2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse
One of the vehicles we tested this week was a track-focused variant in the redesigned 2024 Ford Mustang lineup. It’s called the Dark Horse, and it’s similar to the previous generation’s Mach 1 grade but with a performance boost.

Another electric Cadillac spotted testing this week was a mid-size SUV with third-row seats. It will bridge the gap between the two-row Lyriq mid-size SUV and electric Escalade full-sizer.
Totem GT Super
Italy’s Totem Automobili returned with a new version of its stunning restomod inspired by the original Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA homologation special of the early 1970s. Instead of the electric powertrain of its previous restomod, the new one packs a twin-turbocharged V-6 dialed to spit out as much as 750 hp.
Volkswagen Type 2 Schulwagen
And finally, one of the earliest Volkswagen Type 2 vans, better known as the Microbus, has been fully restored after it was found sitting in a Ohio barn for 43 years. This particular Bus originally belonged to VW and was used to transport training staff between dealerships when the automaker was setting up shop in America.
