Above all, the new Opel Mokka GSE impresses with its strong performance. With a peak output of 207 kW (280 hp), the serial production electric car will be just as powerful as its motorsport counterpart. And with an immediate torque of 345 Newton meters, it accelerates just as uncompromisingly. From a standing start it can reach 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds - and with a top speed of 200 km/h, it will soon be the fastest all-electric Opel. Mokka GSE drivers can choose from three distinct drive modes: In 'Sport' mode, the electric car is set up for performance and delivers its full power; in 'Normal' mode it reaches up to 180 km/h and in 'Eco' all settings are trimmed for the greatest possible efficiency. The Mokka GSE stores its energy in a 54 kWh lithium-ion battery. Its kerb weight of less than 1.6 tonnes, which is exemplary for a battery-electric vehicle, and the sophisticated technology, which was also inspired by the rally prototype, also contribute to the ex...

GM has revealed the second in a series of three Chevrolet Corvette concept design studies to debut in 2025. The California Corvette concept was developed by GM's Advanced Design studios in Pasadena, as part of a global design project. This latest concept reimagines the Corvette with a futuristic, Southern California twist and reflects GM's deep roots in the SoCal design community. "Our Advanced Design teams are dedicated to shaping the future, driving innovation, and exploring what's possible," said Bryan Nesbitt, vice president of global design. "The California Corvette concept is another example of forward-thinking design. We invited multiple GM studios to envision Corvette-inspired hypercars - the first of which was revealed by our UK studio in March. The California team has now delivered a complementary study that honors Corvette's legendary performance, while infusing it with their own distinctive vision." The California Corvette concept pays ho...

  Every so often, at Autoshippers, we have the pleasure of being a part of the journey of a piece of motorsport history, so were more than happy when Adam, a lifelong rally enthusiast and seasoned Evo owner contacted us. He had been searching for 18 months for the right car, and eventually his search led him to a pristine example of a 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Makinen Edition – a true rally icon. But owning a dream car is only half the battle, especially when you are based in the USA and the car is in the UK. That’s where we come in. The Journey Begins – Sourcing and Buying a Collector’s Dream A Search 18 Months in the Making This isn’t Adam’s first rodeo, and he already owned five other Evos, so finding your sixth when you have a very specific model in mind takes more than just browsing the classifieds.

 BMW's decision to bring the wagon version of the current M5 to this side of the Atlantic probably doesn't make a lot of sense to the company's accountants, but it's great for the fans. Uber-fast sedans are great, but there's something cooler about a wagon variant. It's a shame Bimmer didn't do the same with the M3. side view of red station wagon with black wheels, roof rails, and flared fenders parked near tree. Bring a Trailer But wait, Bavarian sports wagon fans! Here's a 2015 BMW 328i xDrive wagon, fully converted to F80-series M3 specification, and it's up for sale on Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos). It's got the twin-turbo inline-six, the wider track with fenders and bumper covers, and best of all, a six-speed manual transmission so you can row your own gears while you laminate a labradoodle to the back window. Conversions can be hit or miss sometimes, but this one looks like it was factory-built in Mun...

 If the Factory Five Racing XTF truck caught your eye but seemed like a little much—both financially and mechanically—there's now a new, simplified version called the XTF Stage 1. It keeps the original version's massively flared desert-racer bodywork but eschews the full frame replacement in favor of a more traditional bolt-on suspension swap. The result looks much the same but costs $9990 instead of $24,990. And, perhaps more important for the not so mechanically inclined, the new kit should require 50 to 60 hours of installation labor (not including paint) versus the original's 200-plus hours. Like the full-strength XTF, the Stage 1 is 90 inches wide and accommodates 37-inch-tall tires. It's also designed for 2015–2020 Ford F-150s with either the 5.0-liter V-8 or the turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6. But you won't need to pull the cab off and ditch the frame, instead bolting on new upper and lower control arms and Fox dampers up front, and fitting new long-travel progre...
