Present meets future at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed where MINI is showcasing the two sides of its John Cooper Works formula. The final iteration of its gasoline-powered hot hatch is shown alongside the first-ever EV. As to why the cars are still camouflaged, that’s because the world premiere is scheduled to take place this fall.

Cars are becoming bigger, more complex, and tech-heavy. Lightweight sports cars are becoming a rarity, and it seems, soon, only kit cars will be able to provide the visceral feel of driving a simple, lightweight sports car. It seems 4,000 pounds isn't even considered heavy nowadays, and most of the...

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.

There's Only One Manual AWD Sports Sedan Left In America

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.

The latest-generation MINI Countryman isn’t available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Instead, the BMW-owned marque finally offers a fully electric version. Actually, there are two flavors you can choose from. Aside from the base E model, there’s also a more potent SE. Featured here, it has dual motors and all-wheel drive, hence the ALL4 suffix in its name.

BMW is displaying all of its latest products at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend. We’ve already looked closely at the M5 and X3 M50, so it makes sense to discover the revamped 1 Series.

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.

A couple of weeks ago, BMW took just about everyone by surprise when a mysterious prototype was caught by car paparazzi. It had a sleek coupe shape with obvious Neue Klasse design cues. Even more intriguing were the wheels because there were no visible brake calipers. That sparked speculation about the potential use of in-wheel hub motors.

PPF – What Is It?. For car enthusiasts who are passionate about maintaining the pristine condition of their vehicle’s paint, PPF is a highly recommended solution. Hardy explains that PPF acts as a barrier, protecting the original paint from various types of damage such as UV rays, road debris, and harsh weather conditions. This protective layer ensures that your vehicle’s paint remains in excellent condition for a longer period. A unique feature of XPEL’s PPF is its self-healing capability, which allows it to repair minor scratches and imperfections on its own. This innovative technology not only extends the life of your vehicle’s paint but also makes it easier to clean and maintain, preserving the car’s aesthetic appeal over time.
