The 2021 Ford Bronco has entered production and will reach reservation holders in the coming weeks. Production was delayed due to coronavirus-related supplier issues, and SUVs equipped with the off-road-focused Sasquatch package and seven-speed manual transmission are still delayed until next year. The Bronco is available in six trim levels starting at $29,995 for the two-door model.The arrival of the new Ford Bronco off-road SUV was delayed due to coronavirus-related supplier issues, but now production has started, Ford has announced. The two- and four-door Broncos are coming off the assembly line at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant and will reach customers who reserved them in the coming weeks.
These Broncos are for the 2021 model year and are filling more than 125,000 customer orders from reservation holders, Ford says. The 2022 model year will begin production at the end of the year, so future reservation holders will likely have to wait until next year. Still delayed until next year are Broncos ordered with the off-road-focused Sasquatch package, which adds 35-inch tires, heavy-duty Bilstein shock absorbers, and a manual transmission.

The Bronco debuted last summer in two- and four-door versions with removable doors and roofs, targeting the Jeep Wrangler. The Bronco comes standard with a 300-hp turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. A seven-speed manual is available. There’s also a 330-hp twin-turbo 2.7-liter V-6, but it’s only available with the automatic. Pricing starts at $29,995 for the two-door model and $34,695 for the four-door, and six trim levels are available with varying equipment. There are also more than 200 factory-installed accessories available. Some Ford dealers will build dedicated Bronco showrooms, according to an earlier report.

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is likely to be the most extreme sports car ever to be assembled in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Thanks to the folks at Barrett-Jackson, one lucky collector will have a chance to take home the first retail production example at the firm’s 2022 Scottsdale auction. Unveiled in October 2021, the new Z06 packs a 5.5-liter LT6 V-8 with dual overhead cams and a flat-plane crankshaft. It’s the most potent atmospheric V-8 to enter production. The motor provides an unmatched 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque while revving to 8600 rpm. Combined with revised bodywork and other C8.R-derived tweaks, the car promises to shake up the current supercar landscape.The first Z06 will be sold no reserve as Lot 3009 at the Scottsdale auction and should cross the block at approximately 10:30 p.m. ET on January 29. The full selling price of the car will go to the Operation Homefront charity, which helps U.S. military families in need.Chevrolet is no stranger to selling off some of its more special Corvette models at Barrett-Jackson, specifically in the name of charity. In fact, some of the most important Corvettes in recent history followed the same path as this upcoming 2023 Z06. In 2019, the final front-engine Corvette ever built was sold at the Barrett-Jackson Northeast auction. The car in question was a Z06 model finished in black and was purchased by Dan Snyder of Snyder Motorsports for $2.9 million. At Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale 2020 event, the first production C8 Corvette was sold to Rick Hendrick for $3 million. That sale set a record for the largest amount of money ever spent on a Barrett-Jackson charity car. The proceeds from each sale benefited the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation and the Detroit Children’s Fund, respectively. While both of those machines were historically significant, neither had the same sort of performance on offer as this latest Corvette creation. As with the first C8 auction back in 2020, we don’t know exactly how this car will be optioned at this time. The buyer of this Z06 will instead have the ability to spec the car as they see fit. With the new generation being the most customizable variant yet, that involves the choice between 12 different exterior colors, as well as seven different interior and wheel packages. Barrett-Jackson hasn’t listed an official VIN from General Motors at this time, but the words “first retail production example” might suggest it won’t carry the #001 tag.

This particularly special Z06 isn’t going to come cheap. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to see this thing become the most expensive of the aforementioned bunch.

Toyota and Lexus have used the term “self-charging hybrid” in their European marketing for years now, but now Norway wants to stop it, claiming it’s misleading and confusing to consumers. That’s because the technology in question is just your regular gas-electric hybrid powertrain. Kia has also called its Niro hybrid “self-charging” in European marketing. It’s […] More

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced a plan to ban sales of gasoline- and diesel-powered passenger cars in the U.K. beginning in 2035. That’s five years earlier than a previous commitment by the U.K., and it also adds even hybrid vehicles to the banned list, leaving only full electric cars as an option. There were […] More

Jaguar is continuing to bid farewell to the F-type with another special-edition model called the ZP Edition.The F-type is scheduled to end production in 2024, and 150 of these special editions will be built.The F-type will be the last gas-powered sports car from the British automaker as it transitions to an electric lineup.If you thought the 75th Anniversary version of the Jaguar F-type was the last gasp of the British sports car, think again. Before it goes away for good, the F-type will spawn yet another special edition, this time the racing-inspired ZP Edition that features color combinations from historic E-type racing cars.Only 150 ZP Editions will be built in total before production officially ends next year. They will be split between coupe and convertible body styles. The first color combination consists of an Oulton Blue exterior along with a red and black leather interior. The other is a Crystal Gray exterior hue with a navy blue and black interior. The ZP cars are also emblazoned with white roundels on the doors, just like old racing cars. These are the same liveries found on the series of restored E-types that Jaguar Classic released earlier this year that were made to commemorate that sports car’s debut and initial racing victories in 1961.JaguarJaguarJaguarJaguarOther special touches for the F-type ZP cars include a white grille surround, special trim for the leather seats, and badges for the wheels, fenders, side sill plates, and dashboard. There will also be a plaque denoting the cars as 1 of 150. All ZP models will be equipped with the F-type’s top powertrain, a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 with 575 horsepower paired with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic.More on the F-TypeSenior EditorDespite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee.
