Maserati's New Supercar — Do You Prefer the Coupe or Convertible?
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. While many brands brought familiar faces to this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, Maserati stood out with a global debut. The Italian carmaker unveiled both the coupe and Cielo convertible versions of its MC20 successor, the MCPura. It was one of the few all-new reveals at the event, and it drew plenty of attention. Meanwhile, McLaren's hypercar was tucked away from the crowds. 0:06 / 0:09 Costco members can save $3,000 on a new Chevy Corvette Watch More Sharper Style, Same Core Maserati plays on Einstein's iconic formula, E = MCPURA, with 'MC' standing for Maserati Corse and 'Pura' meaning 'pure' in Italian. PR theatrics aside, the updates are subtle but intentional. The MCPura sticks with the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno V6 as the MC20, but thanks to refined materials and increased carbon fiber use, it now has a dry weight of just 3,043 lbs. That is about 300 lbs less than before. On display at Goodwood were both coupe and Cielo convertible versions, finished in a stunning Ai Aqua Rainbow color. The paint shimmered in the sun like a prism, matte on the coupe and glossy on the Cielo. The new magenta Trident badges with blue mica accents add flair, and the redesigned wheels even more. While the MC20 leaned more luxurious, the MCPura's cabin is sportier. It swaps leather for Alcantara, and the laser-etched Trident logos on the 'Alcantara Ice' seats make them a clear focal point. A slightly revised steering wheel rounds out the changes inside. Subtle, Purposeful Upgrades The highlight feature is the topless Cielo's new retractable roof. Made from polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) glass, it can switch from clear to opaque in an instant. Maserati says it's the first roof of its kind in this segment. The MCPura also benefits from a stiffer carbon-fiber monocoque and aerodynamic changes inspired by the MC20 GT2, including a revised front end for better downforce. The Nettuno V6 still delivers 621 hp, 538 lb-ft of torque, and a redline of 8,000 rpm. As before, the car is built entirely in Modena.

The Maserati Fuoriserie program offers over 30 color choices, including Devil Orange, Verde Royale, and Night Interaction, letting owners build something truly personal. The MCPura may not be a new model built from the ground up, but it is a sharper and lighter recipe of what already worked. At Goodwood, it proved Maserati can evolve the sports car without falling victim to electricification. About the Author Marnus Moolman View Profile

Now, thanks to a new lease offer for July, it's more attainable than ever. Starting this month, Kia is offering a standout 36-month lease on the 2025 K5 LXS.

That's based on an MSRP of $28,565, and it's available through August 4, 2025. 2025 Kia K5 — Source: Kia While the down payment is steeper than some competing offers, the low monthly payment brings the overall cost into highly competitive territory, especially when you consider what you're getting. The K5's sleek fastback silhouette, quiet cabin, and responsive steering make it feel more premium than its price tag would suggest. What's new for the 2025 Kia K5 For 2025, Kia gave the K5 a tech-forward refresh. The standout change is the dual-screen setup, combining a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a matching center touchscreen.

Chevy Corvette ZR1 Just Rewrote the Speed Books: See the Unbelievable Performance
The 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 blazes past supercars at a fraction of the price. Packed with more than 1,000 horsepower, the ZR1 is unrivaled on the track. The 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 is unstoppable The Chevy Corvette has had a reserved parking space in the hearts of enthusiasts for decades, but now the ZR1 variant unleashes performance that can rival the world's fastest supercars. The Chevy Corvette ZR1 taps into more than 1,000 horsepower to complete a quarter-mile run in under 10 seconds. Add in the iconic design, including the return of the split rear window, and the ZR1 brings the heat in more ways than one. The C8 Corvette ZR1 is the most powerful of its lineage The Chevy Corvette ZR1 comes powered by a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, otherwise known as the most powerful V8 ever produced by an automotive manufacturer in the United States. An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission sends an astounding 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Combined with a carbon fiber kit that creates more than 1,200 pounds of downforce, the Corvette ZR1 can reach 60 mph in a GM-estimated 2.3 seconds and boasts a 233 mph top speed. 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 — Source: Chevrolet As it turns out, GM isn't exaggerating those claims. In Car and Driver testing, the 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 struck 60 mph in 2.2 seconds, a tenth of a second quicker than the manufacturer's estimates. That performance makes the Corvette ZR1 the fastest rear-wheel drive car the C&D team has ever tested. Previously, the McLaren 750S, which starts at $349,000, held the crown with a 2.3-second 60 mph time. Prior to that, the Ferrari 296GTB was top dog. Weighing in at 3,831 pounds, the Chevy Corvette ZR1 is on the heavier side of rear-wheel drive dynamos. The American performance car weighs 625 pounds more than the McLaren 750S, but that doesn't stop it from widening the gap over longer distances. While the 60 mph test ended in a tenth of a second difference, the quarter-mile run expanded the ZR1's lead to three-tenths of a second in C&D testing. The Corvette ZR1 also tapped 150 mph in 9.7 seconds, a full second faster than the McLaren 750S. Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world,' said Scott Bell, Chevrolet vice president. The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is available in two trim levels, 1LZ and 3LZ. Regardless of trim level, the Corvette ZR1 features a carbon fiber roof, carbon ceramic brakes, and carbon fiber ground effects and side intakes. The 1LZ starts at $173,300, easily undercutting competing performance cars like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Corvette ZR1 shattered records at US tracks The GM performance team took the Chevy Corvette ZR1 on a track tour, and the performance car managed to set five new production car lap records along the way. Driven by four different GM drivers, the Corvette ZR1 managed to set record lap times at Watkins Glen Long Course, Road America, Road Atlanta, Virginia International Raceway Full Course, and Virginia International Raceway Grand Course. Combined, the four drivers have 65 years of GM Level 6 driving experience, and they've all undergone specialized training to earn their Nürburgring Industry Pool certification. 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Notably, Ford took the Mustang GTD performance variant to the Nürburgring and set a sub-seven-minute lap time. The American muscle car completed the run in just 6:52.072, making it the fourth fastest vehicle in its class. Perhaps it's time Chevy took the Corvette ZR1 to the Nürburgring to really test its mettle. As impressive as the Corvette ZR1 is, Chevy could have an even more powerful model in the works. The American automaker released a teaser for a new Corvette variant, and the rumored model has been spotted testing at the Nürburgring. If rumors are true, the new Corvette will combine the ZR1's V8 engine with the E-Ray's all-wheel drive setup. Oops! We're unable to load this content right now. View directly on Instagram Final thoughts The 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 is an absolute beast of a performance car, and at its price point, there's no true contender on the market. Supercars from McLaren and Ferrari cost six figures more, but fail to match the milestones and lap times the Corvette ZR1 puts up. Personally, the Corvette isn't my favorite Chevy performance car (rest in peace, Camaro), but there's no denying that the American icon is keeping competitors on their toes – or leaving them in the dust. With an even more powerful Corvette model in the works, we could very well see a sub-two-second 60 mph time and more record lap times in the near future.
