2023 Cadillac Escalade V, 2024 Chevrolet Blazer SS EV, Nissan Navara R: a week in reverse

Riding in a 682-horsepower Cadillac Escalade V, Chevrolet unveiled a spec-less 2024 Blazer SS and saw a Nissan Navara R with the heart of a GT-R. And take a look at the Nissan Navara R with the heart of a GT-R.

In the Arizona heat, we got behind the wheel of the 2023 Cadillac Escalade V. This SUV is big in every sense of the word: Powered by a 2.7-liter supercharger, the SUV produces 682 horsepower. Available in Tahoe and Suburban sizes, and starting at $149,900, it approaches supercar territory.

Chevrolet unveiled the 2024 Blazer EV in January, and on Monday we got our first full exterior look at it in the form of the Blazer SS, ahead of its full debut on July 18. The body is influenced by the shaped gas model, but also has its own unique features, including a squared-off rear end. Stay tuned for specs.

British drifter Steve "Bugsy" Biagioni took inspiration from the Juke R to create the Navara R pickup truck. The racer is powered by a GT-R subframe and a bored-out version of the 1,000-horsepower GT-R engine. Dressed in Monster livery, the truck looks ready to compete in the next drifting event.

North Carolina-based MegaRexx Trucks has unveiled its MegaBronc, a Ford F-250 Super Duty with a Ford Bronco body. This seven-passenger monster uses Ford Expedition seating, 40-inch Atturo Trail Blade M/T tires, and is powered by the Super Duty's 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8. It is priced at $224,950.

Italian automotive customizer Aznom has announced that it will offer an electric restomod makeover for 1982 and later Minis. The car has a 14kwh battery pack, a modest 87-mile range, leather upholstery, digital instrumentation, and Eco, Normal, and Sport driving modes.
