At the moment, things aren't going very well at Ford of Europe, based in Cologne, Germany as it is experiencing a change in management, an insidious loss of power in relation to the parent company in Detroit and a falling market share. Now it's up to the historic name to turn things around. Perhaps THE most famous name in Ford's European history, the Ford Capri is back.

Ford only made 4,038 first-generation Ford GTs over two brief model years. However, it was long enough to cement the blue-badged American supercar as something truly special in enthusiasts’s minds. With such a low production number, it’s sad to see that not every example has had the best existence after leaving the factory. The VINWiki YouTube channel has unearthed an abandoned GT left to rot in a garage for 15 years that’ll require as much disinfectant as soap to get clean. But it’s not all bad news.

While we did get a follow-up with the Chevrolet SS, which continued with the Commodore base, at least until Holden was shut down, too, it seems Pontiac had bigger ideas for the big sedan. GM Design once again has shone a light on a never-before-seen concept car from the automaker's archives. It's a Pontiac G8 concept from nearly the final days of the brand.

Chevrolet is now committed to debuting the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 on July 25, 2024. The wait has been brutal for the Corvette faithful as the ZR1 is the car that dreams are made of.
