This Is the Most Powerful Porsche Panamera Ever
Days after setting a Nürburgring record, the hottest Panamera of them all is official. Porsche debuted the Turbo S E-Hybrid equipped with an electrified V-8 engine making serious power. Not only is it more potent than its predecessor but it also comes with a substantial battery upgrade. Sticky tires, a carbon fiber aero kit, and a rich list of standard equipment boost its appeal.
A Street-Legal Red Bull RB17 Hypercar Is Coming
There are a few problems with the Red Bull RB17: It costs £5 million ($6.5 million), it's sold out, and it can't be driven on public roads. However, the 50 customers who had the money and bought the car quickly will be able to fix that last issue. Courtesy of Lanzante, the Cosworth-powered machine is getting a street-legal conversion.
Lexus Spices Up a Boring Crossover with the GR Corolla's Engine
We don't get the Lexus LBX here in the United States, nor the Toyota Yaris Cross upon which it's based. That's not exactly a tragedy, since it's just the umpteenth crossover that would compete in an already crowded segment. However, the smallest vehicle with the spindle grille just got a whole lot more interesting. Enter the LBX Morizo RR, complete with the GR Corolla's engine.
Mini Might Make an Off-Road SUV
Mini doesn't have an off-roader, but that might change. Mini of the Americas Vice President Michael Petyon recently told CarBuzz that an off-road Countryman could be coming soon. It's not a full-on confirmation, but it suggests that Mini is at least thinking about a version for going off the beaten path.
Driving a $600,000 Trophy Truck Simulator Was Awesome
Deep in the South Bay of Los Angeles, in a nondescript warehouse not far from some truly exceptional Korean food, is what I consider to be the global headquarters of racing simulators: CXC Simulations. Since 2007, a small team of passionate racers led by founder Chris Considine has built the world’s best racing simulators from the ground up, including dozens of one-off special projects. This is one of them.
Genesis Says Customers Want 'Hybrid More Than EV'
It's happening across the industry—automakers that made audacious claims promising to electrify their lineups are now reevaluating roadmaps and readjusting expectations. Buyers aren't opting to purchase electric vehicles at the rate automakers had hoped, forcing many to temper their plans, including Genesis, which is now taking a slight detour in its electrification strategy to launch as many new hybrid models as possible.
Ferrari's First EV Debuts in 2025
Ferrari will reveal its first electric vehicle before the end of 2025. We know little about it, and that will probably remain the case until it debuts—unless Ferrari wants us to know something. In the meantime, the automaker is making big, somewhat vague, promises to its customers about what they should expect from the new EV.
Love It Or Hate It, the Cybertruck Has Merit
When I drove a Tesla Cybertruck recently, the owner told me he bought it because his kids thought it was cool. The kids knew their friends would, too. But when they showed up to school in the triangular Tesla, every other student whipped out their phone. The Cybertruck was literally...
The Toyota Tundra Is Beating Ram in Market Share
Full-size pickup trucks absolutely dominate American roads, and Detroit-based brands historically dominate the segment. It's been like this for decades, but Toyota is on the cusp of something extraordinary. Tundra sales are growing, and so is its market share. In fact, S&P Global says the Tundra market share has surpassed...
2025 Cadillac Escalade: This Is It
Hot on the heels of the electric Cadillac Escalade IQ, the luxury automaker is updating its gas-powered behemoth for 2025. The Escalade has a new face, a massive touchscreen, and for all you enthusiasts out there—the Escalade-V sticks around for another year. If the gas Escalade looks a lot...
How Fernando Alonso Helped Make the Perfect Aston Martin
The Aston Martin Valour is an incredibly good time. But Aston Martin Formula 1 driver and two-time champion Fernando Alonso wanted a Valour with a twist. Such a big twist, it turns out, Aston decided to build Alonso his own car. The Aston Martin Valiant has half a roll cage,...
Audi Isn't Making Coupes and Convertibles Anymore
The axe started to fall on two-door Audi models in 2019 when the A3 Cabriolet was discontinued. The summertime sadness carried on last year when the TT Roadster drove off into the proverbial sunset, taking the TT Coupe with it. A few months ago, the final R8 left the assembly line, effectively putting an end to the mid-engine Coupe and Spyder supercar.
Audi Is Getting Rid of Fake Exhausts Because Everyone Hates Them
Over the previous decade, Audi developed a nasty habit of putting fake exhaust tips on some of its models. The diesel S5 sold in Europe was probably the worst offender, but the SQ5 and S6 were just as bad. Thankfully, the faux pipes are a thing of the past as Audi has pledged to get rid of the controversial setup.
Hyundai's Three-Row EV Launches Later This Year
It’s official—Hyundai’s three-row electric SUV debuts later this year and goes on sale for 2025. The automaker could call it the Ioniq 9, serving as the brand’s equally large equivalent to the Kia EV9 and an electrified alternative to its Palisade. Hyundai was caught testing the...
Pagani Is Still Working on an Electric Hypercar
It’s still unclear when we'll see an electric Pagani hypercar. The supercar maker has been exploring the idea of an EV for over five years, but it still has numerous concerns about the technology. Pagani says it could water down what makes its cars so special. But the company hasn't given up on the idea, either.
This Tiny Rotary Engine Is More Powerful Than It Looks
Combustion engines will probably be with us for a long time. Automakers like Toyota have announced new investments into gasoline powertrains, while enterprising companies like Avadi are radically redesigning them for a more sustainable future. Avadi's new engine prototype reimagines the rotary, replacing the spinning Dorito with a rotating piston.
It's Over: Clarkson, Hammond, and May End Their TV Partnership
We heard reports that The Grand Tour was ending—but now it's official. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are dissolving their TV partnership and closing up shop on their production company, W. Chump and Sons, for good. According to The Daily Mail, the trio is parting ways after...
Here's Why the Lotus Evija X Crashed at Goodwood
Last week at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a rare Lotus Evija X race car crashed off the starting line of the hill climb. The nearly 2,000-horsepower electric hypercar barely made it a few feet before ending up nose-first in a barrel of hay. But now we know exactly what happened.
The 2025 Lucid Air Is Now More Efficient Than Any Other EV
The Lucid Air is only a couple of years old, but the automaker is eager to give it a minor update. The entry-level Air Pure model gets a new 84.0-kilowatt-hour battery pack for 2025 that provides up to an EPA-estimated 420 miles of range on a single charge without raising the trim’s starting price.
The Rear-Wheel-Drive Porsche Macan EV Is Cheaper, Lighter
When Porsche introduced the electric Macan at the beginning of the year, it only showed the 4 and Turbo models. Now the rear-wheel-drive and 4S trims join the lineup. The new base model ditches the front motor to shave off 243 pounds compared to the Macan 4 while the 4S slots between the 4 and the flagship Turbo.
