The Lexus NX is due for a redesign following more than half a decade of sales, and while the exact date remains up in the air, we anticipate the next-generation model will break cover within the next year. But we have some hints about what’s to come. Recent trademarks for “NX 250” by Toyota, the parent
We love it when East Coast Defender (E.C.D.) shows off a new creation. That’s because the company’s products are generally over-the-top in exactly the sort of way we like. Our friends at Automobile have written about Project Viper in the past—an extreme off-road build for tropical climates. And also Project Invictus, the ultimate overlander with a roof-top
The original title for this story was “What Is a Rat Rod and Other Common Hot Rod Questions.” However, after about two minutes, I decided the whole rat rod question deserved its own story. As with most of the terminology used throughout the hot rodding hobby, the definition of “rat rod” is not precise, and
Last October, there was online drama about a Tesla Model S being defeated by a Porsche Taycan Turbo S in a drag race. In response, Elon Musk tweeted about increasing peak output in Model S and X Performance by 50 horsepower. Now, roughly five months later, the software update that includes that bump in power—firmware 2020.12.5

For less than the cost of a large cheese pizza that you would have bought at the pizzeria that is now delivery-only, you can subscribe to the MotorTrend app for an entire year, and watch the amazing behind the scenes series NASCAR All-In: Battle for Daytona, and tons of newly launched shows about cars and
We like the Hyundai Kona. In 2019, we named it a finalist for SUV of the Year. Since adding it to our long-term fleet shortly thereafter, we’ve called it “really fun” at the test track, found it an excellent—for its size—moving vehicle, and taken a road trip to the Rockies, where we learned it’s a
In this Throwback Thursday Roadkill clip, David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan have found the world’s only C-Body Road Runner: a bent-up, crescent-shaped …
The Chevrolet Blazer is a talented, well-rounded crossover. The Camaro of SUVs, as we’ve dubbed it, has sporty looks and an aggressive demeanor—especially in sleek RS guise. We recently spent some time in the 2020 Blazer RS and came away impressed with its fresh interior and competence on the road, but we also think there’s
The Trailhawk trim, with its off-road tires and red-painted tow hooks, is the Jeep fan’s jewel of the 2020 Jeep Cherokee lineup. But it isn’t the most popular model—that’d be the mid-level Latitude trim. Now, those (many) who are looking for a Latitude but with a more premium feel have someplace to turn: The 2020 Cherokee
Hennessey announced the Maximus 1000, its Hellcat V-8–powered Jeep Gladiator pickup in May of last year. But after nearly a year of testing—at least some of which took place in the desert—the crazy powerful modified Jeep is finally making its way to perspective owners. Oh, and Hennessey put together a sweet video showing just how extensive
“So, whaddaya think?” Jonny Lieberman asked with his arms folded, head tilted back and to the left, as Jonny does. He had just driven the 992-generation 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S to our photo location on L.A. ‘s favorite twisty bit, Angeles Crest Highway. He lives a few miles from the base of the hill,
The accepted number of 1969 Dodge Daytonas produced in total is 503. No doubt, the 1969 Daytona ranks high on the desirability scale. The sole reason for the car’s existence is due to NASCAR’s homologation process in 1969. If it wanted to race its cars, Chrysler had to produce 500 road-going examples. In civilian trim, there
Sometimes, in between incessant typing and photo editing, some of the editors go back and forth about “this car vs. that car,” and it’s usually based on a couple of past feature cars. So, we got to thinking that it might be fun to see what the fans think by pitting a few of our
If Polestar 1 and Polestar 2, the first vehicles from Volvo’s new Polestar electric-powered performance and sustainable technology brand, have seemed somewhat familiar, that’s understandable. Polestar’s CEO, Thomas Ingenlath, is Volvo’s former design chief, and Polestar design chief Max Missoni is still moonlighting shaping Volvo exteriors. The Polestar Precept concept is designed to move the
The wait is almost over, and the $109,995 2021 Audi RS6 Avant‘s North American arrival is imminent. But what are fans of Audi’s hotted-up wagon to do if the factory-spec RS6’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine’s 591 horsepower just isn’t enough to satiate their need for speed? Well, maybe ABT has the answer. The Germany-based tuning
The 2020 McLaren 765LT is quicker, lighter, and even sexier than the 720S on which it’s based. Oh, and as you’d expect, it’s also more expensive, as we now know from official pricing released by McLaren. The newest “Longtail” (that’s the LT in the name) carries a price tag of $358,000. Of course, the 720S isn’t
Ford Mustangs have developed a bit of a meme-tastic reputation over the last few years, thanks to drivers speeding out of cars and coffee meetups and crashing. It’s a case of those owners pushing their cars past their own abilities. Unfortunately, a recent incident on Angeles Crest Highway in California won’t help shake the stereotype.
