The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL was indisputably one of the biggest reveals at the LA Auto Show. TFLcar has brought you every piece of pre-debut news we could get our hands on. From Mopar’s performance parts reveal at SEMA, to offical press images, to spy shot after spy shot. At long last, the JK replacement is finally here. If you haven’t caught up on all the specs for the new Wrangler, check out our comprehensive post covering everything you need to know!
Corvette ZR1 Convertible
When the Corvette ZR1 debuted in Dubai, the biggest headline was it’s Hellcat-topping 755 horsepower. But that’s not all – it also has a whopping 715 lbs-ft of torque routed through a seven-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic. If you look at it on paper, you’d rightly argue that the 2019 Corvette ZR1 is a true swan song for the C7 generation. As it should be, since the ZR1 has always been the daddy when it comes to Corvettes. Now, though, there’s a convertible version! All that horsepower and an open roof – an unbeatable combination for some.
Infiniti QX50
Range Rover SVAutobiography (Photo gallery – click tabs to advance)

The Range Rover is just one of those vehicles that exudes luxury from every conceivable detail. The SVAutobiography trim takes that notion and goes completely berserk with it. For $207,900, you can have a slice of that sumptuous luxury. It’s the most expensive Range Rover ever. As we know with Land Rover’s ultimate SUV, however, it’s not all swagger. The Range Rover is also monstrously capable when it’s off the beaten track. Not that anyone who buys this version will ever take it there.
BMW M5
Mazda Vision Coupe
Volvo XC40
BMW i8 Roadster
BMW updated its i8 coupe for the new model year, but it also introduced a new roadster. While the original i8 coupe’s looks wrote checks its performance credentials couldn’t cash, the i8 Roadster makes the car into more of a GT than an out-and-out supercar. It gets from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, so it’s not exactly slow. If you’re looking for a striking convertible cruiser, the i8 Roadster goes on sale in Spring 2018.
Toyota FT-AC Concept
From a design perspective, Toyota’s FT-AC concept is striking from most angles. Toyota is marketing this vehicle as a have-fun, go anywhere machine for the active lifestyle crowd. It takes a few design cues from a few other Toyotas – see the 4Runner in the front end? – while adding some chunky wheels and a lot of cladding. No word yet on whether the company plans to send this lime-colored SUV to production.
Toyota Hydrogen Truck
Okay, so this one isn’t a car. However, Toyota’s hydrogen truck does use hydrogen fuel cells from a car! The Toyota Mirai, to be exact. They stuffed two Mirai fuel cells into a Kenworth T660 body to create a zero-emissions truck. It makes 670 horsepower and 1,325 lbs-ft of torque. It’s good for 200 miles of range, which is enough to run around the Port of Los Angeles the past few months, as they have done.
