Big thrills and the fastest acceleration times are in Toyota’s fastest production car to date, the BMW co-developed coupe, the Supra. All cars have a lot to offer. But if you’re after more performance, higher top speeds, and the ultimate road holding, a few aftermarket accessories can get you there

From suntan lotion and sweaty shirts, to power tools and pet hair, your truck’s seats and centre console can take a proper beating even during the course of ordinary use.

Seat covers can help you with your dirty dilemma; and fortunately, you don’t have to settle for ugly, universal-fitting ones that you wouldn’t otherwise hesitate to wipe your feet on.

Your engine may be brimming with raw horsepower, but it’s ultimately the right set of tires that get that power down to the ground. Tires are the unsung performance heroes in any car upgrade. They support the weight of the car, enable it to accelerate, brake and keep the vehicle stable in turns. And they’re directly involved in ride quality and comfort, working with the suspension to smooth out road imperfections. Changing tires that came with the car for different tread patterns and profiles, or tires suited to different seasons will also bring noticeable difference. Of course, those that have seen more miles, and are dangerously thin need to be replaced to ensure safety. But with all the available auto tire types, sizes and design [&hellip

Regardless of whether you go with the Ecoboost, GT or Dark Horse variants of the seventh-generation Ford Mustang, you’ll see sub-5-second sprints to 100km/h. Both the turbocharged 2.3-litre and aspirated 5-litre engines are quick to redlines and urged on by snappy six-speed manual or ten-speed auto transmissions. But the Mustang offers a whole lot more than just outright speed. The distinctive styling embodied in the pair of 3 stripe tail lights harking back to the 1964 original, the huge 19-inch cast alloys and Brembo brakes all-round, paired with grippy low-profile tyres, a limited-slip diff, and paddle shifters, equate to a soul-stirring ride.
