  • Ryan Tuerk drives his Ferrari-powered Toyota 86 on the street

    Ryan Tuerk is creating a new definition for "daily driven race car." Of course, we're talking about his insane Ferrari-powered Toyota 86, which he took out on public roads to prove it is, in fact, a street car. Dubbed the Toyota GT4586, the car features a donor engine from a Ferrari 458 Italia. Gone is the 86's 2.0-liter flat-4 boxer engine and in its place sits a naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V-8 instead. Total power output is triple that of a stock Toyota 86 at 570 horsepower. To prove its livability, Tuerk takes the GT4586 out for a few daily activities in the video above, including...

  • Jesse reunited with Volkswagen Jetta from "The Fast and the Furious"

    For youngsters who have only known the "Fast and Furious" franchise to be about explosions and high-flying stunts, there was a simpler time. It was a time when the craziest stunt a character pulled was leaping off of a semi truck onto a Toyota Supra, the film was released on VHS, and a star car was none other than a Volkswagen Jetta. We miss those days. New fans of the series may not recognize this guy, but it's Chad Lindberg, the actor who played Jesse in the original "The Fast and the Furious" from 2001. And this is a replica of his car: a 1995 Volkswagen Jetta. Dominic Dubreuil, marketing...
