5 Muscle Cars to Buy in 2025

Freshly hatched muscle cars are thin on the ground, with only a few models available for a decerning driver. However, the main makers of Dodge, Ford, and the last stock of Camaros are still available.
Below we delve into five of the most lively modern muscle cars available today.

1. Ford Mustang Dark Horse

The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse is for the driver who wants a bit more power than the Mustang GT and is more track-focused. Equipped with a 5.0-litre V8 engine, it delivers 339kW or roughly 500 horsepower, through either a six speed manual, or 10-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain enables the Dark Horse to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 4 seconds. The vehicle’s handling is enhanced by a Torsen limited-slip differential and MagneRide adaptive dampers, ensuring precise control and a smooth ride.
We don’t purchase a muscle car for the interior tech., but features like the ‘Line Lock’ allow burnouts on demand.

2. Ford Mustang

No one would have predicted the Ford Mustang would sell so well in Europe, but as the cheapest V8 on the market, the regular Mustang has become a viable alternative as a mid-priced sports car.
2024 saw a bunch of updates which include a new frontend and updated interior mods.
The V8 powerplant is now better at lower speeds, with better handling, probably to better handle the smaller more winding European roads.
Muscle car goodness without breaking the bank.

3. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

If only the Camaro had taken a leaf out of the Mustang book and provided a right-hand drive model for Europe, it might still be around. However, there are still models available, just in left-hand drive.
looks-wise, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 looks like a mean supercar and can be bought for the price of a Golf GTI. Under the hood lies a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine, producing a staggering 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, good for 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.5 seconds. Better than a twice-the-price Porsche.
The functional rear spoiler and front splitter enhances stability at high speeds. Inside, Recaro sport seats and a state-of-the-art infotainment system provide both comfort and connectivity.

4. Dodge Charger SRT Redeye Jailbreak

Dodge Charger SRT Redeye Jailbreak remains a formidable contender. Its supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8 engine churns out an astonishing 800 horsepower, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, with a quarter mile time of 11.5 seconds.
This model is really for those wanting all out straight line speed, and nothing else. If you want to drive mostly around windy tracks, maybe look elsewhere. But, for less than $80K, its supercar speed with muscle car heritage.

5. Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing seamlessly merges luxury with muscle car performance. It houses a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine that delivers 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 4 seconds. The Magnetic Ride Control system adapts to road conditions in real time, providing an optimal balance between comfort and performance. Inside, opulent materials and advanced technology, including a 12-inch digital gauge cluster, create a refined driving environment.
Basically, muscle car performance, with the ability to carry the whole family around.
