Porsche Macan EV, Rivian R1S, Volkswagen Amarok: this week's top photos

Porsche will unveil the electric Macan next year in 2023. It will be a true next-generation design, not just an electrified version of the current Macan. However, it will not immediately replace the current gas-powered car, as Porsche plans to sell both versions in parallel for several years.

Lamborghini was testing the Aventador's successor this week. Powered by hybrid technology and a new V12 engine, the redesigned supercar will take Lamborghini into the next era.

We spent time behind the wheel of Rivian's R1S electric SUV; Rivian's R1T electric pickup truck won Motor Authority's Best Car To Buy 2022.

Hyundai's N Performance Skunk Works will unveil two new models later this month. One of them is expected to be a hot version of the Ioniq 5 electric crossover, and we have obtained spy footage of a prototype being tested at the Nürburgring.

Volkswagen revealed the redesigned Phaeton this week. The second-generation model would be larger in size and would share a platform with the Audi A8.

Another VW headline this week was the redesigned Amarok. This mid-size pickup truck is a twin to the redesigned Ford Ranger, which is coming to showrooms next year. While we won't see the new Amarok in the U.S., VW is planning an electric pickup for the U.S. market that will carry the Scout badge.

And finally, Porsche unveiled its new 911 GT3 R racing car, based on the latest 992-generation 911. This is the race car from which Porsche will derive the next 911 GT3 RS.
