McLaughlin Joining the DXDT Corvette Lineup for Daytona

Scott McLaughlin and Mason Filippi Join DXDT's Corvette Z06 GT3R for Rolex 24

IndyCar's Scott McLaughlin will pilot DXDT Racing's Corvette Z06 GT3R at Daytona's 24-hour endurance classic, with full-time driver Mason Filippi holding the no. 36 seat. The Z06 GT3R brings a naturally-aspirated LS engine and proven platform to one of motorsport's most demanding events, though details on the car's configuration and driver rotation remain thin.

The Z06 GT3R is finally getting proper factory support at Daytona—took long enough for Chevy to understand what they built.

1974 Honda ATC 90 at No Reserve

1974 Honda ATC 90 Flipped Again—Orange Three-Wheeler Looking for Its Forever Home

This 89cc four-stroke three-wheeler sold on BaT in February, got refreshed, and is back on the block already. The ATC 90 is pure period Honda—honest, simple, and increasingly sought by builders who actually ride these things instead of shrine them. Orange with period-correct graphics, it's the kind of machine that teaches you what motorcycles used to be about before everything got electronically complex.

The ATC 90 market is real now. These aren't nostalgia plays anymore—they're genuinely fun to own, rebuild, and use, which means flipping one inside a year is a tell.

Terra Dune Buggy–Style Go-Kart

Terra Knife's 1970s Fiberglass Buggy: When Indiana Built Fun for $X

A Crawfordsville, Indiana builder named Terra Knife turned out this blue fiberglass go-kart in the '70s—steel frame, Tecumseh engine with centrifugal clutch, chain drive. It's the kind of DIY contraption that existed before liability lawyers killed the genre. Simple, purposeful, probably terrifying.

These hand-built go-karts are finally getting their due as the original maker culture—built before 'maker culture' was a branding term.

Getting to know my BMW 320d and driving on a track for the first time

First Track Day in a 320d: Why a Diesel 3-Series Matters More Than You Think

A long-time enthusiast finally got the keys to their F30-generation 320d—the car that proved turbodiesel four-cylinders could be genuinely engaging. Beyond the nostalgia of a Top Gear-era dream, this is about discovering what modern efficiency-focused BMWs can actually do when pushed. Track day reality check included.

The F30 320d is the thinking person's entry point to BMW ownership—costs half what an N55 model does, runs forever, and on track it teaches you that chassis tuning beats displacement every single time.

New Kia EV2 revealed as brand’s smallest EV yet

Kia's EV2 is the sensible choice nobody asked for

Kia dropped the E-GMP-based EV2 at Brussels—their sixth electric crossover and the smallest yet. It's positioned against the Renault 4 and peers, but in a segment where affordability matters more than driving dynamics, it's basically a spreadsheet made of steel and electrons.

Kia's EV strategy is quantity over conversation. The EV2 will sell fine because pricing and availability are doing the heavy lifting, not because anyone's losing sleep over owning one.

KTM RC 160 vs Yamaha R15: Price and specification comparison

RC 160 vs R15: KTM's Duke-in-RC's-clothing takes on Yamaha's entry-level darling

KTM's recycling its 160cc Duke engine into the RC 200's fairing—a smart move that undercuts the R15 on price while borrowing chassis DNA from its larger sibling. The rider triangle gets sharper, the bodywork gets sportier, and the entry fee to KTM's RC family drops accordingly. Indian market street bike buyers now have a legitimate alternative to Yamaha's long-standing playbook.

It's a parts-bin special dressed up as a new model, which is exactly what this segment needed—honest engineering without the marketing theater.

Sub-£25k Kia EV2 goes after Renault 4 with 278-mile range

Kia EV2 undercuts the segment at £25k—278-mile range puts pressure on Renault 4

Kia's playing the volume game with the EV2, a supermini-sized electric crossover that slots below the EV6 and actually delivers real range numbers instead of marketing fiction. At sub-£25k with 278 miles claimed, it's the first time a mass-market EV in this class isn't asking you to pretend range anxiety doesn't exist. Renault and VW are watching this one closely.

The EV2 is what happens when a bean counter actually listens to the market—affordable, practical, no unnecessary features. Prices will stabilize here for years.

1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe 6-Speed

1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 6-Speed: The M96 Era Nobody Asked For But Everyone's Buying

A black-on-Savanna 996 Carrera with the reviled M96 flat-six and a six-speed manual—the exact combination that spent two decades as a punchline before prices decided otherwise. 18" Turbos, sunroof, and all the '90s creature comforts intact. Values have quietly reversed on these; clean examples are moving.

The 996 M96 spent 15 years as the car your uncle warned you about. Now they're $25k asks on BaT and people are actually clicking.

