Performance has been a huge part of Acura’s mantra in recent years, and lately it has been Type S-ing all its things in a drive to further amp up its product line. Also, like virtually every other automaker on earth, it’s racing to electrify its lineup. No shock then that the new Acura SUV concept that will be making its world debut at next week’s Pebble Beach / Monterey Car Week extravaganza will be 1) an EV and 2) “segment defying” and “dynamically styled.”

The Coming New Acura EV SUV Will Defy Segments, Dynamically

The luxury crossover space is a heated one full of options, and in that segment, the redesigned 2024 Lincoln Nautilus has thus far earned rave reviews for both its style and technology. Back in April, Honda’s luxurious division Acura revealed the refreshed 2025 MDX, which competes directly with the larger Lincoln Aviator, and now, it has followed that up with a refreshed Nautilus rival – the 2025 Acura RDX.

The Type S certainly packs a punch, wringing 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque out of a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. You can have any transmission you like as a long as it's a six-speed manual. Speed rarely comes cheap, and this test car started at $50,800. An optional carbon-fiber...

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer debuted back in early February bearing a number of changes including slight exterior styling tweaks, along with a host of interior revisions and the addition of the brand new Ford Digital Experience software. However, along with a pared-down trim level lineup that saw the deletion of the King Ranch trim, the 2025 Ford Explorer was also curiously missing any sort of hybrid powertrain option. Now, we know why that’s the case.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Who knew the first high-volume EV from Ram and Stellantis would be a delivery van? We certainly didn’t—the Ram Rev comes to mind—but Ram expects the Class 2 commercial van segment to grow until 2026, where it will stabilize though the end of the decade. The 2024 ProMaster EV is Ram’s electric entry into the segment, and with two electric models planned, it hopes to capture as much of that business as it can.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home.

All 2025 Odyssey models still use the same 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 with 280 hp. Prices now start at $41,920 in the U.S. Minivans aren’t typically the type of vehicles that evoke raging enthusiasm among consumers. However, they remain an essential part of the U.S. market, and the esteemed Honda Odyssey has just been updated for 2025. The updates are relatively small, and prices have also been jacked up, although not considerably.

Carroll Shelby’s iconic 1965 Cobra is a hot rod with two identities—in one breath, its two doors, lack of a roof, short wheelbase, and nimble characteristics make it a sports car. However, with a high-performance pushrod engine that could range from 289 to 427 cubic inches under its hood, the Cobra deserves consideration in the muscle-car category, too.

In 2024, electrified power will enter almost every industry segment and is undoubtedly here to stay, even if some manufacturers are scaling back their future plans. A large reason for this is the barriers that stop buyers from making the switch to full electricity, but hybrid vehicles have and are sure to continue to bridge the gap between ICE-only and electric vehicles.
