Maserati has unveiled its first-ever hybrid vehicle – and promises it will still sound like a sports sedan, despite being powered by a four-cylinder engine. The 2021 Maserati Ghibli Hybrid will retain its distinctive exhaust note, but come with the fuel economy of a diesel car.

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 has been unveiled in the US, showcasing a track-focused, limited-edition pony car that cherry-picks from its stablemates.

Many components have also come from the Shelby GT500.
