The 2024 Mazda Miata's high-revving four-cylinder engine still develops a punchy 181 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque, the six-speed manual transmission still snicks through gears with delicious tactility, and the lightweight body is still a joy to toss about.

In some circles. the arrival of Ferrari's controversial first-ever SUV is a sign that the final shift toward conformity and the death of driving enthusiasm is upon us. Ferrari's even been accused of selling out in building the Purosangue, despite a naturally aspirated, 715-hp V-12 under the hood. But as Senior Features Editor Kristen Lee found out, although it has four doors, four seats, and tall ride, the Purosangue is still every bit a Ferrari and a worthy addition to the Prancing Horse stable.

6 Reasons Why This Datsun ’73 240Z Stands Out

The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is stunningly easy to drive fast, a true cheat code for both road and racetrack. At 4,386 pounds, it outweighs the Mustang Dark Horse and Porsche 911 GT3 RS, yet feels planted, stable, and shockingly quick from behind the wheel. With 815 horsepower, 664 lb-ft of torque, custom Michelin Pilot Cup 2 R tires, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, the GTD delivers relentless grip, massive stopping power, and confidence through every corner. It matches the GT3 RS on high-speed downforce turns and outperforms it in tight, low-speed corners thanks to its wide tires and advanced rear suspension. On the street, the GTD remains forgiving and composed, with adjustable suspension and active aerodynamics that make it livable. Inside, though, the $325,000 Mustang shows its weak spot — an interior closer to a $40,000 car. Still, Ford has already received far more applications than available build slots for this limited-production machine. Ford calls it “a supercar with the soul of a Mustang,” and the GTD proves it on track and on the road.
