Kevin Hart Bringing 11 Of His Cars To LA Auto Show, Including 1,000 HP 1970 Charger

Comedian and actor Kevin Hart will display 11 of his cars at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show running from November 17-26 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This will be the first time that Hart has showcased his ‘Kollection’ to the public.

Hart has a particular affinity for restomods of classic American muscle cars. One of his cars, a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner, is known as ‘Michael Myers’ and was comprehensively overhauled by Sean Smith and Salvaggio Design. It is fitted with a supercharged Hemi V8 delivering 940 hp and mated to a six-speed manual transmission. It is painted black and features a number of Halloween-inspired orange accents.

A host of other Hart’s prized possessions are sure to get attendees talking. These include a 1970 Dodge Charger known as Hellraiser that was built by SpeedKore throughout 2020. The car has a lightweight carbon fiber body and is powered by Mopar’s insane 7.0-liter Hellephant V8 crate engine with 1,000 hp and 950 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. Hart is also bringing along his 1987 Buick Regal Grand National T-Top ‘Dark Knight’ with a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 from a Cadillac ATS-V boosted to produce 640 hp.

One of the comedian’s other restomods will be displayed. It is known as ‘Bad News’ and is based on a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. It is equipped with an LS7 V8 with two turbochargers and delivers 650 hp and 680 lb-ft of torque. Hart is also bringing along the original 1959 Chevrolet Corvette he purchased for $825,000 in 2021, a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle, a 1969 Pontiac GTO, a 1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible, a 1970 Dodge Challenger, a 2022 Ferrari SF90 Spider, and a 2023 Ferrari 812 Competizione.

“I’m pumped for people to see my cars in person,” Hart said. “Some have been at the big hot rod shows, but this is the first time they’ll all be together. And to do it at a major international event like the LA Auto Show was the ideal place to make it happen. I can’t wait for fans to see them and find out which one is their favorite.”

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Image
Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.

The New Honda Prelude Will Be A Global Model, But It Won’t Be A Toyota GR 86

Image
Last month, Honda rolled out the red carpet for the the hybrid Prelude Concept , heralding the comeback of a historic name in the motoring world. Now, this car has been given the green light as a global model, set to cater to both right- and left-hand drive markets. However, it might not quite rev up to be the full-throttle sports car many enthusiasts were anticipating Despite being labeled a concept by Honda, the car presented at the Japan Mobility Show (JMS) looked quite production-ready. And if we know anything about Honda, they have a knack for unveiling thinly-disguised production cars as concepts. Take the last two Civics, for example. The 10th-gen Civic Concept was more or less the Civic coupe of that generation with a more aggressive stance and altered bumpers, while the 11th-gen Civic Prototype was virtually the same sedan that made it to production.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i...
