THE INSANE $300K MUSTANG GTD, NEW NSX TEASED + MORE MONTEREY CAR WEEK DEBUTS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update from Matt Maran Motoring dives deep into the highly anticipated 2025 Ford Mustang GTD, a street-legal GT3 race car with a staggering $300,000 starting price. The reviewer highlights its extensive race-derived engineering, including a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 producing over 800 horsepower, a rear transaxle for 50/50 weight distribution, and advanced Multimatic adaptive spool valve dampers. While the lack of a trunk and the high price are noted, the GTD is positioned as a serious contender targeting a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring time, directly challenging European hypercars. The review also touches upon the 2024 Acura ZDX and ZDX Type S, praising their Ultium platform benefits, standard 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio, and the surprising inclusion of GM's Super Cruise hands-free driving system, though criticizing the use of basic GM switchgear. Other segments cover the Acura Performance Electric Vision Concept, Infiniti QX Monograph, Zenvo Aurora, Lamborghini EV teaser, Aston Martin DB12 Volante, potential Mercedes-AMG V8 return, Fisker Alaska updates, Audi SQ8 specs, Kia EV5 leak, AWD BMW M2 rumors, the final Jeep Gladiator Rubicon FarOut diesel edition, and the Nissan Frontier's potential EV future, alongside the Toyota Rangga concept.
