The 2025 New York International Auto Show delivers a sharp look at where the automotive industry is headed, from electric supercars and hybrid performance cars to bold concept vehicles and a missing Camaro. Behind the ropes at Manhattan Motorcars, the lineup includes the Rimac Nevera, the Porsche 992.2 911 Carrera GTS hybrid, the Lamborghini Urus SE, the Taycan Turbo GT, and more rare machines that show how quickly the car world is changing.

The tour also highlights striking concepts and restomods, including the Kia Weekender, a futuristic Lucid SUV concept, and EV conversions like the Sacrilege 964. There are still gas-powered icons on display too, like the Corvette lineup and a Ford GT with its roof cut off, but the absence of the Camaro makes the shift toward electrification impossible to ignore.

For car show fans, auto show coverage, supercar spotting, and automotive commentary, this is a fast-paced look at luxury cars, concept cars, electric vehicles, and performance hybrids in New York City. It’s ideal for anyone following the future of the automotive industry, new car reveals, and the changing face of internal combustion.

00:00Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2025 New York International Auto Show, our second year
00:05getting behind the rope access, and we're starting it off at none other than the Manhattan Motorcars
00:09booth. Huge thank you to Alan Lambeau for letting us behind. While we're walking over to the Rimax
00:13section, I would like to make note that this is the car show that got me into cars. I've been
00:17coming here since I was like eight years old, so I can't miss a year. We come every single year.
00:22I don't think I came in 2022. Starting off with none other than the 1,914 horsepower, 1.7 second
00:30zero to 60 Rimac Nevera. Folks, first of all, this is for sale. Second of all, those stats are very
00:35impressive, but it comes at a hefty price tag. The base price of that car is $2.2 million. And
00:42of
00:42course, the inspiration for the Rimac Nevera, the Rimac Concept 1. I don't know much about it. I don't
00:47know if it drives, but it looks cool. For the sake of me not knowing much about it, we're going
00:51to
00:52skip over the million and a half dollar Ferrari 250 SWB, which I do know stands for short wheel
00:57base. So we're learning a little bit. Next up, we learned a little bit about the Tetson Daydream,
01:03which is based off a 964 platform, but it's a complete resto mod. Hopefully, we'll be able to get
01:08some shots inside. Folks, two cars that we've seen before on the channel, the Lamborghini Eros SE, which
01:12is the best sounding hybrid on the market, and it's an 800 horsepower beast. Right next to it, also will
01:18look familiar. The Taycan Turbo GT YZAC, which is an electric 1,000 horsepower track car. We did a
01:24whole video on it. Check it out. Check it out. It's fine. Ladies and gentlemen, two years ago, we were
01:27on
01:27the other side of the ropes, and now we have plush chairs. Manhattan Motorcars, thank you dearly for
01:31the hospitality. Moving on. This one right here is a first for Christian cars. The all-new 992.2 911
01:38Carrera GTS,
01:39which is a six-cylinder hybrid. I don't have the specs on it, but it's a nice little refresh. It's
01:46not terribly different than the 992.1, but subtle tweaks, and it looks good. No more manual. We just
01:53got word that there's no more manual in the 992.2. Very sad. Very, very sad. On a happier note,
01:59well,
01:59we lost the V10, so it's not that much happier, but listen, we lost the V10. We got 10,000
02:05RPM.
02:05So are we really losing here? It's still a 900 horsepower twin-turbo V8. The platform's
02:11going to be incredible. The car looks incredible, and I'm super excited to see it in not the launch
02:15spec. The matte blue is cool, but I love seeing them in like actual just plain specs, like the
02:21white with the red calipers, black wheels, red interior. So good. Next up out of the Lotus section,
02:27folks, the all-new Amira, which it's been out for like two years. I don't know why I call it
02:31all new.
02:31Actually a cool color. And then this, which I don't know much about at all,
02:34and I feel like hasn't been getting the attention it might deserve. The Lotus Vibe. No, no, no. Wrong.
02:41The Lotus Electra. Anyway, two more cars here. The 964 from Sacrilege, which is a full EV,
02:49hence the name Sacrilege. And it's another complete resto mod, a little bit like the Tetson,
02:54but the Tetson has a motor. Same, same, but different, different. And last but not least,
02:59we have to talk about the egg. The fully exposed red carbon fiber, carbon fiber wheels, carbon fiber
