While many of the cars on the market today are technologically advanced, especially when compared to models from just a few years ago, time does not stand still. Manufacturers are continually investing time and money in developing the newest and finest products. Keeping market share is a major challenge that even the biggest brands must consider in order to survive.
Increased technical innovation is a primary motivator, with efficiency, safety, and infotainment offerings constantly evolving. Buyers can decide whether to upgrade now or wait for future models by anticipating them. Here are 5 models that’ll be released over the next few years, and will shape the future of the automotive sector.
2023 Tesla Roadster
When it goes into production, the Tesla Roadster will be a new addition to the Tesla portfolio, resurrecting the moniker worn by the company’s debut model back in 2008. Tesla initially announced the sports vehicle as a 2021 model, but we haven’t heard anything since, therefore we expect the Roadster will be delayed. Tesla reports that the standard Roadster will cost $200,000, with a $50,000 premium for the limited-edition Founders Series. We don’t know what distinguishes the two, other than the fact that just 1000 Founders Series devices will be produced. If you’re a collector, it might be worth the extra money; otherwise, save your money. When further information about the car’s standard and optional features becomes available, we’ll update this story.
2023 Toyota Corolla GR
The GR Corolla will join Toyota’s portfolio in 2023, competing with popular sport compacts such as the Honda Civic Si, Hyundai Veloster N, and the 10Best award-winning Volkswagen Golf GTI and Jetta GLI. Given its pricing and horsepower, the GR Corolla is likely to compete with the top-tier hot hatches—the Volkswagen Golf R and the impending Honda Civic Type R. The new vehicle appears to be a really hot model, having a more powerful version of the engine found in the GR Yaris. A 300-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter 3-cylinder engine will power the vehicle. A Gazoo Racing all-wheel drive system will be standard, and six-speed manual transmission will help keep the drive interesting.
2023 Ferrari 296 GT3
Ferrari has unveiled the 2023 296 GT3 race vehicle. It has a 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine that meets the FIA’s GT3 technical criteria. The car is based on the street-legal 296 GTB but has been substantially reconstructed to provide dynamic handling for motorsport events. It will take the place of the 488 GT3 in the 2023 “Daytona 24 Hours” competition.
2023 Chevrolet C8 Z06
The first mid-engine Corvette Z06 will go on sale as a 2023 model when production begins in the summer of 2022. The Z06 is, as is customary, a more hardcore, track-focused version of the ordinary Vette, complete with stronger aesthetic cues and significant performance characteristics. Given the car’s performance capabilities, the 2018 Corvette Z06’s six-figure starting price is unsurprising, but it’s still a steal when compared to European supercars with comparable equipment. We’d choose the base 1LZ Coupe, but with the $8995 Z07 Performance option, which includes a calibrated suspension, Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, and high-performance Michelin Pilot Cup 2R ZP tires. Selecting this option necessitates the addition of the Carbon Aero package, which includes carbon fiber external features such as a front splitter and a rear spoiler.
2023 McLaren Artura Trophy race car
McLaren has unveiled the 2023 Artura Trophy race vehicle. Along with the 570S Trophy, it will make its debut in the one-make Pro-Am series. The vehicle is based on the road-going Artura and is powered by a powerful 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine. McLaren Racing’s trademark orange livery can be seen on the four-wheeler.
