The Latest Breaking News from Motor1

Following the departure of much-loathed Stellantis head Carlos Tavares late last year, Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis told Motor1 that he wouldn't rule out a return of the beloved Hemi V-8 to the Ram 1500 pickup. Now, Ram is teasing a big reveal on June 8th. Could we see the return of the V-8?

Good news: The Kia EV9 won’t be any more expensive for 2026. The EV9 has the same starting price as before—$56,395 (with the $1,495 destination charge). However, Kia has reduced the prices of a few trims, including the top-tier GT-Line, which is now $2,000 cheaper.

General Motors graced its big body-on-frame SUVs with some mid-cycle updates for 2025. That includes the Escalade, which doesn’t look much different on the outside, but holy potatoes is it different inside. Serving as GM’s flagship SUV, the Escalade is second only to the ultra-expensive (and ultra-exclusive Celestiq) as Cadillac’s…

Renault’s performance arm is doing better than ever. Fueled by its first electric model launch, the A290 hot hatchback, Alpine posted record sales in 2024 for the fourth consecutive year. Inevitably, the lineup is now expanding to include a crossover. Well, not quite. The French marque refuses to use that…

Automakers securing trademarks and patents in regions where a vehicle may not exist is nothing new. Ram recently filed a patent for its Rampage truck in the US, but we don't necessarily expect to see that exact model Stateside. GM, meanwhile, recently renewed its Pontiac trademark, but we're not holding…

If there was any lingering doubt that the original Honda NSX was a classic (sold in the States as an Acura), this should dispel that notion. At Broad Arrow's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa D'Este auction, someone paid €934,375 for this 2003 NSX-R. At today's exchange rate, that's $1,061,866. Sheesh.

Raise your hand if you saw this coming. After exiting the US a couple of years ago, the purely electric MX-30 is also dead in Europe (including the UK). We noticed the model’s absence from several configurators across the Old Continent, so we contacted Mazda to find out what’s happening.…

When Volvo teased the new XC70 at the beginning of the month, we had a feeling it wouldn’t be a wagon. Sure enough, fully revealing images of the resurrected nameplate confirm its transition to an SUV. We aren't even surprised. Ahead of its official debut, the vehicle has appeared early…

Drastic times call for drastic measures. Amid a series of cost-cutting efforts in its fight for survival, Nissan may also part ways with its global headquarters. The troubled Japanese automaker moved its base from Tokyo to Yokohama in 2009, following two years of construction. Located in the Minato-Mirai 21 district,…

Zagato had a busy weekend at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, where two cars penned by the Italian coachbuilder were unveiled. The fabled design house surprised just about everyone with its own take on the BMW M4, featuring a double bubble roof. Another coupe, this time based on the Alfa…

We typically associate modern shooting brakes with Zagato’s stunning cars. However, the Speedtop unveiled this past weekend at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este was an all-BMW effort based on the M8. The legendary Italian coachbuilder also attended the annual event held on the shores of Lake Como to introduce a…
