New York Auto Show turns 125 with Asian debuts, EV test tracks


New York — America’s oldest auto exhibition, the New York International Auto Show, celebrates its 125th anniversary through April 27 at Javits Convention Center with a look back at significant concepts of the past along with the debuts of modern machinery for the 21st century.

While auto dealers who organize the show gauge consumer interest in the latest wares, they will also be watching the effects of government-imposed electric vehicle mandates and import tariffs on the market’s future.

Like the Detroit Auto Show at Huntington Place, the Big Apple’s auto-palooza has morphed over the decades into more than just an opportunity to shop for your next ride. Once isolated on the Hudson River on Manhattan’s’ west side next to a train depot, Javits’ neighborhood has been transformed by the Hudson Yards development that has sprouted skyscrapers over top of the rail yard. With 9 million square feet of office space as well as residential quarters, Hudson Yards is among the most expensive real estate in Manhattan.

Residents and other attendees who walk across 11th Avenue to Javits will find four test tracks — two of them outdoor — where they can jump into cars from numerous brands for a ride. Inside, there will be an array of attractions from anniversary exhibits to new car debuts to brand displays and special collections of Detroit classics and racing Subarus.

“There’s been a huge change over the years. We characterize these events as auto shows, but it’s also a place for (attendees) to enjoy themselves, as they are spending three four hours at the show,” said Mark Schienberg, president of the New York Auto Show and of the Greater New York Auto Dealers Association, in an interview. He said exit surveys show consumers “want to see the new product and help them understand it. But right under that was they really loved the entertainment.”

That entertainment will include special exhibits during public days April 18-27, like tuner whiz Nakai San, who will construct a Porsche over two days, April 23-24 — and Overland Weekend, an exhibit of extreme campers and off-road vehicles. Detroit’s show in January also amped up the entertainment when it invited ticket-holders to take a ride with IndyCar stars like Josef Newgarden and Nolan Allaer on the show’s indoor track.

New York combines car-gazing and entertainment on the show’s 110,000-square-foot indoor test track. Like Detroit, the experience track is a New York centerpiece.

The New York International Auto Show celebrates its 125th anniversary this year with a display of classics including these Corvettes.

ZOT! Riding shotgun, attendees can accelerate up to 40 mph around the “EVTest Track.” Some 18 models will be available to ticket-holders. Cadillac leads the way with four EVs to ride in with Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Jeep, Kia, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen also represented.

“You really need to speak to the consumers that are in your area and tracks are a great way to do that,” said Stephanie Brinley, associate director of Research and Analysis for S&P Global. “There are still a lot of people who still haven’t been in an electric vehicle, so to have that experience is helpful.”

Unlike Detroit’s indoor tracks that showcased a mix of gas and electric powertrains, Javitz’s track is all-electric. That’s because the Empire State is one of 12 so-called Zero Emission Vehicles states that require all new vehicles sales to be zero-emission by 2035. That includes a mandate that 35% of 2026 model-year vehicles (which hit dealers later this year) be fully battery-powered.

The market is a long way from that today with less than 10% of New York sales (most of them Tesla, which is not at the New York Show) powered by electricity. Sales may also be impacted by the expected withdrawal of the federal $7,500 EV tax credit.

A Jeep Wagoneer S is one of the EVs available to ride at the 2025 New York International Auto Show.

“We saw an uptick in sales in January and February as headlines warned that subsidies were going away, and there is also more availability of EV models,” said Brinley. “But I don’t think there’s going to be a 35% share for electric vehicles in New York.”

For the majority of customers who still want gas-fired cars — particularly of the off-road variety — Detroit brands Jeep and Ford offer outdoor tracks on Javits’ 11th Avenue doorstep. The rollercoaster-like tracks are traditionally among the most popular show features.

“Jeep keeps on making the mountain bigger and with a bigger pitch. So it should be interesting to see what they’ve put together this year,” Schienberg said.

The dealers who organize the show also face a mountain of tariffs coming from the Trump administration — aimed in particular at entry-level and electric vehicles made in Mexico like the Kia K4 hatchback that the Korean brand is expected to introduce here.

The Ford Mustang GTD clocked a sub 7-minute lap at Nürburgring. It's on display at the 2025 New York International Auto Show.

“It’s hard for consumers to see the effect of tariffs on vehicles,” said Brinley, who said New York show products haven’t been pulled back due to tariffs. “Vehicle inventory for 50-60 days that is on sale now is unaffected by the tariffs. And manufacturers that sell here aren’t leaving the market — they just have to figure out where to build.”

Unique for 2025 is the anniversary celebration.

