𩵠Sydney Sweeney Wants You to Drive Out of Her Auto Shop in a Custom Mustang TLDR: “I feel like I am the most me when I’m at the shop,” Sweeney, the actress who portrays the sweetly vulnerable Cassie Howard on Euphoria, told Hypebeast in an exclusive interview. â Why It Matters: She’s a bonafide car girl, and anyone with a TikTok account knows it. Her page, @Syds_Garage, which presently boasts more than 1.7 million followers, is proof that she practices what she preaches: take a few scrolls, and among many other things, she’ll teach you how to install a fuel pump and add power steering to a Ford Mustang. Her own Mustang is bright blue and named Britney, if you were wondering. So we recently sat down with the rising star to chat all things automotive, her longstanding partnership with eBay Motors, the custom Mustang that she's actually giving away and much more.â â Read the full article [here](. ---------------------------------------------------------------
ð Toyota Unveils Two WRC Driver-Inspired Special Edition GR Yaris Models TLDR: Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) has launched two limited edition versions of the evolved GR Yaris at the Rallye Monte Carlo, which marks the first round of the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC).â Why It Matters: The two models, namely the GR Yaris RZ “High performanceã»Sébastien Ogier Edition” and “Kalle Rovanperä Edition”, are designed to pay tribute to their respective driver’s abilities. Set to release in the spring, these cars are as exclusive as they are performance-oriented. The special editions are supervised by TGR-WRT members Ogier and Rovanperä. As for curb appeal, the Ogier Edition is painted in a new matte color, “Matte Stealth Gray” and features a CFRP lightweight rally spoiler. The Rovanperä Edition boasts a flashier livery, expressed through a three-tone paint job reflecting the motifs of Rovanperä’s rallying helmet and comes with a variable wing. Both models sport WRC victory decals and steering wheel stitching that matches the national flags of France and Finland, representing Ogier and Rovanperä respectively.

ð«´ Porsche Introduces 2024 All-Electric Macan TLDR: Porsche has introduced the brand new Macan crossover SUV and straight to the point: it's now all-electric.â â â Why It Matters: Besides the new powertrain however, the Macan receives a striking new look, one that adopts design language elements from its sportier brothers. The front bumper for example gets large, pronounced intake scoops and a deep chin spoiler a la the GT and GTS models. For the Macan Turbo, the rear bumper line also gets posterior cutouts like the GT3. Overall however, we like the new look.â Power-wise, as expected, the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) 800-volt architecture figures are huge – the Macan 4 alone produces 402 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, while the Macan Turbo is at 630 hp and a whopping 833 lb-ft of torque at maximum. 0-60 is 4.9 seconds and 3.1 respectively.â â Read the full article [here](. ---------------------------------------------------------------
ð¬ Jeremy Clarkson Comments That He Was 'Unfit, Fat, and Old' to Continue 'The Grand Tour' TLDR: Jeremy Clarkson shares his sentiments about the end of 'The Grand Tour,' one that is based on being 'unfit and fat and old.'â â Why It Matters: In a recent interview with The Times of London and sourced via Deadline, Clarkson revealed some details about the end of 'The Grand Tour,' which he co-hosts with long-time fellow presenters Richard Hammond and James May. “I’ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else. We’ve done everything you can do with a car. When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air.”â The 63-year-old car journalism veteran continues to reveal how "immensely physical" the expeditions were for him, who he described as "unfit and fat and old." He even compares 'The Grand Tour' with survival TV show 'Man vs. Wild.' "If you’re Bear Grylls you go to a hotel — there aren’t any hotels in the Sahara desert." 'The Grand Tour' has confirmed its conclusion, with two films – already shot – releasing later this year.â â â â Check it out [here](. ---------------------------------------------------------------
ð ï¸ Cadillac Rolls Out the Updated CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing TLDR: Cadillac updates its CT5-V sports sedans for the 2025 model year, including the hardcore Blackwing.â â â Why It Matters: Like the previous editions, the new CT5-V sedan is Cadillac’s full size sports flagship, with a ton of power and performance to back it up. For the CT5-V, owners get a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 that’s good for 360 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. The power is routed through the brand’s 10-speed automatic gearbox – the only option for the CT5-V.â For the bigger, meaner CT5-V Blackwing however, things once again get really spicy. Like its predecessor, the engine is a colossal 6.2L supercharged V8 that outputs 668 hp. Obviously catering to enthusiasts, the Blackwing is optionable with a six-speed manual transmission; a rarity these days in cars in general, let alone something with a giant V8 and power north of 600 horsepower.â â Read the full article [here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Hypebeast]
