This month’s issue is a celebration of all things American. And what better cover star than the incredible YENKO/SC® version of the first true all-American sports car? Chevrolet’s Corvette, which is now reimagined for the C8 era.
Boasting twin-turbocharged powertrains capable of 1,000 and 1,250 horsepower, and available in customizable coupe and convertible models, these exclusive editions blend the Corvette’s muscle-car heritage with cutting-edge engineering and performance. But what comes next? I look into Corvette’s future – including a new design studio in the United Kingdom. This full-circle move honors the original ethos as America’s answer to European sports cars. This latest concept, featuring Stingray–inspired split windows, looks simply stunning.
In our DRIVE section, road tester Gabriel Vega Cortés climbs behind the wheel of one of the most eagerly anticipated ultra-luxury cars in recent memory: the Cadillac Celestiq. Decades in the making, its arrival feels nearly as long as the car itself. I got a close look at one during the launch of Cadillac’s Formula 1 team, which I investigate as General Motors prepares to take on Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull. Meanwhile, Gabriel also hits the track himself for some hilarious fun in Radford Racing School’s fleet of Dodge muscle cars.
In LIVE, surfing legend Rob Machado speaks with Edward Jones about Rogue Van Company’s Rogue Wave, which may be the ultimate “surf-rig.” On the innovation front, I speak with luxury real estate mogul Gil Dezer about his patented Dezervator car elevator, now integrated into the Porsche Design Tower and upcoming Bentley Residences. And Jordan Aquistapace’s curated selection of all-American luxury products spans everything from chrome pool tables to watches, cigars, handcrafted guns and tactical knives.
Finally, in SELL, we present a handpicked selection of the world’s finest exotic,classic, and luxury automobiles – each one ready for the most discerning collectors. Andrew Riedell also explores the American cars truly lighting up the auction block, led by the legendary Ford GT40 and unmistakable Shelby Cobra.
So saddle up! This issue is a wide-open-throttle tribute to American horsepower, heritage, innovation, and the pursuit of extraordinary luxury.
Happy reading, and as always, drive safely!
