Subaru Cuts EV Investment. A Shock Return to Next Gen Boxer Power

Subaru has taken a surprising turn in its future strategy. Instead of pushing full speed into electric vehicles, the company is shifting a big part of its 1.5 trillion yen EV budget toward new internal combustion engines and next generation hybrid systems. It is a major change driven by slowing global EV demand and steady interest in hybrids, especially in Subaru’s strongest markets.

CEO Atsushi Osaki says it makes more sense to delay large scale EV production while the market settles. Rising tariffs, especially in the United States, also played a part in the decision. Subaru still plans to launch four new BEV SUVs with Toyota by 2026, but several in house EV projects expected later in the decade may be pushed back.

The new focus is on an advanced e BOXER powertrain that pairs a redesigned boxer engine with a stronger hybrid system. Early development hints that future Forester, Crosstrek, and STI related models will use this setup. Subaru is updating the Yajima plant to build gasoline, hybrid, and electric models on the same line so it can adapt quickly to demand.

The company also plans to cut around 200 billion yen in yearly costs by 2030 through smarter manufacturing and better use of the engineering knowledge gained during EV research.

This shift shows Subaru believes the future will be a mix of technologies, not a full EV takeover. For enthusiasts who love the sound and character of a boxer engine, this may be the most exciting news from Subaru in years.

The Continental GT Supersports Is Back and Bentley Just Went Full Savage

Bentley revived the Supersports badge and turned it into something far more focused than anyone expected. The new Continental GT Supersports pushes 657 horsepower from a pure combustion setup with no hybrid support, a rare move in a world racing toward electrification.

The biggest surprise is the weight drop. Bentley stripped more than 1,000 pounds compared to the GT Speed, which completely changes how this car behaves. With power going only to the rear wheels, the Supersports aims to feel sharper, more alive and far more engaging than any recent Bentley performance model.

Production is capped at 500 cars worldwide. Pricing is expected to climb past the 300 thousand dollar mark, and even at that level demand will probably outpace supply. This model feels like Bentley’s last stand for old school performance before the brand goes fully electric.

It is loud, rare and unapologetically focused. If you wanted a luxury grand tourer that behaves like a proper driver’s car, this is the Bentley to watch.

R36 Hybrid? Nissan Might Be About to Break Godzilla’s Legacy.

Rumors around the next GT-R are getting louder, and the big topic is the hybrid system Nissan is testing behind the scenes. Several sources say the powertrain is already in late development. The setup reportedly pairs a twin turbo V6 with electric assistance aimed at filling low rpm gaps, improving response, and giving the car a smoother hit of torque.

Fans are split. Some believe hybrid tech will push the GT-R into a new era and help it keep up with modern supercars. Others feel Nissan is playing with fire. For many people, the GT-R name stands for a raw, mechanical launch that punches you in the chest. Anything electric makes them nervous.

Nissan hasn’t confirmed details, but people close to the project claim the company wants to keep the GT-R’s personality intact. Sharp steering, violent acceleration, and a strong all wheel drive feel are said to be non negotiable.

If development stays on track, a prototype could appear within the next year. When it does, the debate will get even louder. The real question is simple. Will a hybrid powered Godzilla still feel like a Godzilla?

Subaru’s New BRZ Type RA Is the JDM Surprise No One Saw Coming

Subaru has unveiled a special edition that feels like a love letter to purists. The BRZ STI Sport Type RA has arrived in Japan, and it is easily one of the most focused versions the brand has released in years. It brings back the storied RA name, a badge once reserved for machines built with one clear purpose: to chase records.

This new Type RA keeps the familiar 2.4 litre FA24 flat four, but the story is in the engineering beneath the surface. Subaru and STI reworked key internals to deliver a smoother, sharper response throughout the rev range. Pistons and connecting rods are weight matched, the crankshaft balance is enhanced, and the flywheel and clutch are revised to create a more connected feel. It is not about big horsepower gains. It is about precision, consistency, and that satisfying mechanical honesty that BRZ fans love.

The chassis receives the same level of attention. ZF dampers and STI developed flexible components tighten the car’s movements without ruining the playful rear drive character. A rear differential case fitted with cooling fins helps the car hold up under long track sessions. Subaru also added shift assist functions, including rev matching and flat shift, which makes every gear change feel cleaner and quicker.

