2023 Honda Civic Type R, Z06 strapped to the dyno and Lucid Gravity: The Week in Reverse

A Chevrolet Corvette Z06 on the dyno in a 2023 Honda Civic Type R, and Lucid gives an update on Gravity. And Lucido gives an update on Gravity.

We got behind the wheel of the 2023 Honda Ciivc Type R on a soaking wet track and discovered that the hot hatch has grown up. With more power, improved suspension, and a sleeker design, the latest Type R hot hatch may not be flashy to look at, but it will put a smile on your face.

Genesis showed off the X Convertible Concept in Malibu. This stunning drop-top electric concept car is the latest in a lineup of X Speediums and X Concepts that foreshadow Genesis' future design language.

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was strapped to the dyno and produced 610 hp and 419 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. This compares to the factory crank output of 670 hp and 460 lb-ft. This test demonstrates the impressive performance Chevrolet has extracted from its high-output, naturally aspirated V-8 engines.

The redesigned 2023 Toyota Prius lineup debuted with more power, improved fuel economy, and an attractive design. This sleek hybrid now gets up to 57 mpg combined and is said to increase output from a merged 121 hp to 194 hp.

According to the startup automaker, the Lucid Gravity electric SUV came into focus with a production date set for 2024. With three rows of seating for up to eight passengers, the Gravity will be a large crossover based on the Air sedan platform.
