Don’t ruin a good thing. That’s how the saying goes. And for the last 45 years, the G-Wagen has been a very good thing. The monolithic box on wheels has evolved through the decades, but it’s always looked roughly the same. For its American audience, it’s always had a big, powerful internal-combustion engine.
For about as long as the Porsche 911 has been water-cooled, it’s been the benchmark for premium, high-performance sports cars. But the tire-smoking, 656-horsepower brute that is the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage is proof that we, collectively, have been stupid.

Porsche confirmed Monday morning that the long-awaited Porsche 911 Hybrid will debut on Tuesday, May 28.

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road and 2024 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X couldn't be more different.

In the end, the choice between them comes down to a handful of areas that still aren't quite decisive.
Volkswagen did something truly unhinged back in 2007 when it built the Golf GTI W12-650. Two months before Austria’s annual Wörthersee gathering of Vee-dub faithful, designers widened a Mk5 GTI and stuffed the W12 engine from a Bentley Continental GT in the trunk.
Ford Raptor models are so popular now that they can seem like everyday trucks. But just because you see more of them running around town than the desert doesn't mean they aren't capable. These rigs first made a name for themselves and continue to build their reputation by tackling the world's toughest off-road races; think Baja in Mexico and Finke in Australia. Soon, a Ford Raptor will take on Dakar with some of the rally world's most accomplished personnel behind the controls.
