Hottest cars of 2020 that turned cold due to Covid-19

A total Ferrari production halt on March 14 included production of the 611-horsepower, V8 Roma, which was supposed to roll into dealerships toward the end of the year. By Hannah Elliott and Kyle Stock At least three years and about $1 billion. That’s roughly what it takes to make a new vehicle, from drafting table to dealerships. Car companies live and die by that long-range gamble—but every once in a while, the bet coincides with an economic disaster. The coronavirus pandemic and its attendant recession may be the worst time to launch a car since, well, since we’ve had cars. Selling a Model A was a tough task during the Great Depression, but at least dealerships were open and some assembly lines still humming. The global auto industry of 2020 is witnessing an unprecedented, near-instantaneous drop in demand as potential customers steer clear of car lots, and dealers close up shop to comply with public health mandates. Volkswagen, Honda, Hyundai, and Mazda each reported a more than 40% decline in U.S. sales last month. For the year, S&P expects global auto sales to plummet almost 15%. For sales of the most anticipated cars of 2020, the timing couldn’t be worse. In a normal economy, the first few months for any shiny new machine are relative magic. Overeager customers clamor for the fanciest, most profitable versions, and dealers seldom have to offer discounts or incentives. Now, every sale (done online or over the phone) will be considered a coup. What’s more, the newest machines aren’t just grocery getters—they’re the result of product decisions made during one of the industry’s hottest streaks—the fruits of bull market research and development. Many are bold bids for incremental business, niche cars that might not have received a green light in a shakier economy. Among them are a few futuristic electric vehicles, which suddenly must contend with some of the lowest gas prices on record. Others are six-figure speed machines that were banking on Wall Street bonuses and swelling stock markets, neither of which seem likely in 2020. What follows are some of most needle-moving whips rolled out in years—all for a pre-coronavirus world. With would-be buyers now focused on the grave crisis at hand, this is less a preview of automaker glory than a wistful look at what might have been. SUVs The much-anticipated new Land Rover Defender launches this year with the historic brand’s manufacturing sites shuttered. While the vehicle’s release remains on schedule, the first media test drives planned for April were predictably canceled. The good news for the British automaker though is that the off-road rig, a stalwart of British royalty for four decades, got a fair amount of publicity last year: The Defender’s official debut took place at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, and it has been making the rounds on Instagram ever since. Along with the Defender, the reborn Ford Bronco is one of the most hyped vehicles in years. In 1996, Ford parked the Bronco name (which dates back to the mid-1960s) after O.J. Simpson provided the worst kind of publicity. In subsequent years, the seminal SUV became a design icon and collector’s item as Jeep took over ownership of the off-road adventure market. We were supposed to see the new Bronco on April 2, but its debut has been delayed. In North America alone, the pandemic is destroying $12 billion in potential sales each week while scrapping 331,000 vehicles that would otherwise have come off of assembly lines, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Still, U.S. automakers like Ford hope the second half of 2020 will allow them to make up some lost ground. Crosstown rival Chevrolet has turned to Trailblazer, a nameplate that’s been defunct in the U.S. since 2009, to carry its newest, small, crossover SUV. With an optional three-cylinder engine and a sticker price below $20,000, the little rig is aimed at young, outdoorsy folk. Chevrolet, however, already has three smallish SUVs to sell. Moreover, Kia is aiming for the just-right-size SUV market with its new Seltos, another middle child in a big family. The Seltos began selling in the U.S. in February, before the coronavirus shutdowns began in earnest. For now, the machine is coming from factories in Korea, which are still running. Aston Martin’s make-or-break DBX, another latecomer to the luxury SUV game, is the first of its kind from the 107-year-old brand. The automaker first showed the 542-horsepower DBX at the L.A. Auto Show in November 2019; media drives were planned for May. Those have been postponed and production at all the company’s manufacturing sites halted. Meanwhile, Aston Martin doesn't have working capital and still desperately needs the SUV to deliver drivers. The global crisis and its effect on demand may leave the company in a very bad place. Spokesman Nathan Hoyt says the vehicle’s U.S. launch remains on track for the second half of the year. In the more opulent tier, the upcoming Mercedes Maybach GLS 600 SUV will compete against Bentley's Bentayga and Rolls-Royce’s Cullinan. It has a V8 engine that churns out 550 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, plus a 48-volt “EQ Boost” system that helps smooth out all that power. The machine was scheduled to go on sale in the U.S. in the second half of this year. But with Mercedes manufacturing at a standstill, it’s too early to say if that will remain