‘Mission: Impossible' star Tom Cruise's car collection: A 2005 Bugatti Veyron to a Porsche 993 and many more
The action star from the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise has taken the world by storm ever since the beginning of his career. The actor has managed to accumulate a lot of wealth in his years in the industry.
Due to this, he's managed to create quite an impressive collection of assets, specifically some of the most expensive and rare cars in his collection. From Porsche to Bugatti, the actor has it all. Here are some of the top cars in his mind-blowing car collection.
A Chevrolet Corvette C1: Vintage Dream
Tom Cruise
's collection consists of a lot of expensive as well as vintage marvels. The Chevrolet Corvette C1 from 1958 is one of those beauties. The actor owns this vintage car that has a two-tone glacier blue and white paint job, along with a 6.2-litre LS3 crate engine, as well as a total of 430 HP! The average market price for this car stands at a whopping $118,914!
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport with high horsepower
This Bugatti car in Cruise's multi-million-dollar car collection is a force to be reckoned with.
The car boasts 1,001 horsepower with its W16 engine. It also features a 75 HP four-cylinder to a 238 HP inline-six in the M3 Sport Evo. The exclusive car is one of the most renowned cars in his collection, not only for the fact that he was one of the first celebrities to purchase the car in 2005, but something else entirely. This car boasted a price of $1,850,000, making it one of the most expensive ones in his collection.
The actor, during the premiere of his film 'Mission: Impossible 3,' managed to get the car up to the red carpet with his wife (now divorced), Katie Holmes. The actor managed to get out of the car himself just fine; however, as he went to open the passenger door for his wife, it just would not budge. What is even funnier is that due to the incident, Cruise was 'allegedly' banned from purchasing any Bugattis in the future!
Porsche 993: Last of its kind
The Porsche 993 is another magnificent beauty in Cruise's collection.
The car boasts a new twin-turbocharged engine, all paired up with redesigned cylinder heads, with a 3.6-litre engine as well.

Formula E: Porsche and Nissan locked in intense battle for Team Championship
Image credit: Formula E Oliver Rowland of Nissan may be well ahead of Pascal Wehrlein of Porsche in terms of points, but their teams are currently locked in a neck-and-neck battle. Rowland has 171 points, while Wehrlein has 103 points in the Drivers' Standings. The Porsche driver will need a major turnaround — and hope the results start going in his favour — to catch up with the top-placed Rowland. Porsche vs Nissan: Neck-and-neck in Formula E Team Standings However, the situation is quite different in the Team Standings. Porsche are on top with 191 points, while Nissan are just one point behind with 190. This close competition has added an extra layer of excitement to the championship. Formula E's official social media handle shared a special post highlighting the tight battle between the two teams: 'The top is getting busy. @PorscheFormulaE and @NISMO battling it out for the Team Championship @Hankook_Sport #ShanghaiEPrix,' Formula E's handle posted. How points system works for Formula E teams Every team has two drivers. It depends on the positions the two drivers of the same team capture. The points of the two drivers combined in a race are considered as team points, and that's how team standings come into the picture. The race winner or the first-position driver gets 25 points, the second-placed gets 18 points, third-placed gets 15 points, fourth-placed gets 12 points, fifth-placed gets 10 points, sixth-placed gets 8 points, seventh-placed gets 6 points, eighth-placed gets 4 points, ninth-placed gets 2 points, and 10th-placed gets 1 point. Example: If a team's two drivers finish 3rd and 7th, they will earn 15 + 6 = 21 points for that race. The Formula E points system 1st: 25 Pts 2nd: 18 Pts 3rd: 15 Pts 4th: 12 Pts 5th: 10 Pts 6th: 8 Pts 7th: 6 Pts 8th: 4 Pts 9th: 2 Pts 10th: 1 Pt For Porsche, Wehrlein has clinched 103 points, while his teammate Antonio Felix da Costa has 88 points. For Nissan, Rowland has 171 points, but his teammate Norman Nato's poor show this season has cost the team dearly. Nato has just 19 points to his name. It's Rowland's sheer dominance this season that has kept his team in the Team Championship race. Also Read: Formula E Season 12 calendar unveiled, has 18 races in 12 cities on the list With five races to go in the season — one in Jakarta, two in Berlin, and two in London— the race for the Team Championship heats up, and it will be interesting to see who clinches the title at the end of the season.

