RestoMods Launches RM31 Giveaway: Win a Supercharged 1967 Camaro and $50,000
RestoMods has officially launched its 31st giveaway, and this time, the prize is a beastly 1967 Chevrolet Camaro packing modern supercar-level power. Finished in Tuxedo Black, RM31 is a fully reimagined muscle car blending vintage style with cutting-edge performance—and one lucky winner will also take home $50,000 in cash.
At the heart of this custom-built Camaro is a Whipple-supercharged Wegner LSX engine mated to a T56 six-speed manual transmission. Supporting all that power is a Chris Alston Chassisworks front subframe, rear 4-link suspension, and a Fab9 fabricated 9-inch rear end. A Holley Terminator X-Max system, carbon fiber driveshaft, and Wilwood brakes on all four corners ensure it's as fast and controlled as it is loud.
The car rides on Boze Forged Synchro wheels—18x8.5-inch in the front and massive 18x12-inch in the rear—wrapped in sticky Toyo Proxes R888R tires for maximum grip. A full roll cage, LED lighting, new chrome bumpers, and a sleek full window tint complete the aggressive stance.
Inside, it's clear this Camaro is built for both performance and comfort. The cockpit features houndstooth Recaro seats secured with Sparco belts, TMI interior panels, a Holley LCD dash, and Restomod Air A/C for modern cooling.
This RM31 giveaway is the latest in RestoMods' ongoing mission to keep the spirit of classic cars alive while giving them performance upgrades for modern roads.

GM President Outlines Criteria for Next-Gen Camaro
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious Could the Camaro Return as an EV? The Chevrolet Camaro may be gone for now, but General Motors President Mark Reuss has made it clear that the iconic pony car is not forgotten. Speaking with The Detroit News during last month's 24 Hours of Le Mans, Reuss shared insight into what would be necessary to bring the Camaro back – and hinted at the possibility of electrification playing a key role. Reuss, who has been a longtime advocate for GM performance vehicles, reflected on his personal connection to the Camaro. His first car was a 1967 model, purchased with his father for $1,300. 'It was high school, I was 16, and it brought so much joy to me,' Reuss said. 'Not because I was racing the car, but because it was a really pretty car.' That sense of beauty and joy, according to Reuss, would be central to a successful revival. 'I think that formula of beauty – and a little bit of functionality and fun – all of that is important,' he explained. 'If we were getting back into Camaro, that piece of it is really important.' However, Reuss also acknowledged the shrinking pony car market, citing Ford's sales success with the electric Mustang Mach-E over its traditional V8-powered counterpart. That could mean GM is considering a similar two-pronged approach: an electrified Camaro variant to meet modern market demands, paired with the possibility of a traditional performance-focused version to keep enthusiasts engaged. While Reuss stopped short of confirming any return, his comments suggest that GM has not closed the door on the Camaro nameplate. For fans mourning its 2024 discontinuation, this may be the clearest sign yet that a new Camaro—potentially with both EV and V8 options—could someday roar back to life.

Both Land Rover Defender 90 and Lexus LC500 Go V-8-Only for 2026
The 2026 Land Rover Defender 90 will only be offered with the 518-hp V-8 engine. This raises the two-door Defender's base price from $58,750 last year to $116,250 for 2026. Similarly, Lexus's beautiful coupe is now only sold as the V-8-powered LC500 for 2026, with the slow-selling LC500h V-6 hybrid no longer available. Despite an influx of electric and hybrid offerings, the V-8 engine isn't dead just yet. In fact, for two vehicles, the V-8 powertrain is the only one to survive for the 2026 model year. The two-door Land Rover Defender 90 drops both its four-cylinder and six-cylinder setups, entering 2026 exclusively with a supercharged V-8. Similarly, Lexus is ditching the hybrid V-6 found in the LC500h, leaving the LC500's 5.0-liter V-8 as the sole engine choice in Lexus's elegant GT car for 2026. Two Doors and Plenty of Power The Defender 90 had previously been offered with three powertrains, starting with the 296-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the base S trim. The X-Dynamic SE trim brought a 395-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that was augmented by an electric supercharger and a 48-volt hybrid system. The Defender 90 V8 served as the two-door range-topper, but it now represents the only way to get the stubbier 90 model for 2026, a Land Rover spokesperson confirmed to Car and Driver. Land Rover This move significantly raises the base price for the Defender 90. Previously, pricing began at $58,750 for the S trim, with the X-Dynamic SE ringing in at $70,350. Now, getting into a Defender 90 will require quite a bit more coin, with the V8 model starting at $116,250 for the 2026 model year. That's $57,500 more than last year's base price, meaning the entry cost for a two-door Defender is now almost double the amount needed to buy a 2025 Defender 90 S. Along with reworking the Defender 90's lineup, Land Rover also gave its boxy off-roader some upgrades for 2026. The most notable visual change is in the headlights, where the two LED tabs in the top outside corner are now filled in instead of an outline. Inside, all Defenders now feature a 13.1-inch touchscreen. Goodbye, Hybrid Meanwhile, over at Lexus, the brand's beautiful coupe and convertible carry over for 2026 with minimal changes, except that you can now only buy the LC with the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8. The LC500h, which had a 354-hp hybrid setup that paired a 3.5-liter V-6 with two electric motors, is no more, a Lexus spokesperson confirmed. Lexus Most shoppers won't notice, however, as the LC500h has been a blip on the radar. In 2024, Lexus sold just 18 LC hybrids, compared to 1446 LC500s with a V-8 engine. That skewed ratio wasn't a one-off, with only 37 hybrids finding homes in 2023, versus 1724 V-8 models. The LC500h totaled 19 sales in 2022, 14 in 2021, 14 in 2020, and 37 in 2019. Other than discontinuing the LC500h, it's business as usual for the LC500. There's a new iteration of the Inspiration Series for the 2026 coupe, limited to 200 units and sporting a new color (Smoke Matte Gray) paired with a black-and-white interior. The 2026 LC500 convertible gets its own Inspiration Series, capped at 350 units and featuring a new color called Wind with Saddle Tan and white seats. The 2026 LC500 coupe starts at $101,700, while the convertible will require $109,200.
