Tesla Cybertruck

Okay, Tesla is unarguably the most unconventional car maker of the present day. This was proven further when Elon Musk presented to the world what looked like a car designed for some anime character, the Cybertruck. But it was actually a pickup truck designed to take on the likes of Ford F-150 Raptor. The price of the Tesla Cybertruck will start from as low as $39,900 and go all the way up to $69,900.

These prices vary on the number of motors you'd want to power your electric truck. The carmaker has also claimed that this pickup will have a maximum towing capacity of about 14,000 pounds. But that's still alright for a truck. What's not so much is the fact that Tesla claims this EV will be able to dash from 0 to 60 MPH in just 2.9 seconds when setup appropriately.

GMC Hummer

We're pretty sure not many people saw this coming. When GMC annouced that they were coming up with an electric version of one of their most infamous car ever, the Hummer EV, we could not wait but hear all about it. But apparently, according to GMC, the upcoming Hummer will sound like "nothing".

The car is expected to launch sometime in the last quarter of 2021. Nothing is known about the cost of the car. What we do know instead, the Hummer EV will make a 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pond-feet of torque. This will allow it to accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in under 3 seconds.

It will get a 5.5-liter flat crankshaft V8 that will make over 660 hp, as per some reports. That V8 will come mated to an 8-speed automatic Dual Clutch Transmission. Considering how the 459 hp Corvette Z51 was able to reach the 60 MPH mark in just 2.8 seconds, the Corvette Z06 will be even faster.

Cadillac Lyriq

Also waiting to be revealed sometime in April next year is Cadillac Lyriq SUV. This will be the luxury carmaker's first-ever all-electric vehicle. So far Cadillac has kept mum on any details or specifications of this SUV.

Nissan 400Z

Nissan's ball-Z 350 and 370 sports coupes had a phenomenal run while they lasted. The 370Z is still going on but we'd rather if it hung up the cowl and made way for the upcoming Nissan 400Z. Yes, it seems like the much needed upgrade to a colorful heritage is on its way.

The Nissan 400Z will most likely be powered by the twin-turbo V6 borrowed from the Infiniti Q60 coupe. It will still continue to be a rear-wheel driven but there could also be a host of technology updates. It will debut at an MSRP of over $45,000 when it arrives next year, not knowing exactly when.

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS

An even more hardcore iteration of the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4, Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS, will set its wheels in the States in the last quarter of 2021. It will be lighter, more powerful and, in every meaning of the word, better than the 718 Cayman GT4.

When it does come to the markets, expect the price of around $130,000. It will continue to be powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine but power figures are not know yet. Still, we are hopeful of close to 500 hp, not that anyone would mind more from Porsche.

Volkswagen Golf GTI

Here's an idea, Volkswagen should never stop manufacturing cars like the Golf GTI. They seem to be doing exactly because the hot-hatch will go for sale yet again in 2021. The 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI will mark the beginning of the eighth generation of this Civic Type-R stunner.

It will get the same 2.0-liter turbo-four under its hood. However, as opposed to the outgoing model, the new GTI's engine will make 241 hp and 273 lb-ft torque. Starting prices of the same are looking to cross over to the $30,000 mark when the car goes on sale first in Europe and the America.

Jeep Wagoneer/Grang Wagoneer

We have plenty of American three-row SUVs in the market but not one like the Jeep Wagoneer and/or Grand Wagoneer. This will be an all-new, full-size, three-row SUV from Jeep when it goes on for sale only Jeep knows when. It is set to begin production sometime in 2021.

From what is known so far, the 2021 Jeep Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer will be underpinned by the same body-on-frame architecture as the Ram 1500 pickup. The price of the lineup will start at about $45,000, and both rear-wheel or all-wheel drivetrains will most definitely be offered.
