Honda and Acura unveil next-gen hybrids aimed at US market

Honda and Acura teased next-generation hybrid prototypes with a new platform, promising over 10% better fuel efficiency. The Honda sedan and Acura SUV are set to go on sale within two years, primarily in the US as part of a broader North American push. Honda aims for 15 hybrid models by 2030 and expects cost reductions with a new powertrain, funded by about 4.4 trillion yen (~$28B) for hybrids/gas models, plus roughly 0.8 trillion yen (~$5B) for future EVs; meanwhile, several EVs were canceled and Honda will continue EVs in Japan/Asia while reassessing the US strategy.

Lamborghini’s Fenomeno roadster roars into exclusivity with 1,080hp and a €5m price tag

Lamborghini unveils the Fenomeno roadster, a 1,080‑hp hybrid V12 open‑top limited to 15 units priced around €5 million (plus taxes); invitations are extended to loyal customers for delivery in the first half of 2028. Building on the Fenomeno coupé, it emphasizes a “feel like a pilot” ethos, with a carbon-tub architecture derived from the Revuelto and all‑new subframes. It’s pitched as a GT hypercar rather than a track car, aimed at collectors who typically drive very little (often under 300 miles a year).

Kia Sets Sights on U.S. Midsize Pickup With Hybrid and Extended-Range EV by 2030

Kia announced plans to offer a U.S. midsize body-on-frame pickup by 2030 with conventional hybrid and extended-range EV powertrains; a teaser image hints at a double-cab design, though EV specifics aren’t confirmed in the latest statement. The plan supports CEO Ho Sung Song’s goal of roughly 90,000 yearly sales and 7% market share in the segment by 2034, and Kia’s broader aim to reach about 1 million EVs by 2030. The truck would be Kia’s first body-on-frame model in the U.S. since the Borrego and would compete with Tacoma, Colorado, and Ranger.

Temerario Tested: 907hp V8 hybrid with epic revs, still chasing V10 romance

Temerario Tested: 907hp V8 hybrid with epic revs, still chasing V10 romance

Lamborghini’s Temerario blends a 3.0kWh battery and three electric motors with a 3.995L twin‑turbo V8 to deliver 907hp and 0–62mph in 2.7s, redlining at 10,000rpm for sonic and performance drama, while weighing in at around 1,690kg dry; on real roads it’s ferociously capable with sharp aero and precise shifts, yet the sound at lower revs and the overall weight temper its theatrics compared with the old V10 era, even as Sport mode and strong brakes keep the drive thrilling and highly interactive.

Valhalla Ditches Reverse Gear, Uses Front Electric Motors for Backward Drive

Aston Martin’s 2026 Valhalla pairs a V8 with three electric motors: two front motors drive each front wheel for torque vectoring and can spin in reverse when the gearbox is in neutral to provide reverse, while a rear motor engages the even gear shaft to offer electric assist across all gears via a permanently engaged dual-clutch transmission. This design reduces the need for a traditional reverse gear and leverages regenerative braking and engine-generated power to maintain performance.

Chevy Corvette ZR1X: 1,250-HP Hybrid Hypercar at a Relative Bargain

Chevrolet’s Corvette ZR1X uses a mid-mounted hybrid system to deliver about 1,250 hp, a 0–60 time of 1.7 seconds, and a 233 mph top speed, starting at $207,000. The battery sits in the center console and is recharged via regenerative braking (no plug needed); front-wheel electrification adds traction for all‑wheel drive, plus an F1-style push‑to‑pass and PTM modes for track use. It’s a high‑performance, driver-focused alternative to Ferrari and McLaren that blends raw power with Corvette practicality.
