Why Toyota's New Turbocharged Engine Is The Future Of The GR86

The GR86 has been a joint effort with Subaru for years, but reports allege the beloved Subaru-Toyota sports car experiment may finally come to an end.

Iconic Alfa Romeo Nameplate Coming To America
The Alfa Romeo Junior has had a rather tumultuous start to life. Launched as the Milano but produced far away from its namesake, all the way in Poland, Italian officials quickly took issue with the name. That part of the world considers its heritage and culture sacred, so the compact EV is now known as the Junior. Designed for European markets, it now has a small chance of being sold in the United States, reports Automotive News Europe (ANE). First, dealers need to see it in the metal.
Manhart Gives AMG's Ugliest SUV An 800-HP Upgrade

But German tuner Manhart thinks the GLE could do with some more curb appeal, and has introduced a new GER 800 package that dials everything up to 11.

Chevy's 1,064-HP ZR1 Nearly Had A Huge Change
The 2025 Corvette ZR-1 was preceded by a supercharged C8 development mule. Chevy's decision to turbocharge over supercharge was influenced by aerodynamics, efficiency, and power goals.

Say hello to the most powerful Corvette ever: the 2025 Corvette ZR1. As predicted, the ZR1 arrives as either coupe or convertible with the LT6 5.5-liter naturally aspirated flat-plane crank V8 that powers the Corvette Z06 and two 76mm turbochargers that sound as big on paper as they do in video, but electronic wastegates and other trickery help reduce lag - more on that later.

The Death Of The Jaguar F-Type Is The End Of An Era In More Ways Than One
For the first two-thirds of my life, Jaguar didn't have a proper sports car. The E-Type was gone for decades by the time I was born and the XK was always more of a grand tourer. Everything changed in 2013 when the Jaguar F-Type made its debut. A sports car nearly 40 years in the making, the F-Type transformed the modern Jaguar brand and epitomized the British sports car for the next decade. The F-Type launched Jaguar to a level of coolness it hadn't achieved since before man landed on the moon.
2025 Mini Countryman First Drive Review: Expanding The Car To Expand The Brand
The 2025 Mini Countryman is the largest Mini ever produced by the British brand. Why? Mini says it was losing customers to other automakers as their families outgrew the brand, so it increased the Countryman's size to compensate.

Having already driven the John Cooper Works and electric SE models, CarBuzz had a chance to drive the Countryman S at Mini Takes the States, an owner-centric event that crosses several US states on a road trip.

10,000-RPM Porsche Restomod Costs 3 Times As Much As A GT3 RS

Only One Mercedes Restomod Has The AMG Stamp Of Approval
Typically, when a company like Mercedes sends out a press release about a management reshuffle, it doesn't cause much of a stir, and when that press release is about the Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing division, it's even less consequential to real-world cars. But this time is different. This time, the news includes Mercedes-AMG taking a moment to give its approval to HWA AG for its remarkable work creating the 190E-based Evo restomod that was recently fully unveiled.
