  • 2021 Ford GT, 2021 Ford Bronco Sport, Mercedes-AMG One: This Week’s Top Photos

    Ford unveiled new Collection and Heritage Edition options for its GT supercar this week, the latter in honor of the GT40 Mk II driven by Ken Miles to victory in the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona.

    We were also treated by Ford with a ride in its 2021 Bronco Sport. It may be related to the Escape, but the baby Bronco can hold its own on rough terrain.

    One of the cars we tested this week was the 2020 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0. Yes, Porsche’s 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman are now available with the 4.0-liter flat-6 previously only available in the exclusive Boxster Spyder and Cayman GT4 variants.

    One of the cars we spied this week was also a Porsche, specifically the Taycan Cross Turismo battery-electric wagon. It’s due out later this year but hasn’t been confirmed for local sale.

    Another vehicle we spied was an upcoming EV from Genesis. It’s one of two EVs the Korean luxury brand is out testing; the other is an electric version of the G80.

    Mercedes-AMG gave us an update on the development of its One. Powertrain calibrations for the Formula One-powered hypercar are finally complete, meaning the development team can now focus on track testing. The car is due out next year.

    There was another hypercar in the headlines this week. Historic French marque Delage made a revival with a V-12-powered hypercar called the D12. It comes with a central driving position and an 1,100-horsepower hybrid powertrain, and the people behind it want to make an attempt on the Nürburgring lap record.

    And finally, Ford’s F-150 Raptor had better watch out as Ram rolled out its 2021 1500 TRX this week, and the truck is packing a supercharged V-8 good for 702 horsepower. A Launch Edition was also revealed and all build slots for this special version managed to sell out within hours.

  • 2021 Ford Bronco, 2021 Ram 1500 TRX, Micheal Jordan’s Mercedes: The Week In Reverse

    We took a ride in the 2021 Ford Bronco; the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX was revealed; and Michael Jordan’s Mercedes-Benz S600 is for sale. It’s the Week in Reverse, right here at Motor Authority.

    We slid into the passenger seat of the 2021 Ford Bronco with veteran Ford engineer Dan Shaffer behind the wheel. Schaffer gave us a taste of what the new Bronco is capable of off-road through sand, water, and hills. It was as good as a ride at Six Flags.

    Our spy photography spotted the 2021 Acura MDX testing on public road in production-ready form. The next-generation MDX will look sportier and should bring the Type-S moniker to the family hauler with a twin-turbo V-6. Expect a design like the attractive new TLX sedan.

    Ram finally unveiled a Hellcat-powered pickup. The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX debuted with 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. With 13 inches of suspension travel up front and 14 inches in the rear, Ram claims the TRX can top 100 mph on road or off.

    We drove the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class and found the new generation improves everything except for its front-wheel-drive design. The basis for the small luxury crossover SUV still sets the GLA up to be dynamically compromised, but the interior, technology, and comfort are all worthy of the brand.

    A 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 modified by Lorinser and previously owned by Michael Jordan is for sale on eBay. The listing shows photos of Jordan with the car along with a copy of the original title with Jordan and his wife Juanita as the owners. The built-in car phone cements this car as a 1990s period piece.
