Ram is goin’ NASCAR racin’ for the first time in more than a decade. It’s leaning into the Hemi V8’s revival by committing to the Craftsman Truck Series in 2026, which Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis confirmed is its immediate focus. However, he says “the company” has intentions to enter the Cup Series later on. Huh?

Japan has everything to offer. Cultural heritage, Michelin-starred cuisine, the latest tech, breathtaking scenery—you name it. But for obsessed car nerds like us? It’s the automotive scene that sits at the very top of that list. Sure, seeing a couple of R32 GTRs at my local San Diego Cars and Coffee is still exciting. But

It might hurt you to hear this, but the Fox Body Ford Mustang is a classic now. Enough time has passed for Ford to commemorate it on the current-gen S650 Mustang with a configurable Fox Body-themed digital gauge layout, and now, there’s something new. It’s called the FX Package, and Ford is making a direct

I’ve gained a lot of respect for (and interest in) the power of 3D printing custom car parts after chatting with a 3D designer. Today, another really cool perspective on this style of manufacturing came across my desk—a video documenting the engineering of, as well as the fine-tuning of, custom turbo plumbing with parts that

“What’s wild this year is that we expect 159 [car] models to be launched over the next four years,” Bank of America senior auto analyst John Murphy said this week at an event in Detroit. “Last year, it was over 200. Traditionally, it’s over 200,” (over a four-year span). If automotive product news has seemed

Every few months, it seems like somebody comes along and tries to put an exhaust system on an electric vehicle. Dodge’s physical sound generator is perhaps the most novel attempt at something we’d consider a traditional “exhaust,” but GM just patented something that is long on function and short on form. It’s an emergency exhaust

Rivian has just patented a very cool and practical pickup truck accessory idea for the R1T. You know how tonneau covers are basically retractable awnings that pull out to cover a truck bed? Well, if such a cover had compatible mounting points on the roof as well as the bed, it could do double duty

Thirty years ago, the sorts of cars that won Le Mans and the ones you could legally drive through Mulsanne after the race could be more or less the same. Today’s “Le Mans Hypercars” bear a faint link, if any at all, to a product someone could actually buy. But Porsche has dreamt big for

The first, third, and fifth-generation 4Runners are among my all-time favorite vehicles. They have a few key elements in common: Mechanical simplicity, clean and enduring designs, and trick roll-down rear hatch windows. The new sixth-generation 2025 Toyota 4Runner has one of those things. Today’s redesigned T4R is certainly not bad. I enjoyed the heck out

The electric 2026 Volvo EX60 will be the Swedish automaker’s first model to feature its new “multi-adaptive safety belts.” This new-gen seat belt is designed to more effectively protect you in an accident with a rapid download of impending-crash data from external and internal sensors, optimizing for everything from impact speed to your posture while