the case, says a Mercedes representative. Electric Vehicles When it comes to futuristic electric vehicles designed for an $80-a-barrel world, Tesla products remain at the forefront, though the company has remained tightlipped about timing, given current events. The all-electric flatbed Cybertruck that almost broke the internet when it debuted last year is one hanging in the balance. The Blade Runner-style vehicle boasts driving range estimates of up to 500 miles and a zero-to-60 mph sprint of 2.9 seconds. Production is tentatively slated to begin in 2021, and Tesla is already taking deposits, but all this could change. Though initially unwilling, Elon Musk eventually shut down his California factories last month. That shutdown also applies to Tesla’s Model Y, a compact electric SUV the company started delivering to customers in March, but has yet to be seen in the wild in significant numbers. Rivian Motors set out to do for SUVs and trucks what Tesla had done for electric sedans. It promises its R1S will be able to travel 400 miles on a single charge, drive through three feet of water and zip up to 60 mph in three seconds, all with Costco-capable cargo space. Rivian was planning to deliver its first SUV late this year; at the moment, its facilities ate shuttered, including the former Mitsubishi plant in central Illinois, where it was mapping out assembly lines. Ford has also been hustling to finish its Mustang Mach-E, an all-new, all-electric vehicle whose November debut won broad praise for checking three critical boxes: good looks, long range, and performance specs that best gas-powered pony cars. Now, dozens of early versions are cycling among the world of Ford engineers, who disinfect each before continuing work. Pre-coronavirus, Ford said that the number of deposits for the machine was sizable, with a greater-than-expected share from drivers who had never owned a Ford. An additional electric offering has experienced unlikely progress: Against all odds, the fastback Polestar 2, Polestar’s second vehicle and first all-electric car, started production on March 23 at Zhejiang Geely Holding’s plant in Luqiao, China. First unveiled in February 2019 as a fierce potential rival to Tesla, the Polestar 2 produces 408 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque, with an estimated range of 292 miles. It remains unclear, though, how many units will be produced or when deliveries might begin. Last month, BMW “e-revealed” the BMW i4 Concept, which had been slated to premier at the since-canceled Geneva Auto Show. The company has yet to show the production version, but it’s expected to be an all-electric sedan that uses an 80-kilowatt-hour battery to get 530 horsepower and 372 miles of driving range. Despite the current closure of BMW production plants, the i4 is expected to start selling toward the end of 2021. Says spokesman Thomas Plucinsky: “We don’t anticipate any delays.” Sports Cars Spurred by a heady stock market, super expensive, super fast sports cars were enjoying a moment until March arrived. Porsche had big plans to roll out the 640-horsepower, muscle-y 911 Turbo S version of its franchise machine with group media drives. Instead, the company delivered the 640-horsepower machines one by one via fleet drivers prepped on disinfection and social distancing. Porsche’s German manufacturing plants in Zuffenhausen and Leipzig have been silent since March 21, and Porchce Experience Centers in L.A. and Atlanta, where the Porsche-curious take test drives and track lessons, sit empty. The $225,000 Ferrari Roma super car debuted in November in, of course, Rome. But a total Ferrari production halt on March 14 included production of the 611-horsepower, V8 Roma, which was supposed to roll into dealerships toward the end of the year. Ferrari hopes to eventually make up for the lost production with additional shifts. “No material impacts on deliveries and waiting list are foreseen at the moment,” a spokesperson says. Over in England, the $1.7 million McLaren Elva super car packs a punch: 804 horsepower on a V8 engine and rear-wheel drive. It’ll do zero to 124 mph in just 6.7 seconds, which makes it faster than its sibling, the track-suited Senna. McLaren had planned to build just 399 of them, each one customized through the company’s special-ops MSO division and delivered at the end of 2020. “We will continue with all possible design and engineering activities that we can at this stage,” says Roger Ormisher, vice president of communications at McLaren. The carmaker will “then finalize physical development once staff are back at MTC, with the plan to deliver Elva into production as close as we can to Q4 2020.” Finally, Lotus is trying to piece together its first new vehicle in more than a decade. The machine, dubbed Evija, is stunning—and costs $2.1 million. Shaped like a spaceship with trimmed sides and massive wheels, it boasts nearly 2,000 horsepower generated from four electric motors, as well as a zero-to-60 mph sprint of fewer than three seconds. Only 130 will be built by the legendary U.K. automaker. As for when they will be built, that will be determined later. Production has halted at Lotus’s Norwich headquarters while engineers continue tweaking designs from home. “The vehicle development process is as it was—just not in the offices,” says Rob Borrett, a company spokesman. Super car architects, it turns out, are just like the rest of us. They Zoom. Read the full article

