  • Jamie Foxx with the Rezvani Tank

For instance, last summer he posted a photo of himself posing with a Bugatti Veyron he had wrapped in gold. Fast forward today and it appears his current ride is a Rezvani Tank. We're not sure if the actor actually bought the Tank or was simply borrowing it for an extended test drive. That's because it doesn't appear to have a license plate. Instead, it has a small shield that just says “Tank” where the license plate would normally sit. Nevertheless, Foxx has been spotted...

In an optimistic interview with The Sunday Times, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond both discussed why self-driving cars won't instantly kill the car as we know it.

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger introduces the Kreisel Hummer H1 electric conversion

Now, thanks to Austrian firm Kreisel, Schwarzenegger’s dream of an electric H1 has become a reality. The vehicle was revealed on Tuesday to mark the opening of Kreisel’s new R&D center in Rainbach im Mühlkreis, Austria.