Tesla robotaxi rollout in Austin tests Musk's vision of self-driving future
Tesla faces an existential test this month as it aims to launch self-driving "robotaxis" in its home base of Austin , Texas, where public-safety officials are increasingly concerned about the state's anti-regulation stance toward autonomous vehicles. For Tesla, the launch of between 10 and 20 Model Y vehicles follows a decade of unfulfilled promises of self-driving vehicles from CEO Elon Musk , who last year staked the company's future on such technology as it pivoted away from chasing rapid growth in electric-vehicle sales. The Austin robotaxi launch, which Musk says will "tentatively" open to the public on June 22, comes as Tesla tries to arrest a global vehicle-sales slide, stemming from both its aging lineup of human-driven electric vehicles and Musk's right-wing political activities. Some analysts and investors attribute the majority of Tesla's stock market value to hopes for robotaxis and humanoid robots it has yet to deliver. On an earnings call last year, Musk said investors "should sell their Tesla stock" if they did not believe the company would solve the technological challenges of driverless vehicles. For the city of Austin, Tesla's launch adds anxiety to a regulation-free landscape for autonomous vehicles. The Texas legislature in 2017 prohibited cities from regulating autonomous vehicles as a way to promote the industry's growth statewide. Now, as the vehicles proliferate, some politicians, public-safety officials and advocates are pushing for more rules. Austin police officers continually have run into problems with autonomous vehicles from Alphabet's Waymo and General Motors' now-defunct Cruise freezing up when they encounter complex traffic situations, such as festivals where officers direct traffic with hand signals, said Austin Police Lieutenant William White . Vehicles have disregarded traffic barriers and driven into prohibited areas, he said. "It's been very frustrating on our end from a safety standpoint," said White , who oversees autonomous-vehicle safety for the department. "If these machines are learning, they're not learning at a quick enough pace for sure." Waymo said it works closely with Austin officials and is always looking to improve the technology. The Texas legislature passed a bill last month that for the first time would require autonomous-vehicle companies to apply for authorization to operate in the state, and give state authorities the power to revoke permits if a driverless vehicle "endangers the public." Firms are also required to provide the state information on how police and first responders can deal with the vehicles in emergency situations. If the bill is signed by the governor, it is unclear when the new system would take effect, but likely not until next year, according to a state Department of Motor Vehicles spokesperson. UNANSWERED QUESTIONS Musk and Tesla have given few details about their plans for the Austin robotaxi launch. Among the key questions is whether the cars will include new sensors or other technology that differs from the currently offered "Full Self-Driving" feature, which is not autonomous. In a post on his X social media platform on Tuesday, Musk described the driverless Austin vehicles as "unmodified Tesla cars" using a "new version of software." In January, Musk said Tesla would be offering "autonomous ride-hailing for money in Austin, in June," followed by other American cities "as swiftly as possible." He has described Tesla's approach as one that "works anywhere." In April, he said the Austin rollout would begin with 10 or 20 Model Y vehicles, and that the company would "scale it up rapidly after that" to be in "many other cities in the U.S." by the end of the year. He predicted there would be "millions of Teslas" operating "fully autonomously" by the second half of next year. Musk's statements in recent weeks have been more cautious. On CNBC last month, he said that when Tesla deploys robotaxis in Austin, the company will "geofence" the vehicles and operate in "only the parts of Austin that we consider to be the safest." He said company staff would remotely monitor the vehicles. "We're going to be extremely paranoid about the deployment, as we should be," he said. Musk and Tesla have not said who the passengers will be, how Tesla will charge for rides, where in Austin they will operate or how extensive the remote operation will be. Rivals have started testing with their own employees and a limited number of passengers before opening the services to anyone. In a post on X on Tuesday night, Musk said public rides would begin "tentatively, June 22," adding "the date could shift." One video that surfaced on social media on Tuesday, which Musk reposted, showed a Model Y with the word "Robotaxi" driving on a street in Austin with no human driver, followed closely by a second Tesla vehicle. In a May 28 post on X, Musk said the company had recently started testing "self-driving" vehicles on Austin public streets with "no one in driver's seat." Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla advertisements for "teleoperation" positions say the company needs the ability to "access and control" autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots remotely, adding that such employees can "remotely perform complex and intricate tasks." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration inquired last month about many of the unanswered questions surrounding the Austin rollout. The agency, which is investigating Tesla's FSD driver-assistance feature after a fatal crash in 2023, sent a detailed request seeking information about safety features, Tesla's timetable for expansion, where exactly it will be operating the vehicles and how it is preparing for accidents and emergency scenarios. The responses are due next week. A person familiar with NHTSA's operations said the agency sent the letter because it already has concerns about Tesla's current FSD technology, which it sells to customers for $99 a month, and it fears that Tesla's Austin rollout may not be safe. The Texas attorney general is considering a Reuters request for communications between Tesla and city officials in Austin over the past two years, which Tesla has opposed over trade secrets concerns. Austin's Department of Transportation and Public Works declined to discuss Tesla's operations. A person familiar with Austin's autonomous-vehicle policies said the city has been meeting regularly with Tesla since December and that the company has shared some deployment plans with the city. Safety experts say there has been a dearth of information about Tesla's technology. Phil Koopman , a Carnegie Mellon University engineering professor and autonomous-vehicle safety expert, said Musk's statements "leave room for ambiguity" about its plans in Austin and the sophistication of its robotaxi technology. "When you start to pin it down, it's like jello," he said. He questioned whether Tesla would be ready for a rapid nationwide rollout soon. "Having 10 cars on the road and not having a crash," Koopman said, "is sort of table stakes for this game."
