Land Rover’s New Competition Sounds Like ‘Survivor’ but With Cars

1 week ago | thedrive.com | Andrew Collins

The new Land Rover Defender 110 Trophy Edition will come in Deep Sandglow Yellow or Keswick Green, which is reason enough to celebrate its existence. But the cooler news that the British brand dropped is the Defender Trophy itself. Rover is getting back into epic adventure contests. From 1980 through the end of the ’90s, Land Rover famously ran a long series of epic international endurance challenges known as the Camel Trophy.
Brembo Brakes Are Going on Mountain Bikes Now

1 week ago | thedrive.com | Andrew Collins

Brembo, popular purveyor of high-performance brakes for cars and motorcycles, is jumping into a new market and arena of sport: downhill mountain biking. The Formula 1 and MotoGP brake supplier will now be making cute little brake calipers for Specialized’s 2025 UCI MTB World Series race bike. And yes, they are red. There have been some one-off custom bicycles with Brembo brakes in the past, but this is the first proper OE application on something with pedal power.
This Is How Mercedes Thinks an AMG EV Should Sound

1 week ago | thedrive.com | Byron Hurd

Mercedes just dropped a teaser for a new all-electric AMG model. This brief video clip not only gives us our first look at what AMG has planned for its new, all-electric platform, but our first listen. Seriously. And if you’re confused by the uninterrupted squeal of tire noise, hang in there for the twist. There’s admittedly not much to see on this still-camouflaged prototype (and if it’s pure CGI, it’s a convincing effort), but its basic form is recognizable.
Where Is the Electric Corvette GM Announced Back in 2022?

1 week ago | thedrive.com | Joel Feder

Hop in the Way Back Machine to three years ago and the electric Chevrolet Corvette was announced. Since then GM hasn’t said a word, the car’s never been mentioned again, and its existence seems to have all but been forgotten. Where is this thing? And why haven’t prototypes even been spotted? In 2022 GM President Mark Reuss went live on CNBC and told Phil LeBeau an electrified Corvette was coming the next year, and an electric version would follow. No further timelines were given.
Here's Why GM Is Sticking With V8s While Everyone Else Switches to Six Cylinders

1 week ago | thedrive.com | Caleb Jacobs

I published a story last week that said the V8 is no longer America’s truck engine. That’s because manufacturers like Ford have increased six-cylinder production drastically in recent years, and Toyota has even gone V6-only in the Tundra. V8-powered models only accounted for 38% of truck registrations in 2024 as a result; meanwhile, six-cylinder models made up 47.6%. So, why the heck is General Motors investing $888 million into next-gen small-block V8 production?
BMW Invented What Comes After Carbon Fiber, And It'll Be in Your Next M Car

1 week ago | thedrive.com | Andrew Collins

BMW‘s carbon fiber roof parts will soon be replaced with plant fiber. When the BMW M4 GT4 hits the Nürburgring for its next 24-hour race, it’ll be race-testing the same flax-based natural fiber composites. I don’t think that means you’ll be able to eat your Bimmer (yet), but it should make their construction more environmentally friendly. Visible trim pieces on M cars that have been carbon in the past will start to be replaced with this similar-looking plant stuff.
2028 BMW X7 spied lacking Neue Klasse design

1 week ago | thedrive.com | Joel Feder

Prototypes for the next-generation BMW X7 have been spotted testing on public roads, and what can be seen leads to some confusion. Expected to enter production in the second half of 2027, the 2028 BMW X7 will mark the model’s second generation when it arrives. Prototypes spied on public roads point to an evolutionary design, which is a departure from previous statements from the automaker’s executive team.
Ram Now Has the Best Powertrain Warranty in Trucks, and It Includes HD Models

1 week ago | thedrive.com | Caleb Jacobs

Warranties usually aren’t exciting, but when they’re this good, they’re worth squawking about. Ram is rolling out a new 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty on all 2026 model year trucks, from the 1500 half-ton to the 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500. That means no matter which new Ram truck you buy, whether it be a Baja-blasting RHO or a Cummins diesel-powered HD model, the powertrain will be covered well into the next decade (unless you exceed the mileage limit first, of course).
Honda Has a New Plan To Support Its Aging Classics Like the NSX

1 week ago | thedrive.com | Andrew Collins

In Japan, Honda’s been running an “NSX Refresh Plan” for customers to get early NSXs fixed by factory specialists since 1993. That program’s being sunsetted this year, and replaced with a new strategy to maintain support for the first-gen NSX and other high-tier Hondas. There might not be many OEM ’90s NSX parts left on shelves, but Honda is not going to give up on its aging classics.
Inside the Mind-Boggling Logistics of Porsche’s Le Mans Effort

1 week ago | thedrive.com | Ronan Glon

Even before stepping in, it’s easy to see that the Porsche Penske Motorsport garage at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans has an ant farm-like vibe. People walking at a determined pace are coming and going, Porsche-branded ATVs towing trailers with racing tires stacked high honk their way through the crowd, all while fans decked out in Porsche Motorsport attire bake in the sun like statues, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite racing driver.
