GM’s Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) is a brand synonymous with absolute insanity in the car world. Based in Australia, this brand makes nothing but brawny versions of regular Holden cars. Our Middle Eastern market was given a taste of HSV with the rebranded CSV CR8 in 2008 which came in as a 425 hp 6.2-litre V8 rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet sedan (which made it onto our ultra-short Editor’s Choice list).

The Mustang’s importance in Ford’s lineup has grown ever more important since they started to build it in right-hand-drive to cater to more markets, as well as taking on the European market against the continent’s own premium offerings. So just 2 years after the Mustang received an overhaul, Ford has now updated it visually and mechanically to keep it fresh. The 2018 Ford Mustang has dropped the base V6 model to soldier on with just two engine choices, in both coupe and convertible body styles.
