There is no question that the Super Duke is KTM’s flagship sportbike, and it just so happens to be a naked. For years, the 1290 Super Duke has been an overachiever. And while no one ever accused the bike of being soft, for 2024, KTM decided to put more chips into the pile, or in this case more cc’s of displacement, more power and more of what has made this bike so potent. Meet the 1390 Super Duke R Evo.

Well before the NSX, Honda had a beautiful wedge-shaped concept called the HP-X—the brand's first modern concept car. Designed by Pininfarina, the HP-X debuted at the 1984 Turin Motor Show and previewed a radical, ultra-aerodynamic sports car. The HP-X had a 2.0-liter V-6 engine derived from Honda's Formula 2...

The 911 Safari is, for many, an exclusive and over-the-top approach to the ultimate 911 that's not limited by any terrain. However, for those seeking the pinnacle of exclusivity and bespoke 911s, a select few boutique Porsche modifiers take the ethos and perfection of the 911 and elevate it to extraordinary levels. Among these revered brands, names like Singer and Ruf have long held the throne. But now, a new contender has emerged, breathing life into a legendary name in the tuning scene: Gemballa.

The mid-2000s saw the launch of new SUV that offered three-rows of seating, off-road capability, and V8 engine options. The Jeep Commander was the automakers answer to popular competitors like the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, and Toyota Highlander. One version of Commander even featured a 5.7L Hemi V8, making it one of the most powerful Jeep models ever built. This SUV was built using the Grand Cherokee as a foundation, which was a strong starting point. However, this seven-seat SUV struggled to attract buyers, and its strongest sales year of 2006 only saw 88,497 units sold in the U.S., per GoodCarBadCar.com. The Jeep Commander, which seemed like a slam dunk on paper, was only produced from 2005 until being discontinued in 2010.

The manual transmission may be dying, but the 7-speed manual transmission is all but dead. This peculiar transmission type first popped up in 2012 with the introduction of the 991 generation of the Porsche 911. In that instance, Porsche and transmission supplier ZF engineered the manual and PDK to share many of the same components to help fuel economy and make parts more common along the range. Today, only one vehicle still uses a 7-speed manual in the US, and instead of speed and fuel efficiency, it's built for improved off-road prowess.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

As you hoped, the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is an absolute unit of a sports car. The eighth-generation Corvette has brought a lot of new to Chevy’s flagship sports car. It’s the first mid-engined Corvette, even the “base model” Stingray boasts a sub-3-second 0-60 time, and with even the Z06 costing less than half your typical supercar, the C8 has been charging from strength to strength over the past four years. Now, though, the daddy of all Corvettes has arrived: the all-new, turbocharged ZR1.

2025 Toyota GR Corolla with 8-Speed Automatic Sticks It to the Man

Don’t worry, you can still order the Toyota GR Corolla with a manual transmission. We’d argue you should, though the GR Corolla’s new 8-speed Gazoo Racing Direct Automatic Transmission (DAT) — while it might subtract some driver engagement — adds a lot of appeal to a broader market. It’s part of a larger batch of changes for the 2025 model year, but the new transmission should help keep the super-fun hot hatch on sale for many years to come.
