A new Corvette Grand Sport has not been announced yet, but you would not know it from how hard Chevrolet is now working to hide it. After internal leaks pointed to a new LS6 V8 and a 2027 C8 Grand Sport, GM has quietly started stripping those references from its own systems, and that cleanup is only making fans more convinced the car is real.

Life After the $7,500 Tax Credit The discontinuation of electric vehicle incentives—most notably the $7,500 federal tax credit that expired on September 30, 2025—has significantly reshaped automakers’ EV strategies, with Tesla even being overtaken by Chinese rival BYD in global EV sales. In response to the slowdown, California is now seeking to offset some of those losses by proposing $200 million in new EV incentives. According to a report from Reuters, California Governor Gavin Newsom is explo

Freiburger and Derek are back at it, but this time it’s Derek who’s helping Freiburger, since Freiburger helped him with the Jeep Wagoneer project not long ago. These two are good together and it makes me laugh. So will they be able to make this really great deal turn into a really good running great deal? Let’s see if these two can save this Model A from being yard art. Video Description: In this episode, it’s Derek from Vice Grip Garage to the rescue as he helps me revive my bone stock 1929

You have to love the idea of Disco Dean and Kye Kelley as teammates for the 2.4 Hours of LeMullets in Florida. If you aren’t familiar with this race, it is a 2.4 hour long endurance race that is held at Cleetus McFarland’s Freedom Factory in Bradenton Florida. For the race, Cleetus invites a bunch of folks to come out and race in pretty comparable Ford Crown Victorias. Each of them is race ready when the teams arrive, with the exception of some of their own “visual customization”. So what did Ky

LED Light Bars Are Taking Over Over the last decade, we’ve seen LED taillight bars on new cars become pretty much the go-to design choice, in the process also becoming one of the most divisive changes in car design. Everyone from Kia to Porsche uses a horizontal strip of LEDs at the rear. Some designs, like on the new Tesla Model Y, take things even further, with a truly unconventional glowing light bar design. So unconventional, in fact, that a Model Y driver was pulled over in Indiana because

That’s right, it’s January and that means that King of the Hammers is coming! King of the Hammers 2026 officially starts on January 22nd and will continue for more than two weeks. It features tons of prerunning, qualifying, and racing over those weeks and is an absolutely amazing event. If you dig off-road racing then you’ll like this event becuase there are vehicles of all kinds racing on two and four wheels. This is one of the gnarliest races in the world, and it all happens at the dry lake be

We love Goodwood and all the great content they share all year long, because it has so much good history and action. But when they put out a best of the year video you know it has to be good. I mean how do they choose? Whoever is on that committee is having some fun, but also has a tough job. Let’s see what they chose for their favorites of 2025! Video Description: 2026 is promising to be an incredible year at Goodwood, but before the action starts, let’s look back at the best moments in 2025.

You may not be able to get the new Honda Prelude with anything more than a 200-horsepower hybrid powertrain, but you can always make it look quicker than it is. Nobody is better for that job than Honda tuning company Mugen, known for outfitting both everyday and high-performance Hondas with aggressive body kits and aerodynamic components. Mugen unveiled its body kit for the Prelude last year, and now we have pricing, the full selection of parts, and availability for the kit. The bad news? It’s u

I love it when you can restore an old tool. Anything that still serves a purpose and can be useful in the shop or garage is always good, and sometimes these small projects are just what you need to get a break from your bigger projects. So when Brent at Half Ass Kustoms put out this new video of him restoring an old long reach, high lift, floor jack that had sort of survived the shop fire he had in 2024, I knew I was going to dig it. It sort of worked after the fire, but jacks that sort of work

From Mazda6e to CX-6e A year after Mazdaintroduced the Mazda6e in Europe, it’s back with a similar formula, this time in a body style that’s more likely to catch on. The original 6e, also known as the EZ-6 in China, was essentially the classic Mazda6 sedan reworked for the EV age. It kept things simple: clean lines, a minimalist look, and a cabin dominated by screens to show Mazda was serious about electric cars. Now Mazda has taken that base and turned it into the CX-6e, a mid-size electric cro

Chevy’s Affordable EV Reenters the Market The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is reportedly beginning to arrive at dealerships, with build configurations visible for buyers considering the returning all-electric hatchback. What immediately stands out about the new Bolt is its pricing position. It is currently among the cheapest electric vehicles available in the U.S., carrying a starting sticker price of $28,995 (including destination fees). As standard, the Bolt delivers an EPA-estimated driving range of 2

Sci-Fi Styling Now a Full EV When Hyundaifirst showed the Staria in 2021, it was hard to miss. The clean lines, huge windows, and wide light bar made it look like an EV. It was, however, still running on combustion engines at the time. Now, Hyundai has closed that gap. The Staria is finally available as a full EV, pairing its futuristic design with zero-emission power. The Staria Electric made its debut at the Brussels Motor Show as Hyundai’s new flagship minivan. It keeps the updated look from

