Five Four-Door Cars That Outpace the C8 Corvette

A roundup finds five four-door family cars that beat the base C8 Corvette Stingray in acceleration: Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, Rivian R1T/R1S (quad‑motor), BMW M3 Competition xDrive, Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric, and Tesla Model 3 Performance. These four‑doors post roughly 0–60 times from about 2.1–3.0 seconds and quarter‑mile ETs around 9.5–11.0 seconds, illustrating how modern, practical performance vehicles can outpace the older Corvette on drag tests. The list covers both EVs and a pure ICE option, notes price ranges (from around $55k to well over $100k, with Cayenne EV near $165k), and relies on instrumented tests against the 2020 Corvette Stingray data, acknowledging newer Corvette models may shift the comparisons.

The Unbuilt Four-Door 911 That Preceded Porsche Sedans

In 1967, a Texas dealer hired Troutman & Barnes to stretch a Porsche 911 S into a rare four-door, rear-hinged sedan—an early one-off that Porsche itself never built. The piece frames this quirky project within Porsche’s broader history of sedan efforts, including the 989 concept, the 928 four-door, the Mercedes-Benz 500E collaboration, the Audi RS2, and the Panamera.

"Ford's Decision to Prioritize Explorer Sport Tracs Leaves Ranger Double Cab Fans Disappointed"

Ford chose not to sell the four-door version of the third-generation Ranger in the U.S., despite offering it in Latin American markets. While other automakers were selling four-door compact trucks, Ford focused on selling the Explorer Sport Trac instead. The Sport Trac, however, did not have the same staying power as its rivals. Ford's decision to prioritize selling the Explorer over the four-door Ranger was likely driven by its desire to promote larger SUVs like the Explorer. The quirky and anachronistic double cab Ranger, with its unique design and turbocharged diesel engine, remains a favorite among truck enthusiasts.
