The G-Class EV might be the next hot toy for the rich and the famous, but it also stays true to the G-Wagen's off-road roots with four motors, four two-speed transmissions, and the ability to rip off 360-degree spins.

We infiltrate hot rodding’s inner sanctum with the Lucid Air Sapphire at HOT ROD Drag Week 2025. Amid 400+ hardcore racers, the 1,234-hp EV faced skepticism, side-eye, and plenty of smack talk—but also ran 9-second passes while towing the line between ridicule and respect. From Maryland to Pennsylvania drag strips, the Sapphire proved its endurance over 660 miles of racing and road, sparking debate and surprising admiration. Could an electric sedan hold its own against six-second monsters? Watch as the Sapphire battles tradition and challenges everything Drag Week stands for.

Two turbocharged legends face off: the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla Premium Plus and the 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Black Edition. Both bring over 300 horsepower, all-wheel drive, and a reputation for delivering pure driving thrills. But which one is the ultimate hot hatch for 2025?

Do We Have to Choose? 2025 Toyota GR Corolla vs. VW Golf R

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.
