The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

It is extremely difficult to not be charmed by the Ineos Grenadier’s old-school persona at a glance. That’s deeply intentional; When Ineos chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe couldn’t buy the rights to produce the original Defender after Land Rover discontinued the model in 2016, he simply decided to replace it. That explains the Landie-like two-box styling, squared-off wheel arches, and a full-time four-wheel-drive system. It looks like a 1990s Defender 110 with a dash of Cyberpunk 2077 thrown in, and it turns heads.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

If you haven’t read the introduction post already, I’m building a hybrid sports car in my garage. Yes, an entire sports car, top to bottom. It’s intended to be "open-source" when complete, with every part fabricated off-site. That means every component needs a specification, the whole build planned out before any custom hardware is ordered.
