Honda is celebrating your family’s furry companion with the release of dog-themed accessories for its vehicle. As part of its Honda Dog line of goods, complimenting an array of other accessories like pet carriers, leashes, blankets and mats, these car accessories dress your Honda vehicle up so you can let the world know how much you love your pet. First up are the wheel center caps which feature a puppy paw design. These are offered in either a 54 mm size for vehicles like the Fit, N-Box, and N-Wgn or in a larger 62mm size for family vehicles like the Acord, Oddesey, and Freed. For the interior, Honda has made a whimsical gear knob with the same paw print design. This arrives in the choice colors of black, white, or Shiba (playfully referencing the two-tone colors found on the Shiba ...

Is the 991-generation Porsche 911 GT2 RS not “car” enough for you? Then look no further than the German marque’s latest super-limited offering: the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25. Based on the 991-2RS (much like the 935 that was released back in 2018), this car is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six twin-turbo engine producing around 700 HP, driving the rear wheels only. A seven-speed PDK gearbox is fitted as standard, and from this point onwards the 2RS similarities end. The Clubsport 25 features technology and aerodynamics adapted from Porsche cars new and from the future, while its overall design is actually inspired by the Manthey-Racing GmbH team’s 911 GT3 R, which sports a unique “Grello” livery that was given its name because of the green and yellow hues it ...

Pagani has unveiled the Huarya BC Pacchetto Tempesta — or simply put, a super-limited, more powerful, and somehow more stunning-looking iteration of the Huarya. The new Huarya BC Pacchetto Tempesta celebrates ten years of the Huarya’s existence, and is fitted with “state-of-the-art technical and artisan solutions” that have been designed to keep Pagani’s roster updated and consistently exciting. With the Pacchetto Tempesta package, the Huarya sports a beautiful full carbon fiber body in a dark green hue that’s contrasted with dark grey running down the middle of the car, starting from the carbon frunk to the glass-covered cockpit to the carbon fiber engine cover. As for the engine, Pagani has upgraded the twin-turbo V12 to produce 827 HP and 811 lb-ft. o...

Just six months after pushing Ferrari’s 812 GTS to a staggering, track-ready 840 horsepower, German automotive expert NOVITEC has once again returned to the stunning Prancing Horse, this time crafting an N-LARGO kit for the Spider. Significantly reducing the car’s weight, NOVITEC has given the Ferrari a full bodywork conversion that utilizes carbon fiber panels instead, adding fender flares that bring the total width of the vehicle up by 5.5 inches, creating an even more aggressive and sporty aesthetic. Specially-designed N-LARGO fascias sit both at the front and rear, while a new diffuser and integrated spoiler add to its aero performance. Other upgrades include a new sport exhaust system with 110mm tailpipes, bespoke wheels from Vossen, a front lift system, and a whole host o...

After unveiling the first bespoke Pininfarina Battista last month, the Italian automobile company has now revealed the first production-ready model that is set to be showcased at Monterey Car Week 2021. Made entirely from a signature weave of black carbon fiber bodywork, this Battista is off-set with polished black gloss “Impulso” rims and is decorated with “Iconica Blu” interior highlights. It’s the first to be officially debuted on the road, putting its all-electric powertrain that produces 1,900 HP, 1,696 lb-ft. of torque to good use. Per Svantesson, CEO of Automobili Pininfarina, said: “The premiere of the first production-specification Battista in the U.S. marks the beginning of another significant chapter in the Automobili Pininfarina story. We are...

The Biden administration, a number of leading automakers and the United Auto Workers union on Thursday announced a new national target to make 40 to 50 percent of vehicles sold electric by 2030. President Biden will sign an executive order, putting the motion in effect to “strengthen American leadership on clean cars and trucks by accelerating innovation and manufacturing in the auto sector, bolstering the auto sector domestic supply chain, and growing auto jobs with good pay and benefits,” according to the White House.

