Car-lover and comedian Kevin Hart has added a new car to his collection, and electric-car start-up Lucid has an unusual offer.
When we’re not creating it ourselves, the Drive team spends a lot of time finding and consuming motoring content from all over the world.
Here’s a handful of the photos, articles, videos or social media posts that most caught our eye last week. Some of them are brand new, others have been online for a while.
Enjoy them – just not too much, okay?
Comedian Kevin Hart is the new owner of an awesome custom Plymouth Road Runner
Comedian and actor Kevin Hart has just picked up a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner – restored and modified by Salvaggio Design in Wisconsin, USA.
Hart is an avid car enthusiast and apparently a fan of the Halloween movies, given this vehicle appears to have been influenced by the movie franchise.
This car is powered by a 7.0-litre (426ci) Hemi V8 – also fitted with a Winberg crank, CP pistons, the camshaft and ported heads from a Demon, Holley Dominator EFI fuel injection, a Magnaflow exhaust, and a 3.8-litre Whipple supercharger, combining to produce an incredible 701kW.
The car still holds its original flair, but various elements such as the custom-designed carbon-fibre bonnet and bumpers have been reworked for Hart’s one-off machine.
With no stone left unturned we’d love to know the price behind this redesign – but the final bill remains a a secret for now.
