Full-size luxury convertibles are scarce in today's automotive landscape, but Cadillac may be reviving the segment with the gorgeous Sollei, an all-electric concept that celebrates the automaker's legacy of high-end convertibles. Cadillac says the design pushes the envelope of "future bespoke commissions," which suggests the Sollei may make it to production - perhaps as a bespoke Spectre rival built in limited numbers. Sollei is a portmanteau of sun (Sol) and leisure (Lei), which is what this vehicle is all about.

Carroll Shelby’s iconic 1965 Cobra is a hot rod with two identities—in one breath, its two doors, lack of a roof, short wheelbase, and nimble characteristics make it a sports car. However, with a high-performance pushrod engine that could range from 289 to 427 cubic inches under its hood, the Cobra deserves consideration in the muscle-car category, too.

Shortly before 3 AM, people in the Chicago area may have felt their houses shake as a 3.4-magnitude earthquake occurred about 60 miles west of the city. (CHICAGO) The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a 3.4-magnitude earthquake around Somonauk, IL. Somonauk is in DeKalb and LaSalle Counties, 64 miles west of Chicago.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.
