Cadillac has once again tossed a curveball into the automotive world with the Sollei, an audacious open-air electric car that hearkens back to the days when cars were more about style and less about practicality. This isn't your run-of-the-mill electric vehicle; it's a piece of art on wheels, blending the...

Cadillac Sollei Is Sunshine On Wheels

Cadillac has unveiled the Sollei concept, an ultra-luxury four-seat convertible. The car is based on the Celestiq and “pushes the boundaries of future bespoke commissions.”. The attention to detail is impressive and the woodwork is a sight to behold. The Cadillac Celestiq marked the brand’s return to the ultra-luxury...

Speed 0-60 MPH 4.5 Seconds (est.) Base Price $60,000 (est.) The Chrysler Firepower concept debuted at the 2005 Detroit Auto Show as a follow-up to the radical ME Four-Twelve supercar revealed a year earlier. This car would serve as a bridge between the Crossfire (on sale at the time) and the aspirational ME supercar, and would use the Dodge Viper chassis. The Firepower previewed what might have been possible for the brand as Chrysler tried to infuse high-performance driving dynamics and a premium feel into its future products. But it never came to fruition.

When Ford launched the 2025 Maverick yesterday, it finally gave people what they wanted: A hybrid AWD version. As it turns out, the Blue Oval is expanding the lineup further with the launch of the Lobo. Spanish for "Wolf" (also the F-150's name in Mexico), the new flavor is a street-oriented performance truck.

The Ford Maverick Lobo Is the Street Truck Reborn

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

It is extremely difficult to not be charmed by the Ineos Grenadier’s old-school persona at a glance. That’s deeply intentional; When Ineos chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe couldn’t buy the rights to produce the original Defender after Land Rover discontinued the model in 2016, he simply decided to replace it. That explains the Landie-like two-box styling, squared-off wheel arches, and a full-time four-wheel-drive system. It looks like a 1990s Defender 110 with a dash of Cyberpunk 2077 thrown in, and it turns heads.

The reveal of the all-new successor to the Lamborghini Huracán is just under a fortnight away, with Monterey Car Week set to play host to the glamorous event. While this new supercar will mark steps forward in several areas, it will also pay tribute to the past, something that Lamborghini has highlighted in a new teaser video. The clip features the very first baby Lambo, the Gallardo, revving its even-firing 5.0-liter V10 engine, before transitioning to the Huracán Tecnica revving its 5.2-liter odd-firing V10. Finally, the clip concludes with the new supercar's engine idling. All of this seems to suggest that despite the addition of forced induction, Sant'Agata's latest supercar will provide just as visceral an exhaust note as its predecessors.

Lamborghini's V8 Supercar Won't Be Overshadowed By Its V10 Predecessors

We are unabashed fans of the Lexus LC. With its smooth and sonorous 471-horsepower V8 under the hood, concept car come-to-life styling, and luxurious and detailed interior, there's an argument to be made that it's the finest grand touring car on the market here in 2024. Particularly as Lexus fixed it's biggest niggle - the only thing we complained about.

The Lexus LC500 is not doing very well. After a banner year of 2,782 sales in 2021, Lexus moved fewer than half that many units in 2022. An uptick was recorded in 2023, and year-to-date sales for 2024 have outpaced those of last year. Regardless, it’s not looking like the LC500 will surpass its sales prime.

Essentially a crossover version of the Golf, the T-Roc isn't sold in the United States. That's not exactly a tragedy since we have enough SUVs already here, including the slightly larger Taos. What makes the T-Roc different than nearly all other high-riding models is the convertible version. Yes, a crossover with an electrically folding fabric top is available in 2024.

We last reviewed a Lexus RC F in December 2018, and back then the RC F had already been around for a while. It’s still in the Lexus lineup today, but they’ve added a more performance-oriented version of the car since then with the RC F Track Edition.

Neglecting to change your car's oil is about the worst thing you can do for your engine. Motor oil is the lifeblood of your car, cleaning out debris and particulates as it circulates through all the pipes and crevices of your engine. So having fresh oil is vital. Go tens of thousands of miles without changing it, and really bad stuff can happen.

The 2025 Ford Maverick just debuted last week, ushering in the compact pickup’s very first refresh. That mid-cycle update brought forth quite a few notable changes, however, including tweaks to the trim level lineup, the introduction of the new, street performance-focused Lobo, a fresh look up front, and a handful of tech and mechanical updates, to boot. As Ford Authority previously reported, order banks for the 2025 Ford Maverick opened up on August 1st, but now, we know when production is slated to begin, too.

It'll have more than 887 horsepower from a twin-turbo V-8 hybrid setup. Finally, the Huracan replacement has a debut date. Tucked away in a press release about H1 2024 sales results is Lamborghini's announcement about introducing its all-new supercar on August 16. Reportedly named Temerario, the third plug-in hybrid from Sant'Agata Bolognese will premiere during the Monterey Car Week.

One of the most controversial executives in the car industry is not afraid to call things as he sees them. After saying Nissan is "boring, mediocre" and in a "bad position" while describing the Renault-Nissan alliance as "small and fragile," the 70-year-old fugitive now has something to say about the newly formed Honda-Nissan-Mitsubishi partnership.
