Is This Really the Last Gas(p)?

We’ve seen your letters complaining of too much electric-vehicle coverage. Here are a dozen internal-combustion cars worth waiting for. You’re welcome.

Acura

⬆︎2023 Acura Integra With interest in 80s and 90s cars rising fast, the Integra brings back a famous name in hopes of winning over a new generation.

2024 GMA T.33 This less expensive and more accessible version of the T.50 has a naturally aspirated 607-horsepower 4.0-liter V-12 that revs to over 11,000 rpm.

2023 BMW M2 The new model will likely have over 400 horsepower from a twin-turbo inline-six, and the six-speed manual is rumored to stick around.

2024 Ford Mustang There might be an electric Mustang now, but that doesn’t mean Ford will phone in the next-gen S650 model. Here’s what to expect before it debuts next April.

⬇︎2023 Honda Civic Type R Honda confirmed that the new hot hatch will have a manual, and it’s likely to use an upgraded 2.0-liter turbo four. Hear the turbo-four’s improved soundtrack

Honda

2023 Mercedes-AMG C63 The new top version of the C-class, expected later this year, goes from having a twin-turbo V-8 to a single-turbo four-cylinder.

2023 Mazda CX-70/CX-90 Here’s what to expect from Mazda’s upcoming mid-size crossovers, the two-row CX-70 and three-row CX-90 that are both slated to debut within the next year.
⬇︎2023 Toyota GR Corolla A leaked page from Toyota’s website shows that the new performance model has AWD and a 300-hp version of the turbo 1.6-liter three-cylinder from the GR Yaris

Toyota

2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Slated to begin production this summer, the Z06 boasts the most powerful V-8 ever installed on a production car.

2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS The GT3 RS will probably be the last 9000-rpm 911 without some kind of electrification or turbochargers, but it’ll have plenty of wing.

2023 Cadillac Escalade V The super Slade has a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 and a $149,990 asking price.