“We’re really pulling out all the stops with amazing exhibits,” said Schienberg of the show that started at Madison Square Garden in 1900. “We’re showing concepts — one from each decade of the auto show. So we have 13 examples of amazing vehicles that have been introduced over the decades.”

Inside the show’s entrance, the anniversary exhibit illustrates how the industry has evolved in design and tech. Exhibits includes Detroit notables like the Ford Model T and 1909 Cadillac Model 30.

“Its interesting to harken back to the history of autos after so many years of talking about EVs and autonomous vehicles,” Brinley said. “It makes the auto show engaging on multiple levels. I like that there is an emphasis on the things that emotionally move you as well as what you might buy.”

The North American SUV of the Year, VW ID.Buzz, will be on display at the 2025 New York International Auto Show.

Also celebrating its 125th year? Mack Truck, which will have a display including a 1925 Mack AB model.

New vehicles are still the heartbeat of the New York show, and 28 brands will be on display at Javits.

“When we looked at our numbers last year, 66% of (attendees) said that the show influenced their purchase, and that they were in the in the market for buying a car . . . within the next 12 months,” Schienberg said. “So you really have consumers that are in that funnel, coming in and helping them make their decision on what to do.”

If Detroit Three brands dominate the Huntington Place stage, Korean brands Kia, Hyundai and Genesis have become the headliners in New York and Los Angeles with high-profile model debuts. Subaru and VW will also showcase new models.

“Hyundai, Kia and Genesis have been great as a lot of other manufacturers have gone away. Subaru has always been a believer in shows,” Schienberg said. “They share with us their data, and it’s really impressive what coverage they get.”

Three new Kia models are expected with speculation centering on a hatchback version of the compact, gas-powered K4 sedan; the North American introduction of the K4’s electric E4 sibling; and a new, three-row Telluride SUV.

The Maserati GT2 Stradale is a road-legal version of Maserati's GT2 race car. It's on display at the 2025 New York International Auto Show.

Expect Hyundai’s Telluride competitor, the Palisade, to take off the wraps in New York with a boxier look. Subaru will debut an all-new EV, the Trailseeker, but the Big Apple’s showstopper may be an all-new Subaru Outback — the brand’s halo moving away from its traditional, station-wagon proportions to a chunkier, more SUV-like look. As for VW, the midsize, gas-driven Tiguan SUV may get a close cousin, the Tayron. Toyota and Maserati have also scheduled news conferences.

In addition to its sprawling display, Hyundai has its own indoor test track for attendees.

“Seventy six percent of the (New York attendees) said that the auto show was the only automotive event that they attended,” Schienberg said. “They’re seeing car commercials, and they are on the websites getting information about product. But when they really want to experience cars, the consumer is still using auto shows as their tool to help them make decisions.”

With many of the world’s biggest media operations — TV networks, New York newspapers and more — in town, the New York show has been an irresistible showcase for the flood of startup automakers in recent years. Qiantu, INDI EV, Vinfast and others have used Gotham as a stage for new vehicles.

Not this year. Consistent with the struggles of startups like Rivian, Lucid, Fisker and Bollinger, the 2025 show will be devoid of startups.

“Startups are going through their challenges to some degree,” Scheinberg said. “I wish Vinfast was in this year. They’re not, but that’s more because they’re not selling vehicles in the New York area.”

Though Metro New York contains some of the country’s most affluent zip codes, many luxury automakers continue to sit out the the show just as they do Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles. BMW, Porsche and Cadillac (which was once headquartered in New York) will not present this year. But Mercedes, Maserati, Genesis, Acura and Lincoln will bring their toys.

And then there are the exotics.

A signature of the New York show has long been its display of uber-lux models from hypercars to lush land yachts. Detroit took inspiration from New York and put on its own exotic 2025 display.

Between the Chevy and Subaru exhibits will be eye candy like the Bentley Continental GTC hybrid convertible, Rolls Royce Cullinan, 1,500-horsepower Koenigsegg Regera hybrid, Lamborghini Revuelo, Lotus Eletre SUV and Emira sports car, and 1,900-horsepower Rimac Nevera electric hypercar that can hit 60 mph in just 1.85 seconds.

Performance fans will also thrill at restomods from Tedson Motors (Porsche 911), Sacrilege (converted electric Porsche 911), and GTO Engineering (Ferrari 250).

Media attendance has dropped off in recent years during the press week leading up to New York public days as fewer manufacturers have debuted vehicles.

But the New York Show still generates media interest with its World Car of the Year awards scheduled for Wednesday, April 16 — much as the North American Car, Truck & Utility of the Year awards kicks off the Detroit Auto Show.

Javits also hosted the Automotive Forum sponsored by JD Power on Tuesday, April 15.

