Electric automotive technology isn't necessarily a new thing, but it has become substantially more popular in recent years as brands push to lower their overall carbon footprint. A conventional electric car design possesses far fewer moving parts , making the overall drivetrain a lot more efficient when compared to your average ICE design. Couple this with the fact that you don't need any fossil fuels to power an EV, and you'll find that this newer technology is a lot more of a logical choice for new automotive designs. Of course, this puts the debate of which configuration is more enjoyable to the side, as EVs generally have a reputation for being dull and soulless.

Isn’t it just! Although, we hate to be pedantic (we don’t really, pedantry is very satisfying), but this isn’t actually a Hummer. That was the brand name used for civilian versions of AM General’s High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) and was eventually sold to General Motors in the late 1990s.

As the automotive world edges closer to an all-electric future, some brands are making the most of their high-performance internal combustion engines before they bid them farewell. The 2025 Audi RS3 and Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing are prime examples of this, both featuring a unique combination of performance features that almost put them in a league of their own. Turbocharging unites them, but from there, they're wildly different: five-cylinder to V6, AWD to RWD, manual to DCT.
