It all started with a look back.

Ford’s upcoming Mustang GT350 is one of the most highly anticipated cars of the year, so the American automaker has launched a five-part teaser series to preview the vehicle’s unveiling next week.

The first film dropped on November 3rd, commencing a historical overview of Ford’s storied racing past. From the legendary GT40 galloping around the track, to a rally-spec Focus gallivanting through the dirt, to a 24-hour endurance racer holding a tight line, it was all there. Consider the groundwork for the new Mustang GT350 laid.

“[The car is] very driver oriented, it’s very track oriented, and that’s been the heritage of this vehicle,” said Raj Nair of Ford Global Product Development. “We knew we wanted to be extremely free-revving; we wanted to have low inertia. Obviously [we wanted to] develop a lot of horsepower, and develop a lot of horsepower-per-liter so be efficient. And also be lightweight.”

The latest video, the fourth of five, harkens back to the iconic GT40 to explain the new car, which should be enough to send classic Ford enthusiasts into a nervous frenzy.

“When you look at the front end, and the nose, and what we’ve done with the hood and the front end styling, it just says to you: I’m mean, I’m raw, and I want to go,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford Executive VP.

While the company doesn’t mention the GT350 by name in the video, only calling it “a new performance sports car coming soon from Ford,” the race-bred Mustang has been rumored for months.

In September, we reported that Ford had developed an entirely new engine for the car, a 5.2-liter flat-plane crank V8. The powerplant is expected to produce something in the ballpark of 600 horsepower, and allows for quicker revving and higher top-end thrust.

The Shelby-designed muscle car looks to focus on handling and track prowess over straight-line speed as well, so put it all together and it’s pretty clear that this isn’t your average Mustang. Stay tuned for more updates as we race toward the car’s November 17th reveal.

Rivian R2 vs. Kia EV9: battle of affordable electric SUVs
Kia EV9 GT-Line Three Quarters

The long-awaited Rivian R2 has finally been announced, and it's an excellent option for those who want an electric SUV that doesn't completely break the bank. Sure, the R2 isn't cheap -- but it's a whole lot cheaper than most other EVs out there, especially when it comes to SUVs. But Rivian isn't the only company trying to tackle the problem of the budget electric SUV. The Kia EV9 is finally available, and it too offers a modern design and a range of helpful features.

Given the fact that the Rivian R2 and Kia EV9 are two electric SUVs in a similar price range, you might be wondering which is better for your needs. That's why we put the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 head-to-head.
Design
Both the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 are actual SUVs -- not crossovers pretending to be SUVs, like plenty of other EVs out there. The two vehicles offer big, boxy designs and plenty of interior space, making them excellent options for families or those who need that extra storage.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