The Roadkill crew has worked on a lot of nasty, dysfunctional cars over the years. Is this ratty 1969 Mustang the best one? It could very well be the worst one.
The Humvee is an iconic military vehicle that has been at the center of many conflicts the world over the past 30 years or so. It’s also been at the center of a legal conflict between its manufacturer, AM General, and the video game developer Activision Blizzard—the company behind the Call of Duty first-person shooter

If you go to Tesla’s website to order a car today, you’ll find that a new upcoming feature for the brand’s Full Self-Driving Capability (a $7000 add-on promising autonomous capability in the future, but not now). Is it full self-driving? No. But the new addition, dubbed “Recognize and respond to traffic lights and stop signs”
As we’ve been informing you here, auto racing is all canceled or postponed. Ditto auto production, auto shows, classic concours, cars-n-coffee confabs, and pretty much everything else for the next several weeks, minimum. If it all has you on edge*, perhaps there’s no better time to engage in a bit of social drinking via video
The Land Rover Defender and the Ford Bronco having been reanimated for release into the American automotive population (plus the ongoing popularity of the Jeep Wrangler) serves as proof that public interest in capable 4x4s hasn’t been dampened by the swarm of pavement-oriented crossovers that currently dominate automotive sales charts. To mark this off-road reawakening,
Delium’s Terra Raider M/T KU-255 offers maximum traction in muddy terrain. Its unique compound provides longer wear, enhanced wet traction, and more.
Remember when Japanese cars wore all their features right on their sleeves? Big, bold rocker graphics proclaiming “DOHC 16-VALVE,” “VTEC,” “Twin-Cam,” and that sort of thing. Well, the Isuzu Impulse RS might take the crown for U.S.-market Japanese cars with long-winded decals, with its back panel blaring: “ALL-WHEEL DRIVE INTERCOOLED TURBO.” And it’s all true.
Finally! A LEGO kit that lives its life a quarter-mile at a time. For $99.99, you can have your very own black 1970 Dodge Charger R/T just like Dominic Toretto’s from the Fast & Furious movie franchise. (You know, the juggernaut whose latest installment, F9, is delayed until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.) This
The hype for the Tesla Cybertruck pickup is real. Alas, the production version of the electric truck still isn’t. On the other hand, the classic Volkswagen Type 2 Pick-Up is a fully realized truck that’s available today on the used-car market. Ignore, for the moment, that the VW is powered by a weak gas-fed flat-four cylinder and
The rugged, two-door 4×4 is a fast-fading vehicle format. Jeep’s Wrangler has kept it alive, though, and now it is joined by the return of Land Rover’s Defender SUV, which is available in two-door “90” guise. (The Defender 110 is the four-door model; similar to Jeep’s Wrangler Unlimited.) At first blush, the Jeep Wrangler and
Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains, the U.K.-based operation that develops and builds the high-tech hybrid powertrains for the six-time world champion Mercedes F1 team, has helped get a breathing aid for seriously ill COVID-19 patients ready for production in just 13 days.
