9. We Got the Hoonitron!
March 4, 2024
The RS e-tron GT is Audi's first foray into all-electric performance, but it isn't the car we're most excited to drive in today's episode. The Audi S1 Hoonitron is next level in every aspect -- power, handling and good old-fashioned tire-slaying performance -- and they let US drive it!

8. How Good Is the Dark Horse?
February 5, 2024
With the new eighth-generation Mustang, has the Dark Horse finally made the switch from muscle car with some sporty upgrades to being a real sports car? Jonny remains unconvinced, so he and Jeff are putting it up against a tried-and-true two-door from Porsche to see if the Ford can keep up.

January 8, 2024
Now, as we enter the winter of combustion-only vehicles and the dawn of our electrified future, both Mercedes and Cadillac have pledged to move toward a fully EV future. Mercedes has gotten the jump on Cadillac with the AMG EQE, a fully electric performance sedan, but how does it compare against the best of American combustion?

Strap on your Santa hats, Head 2 Head Drag Race Holiday Showdown is coming in like a pack of reindeer on a frozen lake. Jonny and Jeff invite some of MotorTrend's favorite talent out to compete in some fun holiday spirit-racing.
Excessive Excess
5. Excessive Excess
July 1, 2023
Not only are these two of the quickest SUVs in town, they're also among the most excessive. Nothing this big and heavy needs to go this quickly, or cost this much, or be painted this bright -- and yet here we are! On this episode, we pit the Rivian R1S against the Lamborghini Urus, and we're going to find out which is best.
Real Ultimate Driving Machine
4. Real Ultimate Driving Machine
October 2, 2023
BMW began making performance M cars over 50 years ago, coining the catchphrase "ultimate driving machine" and running with it. For many years, BMW was the undisputed fast sedan king, but in recent years things have changed. With some saying the carmaker has been focusing more on looks than performance, has BMW lost the right to wear the crown?
Small Cars, Size Matters
3. Small Cars, Size Matters
September 4, 2023
There is one area of the car market that no EV maker has yet cracked: hot hatches. They're small, nimble, fun -- all the things that EVs aren't. So, with electricity out, we turn to our old friend gasoline, and the question remains: which is the best hot hatch on the market today? The Toyota GR Corolla or the Honda Civic Type R?
Ultimate Supertruck
2. Ultimate Supertruck
August 7, 2023
If you're going to have a truck, you might as well have a supertruck. The only problem is Jeff and Jonny can't seem to decide on which is best, or even what the definition of a supertruck is! Is it all about looks? What about how it sounds? Don't forget how it drives -- can it jump? Is it all about horsepower, or torque? Can it be electric? And does it matter if it can even do truck things?
Supercars Are Different Now
1. Supercars Are Different Now
July 10, 2023
The definition of a supercar has to shift. Hypercars are still insane, and they look the part, but the idea of a supercar doesn't mean what it used to. Now, a supercar is quiet, has room for your family and friends, and can deliver spine-crunching acceleration, while still delivering exceptional range and even a luxurious driving experience.