Top Gear America Host Dax Shepard’s Car Guy Credentials

Top Gear America host Dax Shepard’s car love is no secret. He was just recently on Conan talking about his 700-horsepower Buick Roadmaster station wagon, and he’s appeared in MotorTrend previously showing off his garage. There’s much more to Shepard’s car obsession than what he owns, though.

“I’m in to all cars,” Shepard told us. “I can’t think of a … Well that’s not true. I’m not dying to drive something pre-’40s, but I like most everything you put gas in. I’m super into motorcycles. I’m really into off-road and I like classic cars; I think I have an eclectic taste in classic cars. I generally like when people take a car that no one else recognized as cool and then make it cool.”

This is a key tenet of Shepard’s car philosophy: Nothing is sacred. Anything can be improved in performance, appearance, and comfort. As his restomod ’67 Lincoln Continental sedan demonstrates, he has no issue tearing up a classic to build something cool.

“I do not revere numbers-matching, or original paint, or any of that shit,” Shepard said. “I have lots of favorite movies from the ’80s, but I don’t watch them on a 17-inch Zenith TV. I watch them on a 78-inch TV. Even though they’re still my favorite, I want it to be the best that it can be. So I want cars to stop and accelerate and turn. I’m not a purist by any stretch. I would probably gut any car.”

The Continental is no doubt the most famous example, having starred in his 2012 film Hit and Run. Its old MEL 462-cubic-inch V-8 is long gone, replaced with a 700-hp fuel-injected Ford Racing crate motor, which laid plenty of rubber in our parking lot as he left the building. Big wheels, coil-over suspension, and Wilwood brakes round out the build.

His life growing up in Michigan didn’t start with 700-hp cars, even though he and his mother both worked for General Motors at one time or another. Shepard’s first car was a ’76 Pontiac Catalina he bought for $400 because it was cheap and it had a big-block. Before long, it was replaced with an ’84 Mustang.

“In high school, I had an ’84 Mustang GT that I took the engine out, rebuilt it, and did everything on that car because I was broke. I did everything on every car I had until about 15 years ago when I started making money, but less and less. Back then, cars lasted a few weeks. My ’84 Mustang, I got it in ’92. So seven years old, already a terrible piece of shit. The passenger seat, the weld broke and it was all over the place. The heater core went out in it, six years old. Everything was. The f–king shocks were shot.”

Shepard does still try to work on his own cars, but with a full-time acting career and a full-time dad career, he also occasionally employs Hot Rod Garage co-host Lucky Costa.

“I’m trying to think the last thing I did,” Shepard said. “I put rotors and pads and shit on my E 63 station wagon. I think it’s the last mechanical thing I did.”

Oh yes, Shepard also loves wagons. His Mercedes-AMG E 63 shares space with the ’94 Roadmaster, although the Buick makes more power from its supercharged Chevy LSA V-8 crate motor.

“I love wagons so much,” he said. “In fact, I think I could see myself getting two or three more wagons over the years. There’s so many good ones. Even within the supercar world, I like the shooting brakes. I’m deeply interested in that Ferrari FF ,and I’m delighted that the resale value is less than great because it makes me think it’s in the realm of possibility at some point. I guess I mostly like awkward, weird stuff that’s fast. And I love sedans that are fast. There’s something about fast sedans.”

Like any good car guy, he isn’t satisfied with the five cars, five motorcycles, four off-road toys, a shifter cart, and a pair of trailers littering his Santa Clarita ranch. He’s got his eye on several more, and even has plans for housing them all.

“I don’t drive all of them,” he said. “I’m mad I don’t drive all of them, and yet I’m actively, weekly looking at new cars I must acquire. I’ve got a couple that I’m circling right now. I keep going back. I keep looking at ’05, ’06 Bentley Continental GTS because they’re free. They’re free. They’re like 1/10th of what they were new. No miles with a W-12 twin-turbo and all-wheel-drive Volkswagen stuff. I’m like, ‘I should have this thing. Just take dirt roads going 70, who cares?’ That and all those, like the CL 55 and CL 63, those AMGs, those are free, too. You can get those for like in the teens with no miles.”

Even though his fix-or-repair-daily days are behind him, there are cars out there that make him want to get back under a lift.

“What I really, really want to build,” he continued, “is a ’68 to ’72-ish Blazer, long travel Blazer. That’s really, really what I want. Something, though, that is civil enough on the inside that my wife would drive it. But I want, basically, a sand dunes taxi when I have my whole family out there to go to this restaurant, Duner’s Diner, which is about 20 miles through the dunes. I really want that.

A post shared by Dax Shepard (@daxshepard) on Dec 3, 2019 at 8:35am PST

“I’m thinking more and more about building a B-body ’94 Fleetwood, but three pedal, yeah. Those are the two that I’m closest to endeavoring on, but the whole issue I have currently is I don’t have room for all this stuff. We’ve been building a new house, and I’m building a barn there. So that should open up the floodgates to maybe one or two more builds.

“It won’t even be that big. When I say ‘barn,’ I’m playing it fast and loose with the term ‘barn.’ It’ll look like a barn, but it’ll probably hold five cars and maybe eight motorcycles in it. Well, with the lift, maybe six cars.”

