The Latest Breaking News from Motor1

BMW revealed on Thursday it took a particularly interesting Nürburgring record back in April. The M3 CS Touring, the company's most extreme station wagon, now holds the record for quickest wagon around the Nordschleife, with a time of 7 minutes, 29.49 seconds. 

Chevrolet has tested Corvettes around the Nürburgring for decades, but it’s been over 10 years since the company released a Nordschleife lap time for America’s sports car. That changes Thursday. Chevy brought three C8 Corvettes to the ‘Ring—the Z06, ZR1, and ZR1X—and now claims the title of fastest American car around…

Hard to believe, but it’s already been nearly two years since Honda revived the Prelude name with a concept car at the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon. The sixth-generation model later evolved into a near-production prototype for this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, and now it’s about to go on sale…

Add to that a sound system that doesn't use traditional speakers.

It's official: The Ram 1500 TRX is making a comeback. Newly appointed Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa confirmed the model's revival during the company's Q2 financial call, pointing to its ability to generate big margins for the brand.
