Let's cosplay as a wealthy car buyer and find out.
Chevy's 1,064-HP ZR1 Nearly Had A Huge Change
The 2025 Corvette ZR-1 was preceded by a supercharged C8 development mule. Chevy's decision to turbocharge over supercharge was influenced by aerodynamics, efficiency, and power goals. A C7 ZR1 engine was hot-rodded to 850 horsepower but only for the purposes of tire and suspension development. The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1...

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Brings A 1,064-HP Nuke To A Knife Fight
Say hello to the most powerful Corvette ever: the 2025 Corvette ZR1. As predicted, the ZR1 arrives as either coupe or convertible with the LT6 5.5-liter naturally aspirated flat-plane crank V8 that powers the Corvette Z06 and two 76mm turbochargers that sound as big on paper as they do in video, but electronic wastegates and other trickery help reduce lag - more on that later. This new twin-turbo plant is dubbed LT7 and produces a dizzying 1,064 hp at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm.
The Death Of The Jaguar F-Type Is The End Of An Era In More Ways Than One
For the first two-thirds of my life, Jaguar didn't have a proper sports car. The E-Type was gone for decades by the time I was born and the XK was always more of a grand tourer. Everything changed in 2013 when the Jaguar F-Type made its debut. A sports car nearly 40 years in the making, the F-Type transformed the modern Jaguar brand and epitomized the British sports car for the next decade. The F-Type launched Jaguar to a level of coolness it hadn't achieved since before man landed on the moon.
2025 Mini Countryman First Drive Review: Expanding The Car To Expand The Brand
The 2025 Mini Countryman is the largest Mini ever produced by the British brand. Why? Mini says it was losing customers to other automakers as their families outgrew the brand, so it increased the Countryman's size to compensate. Is this a brilliant move that will bring in new customers, or a step too far that strays away from Mini's original ethos? Having already driven the John Cooper Works and electric SE models, CarBuzz had a chance to drive the Countryman S at Mini Takes the States, an owner-centric event that crosses several US states on a road trip.

10,000-RPM Porsche Restomod Costs 3 Times As Much As A GT3 RS

Only One Mercedes Restomod Has The AMG Stamp Of Approval
Typically, when a company like Mercedes sends out a press release about a management reshuffle, it doesn't cause much of a stir, and when that press release is about the Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing division, it's even less consequential to real-world cars. But this time is different. This time, the news includes Mercedes-AMG taking a moment to give its approval to HWA AG for its remarkable work creating the 190E-based Evo restomod that was recently fully unveiled.

Hundreds Of Thousands Of BMW X3s Have A Dangerous Flaw
It hasn't been a great few weeks for BMW. After recalling nearly 400,000 3 Series models for airbag-related issues, the German marque had to recall a further 1,145 cars for the same problem.

A Front-Engined Hybrid AWD McLaren? It's More Likely Than You Think
For a long time, McLaren has been pondering a new sort of vehicle with a philosophy of "shared performance," which is the British automaker's way of saying that it's working on a car that can seat more than two people. The company still has yet to commit to a body style, but if a new patent discovered by CarBuzz at the World Intellectual Property Office is any indication, we can at least tell you something about its drivetrain: it'll feed all four wheels.