8k-Mile 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible Conversion

8k-Mile 2001 Corvette Z06 Convertible Conversion: When Prefix Corporation Rewrote the Rules

A 2001 Z06 that Prefix Corporation converted to droptop spec in June 2001—back when nobody was doing this. Black LS6 over black leather with an aero package and rollhoops that actually look period-correct. You're looking at one of maybe three people who understood the assignment before the C6 made it fashionable.

Prefix conversions are the forgotten middle chapter of early 2000s Corvette culture. This one's still clean because it was never meant to be driven.

1975 Honda MT250 Elsinore at No Reserve

1975 Honda MT250 Elsinore: Two-Stroke Nostalgia at No Reserve

A 248cc two-stroke single that spent most of its life in storage until a 2011 refresh brought it back to life. The MT250 Elsinore was Honda's answer to keeping dirt bike relevance when the market was already shifting, and this silver example shows what happens when a bike sits—refurbished bikes rarely recapture the original feel, but the spec sheet suggests someone at least got the fundamentals right.

The MT250 Elsinore is the bike your dad raced in 1975 and forgot about. Finding one this clean means someone actually cared enough to restore it properly.

2003 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer Power Stroke at No Reserve

2003 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer with 6.0L Power Stroke—Two-Owner California Example

This is the Excursion that actually matters: a 6.0L Power Stroke diesel with a five-speed auto, limited-slip, and two-owner provenance since new. The 6.0 is famously fragile, but a clean, low-mile example from someone who didn't beat it to death is increasingly rare. Diesel truck values have held better than anyone expected.

The Excursion market has quietly bifurcated—abused fleet trucks dropping fast, but clean single-owner examples with service records are finally getting recognition as the full-size diesel hauler that actually runs.

1973 Suzuki TC-100: Two-Stroke Simplicity Before Bean Counters Killed It

This neglected 97cc two-stroke single spent decades in Ohio storage before finding new hands in 2025. Numbers matching, dual-range four-speed, and that metallic dark red finish that screams mid-70s Japanese pragmatism. The TC-100 is where Suzuki proved you didn't need displacement to make something worth owning.

The TC-100 is what happens when manufacturers actually built motorcycles for riders instead of quarterly projections.

1979 CJ-5 with 304 V8: When a Jeep Stops Being Disposable

This '79 CJ-5 got the full restoration treatment—rebuilt 304 V8 mated to a three-speed manual, Rough Country suspension, period-correct wheels. It's the kind of restomod that respects what made these things work in the first place, not some overstyled influencer build masquerading as authenticity.

CJ-5s with proper V8 swaps are finally trading at prices that reflect their actual capability instead of nostalgia markup alone.

2017 Land Rover Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic

2017 Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic: When Land Rover Still Made Statements

This white-over-brown SVAutobiography Dynamic is the kind of full-spec Range Rover that justified its bloated asking price—four-zone climate, rear entertainment, heated/ventilated everything. The SVAutobiography Dynamic chassis added actual steering revisions and suspension tweaks, not just badge engineering. A well-optioned example in this generation still commands respect, even if the market knows Range Rovers are depreciating faster than anyone predicted.

The L405 SVAutobiography Dynamic was Range Rover's last hurrah before corporate oversimplification took over—overstuffed with features nobody needed but everyone wanted.

10,000 km with my Harrier facelift: How the SUV continues to impress

10,000 km with a Tata Harrier facelift: Highway hauler holds up

A BHPian's real-world take on the refreshed Harrier after crossing 10k, mostly highway miles. The thing actually works for what it was designed to do—comfortable, spacious, and not trying to be something it isn't. Highway cruising reveals whether a mass-market SUV has been thought through or just assembled.

The Harrier doesn't pretend to be a Fortuner or a luxury play. It's honest about what it is, and that's exactly why it's getting its due in the long-distance owner community.

Volvo’s New EV Is Here To Give Mercedes GLC EQ Range Anxiety And Seat Envy

Volvo EX60 vs Mercedes GLC EQ: The Range and Charging Showdown Gets Weird

Volvo's new EX60 challenges the GLC EQ's comfort-over-substance formula with serious range figures and a charging setup that actually works. But the real story is buried in the back seat—some hidden feature that apparently changes the conversation. Worth digging into whether this is genuine innovation or just Swedish marketing theater.

Volvo's finally building EVs that matter instead of compliance cars, which means Mercedes should probably stop coasting on the three-pointed star.

I did the longest motorcycle road trip of my life on my Honda CB350 RS!

CB350 RS isn't a bike for conquering—it's for understanding what you actually need

The CB350 RS has quietly become the thinking person's retro, and this long-distance run proves why. Modern enough to be reliable, analog enough to demand your attention, and cheap enough that you're not financing someone else's lifestyle. Turns out the real adventure isn't the miles—it's realizing a 350cc parallel-twin that weighs nothing teaches you more about riding than any liter bike ever could.

The CB350 RS is doing what retros are supposed to do: make you question why anyone needs more. Values staying flat because it's not about the spec sheet.