“It’s a who’s who of the auto industry — everybody from manufacturers to suppliers, dealers, the media,” Schienberg said. “Between issues on the economy, electrification, and now tariffs, things have been taken to a whole new level, which is why registrations have really turned up. “

Other attractions include a display dedicated to the “Golden Era,” spotlighting 1950s automobiles including the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado, 1958 Buick Limited and 1955 Packard Caribbean. Complementing Subaru’s main floor display is a collection of all-wheel-drive Subaru hellions from the James Buzzetta collection.

“These are the STI (racers), and the first Subaru that was ever brought into the United States, the Subaru 360,” Schienberg said.

Kyle Larson Wins NASCAR Xfinity Series Race Subbing for JR Motorsports

The NASCAR Xfinity Series had plenty of hype coming into Texas Motor Speedway. Especially with Connor Zilisch having to miss the race because of a lower back injury. That put Kyle Larson into his No. 88 Chevy for the Andy’s Frozen Custard 300. So, was it shocking that Larson, paired with JR Motorsports, wouldn’t be inclined to win? Larson did exactly that on Saturday.

Was it an easy win for Larson? Certainly not after his recent comments about wanting to come down to the series whenever and dominate the races. He had plenty of challengers, including fellow JRM driver Justin Allgaier, along with the likes of Austin Hill and Sam Mayer, trying to score the victory. Not to mention multiple overtime attempts.

Kyle Larson Wins NASCAR Xfinity Series Race Subbing for JR Motorsports

Austin Hill and Allgaier led the field to the green flag. Meanwhile, Larson had to climb from a 20th-place starting spot.

The 2024 Texas Xfinity Series race had a very memorable finish, and this one was gearing up to be a good one as well. Early trouble for the No. 71 of Ryan Ellis started a trend of multiple yellow flags throughout the race. Ellis got sideways while racing alongside the likes of Christian Eckes and Sammy Smith. To drivers who ended up having not-so-great days.

Following another incident involving Josh Bilicki in the No. 91, the rest of the opening stage played out well for Justin Allgaier. His No. 7 started to flex its power once again. Allgaier was able to lead the final 24 laps of the stage.

Austin Hill Outclasses the field in Stage Two

While Allgaier and Hill continued to trade the lead back and forth. Kyle Larson quietly made his way into the hunt during the closing laps of the first stage. In doing so, he started to claim that he had a car that could compete for the victory. Austin Hill put everyone else to shame in the second stage. The No. 5 car of Kris Wright once again ran out of talent during the closing laps.

Wright went spinning on the backstretch, bringing out a yellow, which all but gave Hill the stage win.

Drivers Start to Go Crazy

A massive pile-up occurred as the final stage got underway. The incident saw plenty of frontrunners have issues as several cars ended up in the grass, which at Texas notoriously destroys race cars. That’s exactly what happened. It ended up involving at least 12 cars. Josh Williams’ No. 11 car was destroyed. The incident also involved top names like Corey Day, Taylor Gray, and Sam Mayer, among others.

Larson was very lucky to get through the incident. It started a rough trend for the final stage of the race. As Allgaier and Hill continued to battle for the race lead once they got things going again, Larson was once again quietly stalking both drivers.

Sheldon Creed’s good run once again came to a haunting end as he lost control while fighting with Jesse Love and Corey Day inside the top five. It all but made Day’s best run thus far in the series, ten times tougher.

After that incident, things looked to be getting back into a groove, as the drivers were able to get to their final green flag pit stops. During those stops, Larson was able to jump Allgaier and Hill for the race lead. Allgaier’s impressive performance of leading over 90 laps of the race came to a screeching halt to everybody’s favorite driver, Kris Wright.

Allgaier’s Wreck Opens Door for Larson

As Allgaier got back on track following his green flag pitstop. He ended up catching a much slower car. That happened to be the No. 5 of Wright. That’s bad news for a lot of drivers lately. As Allgaier got taken out by the slower car. Allgaier’s day ended after he hit the wall nose-first.

Wright’s making a name for himself in the Xfinity Series, but not for good reasons. It’s getting a little ridiculous at this point. That issue for Allgaier paved an opening for Larson to take full advantage.

As Larson checked out to the race lead, way ahead of a nice battle between Hill and rookie Nick Sanchez. With less than 10 laps to go, Corey Day brought out a caution. That moment changed everything. As several drivers had decisions to make with seven or so laps to go. Larson came in for four tires, while Hill and others stayed out. So it all set up plenty of action-packed restart opportunities. Larson had to make a climb from the fourth or fifth row. He was able to make quick work on the next restart as he put himself up to third or fourth, when Sammy Smith lost control off the nose of Hill. It sent the race into overtime.

