You’d think that, by now, the idea that sim racers might be pretty handy with real cars would have sunk in. It’s been over a decade since Lucas Ordonez won GT Academy, and he’s had a class podium at Le Mans among other career highlights.

When you think of great manufacturers of rally cars, Porsche might not be the first name to spring to mind. Even if you’re a Porsche enthusiast, it’ll be more familiar as a brand with a second-to-none race track heritage.

The seemingly endless wait for the new Toyota Supra is over. When Akio Toyoda drove the finished car onto the stage in Detroit, it marked the climax of five years and one day of teasing. Finally, the car was here.

With the growth of my channel over the last couple of years, I’ve had this little dream that one day, it would enable me to sample a real race car. That little dream became a reality last week after I was invited to give the McLaren 570S GT4 a try!

Getting your hands on the first of something is a unique experience. However, it’s also typically a costly one. The new Toyota Supra is no exception to this either with the first production one selling at auction for a staggering $2.1 million.

Winter is in full swing in the northern hemisphere. This is something residents in the path of winter storm Harper are acutely aware of right now. Spanning from the Midwest through the Northeast, it’s dumping snow, sleet, and rain across half the country.

When it comes to factory personalization, not much comes close to Rolls-Royce. The Goodwood-based car manufacturer doesn’t believe in tick-box options lists. Instead it creates its cars specifically for its customers on a case-by-case basis, and with almost no limit on possibilities.

We’re pretty big fans of the current Veloster here at GTPlanet. We’ve driven it in warm Turbo and genuinely hot N form and liked ’em both. But Hyundai’s gone and created another model that makes both look super tame.

Are you a fan of The Fast and the Furious franchise? Considering two cars from the series ended up in the top three of our World Cup of Movie Cars, we imagine several of you are.

Ford has kicked off proceedings at this year’s Detroit Auto Show with the +700hp Shelby GT500.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is an opportunity for manufacturers across the electronics spectrum to show off new tech. From smart fridges to bendable mobile phones, to 8K video games, it’s a showcase of what any decent man-cave will have in five years.

Although we’ve pretty much seen Toyota’s new Supra now, it’s scheduled to debut, at long last, in Detroit on January 14. However, before the main event, there’s one more piece of business for the Supra to check off: its Super GT racing car.

The TVR Speed 12 was a beast of almost mythic proportions, and now a British company is building more examples of it.

The Supra isn’t the only Toyota product bound to make waves in Detroit. The company is also bringing the Lexus LC Convertible Concept to the show as well.

Perhaps the most anticipated car of 2019, the Toyota Supra is almost with us. Toyota is due to unveil the car in full at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 14.
