Mercedes-AMG unveiled the GT Black Series this week. The Affalterbach tuner’s newest sledgehammer packs 730 horsepower, a flat-plane crankshaft, and an aerodynamics package that puts many dedicated race cars to shame.
2021 Ford Bronco
Ford’s modern Bronco finally landed this week, and it’s safe to say the rugged off-roader is even better than most expected. The new Bronco rides on a next-generation version of Ford’s T6 body-on-frame platform and features a pair of powertrain options, both of them turbocharged.

Nissan rolled out a new EV called the Ariya. The Tesla Model Y rival features concept car looks and a high-tech interior that puts many luxury cars to shame, and Nissan said we can expect a starting price of around $40,000.
