American Motor Voice

Jeff Freymuller, 44, was arrested on June 6 after leading Florida Highway Patrol troopers on a high-speed motorcycle chase across Pasco and Hernando counties, reaching speeds exceeding 145 mph before surrendering in New Port Richey (frontpagedetectives.com). First clocked at 104 mph in a 45 mph zone, Freymuller ran multiple red lights during a roughly 16-minute pursuit along State Road 52 and the Suncoast Parkway (tampabay28.com).

He was charged with fleeing and eluding law enforcement and with violating Florida's "super speeder" statute for traveling over 100 mph (frontpagedetectives.com). That law, Florida Statute §316.1922, took effect on July 1, 2025, and criminalizes driving 50 mph or more over the posted limit or exceeding 100 mph in a manner that threatens safety—offenses that previously often resulted in only a traffic ticket (pnj.com). First-time offenders face up to 30 days in jail, fines up to $5,000, and potential license suspension, with repeat violations escalating toward felony-level Habitual Traffic Offender designation (amcdefenselaw.com).


A freshly delivered Koenigsegg Jesko Attack, chassis #7277, has joined a private collection in Chicago, finished in Imperial Blue metallic with extensive exposed carbon fiber options reportedly totaling around $200,000 (thesupercarblog.com). The carbon treatment covers the Slipstream, Slingshot, and Pebble Beach stripes along with wing mirrors, rear air intakes, and lightweight AirCore wheels, while the interior features Desiato leather across the seats, steering wheel, headliner, and gear selector (us.auto-mania.fr).

Powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with the Environmental Power Upgrade, the Jesko Attack can produce up to 1,600 hp on E85 fuel and is oriented toward maximum downforce and track performance (thesupercarblog.com). Delivered through Koenigsegg Chicago, the car reportedly joins a father-son hypercar garage, further establishing the city as a destination for top-tier collector vehicles (thesupercarblog.com).


Jeep has issued a recall covering 1,076,999 Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles from the 2021–2025 model years due to a fire risk stemming from a faulty electrical connection in the electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring, which can overheat and ignite even when the vehicle is parked and turned off (motor1.com). NHTSA confirmed the recall and strongly urged owners to park their vehicles outside and away from other vehicles and buildings until a repair is available (nhtsa.gov). Notably, no remedy is available yet — owner notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning July 9, and FCA will follow up when a fix is ready (nhtsa.gov).

Jeep estimates only about 0.1% of affected vehicles actually have the defect, but the sheer scale of the recall — 787,887 Wranglers and 289,112 Gladiators — makes it a significant safety advisory (edmunds.com). Stellantis first investigated the issue in May 2023 but closed the inquiry a year later due to low occurrence rates, only to reopen it in August 2024 after a spike in reported incidents prompted NHTSA to launch its own investigation (motor1.com).


Cape Advanced Vehicles (CAV), a South Africa-based outfit with 27 years of experience building continuation-quality GT40 restomods, is teasing an all-new mid-engined supercar it calls the "Special Project," with a full reveal set for June 18 to coincide with the 60th anniversary of Ford's iconic 1-2-3 Le Mans finish (carbuzz.com). The car is expected to pack a V8 producing 500 horsepower naturally aspirated and up to 800 horsepower with forced induction, wrapped in retro-inspired styling that includes vertical tail lamps mounted on a CNC-machined aluminum cantilever (carbuzz.com).

CAV is no startup garage project — it has earned a strong reputation for modernizing the GT40 platform while respecting the original's proportions (autos.yahoo.com). The new supercar fills a unique gap, sitting between the multimillion-dollar originals locked in private collections and existing continuation cars from companies like Superformance that serve a different market niche entirely (thesupercarblog.com).
