### 4 New Cars to Check Out
First up, we have the Gran Turismo F3500-A. It’s a thrilling take on classic F1 cars available through Brand Central. This original machine is powered by a 3.5L naturally aspirated V12, with a chassis made from carbon fiber styled after the early ’90s F1 cars. With its high-revving engine and aerodynamic design, it’s a car that screams for attention.
Next is the Honda Civic Si Extra (EF) ’87—another gem from Brand Central! This classic Civic model was a dominating force in touring car racing, featuring a robust ZC engine packed with sporty handling and admirable stability. Its racing history in the Japan Touring Car Championship gives it a pedigree that any car enthusiast would admire.
On the modern side, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N ‘24 brings electric innovation to the fore. Developed across Namyang and the Nürburgring, this electric-first model offers a remarkable 641 BHP and features a dynamic four-wheel drive with a drift option. It blurs the lines of traditional BEVs in more ways than one, with a knockout design to match.
Lastly, the Toyota C-HR S ’18 rounds off the list, showcasing Toyota’s innovative approach in the crossover SUV segment. With its global appeal, the C-HR combines style, space, and performance—having even flexed its muscles at the famed Nürburgring 24 Hours.
