We love sharing videos from Goodwood, because whether it is action from the Festival of Speed, Member’s Meet, or the Goodwood Revival, you know it is going to be good. There are so many awesome rides that you’ll see racing at their events, and of course every year there are different classes and cars that are featured at their events, but they also have so much historical footage that you wouldn’t believe. That historic footage, and an insane number of events, means that they have some cool stuf

The average transaction price of new cars in America has been hovering around the $50,000 mark for a few months now, with lower-priced vehicles (under $30,000) accounting for a measly 7.5% of total sales in November. High-priced models continue to thrive, and when looking at the average prices per brand last month, Cadillac jumps out more than any other. The average transaction price for a Caddy is now a lot higher than for BMW, Audi, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz. In fact, such is Cadillac’s resurge

Nearly half of American car buyers think Chinese electric vehicles offer strong value. Two in five even want them in the US. But thanks to tariffs north of 100%, they remain completely out of reach. The average new car in the US now costs close to $50,000, and for buyers who want an electric vehicle, the options thin out fast at the affordable end. That frustration is quietly pushing a surprising number of Americans toward a category of cars they have never been able to buy. A Cox Automotive sur

Spring has sprung, and several Mercedes-AMG pre-production prototypes have arrived at the Nürburgring to take advantage of the weather, one of the first of which is the electric version of the E-Class. It's unclear what this will be called; Mercedes-AMG E-Class with EQ Technology? Mercedes-AMG E 63 EQ? Whatever Affalterbach decides to call it, our spies say to expect between 800 and 900 horsepower from the 5 Series fighter, far more than today's BMW i5 M60, which tops out at 593 hp. Since the Me

Amplifier wiring kits have been around for decades and decades, but with HUGE variations in pricing there have been a lot of cheap brands out there with components that just aren’t very good. And with power and ground wires, there is a little more to it than just the size. Size DOES MATTER when it comes to power and ground wire, but so does the material itself. Copper is clearly the best conductor, but with Copper Coated Aluminum and Tinned Copper options, it isn’t just as simple as looking for

A long-running lawsuit over allegedly defective air conditioning systems in GM full-size pickups and SUVs is now in its eighth year, and it still hasn’t been certified as a class action. The multidistrict case, In re: General Motors Air Conditioning Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation (No. 18-md-02818), is pending in federal court in Michigan and centers on claims that a shared A/C design in 2014–2017 trucks and SUVs was defective from day one.

Godzilla, Reimagined Nissan had a very limited, special edition of the R35 GT-R called the GT-R50, but it faced production woes due to factors like the pandemic. Out of the 50 planned units, only 18 were reportedly hand-built. Through FRAME, we get a look at how the team in Italy created these futuristic-looking GT-Rs a few years back. The GT-R50 was a collaboration between Nissan and Italdesign, an Italian coachbuilder founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro, who designed iconic models like the one-off F

The best part about the last few days of the year, and the first few days of the new year, are all the best of videos, photo galleries, and more. We’ve got several coming to you over the next few days, and here is one of them. These are the Wildest Rides of the 2025 NHRA Drag Racing season and we know you’ll dig them. We’re talking slow motion action and more, with some insane smoke and fire. We’re talking explosions, sand trap rides, walls, and more right here in this dramatic year end video.

Google has announced a big makeover for Android Auto that will benefit more than 250 million cars compatible with the smartphone-mirroring app. The next generation of Android Auto brings a host of improvements, including a new visual and usability experience, premium entertainment, and better integration with the Gemini AI virtual assistant. Designed to Fit on Every Screen with Edge-to-Edge Google Maps The 2026 Android Auto refresh is immediately obvious from a graphics standpoint as Google says

BMW of North America has announced a recall of 87,394 vehicles due to a fire risk from an engine starter that could overheat. Submitted on January 30, 2026, this newest recall follows several months of analysis into the starters equipped to a range of BMW products. The issue came to light in September last year, when almost 200,000 models were initially recalled for a starter that could be a fire risk, even when the vehicle is parked. Since then, more tests have been conducted as BMW and its sup

Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker Ford has plans for an affordable EV and is developing a new hypercar. But while it's working on exciting new products, it also has work to do on its existing vehicles, as highlighted by a new recall filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Blue Oval has had several major recalls of late, and its latest shows that even the simplest parts of a vehicle can cause trouble, with the new recall affecting the windshield wiper arms of both SUVs

Jared George traded in his Mercedes-AMG GT for a used but barely-driven 2024 Corvette Z06 with just over 3,000 miles on the clock. Less than a week later, he took it to a Texas dealership for its first oil change. He drove home, noticed an oil drip on his garage floor, and brought it straight back. While the staff was trying to place the car on a lift to diagnose the leak, it slipped. Photos shared to a Corvette owner's Facebook group show the Arctic White Z06 tilted at a steep angle on a two-po

The Corvette Grand Sport Is Next in Line The Chevrolet Corvette C8 family is about to get a new addition, and all signs point to the return of the Grand Sport badge. One of the latest clues comes from a Mid Engine Corvette Forum member who spotted a black, manufacturer-plated C8 test mule rolling through Michigan. The car’s stance sits right between a Stingray and a Z06 – noticeably wider than the base model, but not quite as aggressive as the full track-ready version. If the guesses are right,

We’ve talked about cheap cars that sell at Mecum, Barrett-Jackson, RM and other big name auctions a few times in the recent past and I can tell you that while they are few and far between at some of them, there are quite a few overall throughout the year. At their 2026 Indy Auction, Mecum had a few that came across the block and are being highlighted in the video belo. Check them out below and let us know what you think.

Targeting the EV Carbon Problem Head-On Since electric vehicles became more widespread at the start of the decade, so has the debate over whether EVs are actually more environmentally friendly. Some argue that EV production generates so much carbon upfront that, over time, their overall carbon footprint may end up being no better than that of internal combustion engine vehicles. At Mercedes-Benz, however, the German marque is drawing a clear distinction with the new electric GLC, which, based on

For decades, Hyundai Motor Group has leveraged its industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty as one of its primary selling points. To most people shopping for a new car, this warranty signals bulletproof reliability. However, The Car Care Nut Reviews takes a closer look at the actual mechanical engineering beneath the hood—such as the layout found in the 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid— and it reveals a contrasting narrative. Instead of timeless durability, modern Kias and Hyundais appe

A Wagon Revival on the Horizon? Station wagons, once the vehicle of choice for American families, have been largely replaced by SUVs. The NHTSA has previously speculated that increasingly-stricter passenger car fuel efficiency regulations have driven manufacturers to replace station wagons in their lineups with SUVs and crossovers, which are classified as light trucks and subject to more lenient standards. Doubling down on this theory, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, in a recent interview

I’m old enough to remember when Monster Trucks just ran over parked cars, and didn’t fly through the air. Hell, back then nobody would have ever imagined they would be doing backflips and stuff with them. But there were some unique and weird ones back in the day, that’s for sure. In the last 20 years there have been some REALLY strange monster trucks out there so check out the video below and see what you think. Video Description: I looked at the weirdest monster trucks that have ever been cre

A controlled Autobahn experiment Arizona lawmakers are considering a proposal that would make parts of the state’s rural interstate system look a little more like Germany’s Autobahn — at least during the daytime. A new bill would allow select highway segments to operate without a posted maximum speed, as long as they meet strict safety and engineering criteria. The idea comes from State Rep. Nick Kupper, who argues that speed limits are often designed around the least capable drivers, not the sa

The BMW 7 Series has long been one of the most revered luxury sedans on the road, competing with cars like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and even its more expensive, more opulent brother, the Rolls-Royce Ghost. The people riding in the back of these cars are often high-profile executives, government officials, or VIPs who require their own security personnel. That’s where armored vehicle specialists like INKAS come in, transforming already luxurious sedans into discreet security vehicles that look i

As EV Demand Softens, Wells Bets Bigger on Throwback Sports Car While several mainstream automakers recalibrate electric vehicle production amid cooling demand, small British manufacturer Wells Motor Cars is heading in the opposite direction. The Warwickshire-based startup has confirmed to Autocar that it will ramp up production of its featherweight Vertige sports coupe to 12 cars in 2026, before doubling output to 24 units in 2027. For a hand-built, niche performance car, that represents a mean
