The super sedan isn't dead yet, far from it, in fact. It seems there are still drivers who prefer their sports cars with four doors. Another thing that just won't end is the horsepower war that continues to wage on, year after year. With EV manufacturers leaning towards sedan platforms, there has been a resurgence in sports sedans popularity. The EV market has cooled off more than most expected, with many reverting to hybrid tech. Because of that, we still luckily have a decent variety of sporty gas-powered sedans at our fingertips.

The first-ever AMG Maybach has finally been spotted in the wild, with CarBuzz spies catching a glimpse of a forthcoming version of the Mercedes-AMG SL-Class that will be given the Maybach treatment. The anomalous detail here is that the German automaker has always kept these two sub-brands separate, with AMG focusing on performance and Maybach on supreme luxury. Back in 2014, the then-director of development for the S-Class confirmed that "the badges would remain separate." But with the new SL-Class being an AMG product from the ground up, it seems that ideology has been tossed out completely.

The First-Ever Mercedes-AMG Maybach Is Finally Happening

The 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon is the first all-new Bugatti since the Chiron. It’s a big deal, and for the first time, the Tourbillon takes the brand hybrid. This latest model features a hybrid V16 powertrain, eschewing both the automaker’s preferences for both W16 engines and pure combustion output. But the news of a hybrid system almost pales in comparison to some of the headlining figures: this V16 engine will produce 1,800 horsepower, displace 8.3 liters, and rev to 9,000 rpm — all to say nothing of the monster 664 lb-ft of torque driving all four wheels.

Porsche production manager Albrecht Reimold tells Automobilewoche that the 718 lineup, comprised of the Boxster and Cayman, will end production in 2025. Porsche has already been forced to retire the 718 twins in Europe due to more stringent cybersecurity regulations (and the Macan along with it). More stringent emissions requirements across the pond would have done the pair in at some point as it is. The 718’s electric replacement is underway, and while Reimold didn’t share further details on the upcoming models, it’s hard to imagine Porsche will leave much of a gap between the end of 718 production and the next model’s introduction.

Which element’s go into designing the world’s most expensive cars? Just ask 36 year-old wunderkind Mate Rimac. When he built his first electric race car at age 19, the Croatian did not expect it to lead to his becoming CEO of pinnacle boutique automotive manufacturer Bugatti. But this is where he ended up as just 36, introducing the world to the famed Italian/German/French automaker’s latest seven-figure ultra-hypercar, the $4 million, 1,800 horsepower (hp), Tourbillon. It is now among the world's most expensive cars.

Though the Ford Pinto was once an incredibly popular entity among car shoppers, it also became one of the more notorious automotive models in history thanks to a number of rear-end accidents that led to fires, a massive recall, and new federal safety standards that eventually fixed that particular problem. Though it has long been the butt (no pun intended) of quite a few jokes as a result, the Ford Pinto has since seen a bit of a resurgence at various collection car auctions, and now, we have another interesting example to bid on.

The Volkswagen Atlas is popular in North America, with 19,293 examples sold in Q2 2024 alone. That excludes the Atlas Cross, of which VW shifted 9,769 units.