Only 300 units will be offered. Two hundred will be the standard Type RA and one hundred will include the large rear spoiler. Prices start at 4,972,000 yen, with the spoiler version crossing 5,400,000 yen. Buyers cannot simply walk into a dealer. Subaru is running a lottery style selection because demand is expected to exceed supply by a huge margin. For now, the model is exclusive to Japan.

In a world filled with power wars and software packed sports cars, the BRZ STI Sport Type RA feels like something different. It is a reminder that feel, balance, and craftsmanship still matter. Subaru built this one for the drivers who notice the small things that make a car special.

Up Close With the Beast.
The AMG GT XX Concept at JMS 2025

The AMG GT XX Concept made its public debut at Japan Mobility Show 2025, proving that AMG is taking the next GT into a new era of performance. It sits lower and wider than the current GT 63, with a front end packed with massive air intakes and a race-inspired splitter.

Power comes from a new all-electric setup using three axial-flux motors, two at the rear and one at the front. Together they produce more than 1,000 kW, or about 1,360 horsepower. AMG claims a top speed of over 360 km/h, supported by an 800-volt high-performance battery that can add around 400 km of range in just five minutes under ideal charging conditions. With a drag coefficient of 0.198, it’s one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars AMG has ever built.

The body is made mostly of carbon fiber, visible around the diffuser and rear arches. Every line serves a purpose, from the deep side vents to the active rear wing that adjusts with speed. The thin LED taillights and sculpted rear design echo AMG’s familiar GT style but point clearly toward an electric future.

Inside, the GT XX stays all about performance. Lightweight seats, a digital cluster, and a stripped-down cockpit emphasize function over comfort. AMG hasn’t shared the 0 to 100 km/h time yet, but with over a thousand horsepower and instant torque, it’s expected to be under three seconds.

The GT XX isn’t a show car for attention. It’s a look at how AMG plans to blend racing technology with electric power in its next generation of performance cars.

Toyota’s GR GT Supercar Is About to Break Everything You Know About Japanese Cars

Toyota is back with a statement. The GR GT, the brand’s next supercar, will make its global debut on December 5, 2025, and it’s set to turn heads in the exotic car world. This is not just a new release. It’s Toyota claiming a spot among the world’s elite supercars.

Early details promise a twin-turbo V8 with hybrid assistance, targeting over 700 bhp, built on a featherlight chassis around 1,300 kg. Recent teasers and a billboard at Fuji Speedway placed the GR badge alongside legends like the 2000GT and the Lexus LFA, signaling that Toyota is serious about supercar heritage.

The GR GT is a clear message: Toyota is done playing safe. This car blends hybrid technology with raw, visceral performance, challenging European supercar makers and redefining what a Japanese exotic can be. Fans are eager to see the design, catch the live reveal, and debate how Toyota’s hybrid approach will impact pure driving thrills.

Raw RWD Monster Strips Away Hybrid Power: Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo Unleashed

Lamborghini has unveiled the Temerario Super Trofeo, a track-only beast that strips away hybrid technology and all-wheel drive in favor of raw, rear-wheel-drive excitement. Unlike its road-going sibling, which pairs a V8 with electric assistance, the Super Trofeo relies purely on a twin-turbo V8 producing 641 horsepower, offering drivers a visceral, unfiltered racing experience.

The car features a six-speed sequential gearbox, massive rear wing, and an aggressively upgraded body kit. Inside, Lamborghini has installed a full FIA-compliant roll cage and a dashboard covered in Dinamica Infinity suede, marking the first use of PES mono-component non-woven suede in automotive design. Performance enhancements include a 12-point adjustable traction control system, Capristo exhaust, BMC air filters, and KW suspension.

Weighing significantly less than the road version due to the absence of hybrid components and luxury features, the Super Trofeo promises sharp handling and thrilling dynamics. Lamborghini plans to debut it in the 2027 Super Trofeo racing season, cementing its role as a track-only icon. Enthusiasts can expect this stripped-down, adrenaline-fueled machine to define a new chapter in Lamborghini racing history.