Besides the Blazer, you can bet future builds will include more off-road stuff. In addition to previously owning a Class 3 Baja car, Shepard counts among his current collection a 1,000-hp twin-turbo LS3 sand rail.

“What I like about off-road is the barrier to entry is so much cheaper,” he said. “To go do a track day is always, who’s running the track? Whereas Glamis, Ocotillo, Gorman, you just show up and the whole place is yours and there’s no rules, and I love all that. So just the convenience of off-road. I also like that there’s a third dimension to it, so it’s not just cornering and accelerating, braking, but I love that there’s jumping as an aspect, that it becomes multidimensional.

“I’ve been crazy lucky,” he continued. “I’ve gotten to drive a ton of shit and be on a bunch of different tracks, but I don’t think there’s any driver’s sensation that compares to the dunes. Wheelie-ing over the tops of dunes and then just dropping down and there’s cornering and braking and keeping the front end light. There’s so much going on. It’s so stimulating. I think it blows away pretty much everything else.”

Of course, the dunes are also where Shepard had his biggest wreck.

“Not a big crasher,” he said. “Gone off the track a couple of times, but not in a colossal way that caused any damage. I really haven’t. I’ve cartwheeled a Razor once. That’s probably the only thing. I went end-over-end in a Razor in the sand dunes. We ripped off all of the control arms up front, but we had to drag it back with a sand car in reverse. The Razor had to be in reverse. Nothing on the front end was attached anymore. But yeah, I think that’s the only wreck I’ve had.”

He’s also gone down on a motorcycle, which ended in a shoulder surgery, but that hasn’t kept him off bikes.

“One of the first questions Jethro asked me when I met him was, ‘Why do you ride bikes?’” he said. “And I’m like, ‘Very simple: sub-400 pounds and 200 hp. Where are you going to find that power-to-weight ratio?’

“Also, what I love about bikes is, similar to off-road, you can’t destroy one. I’ve had a (Suzuki) GSX-R drag track bike for 10 years. Now I have a (Yamaha) R1 track bike. Never have replaced the pads. I do an oil change every 3,000 miles. You can just fu–king drive them and ride them at 13,000 rpm indefinitely and they’re fine. Like a track car, you’re constantly putting shit on. Tires, brakes, all this stuff, but a motorcycle, man, there’s not a better bang for the buck. Also, you can’t spend 25 grand on a motorcycle, you know? I’m super into Ducatis. It’s like a Ferrari for 20 grand. It’s crazy.”

Top Gear America Host Dax Shepard’s Car Guy Credentials

Shepard does still try to work on his own cars, but with a full-time acting career and a full-time dad career, he also occasionally employs Hot Rod Garage co-host Lucky Costa.

“I’m trying to think the last thing I did,” Shepard said. “I put rotors and pads and shit on my E 63 station wagon. I think it’s the last mechanical thing I did.”

Oh yes, Shepard also loves wagons. His Mercedes-AMG E 63 shares space with the ’94 Roadmaster, although the Buick makes more power from its supercharged Chevy LSA V-8 crate motor.

Even though his fix-or-repair-daily days are behind him, there are cars out there that make him want to get back under a lift.

The Top 19 Cars Of 2019 On Silodrome

Each year we compile a list of the most popular cars on Silodrome from the previous 12 months, we rank them in the order of their popularity, and as always, there are a few surprises in the list.

For the first time in the almost 10 year history of Silodrome the top two cars are both the same make and model (though different years), and for the first time there’s a replica in the list, albeit one with a hefty dose of Tom Cruise Hollywood magic.

We’ve compiled the list below in reverse order, and there’s an honourable mention at the bottom that almost made it into the list but missed out by just a few hundred clicks. Each vehicle has an excerpt from its original feature article on Silodrome, with a link out to read the full text if you’d like more information on it.

And now with no further ado, here’s the Top 19 Cars of 2019:

#19 – THE CUSTOM KAISER JEEP M715 PICKUP TRUCK

The custom Kaiser Jeep M715 pickup truck you see here is one of the better built modified versions we’ve seen in recent memory. It’s now powered by a General Motors 350 cu. in. (5.7 litre) V8 engine offering considerably more horsepower and torque than the original inline-6.

This V8 is mated to an Oldsmobile automatic transmission to make daily driving much easier, it also means it’s now highway drivable as well – something that can be a struggle in the original 6-cylinder 4-speed vehicle.

Up front it rides on a Dana 60 axle and there’s a Dana 70 axle in the rear, both ride on new heavy duty leaf springs and the original drum brakes are kept as is the 2 horsepower front-mounted winch. The look of the truck is transformed by the 42” Super Swamper tires designed for off-road use but still more than capable of being driven on the road.
