Every few years or so, Porsche gathers as many new and old race cars as it can in one place for its Rennsport Reunion. The fifth iteration of this motorsports bash took place recently at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. It’s the kind of thing that leaves one wanting a souvenir to remember it by like, say, a special-edition 911.

The Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Rennsport Reunion Edition, however, is no cheap postcard. Reserved exclusively for North America and limited to just 25 units, it’s probably about as rare as some of the race cars that inspired it.

Built by the Porsche Exclusive division, which handles customization work, the Rennsport Reunion Edition is based on the 911 Carrera GTS. That means it packs a 3.8-liter flat-six with 430 horsepower and 324 pound-feet of torque, and some additional performance upgrades like lower suspension, sport exhaust, and the Sport Chrono package.

While the standard Carrera GTS is available with both seven-speed dual-clutch PDK and manual transmissions, the Rennsport Reunion Edition is offered only with the manual. That allows it to do 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, and reach a top speed of 190 mph.

Features unique to the Rennsport Reunion Edition are mostly cosmetic, such as the graphics on the hood, sides, and decklid, and the “Fashion Grey” paint. Those elements are matched by retro-looking 20-inch “Sport Classic” wheels and other exterior bits finished in high-gloss black.

The interior features carbon-fiber dashboard trim and the same upgrades that come with the standard Carrera GTS, including a special steering wheel, interior trim, and floor mats. The GTS logo is also stitched onto the headrests in “Carmine Red,” and the seatbelts and tachometer face are done up in the same color. Buyers also get a key fob painted the same Fashion Grey color as the car, in a Carmine Red pouch.

Besides the model-specific trim, the Rennsport Reunion Edition is also fairly well equipped, boasting 18-way power front seats, a Bose audio system, and rear park assist. Then again, you’d expect that (and probably more) for the car’s starting price of $149,330 (including destination).

Mercedes-Benz G580 first drive: old-school off-roader goes electric
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

American car buyers mostly know Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand. But for decades, the automaker has also produced the tough, rugged G-Class (also known as the Geländewagen or G-Wagen), an SUV not afraid to get its leather upholstery muddy. And now, this iconic Mercedes is going electric.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology — the final name of the SUV previously known as the EQG — isn’t the first electric off-roader. The Rivian R1S and R1T and GMC Hummer EV have proven that electric powertrains and off-roading are a great combination. But the electric G-Wagen is different because it’s based on an internal-combustion model — and a very traditional one at that.

Honda believes hydrogen semi trucks will make the case for fuel cells
Honda hydrogen fuel-cell semi truck.

Honda remains committed to hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, but the market for those vehicles remains limited. So Honda is looking at other uses for fuel cells -- including commercial trucks.

To show how that could work, Honda converted a semi truck to fuel-cell power, replacing its diesel engine with three fuel-cell modules. Together, the three modules produce a combined 321 horsepower, and can propel the truck to a top speed of 70 mph. There's enough onboard hydrogen storage capacity for a 400-mile range with a full load, Honda claims.

Mercedes-Benz G580 vs Rivian R2: Is the much cheaper Rivian actually better?
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

Mercedes-Benz has finally taken the wraps off of the new "Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but it's basically a new electric G-Wagon. It looks a lot like the G-Wagon you know and love, but with an electric powertrain and a battery. It's not the only electric SUV out there, however, and there are some great ones -- like the Rivian R2.

Both the Mercedes G580 and the Rivian R2 have a lot going for them, but they also approach the electric SUV slightly differently. Is one better than the other? I put the two head-to-head to find out.

The approach that the two vehicles take to design is quite different -- and you might like one better than the other.
