Frankencar, Dodge's V-8 Winding, VfinFast Wild Pickup Trucks: Reversing the Week

We designed Frankencar, Dodge announced plans to end V-8 production of the Durango, and the VinFast VF Wild and VF 3 debuted at CES 2024. The Motor Authority brings you "Week in Reverse."

We've chosen the best bits from the Motor Authority Best Car To Buy 2024 finalists to create the Frankencar of 2024. With 1,234 horsepower from a Lucid Air Sapphire electric powertrain, a screaming Corvette Z06 exhaust, and an Acura Integra Type S manual transmission, this car is a fantastic flight of fancy.

The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 trackster continued to be tested. The updated sports car is expected to feature mild cosmetic tweaks to the front and rear end and a fully digital instrument cluster inside.

The 2024 Dodge Durango SRT 392 AlcHemi was the first of Dodge's last V-8 SUVs. Dodge continued to end production of the V-8 engine and announced that this special edition would be the first in a series that would mark its end.

Just six weeks before the start of the new F1 season, Guenther Steiner left the U.S. Haas team as team principal. Steiner was replaced by the team's former engineering director, Ayao Kozu.

The VinFast VF Wild concept electric pickup truck debuted at the 2024 CES along with the VF 3 compact SUV; the VF 3 is a production subcompact model with a range of about 125 miles that could be launched in the U.S. The VF Wild concept was a preview of what a VinFast pickup truck might look like, but the model's design was closer to production-ready.
