NEW GT500 SPIED AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly automotive news update covers a range of upcoming and rumored vehicles. A significant portion is dedicated to the Ford Mustang, with spy shots suggesting a high-performance variant, potentially a GT500 or Cobra R, and speculation about other special editions like the Boss 429 and Mach 1. The reviewer notes Ford's recent surge in Mustang variants after a period of limited options, expressing confusion about how these will fit into the lineup before the next-generation S650 model arrives. Other key news includes a Dodge Demon teaser highlighting its unique drag-mode air conditioning system for charge cooling, patent filings indicating active aerodynamics for the next Corvette ZR1, and spy shots of a facelifted Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the next-generation 911. The update also touches on a potential BMW M8/M6, leaked images of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, new Jeep Easter Safari concepts, a Toyota FT-4X concept teaser, a refreshed Toyota Yaris, a new Acura TLX A-Spec (noted as an appearance package), the 2017 Nissan GT-R Track Edition for the US, and a leaked torque figure for the Honda Civic Si that is considered underwhelming. Finally, Tesla's 8.1 Autopilot update is discussed, restoring features like auto-steer above 55 mph and auto lane change, alongside confirmation that the Model Y is still several years away. The Skoda Vision E concept and updated Infiniti QX50 spy shots round out the news.
