2023 Ford Mustang Mach 1 – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] Since its introduction in 1964, the Ford Mustang has continued to push the limits of design, performance, culture and subculture. It seems to fit in no matter where it goes, whether it’s in Hollywood or an underground car meet. And though Ford seems to offer countless unique Mustang variants, there’s one version that stands…

2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] Cadillac‘s new twin-turbocharged six-cylinder CT4-V Blackwing represents the pinnacle of GM’s 11 decades of car-making. The sports-sedan easily reaches 60mph in 3.9 seconds, which, measured against other petroleum powered cars, is quite impressive. It’s equally impressive that a car this fast can also be so placid and enjoyable to drive. That said, there’s no…

Designing the New 2022 Rivian R1S – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] The electric vehicle brand Rivian continues to impress car enthusiasts thanks to its performance, technology and materials. Compared with other EV brands and legacy carmakers in the space, Rivians don’t look quite like anything else on the road—a fact that’s somewhat surprising considering the company’s CEO, RJ Scaringe, is renowned for being pragmatic. We…

2022 Subaru WRX – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] The Subaru WRX is a car for the PlayStation generation—quite literally. It was thanks to the success of racing games like Sony’s Gran Turismo that helped convince Subaru to release its high-performance WRX in the North American market. And as that generation of gamers grew up, so did the WRX. Through the years, Subaru’s…

2023 Nissan Z – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] When driving the 2023 Nissan Z at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and through the surrounding mountains, we’re called back to the era when the 240Z and later the 280Z were all the rage in the US. It’s been a long time since then and the entire landscape of car-making has changed considerably, yet…

2022 Audi S8 – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] The Audi S8 has held a special place in the hearts and minds of many since Larry very specifically asked for one as the getaway vehicle in director John Frankenheimer’s 1998 film, Ronin. At the time Audi was still rebuilding their brand image due to lingering memories of the 5000 fiasco, and the S8 starring…

2020 Porsche 718 Cayman – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] We’ve been (temporarily) handed the keys to some remarkably exclusive and outrageous sports cars, but the truth remains: we’re most satisfied by simplicity. And nobody does simple like German automakers, especially Porsche. The brand has a very particular way of making entertainment a function of all their cars, from entry-level to ultra-luxury. Such is…

The 2021 Ford Bronco Exists at The Intersection of Heritage + Insight – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] The iconic Ford Bronco is back after a 25-year hiatus. Available in 2021 as a two-door, four-door or a smaller Sport model, the Bronco badge now represents customization and innovation as much as capability. Design and engineering teams shook up their typical creative and development process and the results are stunning. Ford has done…

Inside the 2020 Corvette with Brett Golliff, Global Design Manager – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] “Nobody needs a Corvette for its function; they need it for its emotion,” Brett Golliff, Global Color and Trim Design Manager for Chevrolet at General Motors, explains to us. “They need it because it speaks for them; they need it because it brings something else out in them.” The all new, eighth-generation 2020 Corvette…

Previewing Volkswagen’s 2022 Golf GTI – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] Come 2022, the base Volkswagen Golf will, sadly, no longer be sold in the USA. While this is a design story about the 2022 Golf GTI, it’s important to understand that the Golf—which has been available in the USA since the 1970s—won’t be available in this part of the world because when Americans purchase…

2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] Barreling through a mud pit filled with dark, soupy water is a bad idea. Particularly if you’re in a convertible. While that’s common knowledge, the particular convertible we do this in is a Jeep pickup: the 2020 Gladiator Mojave, a special model designed to blast over ruts and rough ground at high speeds. And…

2020 BMW M8 Competition Coupe – COOL HUNTING®
[ad_1] Sometimes a car can hit your eye exactly right; the 2020 BMW M8 Competition is one of those cars. At nearly 16 feet long, and with only two doors, its stretched-out proportions look like something a talented 10-year-old car fanatic might draw: exaggerated in such a way that the dimensions are simply right. We…
