The MG Cyberster is arguably the first "affordable" electric sports car since the original Tesla Roadster, starting at $69,000 in the United Kingdom. This car represents a return to form for the MG brand as well as proof that EVs can be exciting. At the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, MG is ready to take the Cyberster one step further with a new concept vehicle called the Cyber GTS. Jozef Kaban, Vice President of MG's Global Design Center, revealed the concept to the Duke of Richmond at Goodwood; sentences don't get much more British than that.

MG Cyber GTS Concept Shows Electric Sports Cars Keep Getting Cooler

When it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), potential range degradation over time and use has haunted owners for what seems like an eternity. However, as battery technology improves, and so does EV longevity, these fears can slowly be phased out. For instance, the YouTube channel AutoTrader has been documenting a Tesla Model S from 2016 with over 430,000 miles on the clock from to its eight years of service as an airport taxi. Surprisingly, the car has been able to pull this off without requiring a battery or motor replacement of any kind.

The manual gearbox isn't the most popular transmission in the United States. Only a select few prefer a sick shift, with mainstream consumer interest having largely shifted to automatic and CVT units. On top of the convenience of the automatic or CVT, manuals aren't a cheaper option anymore. Back in the day, the manual transmission was standard kit on many cars, with the automatic options having an up-charge, but that's no longer the case. And since automatics are generally more frugal, more buyers are opting for those - and thus, also more manufacturers.

The Ford Mustang and Mercury Capri ASC McLaren models are some of the more unique examples of those cars to surface over the years, as well as some of the rarest, to boot. ASC McLaren teamed up with FoMoCo on multiple occasions, churning out some interesting vehicles such as these, which were produced in very small quantities, so we don’t see a ton of them surface for sale on a regular basis. However, this 1986 Mercury Capri ASC McLaren convertible is up for grabs right now.

Which is the best, the 2025 Forester vs. the 2025 Outback?. The Subaru Forester is Subaru of America's best-selling all-wheel-drive vehicle, but is it the best? Now that the remodeled Forester is available for customers, how does the next-generation 2025 Forester compact SUV, with its unique features and improvements, compare with the 2025 Subaru Outback midsize SUV?

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.

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:

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. Add them together, and the lineup is the automaker's most popular model by far. However, Volkswagen is hard at work keeping the Atlas fresh, with a new model right around the corner.

For many years, V-6 engines were the basic option that nobody really wanted when a V-8 upgrade was available. Van and truck fleets loved them because they were cheaper to buy and cheaper to run with their superior fuel economy. When it came to sports cars, however, people coveted the V-8 models at the top of the range, not the slower entry-level models. They still sold well because not everyone could afford the top-end, most powerful models. Some would settle for the same sporty look as the cars they wanted but without the performance to match.

The electric Porsche Macan lineup expands for 2025. Base model Porsche Macan EVs are now rear-wheel drive, and a Macan 4S trim arrives as well.

What we have to talk about right now honestly makes me beyond angry. How could I not be?. But to read about how someone threw up a wire booby trap along a dirt bike and ATV trail, at a perfect height so as to tear your head clean off, it just boils my blood at the callousness that someone has for another person's life.