While we patiently wait for the Detroit Auto Show to roll around so we can see what Ford is cooking (is it a new Mustang Cobra or Boss?), Shelby American has taken the liberty of giving us something that could be just as exciting: the 2026 Shelby American Super Snake. A name first introduced in 1966 on a big block Cobra and then the following year in a high-performance Mustang, the Super Snake is Shelby American's longest-running Ford Mustang model, and for the new year, it doesn't mess with a w

It’s unlikely for a company to rehire someone they let go, but Volvo seems to think differently, as they always do. Thomas Ingenlath, the designer responsible for the Volvo XC90 SUV and the beautiful V90 wagon, is coming back as the company’s Chief Design Officer. If you didn’t know, he previously served as Polestar’s CEO, where he was largely responsible for the brand’s independent rise to fame. During his seven-year stint as company executive, the marque saw its fortunes change from being a Vo

Meet Kia's smallest and cheapest EV yet. We say 'yet' because it's called the EV2, suggesting that the South Korean automaker is leaving room for another, smaller vehicle to be introduced somewhere down the line, but we digress. The EV2 is a B-segment, or subcompact, electric crossover, and it'll be available in a choice of five trims when it goes on sale later this year, including a sportily styled GT-Line variant. More importantly than its variety is Kia's claim that the EV2 will deliver best-

Stage 5 action, highlights, and more are below! Bodies and vehicles are being put to the test and the carnage and emotions are real! This tough and technical stage was toughernastier than many expected. Dakar Rally 2026 is on! The worlds longest, toughest, and most infamous off-road race has started and we couldn’t be more excited! Famous racers and teams, well known for their prowess in the sand and on Dakar in general, have already been struggling which is just more proof of how gnarly this r

Perhaps Alfa Romeo and Maserati shouldn't work together. A few weeks ago, the two famed Italian brands joined forces to launch the Bottegafuoriserie project, intended to "combine the core competencies of both brands in the areas of design, development, and manufacturing," including the creation of limited-edition models, and their first such project is this, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 'Luna Rossa,' Italian for 'red moon.' The special edition will be limited to just 10 examples worldwide,

A Passion For Driving There are very few automotive brands that can say they were born out of a passion for driving – Honda is one of them. Throughout its history, it has produced models that are iconic for their outstanding driving performance. Doubling down on that idea, Honda has chosen to showcase its passion once more by displaying multiple models and concepts reflecting its love for driving in various forms. Its most recent stage was the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon (TAS).

For years now, Mazda has set itself apart from mainstream rivals with vehicles that feature more premium designs and upscale interior materials. Mazda’s premium aspirations have also been evident in the brand’s use of vehicle colors. The gorgeous Soul Red Crystal is Mazda’s signature color, but there are several others that bring the brand’s vehicles to life. A new one has just been introduced, that being Navy Blue Mica. Launching on the new generation of the CX-5, it’s yet another beautiful add

Genesis has given the G80 a focused refresh for 2026 in Korea and added a new design-led flagship called G80 Black, aimed at buyers who want an S Class feeling. The updates lean on customer feedback, simplifying options and sharpening the car’s look rather than reinventing the hardware. View the 3 images of th

If you thought Pininfarina's recent reimagining of the original Honda NSX was too old-school, perhaps you'll like what another famous design house has created. Italdesign has taken the covers off its own NSX tribute at the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon, and unlike the Pininfarina version, this isn't a restomod based on the original, first generation of the everyday supercar. Instead, it's a blend of old and new design cues draped over the body of the most recent NSX, and Italdesign, with Honda's blessin

The U.S. Senate wants to know why cars are so expensive, but Ford CEO Jim Farley doesn't want to testify — not yet, anyway. Senator Ted Cruz planned a congressional hearing with the CEOs of the Detroit Big Three (Ford, Chevrolet, and Stellantis) on January 14, but Farley, through legal counsel, first hesitated by citing a scheduling conflict with the Detroit Auto Show, which starts on the same day and was described by Farley as the "Super Bowl week for autos." His letter to Cruz also pointed out

2025 was a year defined by U.S. EV pushback Looking back, 2025 was a year where EVs took a back seat in America, as the Trump Administration systematically dismantled electric vehicle policies and reversed years of progress toward clean transportation. On his first day in office, President Trump paused billions in federal EV charging infrastructure funding and revoked Biden’s target for EVs to comprise half of new vehicle sales by 2030. The administration eliminated the $7,500 tax credit for new

BMW’s iX3 was one of the automotive world’s most significant reveals in 2025, as the electric SUV ushered in a new design language and control interface for future BMWs. The initial reception to the iX3 has been positive, and now we can start getting excited about the coupe version of it, the iX4. Already spied on a transporter truck last year, we now have fresh spy photos of the iX4 hitting the road for the first time, and the new look seems like an improvement over the gas-powered X4.

Mazda Spirit Racing Enters Production With the MX-5 Mazda has officially taken its Spirit Racing performance sub-brand from concept to production, and it has done so with the most fitting platform possible: the Mazda MX-5. As reported last October, the Mazda Spirit Racing Roadster (its JDM name) marks the first mass-produced vehicle to wear the Spirit Racing badge, a division created to transfer Mazda’s motorsport experience directly to road cars. Until now, Spirit Racing projects had largely be
