German automaker Porsche and Japanese video game expert Polyphony Digital has unveiled a new racing concept that exists purely in the digital realm.

This winter, the redesigned 2022 Honda Passport is arriving at dealerships with a significant price hike. The base Sport trim from the outgoing model is gone for 2022, making way for the new base EX-L trim with standard front-wheel drive (AWD remains a $2,100 option).
If parent company Toyota dabbled in hydrogen, it wouldn’t be amiss if luxury arm Lexus swam in the same pool. It’s no secret Toyota’s working on a conventional internal combustion engine that runs on hydrogen fuel. It even went racing with its hydrogen Corolla hatchback, and the GR Yaris was next to receive the hydrogen treatment.
German tuning expert Manhart has a dilemma. Electrification is at the core of Mercedes-AMG’s incoming 2022 C63 and C63 S, and it will no longer have its fabulous 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 engine. Manhart claims the newest C63 will probably come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-banger and an electric motor.
The 2022 Mazda 3 has a new Carbon Edition trim slotting between the Preferred and Premium models. Available as a hatchback ($27,415 including $1,015 destination) or four-door sedan ($28,415), it features the same Polymetal Gray paint as Carbon Edition models of the outgoing Mazda 6, CX-5, and CX-9. It also gets a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system, black 18-inch alloy wheels, gloss black door mirrors, and red leather upholstery.
Japanese auto giant Toyota has released images of its latest hydrogen-powered creation. No, it's not a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (HFCEV) like the sleek new Toyota Mirai. As you can see, Toyota has outfitted its brilliant GR Yaris hot hatch with a simple ol' internal combustion engine, but this time it runs on hydrogen instead of fossil fuel.
The 2022 Lincoln Aviator is getting its version of the blacked-out theme that’s ever-so prevalent among new vehicles. Lincoln’s Jet Appearance package has nothing to do with fighter jets despite the Aviator’s aeronautical-themed moniker. Instead, it adds a host of high-gloss black (or jet black) exterior accents replacing the chrome trim you’ll find in the Aviator Monochromatic Reserve Package.
Polaris has unveiled the Ranger XP Kinetic, an all-electric utility terrain vehicle (UTV) developed with Zero Motorcycles.

Bentley’s Mulliner division has introduced a new Blackline model for the 2022 Continental GT. The latest Blackline trim is available for both the coupe and convertible versions of the Continental GT.

Mazda unveiled its best-selling 2022 CX-5 crossover a few months ago, but the Japanese automaker failed to mention pricing and trim levels. As it turns out, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 gets new trim designations and a mild price hike.

World-renowned Porsche tuning expert TechArt has unveiled its latest project car based on the 911 Targa 4.

Campaign of the German Federal Ministry of Transport.
Hyundai’s luxury arm Genesis has unveiled the very first images of its newest 2023 G90 flagship sedan.
