The Next-Gen BMW 8 Series Will Be Radically Different

In 2025, the new model may be offered exclusively as an electric GranCoupe. The first-generation BMW 8 Series was a fantastic sports car, and its V-12 motor is still fondly remembered by many. BMW aimed to replicate its previous year’s success with the 2018 Coupe (G15), Convertible (G14), and GranCoupe (G16), but sales fell short of the Bavarian automaker’s expectations. This is why, over the past few years, there have been consistent rumors that BMW is planning to overhaul the 8 Series. Furthermore, new fuel has been added to these…

The BEV2 platform-based vehicle is essentially the successor to the hybrid Volt in Chevrolet’s lineup. After only one generation of sales and generally satisfied customers, the automaker announced in April that the vehicle would be discontinued. In 2021, the Bolt’s batteries were recalled, but the car still managed to recover because…

Lightning Lap 2023 America's Toughest Track's Hottest Cars

When it comes to car evaluation, no single metric sums up vehicle dynamics better than a lap time. No other test combines cornering, acceleration, and braking while also revealing information about at-the-limit behavior. And no North American track provides the variety and challenges that Virginia International Raceway’s 4.1-mile Grand Course does, which is why Lightning Lap has been held here since 2006. This year’s lineup resembles that of the first event, when we ran a Corvette Z06 but not one with a mid-engine 670-hp V-8. The first roster included a…

Coping with this loss might require a support group for former Cayman owners or indulging in a marathon of Ted Lasso episodes to lift our spirits. As we near the end of this testing phase, our sentiments toward Porsche’s mid-engine sports…
