The Chevrolet Camaro will be discontinued after the 2024 model year, but Hennessey celebrated this milestone by releasing a special version of its Exorcist upgrade for the Camaro ZL1. With this upgrade, the Camaro can now deliver an impressive 1,000 hp, making it a performance powerhouse that would make any hypercar envious.

Ferrari engineers were recently spotted testing a prototype for the successor to the 812 Superfast. This new super GT is expected to make its debut next year and will feature stunning looks, a new platform, a new V-12 engine, and possibly even some form of electrification.

Chevrolet has also been busy testing a new version of its C8 Corvette, believed to be the ZR1 model. Rumored to launch next year, this high-performance Corvette is expected to pack a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine that could produce close to 850 hp, offering thrilling performance on the road.

Another exciting development in the automotive world is the introduction of the 2024 Corvette E-Ray. This hybrid sports car combines a V-8 engine with a single electric motor, resulting in a combined output of 655 hp. We had the opportunity to test this impressive machine and were blown away by its performance.

Not to be outdone, Jeep has also been making waves with the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L. This stretched SUV ditches the standard V-8 engine in favor of Stellantis' new 3.0-liter turbo-6 engine, which delivers a robust 500 hp. We put this powerful SUV to the test and were thoroughly impressed.

BMW has given its style-focused X2 compact crossover a redesign, making it bigger and bolder than its predecessor. In some markets, the new X2 is also available in an iX2 electric variant, catering to the growing demand for electric vehicles.

Kia has big plans for the future, aiming to have 14 electric vehicles in its lineup by 2027. This week, Kia previewed three of these upcoming models, showcasing two concept cars and one production model. It's an exciting glimpse into the future of Kia's electric vehicle offerings.

Lastly, Porsche partnered with Austrian boat builder Frauscher to develop a 28-foot boat that utilizes the electric powertrain from the upcoming Porsche Macan EV. This collaboration resulted in the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air, which features a single motor with an output of 536 hp. It's a unique project that showcases the versatility of electric powertrains.
