The luxury SUV, created by Effortless Motors, reportedly disappeared between October 20–22 after being “picked up” by a fraudulent transport operator. Authorities are investigating FirstLine Trucking LLC, the company contracted to move the vehicle, which claims its systems were hacked.

One thing’s for sure — whoever took it might find themselves facing a real full-court press!.

For now, GM’s focus will stay on perfecting its current lineup, including the hybrid C8 E-Ray. Forecasts show the C8 program running through 2028, with the next-gen C9 likely keeping an internal combustion engine well into the 2030s.
Translation: the roar of the V8 isn’t going away anytime soon.
