The Ford Mustang has never been a better performance car. With a range of powerful engines and a track-focused GT350R derivative, pony car fans should have zero complaints.

However, the performance capabilities of the current Mustang can’t stop classic car fans from fawning over the 1960s ‘stang. The iconic fastback and convertible body styles are perhaps even cooler today than they were back then. For this reason, gearheads can’t get enough of restored Mustangs, Chargers, Cuda’s, and other storied muscle cars.

There are plenty of speciality shops out there that will happily wrench on your classic car, but few that build an automotive legend from scratch. Revology prides itself on its Mustang Replicas – not just because they look cool – because they’re built from the ground up to have the presence of an original Mustang, with the performance and comfort of a modern sports car.

Revology founder Tom Scarpello ran Ford’s Special Vehicle Team from 1998 to 2004 and has been restoring and racing Mustangs since 1982. It’s safe to say he has a passion for these cars. In fact, his whole team has an unshakable appreciation for the original pony car – every employee is called a “Revologist,” signifying their resolve to make classic cars like new.

Revology Cars manufactures each Mustang Replica from its headquarters in Orlando, Florida. Five body styles are available and can be customized with a number of unqiue interior, powertrain, transmission, suspension, braking, and safety components. Replica options include the 1966 GT Convertible, 1966 GT 2+2 Fastback, 1966 Shelby GT350, 1967 Shelby GT500, and 1968 GT 2+2 Fastback.

At the heart of each Revology Mustang is a 5.0-liter “Coyote” V8 from Ford. Output depends on both the model and whether the buyer adds a Roush supercharger. Between 435 and 600 horsepower is sent to the rear wheels via a five- or six-speed manual transmission, or an automatic gearbox.

A Revology Mustang Replica doesn’t come cheap, with the cheapest model (GT Convertible) starting at $160,000. That amount of cash buys you some pretty awesome new cars, but if you want a new Mustang with classic appeal, it doesn’t get much better than Revology.

What does interval mean in Formula 1?

Formula 1 racing is the top level of motorsports and is gaining fans rapidly in the United States. Since F1 racing began in 1950, it has always been an international competition. Formula 1 is governed by The Fedération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The FIA F1 Regulations specify the technical, sporting, and financial operations of the ten teams in each year's F1 season. Some people find F1 racing hard to understand because certain terms aren't used in typical ways. For example, the word "interval" has three meanings in F1 racing, all related to time between cars, but for different purposes. We break out the three meanings of time intervals below.
Why time intervals are important in F1 racing

The time gaps between cars in Formula 1 races are often measured in fractions of a second as 20 cars speed around tracks, often reaching speeds over 200 mph. Sometimes, the time difference between the first and last cars finishing a race can be just a few seconds, showing how closely they compete. It's not unusual for cars to finish within tenths or hundredths of a second of each other, so timing is crucial in F1 racing.

Maserati rounds off its 2025 Folgore lineup with an electric GranCabrio
Maserati's sports convertible goes all-electric
Maserati GranCabrio Folgore

Maserati has unveiled the final piece of its 2024 electrification puzzle in the form of the GranCabrio Folgore -- an all-electric version of its new convertible. The battery-powered roadster was unveiled as part of “Folgore Days,” a celebration of Maserati’s new electric lineup held in Italy’s motor valley. Folgore Days itself is following on from the Formula E racing weekend at Misano World Circuit -- with Maserati being the only luxury brand represented in the electric racing series.

The Trident has gone all out with its latest offering, producing what it claims is the fastest electric convertible on the market. It can do 0-60 in 2.8 seconds and is capable of hitting speeds of just over 180 miles per hour. As with many of Maserati’s sportier offerings, “Corsa Mode” is available and is the easiest way to get the most out of your electric Maserati. The vehicle produces just over 750 horsepower, though with boost, this can briefly reach around 820 horsepower. So the GranCabrio sits alongside its hard-top sibling as the most powerful vehicle Maserati currently offers.

This is what’s new with the 2025 Subaru Forester
Rather than reinvent models every few years, Subaru focuses on improving each model incrementally.

Subaru introduced the sixth-generation 2025 Forester SUV in five trim levels. The sixth variant, the Forester Wilderness, remains unchanged for 2025 because Subaru redesigned the 2024 version of the more rugged, off-road trim. Like all Subaru SUVs and most sedans, the 2025 Forester trims have full-time, symmetrical all-wheel drive (AWD), four-cylinder Boxer internal combustion engines (ICEs), and continuously variable transmissions (CVTs).
Why 2025 Subaru Forester trim levels matter

Unless you already own a Subaru, and even then, discerning the changes between years is difficult. Walk on a Subaru dealership lot with new cars mixed with used models, and it's easy to mistake a 10-year-old Forester or Outback for a spanking new version. Subaru doesn't make drastic design changes. The brand's value point is based on reliability and durability, much more than attracting attention with spiffy new profiles.
