Releases & Reviews
Bentley’s new Continental GT Supersports targets purists by swapping the plug-in hybrid for a rear-drive layout and unassisted V-8, prioritizing feel over headline numbers. Limited to 500 cars and priced from over $486,000, it lands in early 2027 as the most focused modern Conti yet.
The 2026 Pathfinder gets a sharper front fascia, fresh paint option, and a cabin with more screens, connectivity, and nicer materials. While its basic proportions stay familiar, Nissan leans on upgraded tech and refinement to keep this three-row family SUV appealing against newer rivals.

Technology, Market Data & Analysis
Bloomberg reports Tesla has started internally testing Apple CarPlay, suggesting the longtime holdout may finally allow the popular phone-projection system in its cars. A rollout could follow in the coming months—or be scrapped entirely, given Tesla’s history of experimenting with features before quietly killing them.
According to a Reuters-sourced report, General Motors is telling suppliers to shift raw materials and parts away from China, doubling down on an effort launched late last year. The strategy responds to rising U.S.–China tensions and a 100 percent U.S. tariff effectively blocking imported Chinese EVs.

On Hagerty’s Cammisa Ultimate Drag Race Replay, a 2025 Golf R lines up against E90 M3, B7 RS4, and W204 C63 AMG to see which era defines peak sport sedan. Beyond the quarter-mile, Cammisa explores chassis balance, sound, and livability, contrasting high-revving V-8 drama with modern turbocharged grip.
Updated specs reveal the Boreham Motorworks Escort Mk1 RS’s 2.1-liter four-cylinder as a 325-horsepower (242 kW) screamer with a 10,000-rpm redline. Developed with lessons from F1-style engines, the naturally aspirated unit keeps Ford’s small fast-car legacy alive through an official continuation project even as the brand retreats from hot hatches.

Miscellaneous
Toyota is recalling 126,691 Tundra and Lexus vehicles in the U.S. after manufacturing debris was found that could cause their engines to stall. Regulators say the remedy is still being developed, so affected owners will need to wait for instructions once a repair campaign is ready.
New 2026 EU noise limits under UN R51.03 will force Mercedes-AMG to axe some of its loudest models, reportedly including the C43, GLC43, and GLA35 by early 2026. Future AMG EVs such as the next GT will instead rely on synthetic V-8-style soundtracks to keep enthusiasts engaged while meeting regulations.
