Bugatti May Rebuild A 20-Year-Old Legend, But Don’t Even Dream Of Buying It

Image
Bugatti may build a Veyron tribute as a one-off Solitaire model. Rumored debut set for January 22, exactly 20 years after launch. Design might copy original red, black, and beige 2005 Veyron. Bugatti’s bespoke Solitaire program began making headlines last September with the reveal of the W16-powered Brouillard , a one-off hypercar inspired by the Mistral. Positioned as the program’s first creation, it set the tone for what’s shaping up to be a series of ultra-exclusive models. Now, the next chapter appears to be forming with a rumored homage to the Veyron, the car that arguably redefined modern hypercar expectations. The Veyron’s Legacy The Veyron marked a turning point not just for Bugatti, but for the automotive world at large. It entered production in 2005 after years of conceptual teasing, realizing Ferdinand Piech’s grand dream: a hypercar that could be the fastest in the world without sacrificing comfort, reliability, or luxury. It brought several world first...

People Laughed At The Mustang GTD’s Price, Then Bought Hundreds Anyway

Image
Mustang GTD buyers spent supercar money and still wanted more. GTD production isn’t capped but only confirmed through 2026. Track-ready GTD uses 815 hp V8, aero, and race-tuned suspension. For a car that shares its name with a muscle coupe often found at your local rental counter, the Mustang GTD has managed to stir up reactions that range from disbelief to admiration. When Ford announced that prices for the GTD would start at more than $325,000 , and that a few well-chosen options could lift that figure above $400,000, many were quick to scoff. The question practically wrote itself: why would anyone pay over $325,000 more for a Mustang when they could walk into a Porsche dealership and drive out in a 911 GT3 RS, or pick up a Ferrari 296 GTB for roughly the same amount?

NJ Drivers Risk A $1,000 Fine If They Don’t Stick To This One Winter Habit

Image
New Jersey law requires drivers to clear all snow from cars. Fines start at $25 but rise if snow causes damage or injury. Rule was inspired by a fatal accident nearly 30 years ago. Winter in the Northeast can turn the average parked car into an accidental snow sculpture. Some end up looking almost graceful, others downright ridiculous, but they all share one thing in common: they’re illegal to drive without a proper brush-down . Now, New Jersey state officials are reminding drivers that snow and ice must be removed from the entire vehicle before heading out, not just a tiny porthole in the windshield that barely reveals the road. That means clearing the windows roof hood and trunk. Failure to get rid of the white stuff can land you with a big fine, and could potentially land another driver in hospital, or worse.

Stellantis Can’t Get Rid Of 2024 Dodges, And It’s Not The Only One With Leftovers

Image
U.S. inventory topped 3 million vehicles in November 2025. Dodge Hornet PHEV still has 82.1% of 2024 stock unsold. Dealers are discounting old stock but prices remain high. Figuring out the right time to buy a new car is rarely straightforward, with the best moment often hinging on brand-wide promotions or even a particular model. Still, if your finances are in good order, shopping ahead of a model-year changeover can work in your favor. Dealers are typically motivated to clear out aging inventory, which can translate into steep discounts. Right now, the volume of unsold 2024 and 2025 models in the US remains unusually high. Read: Nobody Wants These 2024 Models And Dealers Are Drowning In Inventory As we reported in early December, many car dealerships across the United States are dealing with a glut of inventory, with 2024 and 2025 models stacking up on showroom floors and struggling to move.
