The SP40 Restomod Speedster Is A Modern Marvel Wrapped In A History Lesson

Edsel Ford's 1934 Ford Model 40 Special Speedster was the prototype for an American sports car. Now, 92 years later, replica builders from Argentina have reimagined it with a fully modern chassis, powertrain, suspension, and more all while rendering the body in dimensionally accurate carbon-fiber. The result isn't a replica, a restoration, or a restomod, but something completely new with a very old soul.

The Corvette team isn’t slowing down. Just after the insane 1,250-hp ZR1X, Chevy drops TWO more models: the all-new 2027 Corvette Grand Sport and the hybrid Grand Sport X. This marks the return of one of Corvette’s most legendary badges — and the debut of a brand-new performance model. Under the hood? A naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8 pushing 535 horsepower, paired with widebody Z06 hardware and serious track-ready upgrades. And if that’s not enough, the Grand Sport X brings AWD hybrid performance with 721 horsepower and supercar-level acceleration. This is one of the most important Corvette launches in years — and it’s just the beginning. Would you take the naturally aspirated Grand Sport or the hybrid Grand Sport X?

What happens when a British engineering firm turns a Porsche 911 Turbo S into a 920-horsepower hypercar? You get the RML GT Hypercar — a million-dollar, carbon-bodied monster inspired by 1990s Le Mans prototypes and engineered to feel like a factory-built Porsche turned all the way up. In this first test, we drive the wild new RML GTH on both road and track to see whether this ultra-exclusive creation delivers more than just outrageous looks. With active aero, a widened chassis, custom suspension, and a twin-turbo flat-six making 920 hp, the GTH promises GT3 RS handling with Turbo S usability.

Elon Musk released the Cybertruck in December 2023 with an incredible claim: The 845-hp Tesla Cybertruck Beast can tow a Porsche 911 down the drag strip quicker than a 911 alone can make the run. The video was a brilliant stunt to showcase the Cybertruck’s awesome power, but it wasn’t long before people started to question its legitimacy. When Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained figured out that Tesla never ran the quarter mile, we took it on ourselves to find the truth. Borrowing a Cybertruck from Out Of Spec, enlisting the help of Jason, and drawing on MotorTrend's 75 years of automotive testing experience, we staged the race exactly as Tesla presented it, only this time we ran all the way out to 1,320 feet. Can the Tesla Cybertruck really beat a Porsche 911 over the quarter mile? Watch along to find out.

While you may have seen the Model S Plaid and Air Sapphire drag racing before, we guarantee you haven’t seen these two supersedans—all 2284 horses' worth—through a full half-mile. We also performed full instrumented testing on both cars, measuring their 0–60, 0–100, 1/4 mile, and 1/2 mile times. We also took the Tesla and the Lucid to the streets to find out if either of these electron-powered rockets are any good to drive.
