It was revealed as a one-off at last year’s SEMA auto show, but now, Petty’s Garage will team up with Ford to do a limited production run of its 627 horsepower show car.

“We received a tremendous amount of positive feedback about our Petty’s Garage Mustang GT displayed at the SEMA show,” said Jeff Whaley, Petty’s Garage COO. “With so much interest, we began to explore the possibility of building a limited run of the Petty’s Garage Mustang GT.”

Those voices were definitely heard, and now 143 units of the fastback are in the works, and it will come in two versions.

The first version, dubbed “Stage 1, will have loads of custom mods like a modified rear fascia with a race-inspired spoiler and a center-exiting exhaust. Floor mats and Richard Petty’s signature round out the interior tweaks. The whole package rides on custom 20-inch Petty’s Garage HRE FlowForm wheels.

Under the hood, the engine is equipped with a Ford Racing/Rouch supercharger and a cold air intake. It also receives a custom calibration and it affixed to a MagnaFlow exhaust system, upping the power of the 5.0-liter V8 to 627 horsepower.

These will make up the first 100 units while the remaining 43 will be the Stage 2 version, which will have everything the Stage 1 has, but will also include a Petty’s Garage Wilwood big brake upgrade, three-piece forged aluminum wheels, and a custom two-tone paint job.

Anyone wishing to scoop one up can do so by ordering either version from any Ford dealership. The Stage 1’s will start at $62,210 while the Stage 2’s will run $92,210.

Xpeng L03

Xpeng’s latest electric vehicle carries enough processing power to make the term "smart car" actually sound more realistic than it actually is. The new Xpeng L03 debuted simultaneously in Europe and China on July 16, with the company presenting it across 65 markets. Available as a fully electric vehicle and an L03 Power X range-extender, the coupe-SUV is Xpeng’s most internationally focused model so far. Market-specific prices and sales dates remain unannounced.

A new sodium battery posts wild four-minute charging numbers, but don’t expect it in an EV yet
The breakthrough could improve fast charging and battery life, but the study hasn’t demonstrated those results in a production-sized pack
EV Charger

A new sodium-metal battery has posted a charging number that makes today’s EVs look painfully slow. In laboratory testing, the cell operated at a 15C rate, equivalent to completing a charge or discharge in roughly four minutes.

That doesn’t mean researchers plugged in an electric car and watched it fill up before the driver finished buying coffee. The result came from a small experimental cell using a new quasi-solid electrolyte, while the larger pouch-cell prototype delivered far less dramatic performance.

The Apple Car may be dead, but it became the foundation of Apple Intelligence
A decade of work on a canceled car project reportedly laid the groundwork for Apple Intelligence.
Apple Intelligence in Apple Car

The Apple Car may have never left the garage, but it apparently gave birth to Apple's AI ambitions. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple's canceled autonomous vehicle project, one that consumed more than a decade of work and over $10 billion before being scrapped in 2024, ended up laying the technological foundation for Apple Intelligence. In a rather ironic twist, one of Apple's most expensive failures may also become one of its most important long-term investments.
