First #testdrive of 2025! Wrapping up a week with the @jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. This one’s fitted with a 5.4L V8, putting out 470hp. This is “jet engine on a boxcar” territory. The jacked-up Rubi is aggressive as possible, with an
What a year. Not gonna lie, 2023 was a rough one, with more ups and downs than Six Flags. This year? Genuinely fantastic. I’ve been so traumatized in the past, I’m scared to even say that out loud, but I can’t deny it. Got a great g
Toyota went and put an automatic transmission in the GR Corolla. Fix your face, it’s great. Built from the start for performance, the new gearbox is better and faster at shifting than us filthy casuals. Might actually be faster than the pros, t
Lately, I’ve been making up for a year light on track time with some of the most enjoyable vehicles to drive around a circuit. Last week I flew out to enjoy the undulating awesomeness of Sonoma Raceway in the new Subaru WRX tS. It’s basic
Driving restomod Mustangs is becoming a thing, and I’m not mad at it. Don’t dare call this a “resto” within earshot of Revology’s founder Tom Scarpello, though. He’s put too much care and craft into his reproductio
Sometimes the opportunity to take a road trip falls in your lap, and when it happened to me, I decided to see if I could use Ford Blue Cruise for most of it. I’ve had mini demos of it, none more than an hour, and never for hundreds of miles. Ro
This was a fun one. You’re looking at a ‘67 Ford Mustang restomod from @velocityrestorations. It’s saddled with a 460hp coyote 5.0-liter V8 along with loads of modern custom hardware and a couple modern amenities. Good gracious, I t
Popping over to visit my pals at @caridcom with a drive of this, the Lamborghini Revuelto, the automaker’s brand-new V12-powered flagship. The 1,001 hp supercar’s got everyone worked up over the fact that it’s a hybrid, but none of
The Air Sapphire may be Lucid’s mind-bending luxury performance cheat code - 1,234hp and you pay a pretty penny for each one of those horses - but the Air Pure is also nice. It’s a more grounded luxury EV experience that’s still fun
Project Midnight and the Huckster isn’t a buddy cop movie you forgot about, they’re the two cars @subaru_usa brought to Goodwood this year for its attempt to win the festival’s shootout. They’re an unlikely duo, but both uniqu
Here it is: my first Top Gear feature! It’s a wild one, too: comparing the @audiusa RS6 Avant GT directly to the 90 IMSA GTO that inspired it. Absurd? Totally. FUN? You betcha. 📸: @audi (specifically Tobias Sagmeister who is a goddamn rockstar
If you read one Audi RS6 Avant GT review today, make it this one… cuz it’s the one I wrote. 621hp sport wagon with a hard look and a harder suspension. Check it out at Top Gear but don’t wander off too far, this is just the start o
