Clash of The Affordable EVs: Tesla Model 3 vs. Chevy Bolt RS

The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is stunningly easy to drive fast, a true cheat code for both road and racetrack. At 4,386 pounds, it outweighs the Mustang Dark Horse and Porsche 911 GT3 RS, yet feels planted, stable, and shockingly quick from behind the wheel. With 815 horsepower, 664 lb-ft of torque, custom Michelin Pilot Cup 2 R tires, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, the GTD delivers relentless grip, massive stopping power, and confidence through every corner. It matches the GT3 RS on high-speed downforce turns and outperforms it in tight, low-speed corners thanks to its wide tires and advanced rear suspension. On the street, the GTD remains forgiving and composed, with adjustable suspension and active aerodynamics that make it livable. Inside, though, the $325,000 Mustang shows its weak spot — an interior closer to a $40,000 car. Still, Ford has already received far more applications than available build slots for this limited-production machine.

2025 Ford Mustang GTD First Drive: Big GTD Energy

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.

The 911 is Porsche’s heart and soul; the GT2 RS is the ultimate 911. Is that enough to win the title of Best Driver’s Car in a field of supercars whose layout doesn’t hark from the early 1960s?

Best Driver’s Car Contender: 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

For the past two decades, the Porsche Cayman has been regarded as one of the best performing 'entry-level' sports cars on the planet. Challengers have come and gone, but the Cayman has remained consistent, and consistently impressive. The latest threat to the Cayman throne is the new 2023 BMW M2. We wanted to get to the bottom of which super sports car offered the better driving experience, so we pitted these two coupes against each other in a head-to-head matchup.

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.

This is the most important Audi in two decades—and we drove it. The Audi Concept C is a folding-hardtop electric roadster that marks the beginning of a new era for the brand. Spearheaded by design chief Massimo Frascella and fast-tracked by CEO Gernot Döllner, this drivable concept introduces Audi’s Radical Simplicity design language and a new “shy” interior that ditches plastic for tactile luxury and brings back the brand’s iconic precision “click.” With more than 500 horsepower, an 800-volt architecture, and rear-wheel drive, the Concept C feels every bit the spiritual successor to the R8—and a hint at the future Boxster EV from Porsche. It’s quick, beautifully balanced, and built to redefine how an electric sports car should look and drive.