The very next restart saw one more incident as Jeremy Clements smacked the wall, sending this race to a second overtime. The drivers dirtied the end of this race up, much like the Truck Series race from Friday night. Like Corey Heim on Friday, Kyle Larson was not going to be denied.

Larson filled in nicely for Zilisch as he was able to capture the checkered flag at Texas, with Taylor Gray and Riley Herbst coming home in second and third.

Enjoy that nice ice cream-shaped trophy, Kyle. It was fun to see a backup driver step in and win. Even if it is the sport’s best driver, Kyle Larson.

Kasey Kahne admits he misses NASCAR, gives update on future plans

An 18-time race winner in the NASCAR Cup Series, Kasey Kahne’s career abruptly ended in 2018 after suffering extreme heat exhaustion as his body struggled to properly keep him cool inside the race car.

Since then, he’s been competing in dozens of shorter sprint car races, but no lengthy stock car racing events. That changed earlier this year when NASCAR returned to Rockingham, a track Kahne loves. He finished second in the last-ever Cup race at ‘The Rock’ in 2004, and won the last Rockingham revival with the Truck Series in 2012.

Joining forces with Richard Childress Racing, it was like the 45-year-old never left, posting some of the most competitive speeds of anyone in the NASCAR Xfinity Series field. Starting fourth, he remained near the front for the early portion of the event. Unfortunately, he could not avoid the spinning Katherine Legge and damaged the right-front of his machine, ending his shot at the win. Undeterred, he soldiered on with the wounded No. 33 Chevrolet, finishing an impressive 14th in the high-attrition race.

Now, everyone wants to know what is next for Kahne. He is at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend, serving as the honorary pace car driver for Sunday’s Cup race. While there, he spoke with the NASCAR on FOX team, giving an update on if he has any plans to run more races in the future.

Referencing Rockingham, Kahne said “it definitely did” make him want to run more NASCAR races, but it doesn’t sound like has has anything concrete at the moment.

“I had a blast driving, and those cars are great to drive,” said Kahne. “So Rockingham, they did an awesome job on the repave. It was a lot of fun. I think, you know, would there be a chance to fit a race in again this year, maybe next … who knows?”

Kahne also gave his picks to win Sunday’s Cup race at Texas, pointing at Christopher Bell and Ryan Blaney as his drivers to watch. And while there’s no set date for his next NASCAR appearance, Kahne is keeping busy with his sprint car career. He revealed that he’s put over 100,000 miles on his motorhome in the last few years.

And after spending the weekend at TMS, Kahne admits that he does miss the weekly grind, but what he misses more than anything is the racing itself.

“I think driving the cars [is what I miss the most]. Definitely just driving the cars. Like every week, you’re just trying to figure out how to be better and what you can do as a driver with the team .. like how it all works to be better. I miss that side of it to be sure.”

FORT WORTH, Texas – It’s not always wins and top fives that tell the story when it comes to the NASCAR Cup Series points standings. 

Races like Sunday’s at Texas Motor Speedway – one in which William Byron and the No. 24 RAPTOR Chevy team rallied for a 13th-place finish after suffering damage on pit road – are just as important. 

So, instead of a disaster, Byron turned in a workmanlike top 15 and retained the top spot for yet another week in the standings. But he does have a hard charging Hendrick Motorsports teammate who is continuing to gain ground.

For the second straight week, Kyle Larson scored the most points of any driver in the field, winning stage two and piling up 17 stage points to go along with a fourth-place finish. With the result, he moved to within 13 points of Byron at the top. 

Chase Elliott took advantage of an early engine failure for Denny Hamlin and moved into a tie for third place while Alex Bowman remained in the top 10, in 10th.

After 267 laps of NASCAR Cup Series action, and overtime for good measure, reigning champion Joey Logano has won the 2025 Wurth 400.

In a race that saw 12 cautions thrown, the Team Penske star got himself into contention late on at Texas Motor Speedway having started way down in 27th, ultimately securing the victory with an overtime pass on Team Penske team-mate Ryan Blaney.

Blaney also went on to be overtaken by Ross Chastain in overtime, with the No. 12 Ford having to make do with third spot.

Elsewhere, Kyle Larson and Erik Jones rounded out the top five at Texas, followed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Austin Dillon, John Hunter Nemechek, Christopher Bell and Daniel Suarez, in that order.

Earlier in the race, after 75 laps of racing, Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota caught fire after experiencing an engine issue, seeing the first stage end under caution, with Austin Cindric taking the victory.

Then, in stage two, the caution came out to end the stage once again, this time following a tire blowout for Chris Buescher. Larson was the winner of that stage, although had close company from Tyler Reddick behind.

With that said, let’s take a look at the full race results from Texas.
