Acura has revealed the new Acura Integra 2023. The iconic nameplate is set to return next year, and the prototype revealed the Integra will look like a smaller, hatchback version of the TLX sedan. Modelled after the Civic, it will come with a turbo-4 in the engine and a 6-speed manual option. The price will be around $30,000.
Rivian was made public, and the bank accounts of the company went into full swing after its IPO. Although share prices were initially set at $78, the stock traded at $100.73 for the first day, which is a 29% increase. Rivian’s first day of trading saw it surpass Ford and match General Motor’s values, but far less than Tesla.
Makoto Uchida, Nissan’s CEO, said that the company is working on a “new platform” to build the supercar’s next-generation GT-R. Although little is known about the R36 GT-R’s future, there has been renewed speculation as to whether Nissan will offer a hybrid engine under its new platform.
Ford teased yet again the 2022 Bronco Raptor. A new image of the prototype, lightly camouflaged, revealed its massive fender flares as well as 37-inch tires. Video confirmed that the underside of this off-roader had a turbocharged V-6.
The hybrid Porsche 911 is coming, and we spotted an early test mule performing hot laps around the Nürburgring. An apparent 911 Turbo was covered in a yellow sticker. This is required by some countries for testing electrified vehicles. This hybrid model is expected to make its debut in the 992-generation. It will have an integrated electric motor.
