Nissan Z, Volvo EX90, "Last Call" Dodge Challenger Black Ghost: The Week in Reverse

Nissan's new Z has problems, Volvo's XC90 successor has been given a name, and another "last call" Dodge has been revealed. In this article, we report on Nissan's announcement that it is discontinuing the new Z. [Specifically, only the Z with the optional automatic transmission will be affected. The vehicle's transmission may not engage the parking pawl when shifting into park, causing the Z to roll over. Corrective measures are currently being implemented.

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 S E Performance made a splash with its turbo-4 plug-in hybrid powertrain. With 671 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque, the new C 63 will not be short on power, but it may lack fire and fury when it comes to exhaust note now that it has four cylinders.

The electric successor to the Volvo XC90 will be called the EX90. Volvo confirmed the name and said the electric crossover SUV will be revealed on November 9. The EX90, which will be built on Volvo's next-generation SPA platform, aims to be the safest car on the road.

The successor to the 2023 Lamborghini Aventador continues public road testing. Spotted in prototype form, the next-generation supercar will feature a hybrid V12 powertrain and an evolved design. It is expected to be unveiled later this year or in early 2023.

A sixth "last call" buzz model came to light this week: the 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost, which pays homage to the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE (with Gator Skin-style vinyl roof) owned by Detroit police officer Godfrey Quarles ), which was owned by Detroit police officer Godfrey Quarles. Only 300 units will be produced based on the Hellcat Red Eye widebody, but output will be increased by 10 hp, for a total of 807 hp.