The McLaren Speedtail is the British marque’s most bespoke, advanced, and limited car in its current line-up, so even in standard form, this machine is incredibly rare. However, McLaren Beverly Hills has now commissioned a special “Albert” edition, which sees McLaren’s MSO division rework the car with a paint job that took 12 weeks to complete. “Albert” has its roots in McLaren’s history. First, it honors the 1992 McLaren F1 test mules that were named after the Albert Drive, Woking, location where the F1 was built, and secondly it nods to the original name of the Speedtail prototype. Furthermore, the special paint that’s been applied to the car also has history embedded into its design — the base “Magnesium Silver” color nod...

MANHART has a long-standing relationship with BMW‘s finest M machines, and now it has unveiled the MH5 800 based on the already impressive M5 sedan. Taking the stock M5, MANHART’s MH5 800 now comes with a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 815 HP and 1,050 Nm of torque, which is sure to take the five-seater’s 0-62 MPH time of 3.4 seconds down to supercar-killing times. All of the added power comes courtesy of a new MANHART turbo performance kit, a MANHART intercooler and a MANHART carbon intake, as well as ECU remapping and a full MANHART exhaust system. That exhaust system is rather special and is sure to create quite the noise, as new race-spec downpipes (without a catalytic converter), and “stainless steel OPF-delete replacement pipes, a stainless steel...

British marque Morgan Motors might have a history in all-terrain motorsports that dates back to 1911, but for those that know of the brand you probably think about its classicly-inspired 3-Wheeler, Plus Six, or Aero 8 before the idea of rallying comes to mind. Despite this, Morgan has built the Plus Four CX-T — a limited-run production comprising just 8 cars, each of which is capable of (seemingly) very un-Morgan-like all-terrain and overland adventure activities. Made in association with Dakar rally car maker Rally Raid UK, the CX-T offers Morgan customers something completely new, allowing them to go to places previously unreachable via other Morgan cars. The CX-T will — quite literally — go anywhere, all while carrying luggage and equipment thanks to the rear rack. Bas...

Earlier this year, Lexus ushered in a new chapter with the reveal of the Lexus LF-Z Electrified concept car — but the brand didn’t stop there. Equipped with momentum surrounding the importance of not just electrification, but also design, the Japanese luxury carmaker extends the conversation to unexpected corners of culture by inviting designer Salehe Bembury, artist and 3D designer Ondrej Zunka and the label Hender Scheme to create virtual interiors for the concept car. Continuing to champion creativity in all realms and pioneer the intersection of various medium with automotive design, HYPEBEAST and the brand facilitated a virtual conversation with Bembury, Zunka and Koichi Suga, the general manager of Lexus Design Division. Taking place in four different time zones, the discussion...

Toyota‘s tank of an SUV, the Land Cruiser is celebrating its 70th anniversary with a limited edition version. Based on the 70 Series that is still being sold in regions like the United Arab Emirates, Africa, Australia, and South America, the J70 is truly the embodiment of the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” proverb. Available in some classic colors like French Vanilla, Merlot Red, and Sandy Taupe, the 70th-anniversary model features a black grille with throwback badge work, blacked-out headlight housings, fender arches, and lower fascia. Other details like black 16-inch wheels, LED lighting, updated black interior, chrome accents, and retro branding complete the look. Powering the off-roader is a 4.5-liter turbodiesel V8 that puts down 203 horsepower and 317...

WALD International is back for another outlandish wide-body kit. After converting the Suzuki Jimny into a scary off-roader, WALD is shifting its attention to the new generation of Toyota SUPRAs. Named the Sports Line Wide Version, this new kit blends WALD’s signature wide and aggressive styling cues with other details borrowed from Formula 1. This kit takes the width of the body out an additional 45mm and includes stacked exhaust tips, a front spoiler, a wide hood, side steps, a massive trunk spoiler with a 3D rear wing, front fenders, and a front bumper that focuses all lines to a single snout with a central air intake. This entire kit gives the fifth-generation SUPRA what WALD calls a “wide-and-low form.” While there’s no denying that this mod gives the SUPRA a ne...
