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.

History repeats in the best way for Volkswagen’s icon: the Golf lineup—GTI and R—earns MotorTrend’s 2026 Car of the Year. In refreshed Mk8 form, both models sharpen design and tech while honoring hot-hatch roots. Outside: crisper headlights, reshaped bumpers, illuminated grille bar, and a bolder R with aggressive aero and an available Euro Style package (lighter seats, no sunroof, Akrapovič titanium exhaust). Inside: a cleaner cabin centered on a quicker 12.9-inch infotainment system with conversational voice control powered by ChatGPT. On the road, MQB chassis tuning, stiffer springs, and revised mounts make it more planted and playful. Power comes from a 2.0L turbo: GTI 241 hp/273 lb-ft (FWD), R 328 hp/295 lb-ft (AWD), both with a responsive 7-speed dual-clutch. IQ.Drive driver assists are standard. Efficiency stays strong (up to 27 mpg combined GTI; 25 mpg R), and value impresses (GTI from $33,670; R from $48,325). A daily driver with real thrills—this is the Golf at its best.
