3 New Muscle Cars for Under $50K in 2025
What is the purpose of muscle cars? To many auto enthusiasts, that's like asking a luxury fashion collector, 'What is the purpose of designer handbags?' You either get it or you don't. And if you get it, you know that muscle cars are classic American status symbols. Vintage muscle cars easily sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars — and some have sold for millions.

It's usually the classic muscle cars that go for the most money, but muscle cars made today can still be very expensive. That said, there are some muscle cars being made that aren't completely out of reach of middle-class buyers. Let's look at three new muscle cars that are under $50,000 in 2025.
Starting price: $46,560
The 2025 Ford Mustang GT is the most premium — and most expensive — of the three cars on this list, each of which is a version of the Ford Mustang. This model features a 5.0-liter V-8 engine with 480 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. This sleek machine with a tech'd out infotainment center, can propel from zero to 60 mph in approximately 4.2 seconds.

Starting price: $37,545
For under $40,000, you can buy the 2025 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium (coupe; convertible is closer to $45,000). This powerful car can go from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds — really not that far behind what its superior sibling the 2025 Ford Mustang GT can do. Modern drivers will appreciate the wireless device charging, satellite radio and dual-zone automatic climate control. And let's not forget the heated steering wheel.
Starting price: $31,920
Here we have the most affordable 2025 Ford Mustang iteration, and the most affordable muscle car in 2025, period. The 2025 Ford Mustang EcoBoost delivers 315 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. This car may be relatively inexpensive, but it's hardly a lemon. Both diehard racers and first-time muscle car owners have great things to say about this model.

10 Car Brands That Should Be Affected the Least by Trump's Tariffs
Since even American-made cars contain foreign-made parts, all vehicle prices are expected to be impacted by the tariffs enacted by President Donald Trump. A new analysis conducted by Jerry found that auto tariffs could add an average estimated 13.7% — or $5,009 — to the price of nonluxury vehicles. Find Out: Read Next: However, some brands could be more impacted than others — and it's not necessarily foreign cars that might see the largest price increases. 'Rather than favoring domestic brands, the new tariff policy favors localizers,' the Jerry report states. 'This means the Toyota Corolla gets roughly the same treatment as domestic brands, because it is primarily assembled in the U.S. Even so, imported components leave a residual charge on every vehicle, driving prices up for consumers.' According to Jerry, these car brands could be impacted by tariffs the least.

'AI No Longer Needs Us'
WASHINGTON, May 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For decades, artificial intelligence has worked for us — serving as an assistant, tool, or upgrade. But according to one former hedge fund manager, Enrique Abeyta, that era is ending. In his recent briefing, Abeyta shows that the turning point is Dojo — Elon Musk's in-house supercomputer and chip architecture that trains machines using real-world input, not human code. 'This is the moment we go from command-and-control to true autonomy,' Abeyta says. 'This is the break point — when the machine doesn't wait for us anymore.' It Learns Like You. But Better. Musk's Dojo platform processes 160 billion frames of real-world video every day — learning how to see, move, react, and adapt with no human oversight. 'With the latest software… Elon Musk's AI can already drive a car without any help from humans,' Abeyta confirms. And on June 1st, Tesla is expected to launch its first robotaxi, a vehicle with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no human fallback. From Scarcity to Sovereignty Dojo was created out of necessity. When Musk faced delays and chip shortages from Nvidia, he didn't wait. He built his own chip — one now reported to be six times more powerful than Nvidia's top-selling model. 'I think this requires that we put a lot more effort on Dojo… I see a path to being competitive with Nvidia,' Musk stated. The result is a fully integrated, closed-loop learning system — controlled entirely by Tesla. It Won't Stop at Cars Abeyta says Dojo is more than a car brain — it's a general-purpose vision AI architecture capable of expanding into dozens of industries. From robotics to logistics, from surveillance to medical imaging — it's a plug-and-play AI brain that sees and decides in real time. Morgan Stanley echoes that: 'Dojo applications longer-term can extend beyond the auto industry. It can lay the foundation for vision-based AI models.' Dojo and Washington: A Quiet Alignment Behind the scenes, Dojo has already received quiet backing from Washington. 'President Trump just signed an executive order called 'Removing Barriers to American AI Innovation,'' Abeyta notes. 'He wants to accelerate the development of AI because he understands it's a matter of national security.' Musk's core AI partner is already 'expecting to receive billions of dollars from the Trump administration.' About Enrique Abeyta Enrique Abeyta is a former Wall Street hedge fund manager and global systems analyst who spent over two decades identifying structural shifts in markets and technology. After managing nearly $4 billion in institutional capital, he now leads Breaking Profits, a research initiative focused on AI autonomy, civilian infrastructure transformation, and the accelerating transition to machine-directed systems.