03:05splitter canards. The whole thing's car. Don't exegregate. We've left them in a motorcars booth,
03:10but the supercars don't end right over my right shoulder. We have a convertible Ford GT,
03:15which Ford never made. Shout out to the guy who is willing to cut a roof off of a half
03:19a million
03:20dollar limited production car. Right next to that, we have a 992 GT3 RS with a livery delete
03:24on aftermarket wheels. And next to that, a tire stickered Ferrari SF90 Spyder. For the first time
03:31ever, forever in the entire world, You Don't Stop Hip Hop has been written on the tire of a half
03:37a
03:37million plus dollar supercar. You'll never see it again in your entire life. Now that we've covered
03:41the supercars, let's talk concept cars, because there's a couple of good ones here. On the topic
03:45of concepts, Hyundai and Genesis are the kings of making concept cars and not producing them. But the
03:51one to my right here is very cool. It looks like a luxury off-roading SUV, EV. Folks, the taillights
03:59wrap around almost the entire car. So do the headlights. It's on off-road massive tires, but
04:04the interior is like luxury quilted leather. So there's a lot going on. I'm not sure I know where
04:09to place it, but I promise you it's not coming to the streets near you anytime soon. You can have
04:14dinner on that hood and I guarantee you there's no engine in there. I guarantee it. It looks, it just
04:19looks like an EV. I'm almost positive it's an EV. Why is the hood so long? I've seen two-tone
04:23interiors.
04:24I have. I do a lot of car spotting, but I've never seen the left side of the door blue,
04:30the right side
04:30of the door tan, and it be separated vertically. Usually it's like the top and the bottom. And then
04:35the top of the seats are blue and the bottom of the seats are brown. It's a lot. There's a
04:40lot of
04:40colors. There's a lot of two tones. Inside it looks like a Maibach. Outside it looks like a Rivian
04:45Bronco Raptor. We're not sure if this one right here is a concept or an actual produced vehicle
04:50because we've never seen it before. We were expecting it for a while. They only had sedans
04:54in their lineup and their sedans were great. Some of you might remember we did have a Lucid Air Grand
04:58Touring for 24 hours and it was an incredible experience. Almost a thousand horsepower. I do kind
05:04of have mixed feelings design wise on this car, but I'm sure it's going to be an awesome daily driver.
05:09And like I said, it was coming for a long time. Lucid, if you're watching this, please let us borrow
05:13one
05:13for 24 hours. We'll give a more comprehensive review. Folks, we just found out that this has
05:16a max horsepower rating of 828 horsepower. It has up to 450 miles of range and can charge up to
05:23200
05:24miles in just 12 minutes and a 0 to 60 of 3.4 seconds. It also seems like they're not
05:29letting
05:29anybody in the car, so it's probably a concept. This right here might be my favorite concept of
05:34the entire show. The Kia Weekender, spelled W-K-N-D-R. It's not an RV, but it's like a
05:41Weekender.
05:42Like you would take it on a two, three day camping trip. It has a little pop-up tent. The
05:46roof
05:47completely opens up. It's like glamping. Like you're not rugged and going camping if you bring
05:52your Kia Weekender. If you're going to camp like a real man, you bring a tent, some sticks, and a
05:57couple of s'mores. If you bring the Kia Weekender, you're glamping. But that's probably how I would do
06:02it and it looks really fun and I would love to see the inside of it. Up front, you have
06:05some good
06:06practicality with a winch, what looks like a charge port right above it. I know I said this looks like
06:10it
06:10would be used for glamping, but it also looks like something that an astronaut would drive if
06:14he was exploring Mars. You also have levels on each of the wheels and I couldn't even guess what
06:19that's for. Why would anybody care if the wheels are leveled or not? Before we wrap up, folks, I have
06:23good news, bad news. Good news, the whole Corvette lineup is here. We have the Stingray, we have the
06:28E-Ray, we have the Z06, and we even have the ZR1. The bad news, this is the first New
06:33York
06:33International Auto Show I've been to with no Camaros. I hope this is some April Fool's like
06:38we'll be back soon kind of thing and the Camaro comes back in 2026. If they make it an EV,
06:43I'm
06:44never buying a Chevy again. Anyway, the 2025 New York International Auto Show has been a fantastic
06:49trip. It's a great show every single year and we'll see you on the next one.
