The 2024 McLaren 750S Coupe and Spider Deliver More of Everything

The two-dimensional logo for Estoril, a great former Formula 1 track, doesn’t do it credit. The layout shown is not like a bent paperclip; it’s a complicated and difficult ribbon of asphalt that has been skillfully stretched over Portugal’s coastal mountain terrain. The 2024 McLaren 750S is a powerful rear-drive supercar with 740 horsepower. It should be scary to drive around an old-school F1 track, but the 750S is so well-kept that I, who had never been there before, felt like I could push like hell without worrying about crashing…

The 2025 Subaru Forester has a new look, but it's the same inside.

At the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show, Subaru showed off the 2025 Forester for the first time. Big claims of “all-newness” are made all the time, but the 2025 Subaru Forester does have new sheet metal, a stiffer frame, and a bigger infotainment screen inside. When it hits the market, there will be five trim levels to choose from: base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring. A Wilderness trim level and a hybrid choice are likely to be added one day. The Forester looks more ready for action from the outside…

Mercedes-AMG's New GT63 Coupe Aims for More Mass Appeal

Did you know that spider legs don’t have muscles? It’s real. Their legs are moved by a system that works like a hydraulic pump and uses blood as the fuel. That’s why spiders’ legs curl up after they die. We’re not saying that spiders were the inspiration for this, but the new Mercedes-AMG GT’s standard hydraulic anti-roll control looks like the legs of a spider. McLaren has used a hydropneumatic system for a long time. The GT’s corners are joined by circuits that control the car’s roll stiffness. There is…

Here Are the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N's Coolest Performance Upgrades

Have a better look at the Ioniq 5 N, which has 641 horsepower and a lot of other changes to the engine and chassis. The new 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N was just shown off at the 2023 L.A. Auto Show. This is the first time we’ve seen this high-performance EV in U.S. trim. We already know the Ioniq 5 N’s basic specs and have driven it on a racetrack. Now we’ll get into the specifics of this new model, which will hit U.S. stores in March 2024. Hyundai’s performance…

Watch the 2024 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale Set a Lap Record at Fiorano Circuit

At Fiorano Circuit, owned by Ferrari, the 2024 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale set a new lap record for production cars. A Ferrari test driver named Raffaele de Simone clocked a 1:17.3 in the new XX car. This made it 1.4 seconds faster than the standard SF90 Stradale with the Assetto Fiorano kit. Before the SF90 XX, Ferrari’s XX cars could only be used on the track. This is the first XX car that can be driven on the street. Plug-in hybrids come in two different types. One is a standard…

2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Avoids the Range Anxiety of EV Trucks

Electric trucks are great because they don’t need to go to gas stations and have a lot of torque and efficiency. When EV pickups are asked to carry heavy loads or pull big things, their range and efficiency go down, and their users’ stress levels usually go through the roof. It looks like Ram has a solution for people who want a full-size truck that has the best of both electric and gas engines. Here comes the new Ramcharger plug-in hybrid. A Hybrid Plug-in Pickup The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger…

Presenting Car and Driver's 2023 EV of the Year

We’re back again. After putting all of this year’s new EVs through a week of close inspection, hard driving, and long charge times, a Hyundai came out on top. The Ioniq 5 won last year, and this year its new sedan sister, the Ioniq 6, does the same thing and wins. The Genesis Electrified GV70 and the Kia EV6 GT also did very well, which helps paint a picture: the Hyundai-Kia-Genesis group is definitely ahead when it comes to EVs that play in the broad main market. There are a…

2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic, a Rear-Drive, Manual Turbo

2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic, a Rear-Drive, Manual Turbo

As we sat close, the burrito artist gave the 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic a short, two-word review. “Nice spec,” he said, pointing to the big truck we had backed into the center parking spot. The editor in our heads thought that words like “awesome,” “wicked,” or even “bitchin’” would have fit the car’s vintage vibe better. He had no idea how right he was. It makes me think of the 2010 911 Sport Classic and earlier models. With the same gray paint, an indented hood from the air-cooled era,…

Chevy K5 Blazer Conversion Is a Badass SEMA Build but Costs $202K

Every major automaker now offers at least one off-road or four-wheel-drive SUV model. In 2018, the Arkansas-based restomod business Flat Out Autos transformed a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 into a 21st-century Jimmy SUV. The same business attempted a contemporary Chevrolet K5 Blazer for this year’s SEMA exhibition. Renewed K5 Blazer Flat Out Autos came up with the ingenious appellation KR2 for the updated model, a play on Chevy’s current off-road-oriented ZR2 designation. The KR2 is essentially a shortened and wider 2023 Silverado in appearance. Under the skin, the KR2 is…

2023 Audi TT Says Bye-Bye with Beautiful Final Edition Roadster

After the 2023 model year, Audi will no longer produce the TT, but before it goes out, it’s releasing a special “Final Edition” roadster. With a Palomino Brown interior and a gray cloth convertible top, the Audi TT Final Edition looks great in Goodwood Green pearl paint. At its current price of $68,895, only 50 copies of the Final Edition will be imported to the United States. It’s a shame to see the Audi TT go into retirement after the 2023 model year, but sports vehicles have a short lifespan.…
