VW’s stunning electric van puts form over function, but that’s the right call.

Some serious upgrades enable Ford’s big SUV to hurl itself to 60 mph in less than five seconds.

Consider Ford’s 5.0 coupe an inspiration rather than a template.

Here’s what’s new with Chevy for the new model year, including a 670-horsepower Z06, a redesigned Colorado pickup, and an electric version of the Blazer SUV.

From the September 2023 issue of Car and Driver.Was any car more ahead of its time than the Lamborghini LM002? In its day, the LM002 was a freak, an epic miscalculation by a brand that really couldn’t afford a dud. Now it looks like clairvoyance: the original exotic luxury SUV, two or three decades too early. Today almost every sports-car company builds a six-figure overpowered utility vehicle, and even the LM002’s odd-for-its-day form—four-door, short-bed pickup truck—is the default body style…

Honda has built a new V-8 outboard engine for boats called the BF350.It’s a 5.0-liter V-8 that makes 350 horsepower at 5500 rpm.It’s intended for boats 25 feet and longer; pricing isn’t yet available but the BF350 will go on sale next year.Well, it finally happened: Honda built a V-8. Unfortunately, it won’t be showing up in a Ridgeline or a Pilot or an exceptionally boisterous Civic. No, the BF350 is an outboard engine, so if you want to rock Honda V-8 power, you’ll need a boat—and not a small…

We all know what it feels like to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And if cars had feelings, there’s a 964-era Porsche 911 in the Seattle area that would definitely know all about that one. That’s because it happened to be parked in a garage in close proximity to a Polaris Slingshot that thieves had targeted for the Gone in 60 Seconds treatment. Tucked in under a car cover, the Guards Red 964 obviously wasn’t a daily driver and probably wouldn’t immediately be missed. And so the Porsche—…

From the November 2023 issue of Car and Driver.The Lynyrd Skynyrd crash site took me by surprise. Not as much as it did the band, whose plane ran out of fuel over rural Mississippi one night in 1977, but still. Among the 20 survivors was drummer Artimus Pyle, who stumbled to a farmhouse for help and was promptly shot, which he later said was probably a fair reaction to a bloodied member of Lynyrd Skynyrd staggering out of the woods toward your house. I knew none of this before I spotted the memo…

From the November 2023 issue of Car and Driver.The Dodge Hornet R/T is freighted with expectations. In the post-Challenger world, we’re all looking for a sign that Dodge can find its way without supercharged V-8s and red key fobs. The Hornet is a vision of that future, infusing a dreary yet marketable form—the small crossover—with trademark lovable Dodge dumbness. The car has functional hood scoops, an ornery exhaust burble, and the hybrid version of temporary overboost, which Dodge modestly cal…
