SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 6, 2026 – Operation Healing Forces says it has been named the beneficiary of the Johnson's Horsepowered Garage Collection, a no-reserve group of custom vehicles set to be sold during Mecum Kissimmee 2026 in Florida. The announcement ties classic-car craftsmanship to a clear purpose: proceeds from the collection are intended to directly support programs serving America’s Special Operations Forces community. For collectors, it’s a chance to bid on distinctive builds; for supporters, it’s a high-visibility way to turn a passion-driven event into meaningful help for service members, veterans, and families.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 19, 2025 – If you’ve been following Toyota’s “developing ever-better cars” era and waiting to see its newest flagships up close, January is about to get very tempting. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) says it will exhibit at Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba City, Japan, from January 9 to 11, bringing the GR GT and GR GT3 for their first general-public reveal after their December 5 world premiere.

A Public Debut for Two New Flagships

Toyota is positioning the GR GT and GR GT3 as the stars of its booth, and the timing is part of the excitement: these models are moving from “world premiere” energy to real-life, in-person viewing. For anyone who likes to judge a car by stance, proportions, and details you simply can’t feel through a screen, a show like Tokyo Auto Salon is where the obsession usually begins.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 19, 2025 – Toyota didn’t present its new sports models like a typical “bigger, faster, louder” launch. Instead, the world premiere on December 5 at the Woven City Inventor Garage in Susono, Shizuoka, leaned into something more human: the craft of making cars, the pressure of being judged, and the stubborn decision to keep improving even when it would be easier to play it safe.

A Japanese Ritual That Explains the Mindset

The story begins with Shikinen Sengu at Ise Jingu in Mie Prefecture, where a shrine is rebuilt every 20 years and sacred objects are moved from old to new. The shrine’s own explanation reads like a mission statement for any craft worth protecting: “The history of Japan and the spirit of our ancestors must never be cast aside. We must continue to safeguard those things that need to be preserved for the future. Doing so is more difficult than embracing change, and more important.”

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 8, 2025 – When Brad Pitt steps out under the neon glow of Las Vegas and hands his keys to a valet, you expect movie magic – not a five-time F1® race winner behind the wheel of a camouflaged prototype. That’s exactly the kind of high-energy surprise Mercedes-AMG staged to introduce the upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, kicking off a new era of performance with a blockbuster-style premiere that feels tailor-made for sports car fans.

A Las Vegas Stunt That Feels Like a Movie Scene

For this launch moment, Mercedes-AMG swapped the usual motor show stage for the buzzing streets of Las Vegas. The scene is simple and cinematic: Brad Pitt waits for his car at a valet stand, only to discover that his “valet” is actually Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team star George Russell. From there, the prototype Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe becomes the true co-star.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – For everyone who ever fell in love with a low-slung coupé on a poster, Toyota and Lexus just delivered a serious jolt of excitement: the world premiere of the Lexus LFA Concept EV sports car, together with the Toyota GR GT and GR GT3, promises a new era where performance, passion and future tech finally meet in one family of dream machines.

A World Premiere for Pure Driving Emotion

Held at Toyota’s Higashi-Fuji Plant in Eastern Japan, the event was less dry press conference and more love letter to car culture. It took place in a former press shop that once helped create the first Toyota Century in 1967 and is now reborn as the “Inventor’s Garage” of Woven City – a fitting stage for three radical new sports cars.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – Toyota is turning its most hardcore motorsport know-how into two new dream machines: the GR GT, a road-legal race car, and the GR GT3, a full FIA-spec customer race car designed for people who genuinely want to win on Sundays and still enjoy the brand’s racing spirit the rest of the week.

Flagship sports cars with true racing DNA

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – For anyone who ever had a 2000GT or the original Lexus LFA as a poster on their wall, Toyota and Lexus just handed you three new dream machines to obsess over: the all-new GR GT, the race-ready GR GT3 and the dramatic Lexus LFA Concept. Together, they’re not just show cars – they’re rolling proof that Japan’s biggest carmaker still believes in emotion, craftsmanship and goosebump-level performance in an increasingly electric, software-driven world.

Heritage reboot: what “Toyota’s Shikinen Sengu” really means

To understand these three flagships, you almost have to think like a shrine carpenter rather than a car engineer. Toyota frames them as part of “Toyota’s Shikinen Sengu,” inspired by a traditional Japanese ritual where a shrine is rebuilt every few decades to keep skills and spirit alive.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – September 23, 2025 – SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Sep. 23, 2025 – BMW fans, motorsport lovers, and car-curious families have a new reason to hit the road to Los Angeles this summer. The Petersen Automotive Museum has teamed up with BMW of North America to unveil a high-octane tribute to one of the brand’s most beloved icons: the BMW 3 Series. The exhibit, The Ultimate Racing Machine. 50 Years of the 3 Series in Motorsports, is now open in the newly reimagined Vault and will run for an entire year.

A golden anniversary worth celebrating

For half a century, the BMW 3 Series has been more than just a car—it’s been a global symbol of spirited driving, accessible luxury, and everyday performance. Whether spotted at a local racetrack or cruising down Pacific Coast Highway, the 3 Series carries a reputation built on generations of innovation, competition, and driver-first engineering.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – September 23, 2025 – SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Sep. 23, 2025 – When it comes to sibling rivalry, few stories can rival the emotional horsepower behind BMW's 2001 American Le Mans Series (ALMS) campaign. On one side stood the established might of BMW Motorsport’s Team Schnitzer. On the other, BMW of North America’s scrappy but determined Prototype Technology Group (PTG). What unfolded was a turbocharged season of drama, grit, and—ultimately—vindication.

More Than Just a Race Car—It Was a Statement

In the late ‘90s, PTG dominated GT racing with the E36 M3, taking wins and titles, yet earning little respect from BMW headquarters in Munich. As former BMW NA executive Rich Brekus put it, “Paul Rosche thought we had a hick NASCAR team running our M3 program.” That slight became fuel.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – September 23, 2025 – SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Sep. 23, 2025 – BMW fans, speed lovers, and adrenaline chasers — this one's for you. The new BMW M2 CS has just etched its name into Nürburgring history with a blistering lap time of 7:25.5, redefining what we can expect from compact performance cars. But this isn't just about lap times — it's about passion, precision, and the pure joy of driving.

A new compact king on the ‘Green Hell’

The Nürburgring-Nordschleife is no ordinary racetrack. Nicknamed the “Green Hell,” it’s a 12.9-mile stretch of asphalt revered (and feared) by racers across the world. On April 11, 2025, BMW M development engineer Jörg Weidinger tackled its 70+ turns with the M2 CS — and beat the existing compact car record by eight full seconds.
