Ford is celebrating the Ford Bronco’s lengthy 60-year legacy with a special anniversary edition.  The first-generation Bronco was introduced on August 11, 1965. Now in its sixth generation, the 2026 Bronco 60th Anniversary Package will be available to order in October with the 4-door Outer Banks model equipped with the brawny Bronco Sasquatch package.

Why the Bronco is so special

Considered the first sport-utility vehicle by many, the Bronco has always combined off-road capability and performance since its introduction. Even though production was suspended for 25 years from 1996 to 2021, Bronco fans, old and new, welcomed the announcement of its return and eagerly awaited the closest competitor to the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

Mercedes takes two podium spots in Austria Grand Prix 2026
Russell and Antonelli take two of the top spots while Verstappen spoils a top two finish
Auto Racing, Car, Formula One

700 meters above sea level and tucked back into the Styrian Hills sits the most vista-rich track in all of Formula 1's Grand Prix Circuit. The Austria Grand Prix took place early this morning for the US viewers, and it held a bevy of exciting moments and ended with a great day for Mercedes and the exact opposite for Ferrari, who were unable to repeat their Barcelona excellence to finish in fifth and eighth place. Of course, Cadillac and Aston Martin would have paid good money to have a day like Ferrari, with Cadillac collecting two DNF's and Aston Martin's Stoll couldn't finish the race yet again, leaving another disappointing, pointless weekend for the team. Mercedes was the clear winner as they pulled away from the pack and took the first and third podiums with Max Verstappen sandwiched in between them.

Porsche enters the classic 911 into the GT4 category
The iconic brand deepens their racing portfolio with classic edition
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

In the mid-2000s (I won't speculate as to the timing of The Fast and the Furious hype coincidence here...), a new phenomenon in racing launched to help the everyman get an opportunity to enter into a very exclusive culture: racing. The entire point of it was to offer a more accessible alternative to the super-expensive racing world, where customers could bring their love of racing to the streets for a little go-fast competition. Porsche has been in that world for a long time, and deepened their racing portfolio with a 911 version that will allow the lovers of the street-legal 911 to take it to the racing world with the new Porsche 911 GT4 R.

With the new race car based on the Porsche 911 GT3, we are taking our successful GT4 program to a new level. The combination of iconic 911 DNA and the tried-and-tested GT4 concept creates a unique offering in the market. - Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President, Porsche Motorsport
