Lambo Doors Make Even An Already Perfect Bright Yellow Celica Better
A bright yellow Toyota Celica is one of the better cars on planet Earth, on this I think we can all agree. It's a Celica, it's bright yellow, what else could you possibly want? Well, it turns out there's still room for improvement. You could have a bright yellow Toyota Celica with Lamborghini doors, the objectively superior door. This is, truly, as good as cars get.
This Celica popped up on Facebook Marketplace a few weeks ago, and it's just about perfect in every way with the doors closed. This generation of Celica was a truly gorgeous era, especially in such clean condition as this one, but this beautiful owner one-upped Toyota's work. Just look at how beautiful this is! This might well be the peak of automotive design, and I challenge any manufacturer to do better within their own design departments. This is the new standard for you to meet.

I am a genuine proponent of upward-swinging doors like this. Without any hyperbole, I think that all cars having these doors would be a benefit to society. Think about every tight parking spot you've ever been in, every parking lot door ding you've ever gotten, and imagine that all those struggles were gone. Doors that open upwards can't hit their neighbors in a parking lot, they can't get hemmed in by tall curbs or streetside trash cans. Sure, these doors look cool, but they're also just a better way to get in and out of vehicles.
Lambo doors are great. Celicas are great. Yellow is great. That combination of factors makes this just about the best car on Facebook Marketplace, if not the greatest on American roads today. It's got an automatic transmission, and I don't even care because of how beautiful it is. This is the apex of the automotive art form.

Toyota's Most Powerful Land Cruiser Ever Isn't Coming to America. But Something Nicer Already Has
The manufacturer's iconic nameplate gets supercharged with the Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid, only available overseas. But all hope is not lost. Nameplates hardly get any more prestigious than the Land Cruiser. Toyota's legendary SUV emerged from military prototypes used during the Korean War. And while the Land Cruiser has since evolved into one of the most luxurious vehicles on the road, it hasn't lost its reputation for durability and reliability, even if its context is decidedly more civilian than rugged now. Estimated to ship in September, a new Land Cruiser on the way will push the envelope even further, thanks to a hybrid powertrain that makes it the most powerful, responsive and efficient SUV to ever wear the iconic nameplate. Under the hood, the Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid boasts a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with a parallel hybrid system, bumping the combined output to a formidable 457 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque — more power than that of the diesel variant sold in several markets. Other features include a waterproofed battery area, Electric Power Steering and a built-in 1,500W AC inverter output, for drivers who do decide to take it off-grid. Now onto the bad news: this new high-end Land Cruiser isn't coming to the US, at least to start, with an initial launch set for the Middle East to coincide with the region's commitments to carbon neutrality with UAE Net Zero 2050. Pricing starts at 389,900 United Arab Emirates dirhams (around $106,000 USD). The vehicle will then make its way to Australia in 2026. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Toyota UAE (@toyotauae) That means US buyers will have to settle for the more humble 250 series for now, but all hope isn't lost out the gate. The hybrid Land Cruiser 300 the same TNGA-F platform and output as the 2025 Lexus LX 700h, available in the US since early 2025. However, power doesn't come cheap, as the ultra-luxe trim represents the manufacturer's priciest SUV to date — and by quite the margin. With its best-in-class sound system, seats that massage and premium leather and wood treatments, the 2025 Lexus LX 700h starts north of $115,000 and up to $141,350 for the top trim. But damn if it isn't a nice ride. Jack Seemer is the executive editor at Gear Patrol, with over a decade of experience in product journalism.

You Won't Believe What Makes the 2025 Mustang GTD Cost That Much
Earlier this week, Car and Driver first reported a leaked window sticker for a 2025 Mustang GTD submitted by the vehicle's owner, with the starting price reaching $327,960 after destination and gas guzzler charges. However, you may be curious to learn more about the exact features forming this exorbitant price tag, how it compares to competitors, and its track capabilities. We introduced you to the 2025 Mustang GTD on Thursday. Now, it's time for a deeper dive into this car's engineering, performance, and marketplace position. The 815-horsepower 2025 Mustang GTD's design emphasizes weight reduction, enhanced handling, and blazing speed with available forged magnesium wheels with a race-optimized strength-to-weight ratio, along with lightweight carbon fiber body panels, a carbon fiber driveshaft, and the available carbon fiber underbody aerodynamic tray. Even the titanium exhaust voicing the 5.2L V8 engine is ultralight, and handling benefits from front six-piston Brembo anti-lock brakes and 345 mm-wide rear high-performance summer road and track tires. Ford's 2025 Mustang GTD completed a Nürburgring Nordschleife lap in 6:57:685-the fifth-fastest time by a stock production sports car and only the sixth vehicle in its class to crack the iconic track's seven-minute lap barrier. The American automaker accomplished this feat through features like a dual-clutch, 8-speed rear transaxle connected to a carbon fiber driveshaft for significant power to pavement transfers and a near 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution, helping it navigate the track's 73 turns and corners. Many of Nürburgring Nordschleife's turns generate high G-forces, but the 2025 Mustang GTD's short-long arm front suspension enhances lateral stiffness and tire/road alignment. Additionally, the GTD's dry sump oil system, the first-ever in a Mustang, optimizes performance by increasing oil capacity and reliability while reducing oil starvation under high G-forces. Ford complements these track-ready features with an aerodynamic rear wing for road-gripping downforce and front vents that reduce lift and drag. The 2025 GTD is masterful on the track, but its dual ride height also lends itself to surface streets. This Ford features Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) technology with an advanced suspension system that includes adaptive dampers, allowing ride heights to vary by nearly 40mm (1.57 inches) with the press of a button. Comparable 2025 Ford Mustang GTD rivals include Lamborghini's Huracán STO, starting at $344,778, McLaren's 750S coupe with a base MSRP of around $324,000, and Ferrari's 296 GTB, which sells from $346,950. Lamborghini's Huracán STO falls short of the Mustang GTD's 825 max horsepower at 630, and it's more focused on pure driving instead of track runs, but it's also lighter than its Ford counterpart. McLaren's 750S coupe falls shy of the Mustang GTD's horsepower at 740, but it offers a 0-60 mph time about 0.3 seconds faster than its competitor. Ferrari's 296 GTB gives the Mustang GTD the best run for its money in terms of horsepower at 819, but some may not prefer its hybrid powertrain. You wouldn't be wrong to label the 2025 Mustang GTD's price tag as eye-watering, and its cost rises significantly with added options. This Ford enters supercar territory with exotic materials, dynamic engineering, and a robust powertrain, but it's also a car you can enjoy both on and off the track. If you want to own the most exclusive Mustang ever, the GTD delivers plenty of thrills and style. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
