The Scary Tale Of The Largest Automotive Recall Ever
If you ever owned a new car from the model years 2000 to 2017, there's a very good chance you've received a notice from the NHTSA to get your airbags replaced. The Takata airbag recall is the biggest in history by a very wide margin. The second-biggest recall in automotive history started in 2014 for 30 million GM vehicles equipped with faulty ignition switches. The Takata airbag recall more than doubled that, with 67 million vehicles recalled by the NHTSA. And that's just for one country. Globally, the recall impacted more than 20 automakers and over 100 million vehicles.

The Untold Story Of The Porsche 924 Turbo Targa That Never Made It
Some of the most interesting cars in automotive history have faded into obscurity or had limited production runs. In the case of the Porsche 924 Turbo Targa, there was no production run at all, as only one car was built before the project fizzled out. This beautiful example of the topless 924 that never was now resides at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. Finished in Alpine White with a tartan-patterned interior, this one-off example still looks like it just rolled off the production line. According to the odometer, it only moved under its own power for 328 kilometers or just over 203 miles. Let’s dive into the history that led to the creation of this unique prototype.

Volvo EX90 Vs. Rivian R1S: Battle of the Electric Family Haulers
The competition is heating up in the electric SUV segment with the arrival of the Volvo EX90 for the 2025 model year. Equipped with enough safety gear to embark on a military operation and sporting an elegant, minimalist design both inside and out, the EX90 is set to be highly competitive for prospective buyers who need to haul up to seven passengers in comfort and luxury. One of the EX90’s direct competitors is the second-generation Rivian R1S, also a seven-seat all-electric SUV. Rivian is determined to build a name for itself in the EV market, and its offering is equally compelling, with a warm nature-inspired interior and oodles of tech features. Now that it has officially partnered with Volkswagen, it's even more of a rival. Let’s compare the R1S’ and EX90’s main features and see which one comes out on top.
BMW M Boss: Overweight M5 Is "The Best We Could Do"
CarBuzz had the opportunity to sit down with BMW M boss Frank van Meel at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this week, and he suggested that the obscene weight figure of the new M5 was absolutely necessary. Without fitting the plug-in hybrid system from the XM, the M5 may not even have existed; the only alternative would have been an all-electric EV, and as he's said before, high-performance mass-market EV technology "is not yet ready" for what BMW M requires.

Shortly after the unveiling of the all-new F1-inspired Red Bull RB17 hypercar today, Red Bull Racing CEO Christian Horner spoke to media, including CarBuzz, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and he revealed plenty of interesting details about the new creation, including how it almost wore a Ford badge. As reported last year, Ford and Red Bull are collaborating on a 2026 F1 entry as the latter prepares to produce its own engines for the first time. Simultaneously, the two are working on an electric vehicle together, so it's only natural to assume that Ford would want to capitalize on the fanfare. Or is it? According to Horner, not quite.

Red Bull RB17 Hypercar Revealed With 15,000-RPM V10
The Goodwood Festival of Speed has played host to several exciting reveals this week, but this is arguably the most amazing. It's the Red Bull RB17 hypercar, a track-only hypercar designed by the exceptional Adrian Newey, who has led the Red Bull Formula 1 team to six World Constructors' Championships. The new car is described by Red Bull Racing CEO Christian Horner as "Adrian Newey unleashed," with this creation combining several innovative technologies, including some that have been banned from the world of F1, like flexible side skirts and a double fan-blown full-length diffuser. In a nutshell, this is leagues beyond even what the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro could ever offer, and there's more than a passing resemblance to that car, which Newey also had a lot of influence in.

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan, with it's smoothly curved shape, is the brand's flagship electric vehicle - sibling to the iconic S-Class but powered by electrical motors. We're not sure why Mercedes decided on an entirely different name, shape, and engineering philosophy, though. This has always been our big question about the entire Mercedes EQ strategy, which has taken a far different direction than German rival BMW, which treats its EVs as a powertrain choice within their familiar model lineup instead.
