It’s all coming to an end for the Nissan GT-R. A notice posted to the automaker’s consumer website in Japan says the company has closed the order books for the iconic supercar. The GT-R has been disappearing from various markets since 2021, and production for the North American model ended last October. The note, translated into English, says, “Nissan GT-R has received orders from many customers and has closed the…
The Honda Prologue was a notable automotive surprise last year. A result of Honda’s collaboration with GM to use the latter’s platform for EVs, the Prologue outsold every other GM electric car. For 2025, Honda is sweetening the deal, with a bump in power and range figures, without a corresponding price increase, bar a $55 increase in destination fee. Here’s how the 2025 Prologue compares to its predecessor, with pricing…
Toyota has been holding on to the global car sales crown since it overtook Volkswagen in 2020. How are the Germans fighting back? By betting on SUVs to save the day once again. While we thought there wasn’t room left for yet another high-riding model, VW is proving us all wrong.

A Maserati MC20 has just set a record in Florida. A team has modified the Italian supercar to drive autonomously, and it reached 197.7 miles per hour at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), beating the previous record of 192.8 mph. The record run happened at KSC’s Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility last month during the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida. It’s one of the world’s longest runways, measuring 2.8 miles…
It’s understandable why so many automakers have moved away from selling no-frills cars. Profit margins are smaller when you’re not charging extra for features we take for granted in modern cars. Relevant examples include touchscreens, alloy wheels, and electric windows. But some mainstream brands have crunched the numbers and found a way to sell basic vehicles and still make money. Dacia is one of them, and Stellantis also has a…
Mercedes is going to be extremely busy over the next couple of years. The German luxury brand intends to roll out 17 electric vehicles and 19 models with combustion engines. The portfolio will be overhauled with fresh products, ranging from an all-new CLA to an S-Class facelift. New additions will include electric C-Class and E-Class sedans and a smaller G-Class. The AMG division is also keeping busy with a pair…
When you think stage rally, the Porsche 911 probably isn’t the first car that comes to mind. But the iconic sports car’s unique weight balance and stiff chassis make it an ideal candidate to compete in two-wheel drive classes. Some go as far as to take GT3 Cup cars built to race on road courses and transform them into rally machines. And that’s exactly what’s happened here. The current 992-generation 911…

Garage 54 has no shortage of wild builds, but its latest one pushes the boundaries of do-it-yourself engineering. The team built a cartoonishly supersized Lada and decided that such a unique build needed an equally special powertrain. So, the crew decided to put two 1.6-liter Lada motors into the massive engine bay, combining their output for double the thrust. The engines make about 76 horsepower each, and the crew installed…
Since its debut last year, Dodge has billed the Charger Daytona as the “world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car.” The performance-oriented EV is slowly working its way into the hands of buyers, and with some now heading to the drag strip, we can finally test the accuracy of that statement. How does the electric Charger tackle the quarter-mile? For starters, it’s not doing a burnout, because it can’t. But…
