History repeats in the best way for Volkswagen’s icon: the Golf lineup—GTI and R—earns MotorTrend’s 2026 Car of the Year. In refreshed Mk8 form, both models sharpen design and tech while honoring hot-hatch roots. Outside: crisper headlights, reshaped bumpers, illuminated grille bar, and a bolder R with aggressive aero and an available Euro Style package (lighter seats, no sunroof, Akrapovič titanium exhaust). Inside: a cleaner cabin centered on a quicker 12.9-inch infotainment system with conversational voice control powered by ChatGPT. On the road, MQB chassis tuning, stiffer springs, and revised mounts make it more planted and playful. Power comes from a 2.0L turbo: GTI 241 hp/273 lb-ft (FWD), R 328 hp/295 lb-ft (AWD), both with a responsive 7-speed dual-clutch. IQ.Drive driver assists are standard. Efficiency stays strong (up to 27 mpg combined GTI; 25 mpg R), and value impresses (GTI from $33,670; R from $48,325). A daily driver with real thrills—this is the Golf at its best.

We got the numbers, and more! The 1,250-horsepower ZR1X has been through our independent instrumented testing, plus some damp track laps and a drift session. We even dusted the pavement this time. But how quick is it to 60 mph, through the quarter-mile, and around our figure eight course? Is X gon' deliver it to ya? Combining the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 of the rear-drive ZR1 with an enhanced version of the front electric motor from the all-wheel drive E-Ray, the ZR1X promises the ultimate Corvette powertrain, with the Nurburgring lap time to prove it. Watch the video to see the results, because they're not as cut-and-dry as we expected.

This ain’t your uncle’s Cinquecento. While the 500X’s diminutive displacement—1.3 liters—might recall the Fiats of the 1960s, its quasi-SUV body, standard all-wheel drive, and skidplates do not. How does this soft-roader Italian fare at the track?

Brabus, founded on the principal of offering performance upgrades for high-end Mercedes-Benz models, has undergone somewhat of a boom in terms of both scale and ambition. In recent years it's shifted from enthusiasts’ darling to polarizing purveyor of luxury rides, which some see as the 'finished article' and others deem to be a little much. We wanted to dig deeper on this fascinating, opinion-splitting company, so we headed to Bottrop, Germany, to tour the Brabus factory with CEO Constantin Buschmann, before getting to drive a 900 horsepower Brabus 911 Rocket R (formerly a 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S) and the insane, Brabus XLP 900 6X6 Superblack.
