ARTA revealed its latest 🔥 designs ahead of the final pre-season test at Fuji Speedway, showcasing two distinct color designs on its #8 and #16 cars that represent 'day and night.' The #8 NSX-GT (top) features the team's signature Autobacs dayglo coloring across the entire car, as opposed to just the front half in previous years. In contrast, the #16 (bottom) car boasts a general black body with red accents on the rear wing, mirrors, front splitter, and dive planes.

In a nod to their new partner team, both ARTA cars proudly display the renowned Mugen 'eye', as the squad merged its own GT500 operation with Aguri Suzuki's namesake team during the offseason.

If you are looking to catch these two beautifully designed cars in action don’t forget to tune into the 2023 Super GT season starting April 14.

John Cena Said What about the Honda Civic Type R? 🤨

The Man, the Myth, the Legend is surprisingly a big car enthusiast, and thanks to an interview on the Whisky Ginger Podcast you get to hear Cena talk about his daily driver. When Cena, said his daily was a 2020 Honda Civic Type R the host Andrew Santino was in disbelief. John Cena exclaimed,

John Cena may speed on the highway but his choice of using the Honda Civic Type R as his daily driver is quite an unusual shock for someone of his popularity and stature. However, Cena's choice shows you that the Type R is not only a popular high-performance car, but it's also practical enough for daily use. Who knows, maybe we'll see more celebrities and enthusiasts following in Cena's footsteps and driving this iconic Honda model on a daily. But it sure, makes me consider following in his footsteps as well.

Honda Continues to Make Electrifying Start for New EV Hubs ⚡

Check it out! Honda's building up their "EV Hub" in Ohio, and they're dropping $700 mil to get three factories ready for electric rides. They're moving Accord production to Indiana to make space for EVs in Ohio. Plus, they're moving engine production to Alabama Auto Plant so they can make battery cases for their EVs, and they're setting up an assembly line in Georgia for e-axle production.

Honda's "EV Hub" will have three plants: Marysville Auto Plant, East Liberty Auto Plant, and Anna Engine Auto Plant, with a new battery production facility in the middle. They're partnering up with LG Energy Solution to build it, and they're aiming to finish it up by the end of 2024.

Honda's spending $40 billion to boost their hybrid and EV sales game, hoping to make 40% of their sales from electric rides by 2030. They're a bit behind their competitors, and their new Prologue electric vehicle is actually made in partnership with General Motors. But they're training their Marysville staff to make EVs and they're not planning any job cuts, so that's chill.

But are you ready to see your favorite vehicles become more eco-friendly?
