As the automotive world evolves, there’s less room for some familiar models. As such, the new year means we won’t be seeing some of our favorite cars in 2025. From extinct wallet-friendly muscle cars to retired shrieking V10 supercars, the landscape looks a bit different this year. 

1. Chevrolet Camaro

After years of nipping at the Ford Mustang’s ankles, the Chevrolet Camaro is out of gas. However, General Motors (GM) isn’t retiring the Camaro namesake for good. Instead, The seventh-generation Camaro will return, but not as a two-door coupe contender in the muscle car market.

During its run as a sixth-generation model, the Chevrolet Camaro was the most affordable V8-powered coupe and convertible available. At the tippy-top of the trim levels, the 650-horsepower Camaro ZL1 1LE set a blazing lap time of 7:16.04 at the famed Nürburgring. Still, the departure of the Chevrolet Camaro leaves the Ford Mustang as the sole member of the domestic muscle car market for 2025.

2. Jaguar F-TYPE

Before Jaguar launched the most critically hated rebranding effort in the history of the auto industry, Coventry put an end to its gas-powered lineup. Among the casualty cars for 2025, the brand discontinued the F-TYPE, its two-door spiritual successor to the iconic E-Type (XKE) of the 1960s and 1970s.

However, before its discontinuation, the post-facelift F-TYPE was a V8-only affair. In its top trims, car buyers could option the F-TYPE as an all-wheel drive (AWD) SVR variant with 575 horsepower on tap. The result? A sports car with a premium badge and an appetite for acceleration that took it to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.  

3. Lamborghini Huracán

Not even Lamborghini’s reputation as a raucous, hold-on-for-dear-life automaker is safe from the march of time. And the Sant’Agata Bolognese brand’s biggest casualty? It’s the Huracán. Lamborghini is pulling the plug on the V10 supercar to make room for its other cars in 2025, including the hybridized Temerario.

It’s the end of the naturally aspirated Lamborghini supercar as we know it. In its place, the upcoming Temerario will pack a plug-in hybrid V8 setup. What’s more, the Revuelto produces over 1,000 horsepower. However, the Revuelto is also a PHEV application.

4. Dodge Challenger

Dodge closed the books on the Challenger after the 2023 model year. Consequently, we won’t have the stubborn muscle car for 2025. Unlike the Charger, Dodge hasn’t announced any plans to revive the Challenger quite yet.

However, before it went out, the Dodge Challenger shattered its own segment records with the SRT Demon 170. The Mopar halo car turned 170-proof racing fuel (hence the name) into 1,025 horsepower. On a prepped surface, the Challenger SRT Demon 170 is the quickest production ICE car ever, hitting 60 mph in just 1.66 seconds. 

5. Audi RS 5 (Coupe)

The grand tourer segment continues to shrink. For 2025, the Audi RS 5 joins the industry graveyard, leaving the Sportback four-door model as the only remaining variant. Sure, you can still get the 444-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 in the Sportback, but you won’t get a coupe. In fact, after 2025, the days of the two-door A5 and S5 might be numbered.
