A 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, with GM President and former Holden CEO Mark Reuss at the wheel, has set a new record to become the fastest car from an American manufacturer. The caveat is that the record regards current production cars priced under US$1 million, thus excluding most of the low-volume, big-dollar supercars from the US and Europe. On the High-Speed Oval Track at Automotive Testing Papenburg (ATP) in Papenburg, Germany, a team led by Reuss set a two-way average speed of 233mph (374.9km/h), making the ZR1 variant of the mid-engined, eighth-generation Corvette the fastest production car GM has ever built. Chevrolet engineers had previously used the same facility at Papenburg to set top speeds for the sixth- and seventh-generation Corvette ZR1, as well as the sixth-generation Camaro ZL1. Chevrolet…

The annual ‘World’s Largest Collector Car Auction’ held by Mecum each January in Kissimmee, Florida, certainly lives up to its name. The 2024 Kissimmee sale saw 4,000 vehicles offered, with 4,500 expected at the 2025 auction, which runs from 7 to 19 January. Obviously, with an auction that large, the consignments will be diverse, but few are truly unique. This January, there will be one that qualifies for that description. At Kissimmee 2025, Mecum will offer the E-type ‘Shaguar’ made famous by the Austin Powers film franchise. Unlike most other movies, where multiple cars are built for various production requirements, like stunts, distance shots and close-ups, only one Shaguar was built for Austin Powers, with the same car used for all three films. YEAH, BABY! One of the most memorable…

The Geoghegan name is once again leading the way in Australian motorsport, with Max Geoghegan victorious in the 2024 Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia GR Cup (formerly the Toyota 86 Series). Taking home $50,000 in addition to the 2024 championship trophy, the 21-year-old was also victorious in the second-tier TGRA GR Cup Scholarship Series. The grandson of five-time Australian Touring Car Champion Ian ‘Pete’ Geoghegan, Max made his TGRA GR Cup debut in 2023 after spending a year in the Excel Cup - his first circuit racing of any kind. Even before he’d completed his second season in the TGRA GR Cup, Geoghegan’s improvement was recognised by the Erebus Academy, who signed him to their driver development programme in August. In something of a Bradbury-esque performance, Geoghegan never led the 2024…

At the 2024 United States Formula 1 Grand Prix, held at Circuit of the Americas (CotA) in Texas, the McLaren F1 team unveiled a suitably all-American car. The 1973 Plymouth Barracuda presented by McLaren had been upgraded in several areas as part of a special project with team partners, eBay, ahead of the US F1 round. Purchased from eBay, the classic Plymouth pony car was then modified with a range of new parts, all of which were sourced through eBay Motors. Following its completion, the car was driven to CotA by McLaren team driver Lando Norris and displayed at the McLaren garage throughout the GP weekend. After the grand prix, the car went to auction with eBay as a fundraiser for the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). Founded in 1950…
