The end of the world has seemingly arrived for car enthusiasts as the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 emerges on US soil, now packing half as many cylinders and half as many turbochargers as before. In an effort to reduce pollution and save the polar bears, the AMG-flavored C-Class sedan ditches its fire-breathing twin-turbo V8 in favor of a turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain. This might seem like sacrilege against the worshipers of speed, but don't accuse AMG of heresy until you hear what the new C63 can do.

2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance First Drive Review: Can A Four-Cylinder Replace A V8?

We are unabashed fans of the Lexus LC. With its smooth and sonorous 471-horsepower V8 under the hood, concept car come-to-life styling, and luxurious and detailed interior, there's an argument to be made that it's the finest grand touring car on the market here in 2024. Particularly as Lexus fixed it's biggest niggle - the only thing we complained about.

In a new video from our friends over at Throttle House, the pair take an in-depth look at the newest Mercedes-Benz AMG S63. The new rig develops over 1,000 torques and 791 horsepower, which means it presents stiff competition for almost anything that pulls up next to it. In this event, it’s the newest available version of the Audi S8 and BMW’s own electric flagship, the i7 M70.

Most SUVs are also meant to tow stuff, haul things, and traverse off-road paths with ease. Many families across the U.S. purchase SUVs every day for their practicality and ability to carry their families and cargo to the shopping mall, airport, and sometimes even a camping spot. However, it's not every day that anyone cares how quick an SUV is. By "quick," we mean the vehicle's ability to get up to 60 mph from a standstill in a short amount of time.

Ford’s strategic pivot towards SUVs, trucks, and electric vehicles has significantly transformed its product lineup. Where once a vibrant array of passenger cars held court, now stands a world dominated by high-riding vehicles. A recent digital rendering of a potential 2026 Ford Thunderbird has ignited a nostalgic fervor, offering a tantalizing look into a potential resurgence of the iconic coupe.

If you own one of the following Ford or Lincoln vehicles with an outstanding safety recall for potentially faulty Takata-sourced airbag inflators, which could explode and send shrapnel throughout the interior, Ford has an advisory for you: Do not drive your car. Park it, immediately, then work on getting it repaired. The automaker issued a do-not-drive advisory to compel owners who've yet to bring their affected cars in for repairs to do so, taking the dramatic step as a way of showing those owners how serious it is.

Ever since Ford CEO Jim Farley said that the automaker could do “other Mustang body forms,” besides the traditional two-door coupe and convertible models, there has been talk of a four-door Mustang coming at some point in the future. If a new rumor being widely reported is to be believed, we might be closer to that future than first thought.

From the July/August issue of Car and Driver. Toyota summoned the spirit of the 1960–83 FJ40-series Land Cruiser and channeled it into the 2007–14 FJ Cruiser. The SUV is underpinned by an altered version of the contemporary 4Runner’s frame and sits on a wheelbase 3.9 inches shorter than its mid-size sibling’s. Approach and departure angles of up to 34.0 and 31.0 degrees better those of the 4Runner and Land Cruiser of the era. A stubby 183.9-inch-long body and up to 9.6 inches of ground clearance make the FJ a nimble and sure-footed companion on unbeaten paths.

It's not a big surprise that the manual-transmission SUV is next up on the chopping block for vehicles sending the manual the way of the dodo. The appeal of the manual gearbox largely has to do with driver engagement. The appeal of the sports utility vehicle is mostly down to convenience in the modern automotive landscape. These two qualities are, if not incompatible, at least difficult to counterbalance. Then you add cost concerns into the mix, and it's easy to see why SUV makers would rather avoid spending millions developing a new stick shift and passing the expenses on to the buyer in a segment that frequently competes on price alone.

The Toyota Land Cruiser nameplate dates back to the Korean War in the early '50s, when Japan needed to develop a light truck for military use. Back then, it took inspiration from the military-spec Jeeps that friendly forces from the US were using in Japan at the time. It was a tough, hardy, and dependable truck even seventy-odd years ago.

GM recently dropped the details on the new 2025 C8 ZR1. As an engineer who has worked in both OEM development and aftermarket performance, I’m nothing short of impressed. I spent the last quarter-century bouncing between walking the aisles of the Performance Racing Industry show and releasing engine calibrations that have been driven by millions of unsuspecting users around the world. I have seen lots of 1,000-hp engines. I have had lots of engines go to production after passing emissions, durability, NVH, and safety standards. I haven’t seen very many that did both. Sure, there’s the Bugatti ($3 million and 1,200 hp), the Aston Martin Valkyrie ($3 million and 1,000 hp), and the Ferrari SF90 ($540,000 and 986 hp, combined), but all of these are about as available as unicorn tears to mere mortals. Engines like the Hellephant make over 1,000 hp but have zero chance of passing emissions, so they’ll never be offered in legal roadgoing cars. What we have in the ZR1 is a real accomplishment, and a point where my two worlds seem to have collided.

AC Cars, known to automotive enthusiasts as the British automaker that spawned the vehicle that would later become the all-conquering Shelby Cobra in the United States, has unveiled renderings and specifications of something that's quite interesting. The AC Cobra GT Coupe, as its name implies, boasts a hardtop. But unlike the famous Cobra Daytona Coupe, this one looks a whole lot like the bug-eye Roadster.
