  • Supercars Are Different Now
    E1
    Supercars Are Different NowThe definition of a supercar has to shift. Hypercars are still insane, and they look the part, but the idea of a supercar doesn't mean what it used to. Now, a supercar is quiet, has room for your family and friends, and can deliver spine-crunching acceleration-while still delivering exceptional range and even a luxurious driving experience. Don't agree? This one might change your mind.
  • Ultimate Supertruck
    E2
    Ultimate SupertruckIf you're going to have a truck, you might as well have a supertruck. The only problem is Jeff and Jonny can't seem to decide on which is best, or even what the definition of a supertruck is! Is it all about looks? What about how it sounds? Don't forget how it drives -- can it jump? Is it all about horsepower, or torque? Can it be electric? And does it matter if it can even do truck things?
  • Small Cars, Size Matters
    E3
    Small Cars, Size MattersThere is one area of the car market that no EV maker has yet cracked: hot hatches. They're small, nimble, fun... all the things that EVs aren't. So, with electricity out, we turn to our old friend gasoline, and the question remains: Which is the best hot hatch on the market today? The Toyota GR Corolla or the Honda Civic Type R?
  • Real Ultimate Driving Machine
    E4
    Real Ultimate Driving MachineBMW began making performance M cars over 50 years ago, coining the catchphrase "ultimate driving machine" and running with it. For many years BMW was the undisputed fast sedan king, but in recent years things have changed. With some saying the carmaker has been focusing more on looks rather than performance, has BMW lost the right to wear the crown?
  • Excessive Excess
    E5
    Excessive ExcessNot only are these two of the quickest SUVs in town, they're also among the most excessive. Nothing this big and heavy needs to go this quickly, or cost this much, or be painted this bright-and yet here we are. This time, we pit the Rivian R1S against the Lamborghini Urus, and we're going to find out which is best.
  • Holiday Showdown
    E6
    Holiday ShowdownStrap on your Santa hats, Head 2 Head Drag Race HOLIDAY SHOWDOWN is coming in like a pack of reindeer on a frozen lake. Jonny and Jeff invite some of MotorTrend's favorite talent out to compete in some fun holiday spirit-racing.

  • How Good Is the Dark Horse?
    E8
    How Good Is the Dark Horse?With the new eighth-generation Mustang, has the Dark Horse finally made the switch from muscle car with some sporty upgrades to being a real sports car? Jonny remains unconvinced, so he and Jeff are putting it up against a tried-and-true two-door from Porsche to see if the Ford can keep up.
  • We Got the Hoonitron!
    E9
    We Got the Hoonitron!The RS e-tron GT is Audi's first foray into all-electric performance, but it isn't the car we're most excited to drive in today's episode. The Audi S1 Hoonitron is next level in every aspect -- power, handling and good old-fashioned tire-slaying performance -- and they let US drive it.
