How VTEC Works: An Explainer
There are few sounds in the automotive orchestra as distinct as the VTEC kick. Characterized by a sudden jump in tone (and volume) coming from a high-revving, naturally aspirated Honda engine, the VTEC whomp has scored some of the greatest sports cars of all time. And also the neighbor kid’s straight-piped Integra. (Sorry—that was probably me).
Here's Why a BMW M5 is Cheaper Than an M3 in Ireland
Since I'm the sole European member of the Motor1 team, it's my responsibility to remind my American colleagues how good they have it. New cars are significantly cheaper in the US, and not just because my co-workers don't pay value-added tax. VAT can reach up to 27 percent of the car's value.
Mazda Crashes Hard After Being Brake Checked by Subaru
We’ve all done risky things behind the wheel, but I like to believe brake checking wasn't one of them. Doing it on a highway is exceptionally dangerous, as higher speeds increase the possibility of life-threatening repercussions. Fortunately, everyone in the dashcam footage recorded in Queensland, Australia lived to tell the story, but it could have gone much worse.
Hop Inside This Mercedes-AMG One as it Hits 215 MPH on the Autobahn
The AMG One hypercar was made to carve corners. Mercedes says it's a Formula 1 car for the road, after all. But having 1,049 horsepower means straight-line speed is also immense. Here's proof. The Gercollector YouTube channel filmed a recent outing with their own Mercedes-AMG One as they took it...
Watch the Ioniq 5 N Melt a Bunch of Ugly SUVs in a Drag Race
Looks are subjective. A purple Rolls-Royce Cullinan with a Mansory body kit doesn't look that bad, right? And the nostrils on the Brabus-tuned Mercedes-AMG G63 remind us of a ram air Pontiac Trans Am, circa 2001. As for the Lamborghini Urus Performante Essenza SCV12, it's not exceedingly different from the standard Urus. Though we'd feel a bit self-conscious driving a bright green SUV with racing numbers on the doors.
This Is the 300th Mazda MX-5 Cup Race Car
The Mazda MX-5 Cup one of the best entry-level sports racing cars in the world. Based on the ND Miata, the MX-5 Cup uses a sealed stock engine paired with a SADEV sequential gearbox, and gets a full roll cage plus extensive suspension and brake upgrades. The car competes in the one-make Global MX-5 Cup series—which produces some of the best racing on the planet—and it's also a popular choice for track-day goers. Flis Performance, the Daytona Beach, Florida shop charged with building MX-5 Cups, just built its 300th example.
There's a Mini Suzuka Go-Kart Track in Taiwan and It's Amazing
Suzuka Circuit, located in Suzuka, Japan, was built by Honda and opened in 1962. It was Japan's first proper race track, and it's a regular stop on the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. It's one of the greatest race tracks in the world, but this video isn't from Suzuka. It's from somewhere even cooler.
Spotted: Watch the New Porsche 911 GT3 Get Sideways on the Nürburgring
The Porsche 911 GT3 is one of the best cars on sale right now. With the company unveiling a newly refreshed 911 last month, it was only a matter of time until those updates trickled down to the rest of the range. A spy video from the Nürburgring published this week gives us a good idea of what to expect from the latest version of everyone's favorite 911 trim.
Watch This Tuned BMW M3 CS Smash Into Its Speed Limiter on the Autobahn
If there's one thing the BMW M3 CS doesn't need, it's more power. BMW says the twin-turbo straight-six under the hood makes 543 horsepower, but from behind the wheel, it feels more like 600 horses. The one in this video makes 750 hp, enough to get the car to its electronically limited top speed in no time at all.
The Maserati GranCabrio Is Better as an EV
Listen. Don't buy an electric car if you live somewhere where charging is a hassle. Don't rely on an EV if you regularly drive further in a day than a fully charged battery can take you. And definitely don't buy an EV you can't afford. Barring all of that: If...
Dead: Four-Cylinder Supra
Toyota revived the iconic Supra with a six-cylinder engine in 2019. Two years later, the company offered an entry-level four-cylinder model—and it was pretty darn good. But with Toyota making changes to Supra lineup for the 2025 model year, the four-cylinder model is nowhere to be found. The company...
Nissan Techs Are Making House Calls to Teach Owners How to Use Their Cars
In case you haven't noticed, modern vehicles are packed with features and technology. Even the Nissan Versa—the cheapest new car in the United States—has a 7-inch touchscreen with voice controls and buttons all over the steering wheel. Step up to something like the Ariya and there's even more to suss out. The basics are usually straightforward, but figuring out all the tech can be intimidating. Nissan wants to change that.
The Porsche 911 Channels Its Inner 1996 Ford Mustang With Fancy Paint
Porsche has plenty of history to pull from when designing vehicles. That includes all-new production models and one-off reinterpretations like this custom 911 Turbo S. Porsche built it to showcase the extent of its Sonderwunsch Factory Commissioning personalization program, based on one of four special Porsche 959s built in the late 1980s.
The Toyota Sequoia Is Fun but Flawed
The last time I did 70 miles per hour on Stephan Bridge Road—a wide dirt road stretching 10 miles through the woods—I was an arrogant high-schooler driving an old Ford Crown Victoria. Back then, I was showing off for friends en route to our favorite campground, but this time, my heavy foot was entirely by mistake. It’s a testament to just how stable and tidy this 2024 Toyota Sequoia Platinum is, be it cruising on a wet highway or going full rally on a bumpy backroad. It’s easy to forget this is a full-size, body-on-frame SUV.
This Electric Sports Car Charges Faster Than Any Other EV
Last year, UK-based startup Nyobolt made a very bold claim. The company released renderings of a small electric sports car that could recharge in about six minutes. We raised an eyebrow when we learned former Jaguar designer Ian Callum's company was involved in the process, but we were understandably skeptical. Now, we're less skeptical. This thing is real—as a prototype, anyway.
BMW M3 Electric: Everything We Know
BMW's push to electrify its lineup will take a huge step forward with the launch of the Neue Klasse platform. Set to underpin production vehicles in just two years, the electric-first architecture will make BMW's EVs more efficient, with faster recharge times and longer battery ranges. As expected, the company's electrification efforts will extend to the coveted M brand—and the iconic M3.
Mercedes Is Spending Big Money on Gas Engines Again
After conceding that its electrification goals have been overly ambitious, Mercedes is now pouring an obscene amount of money into combustion engines. In an interview with German publication Wirtschaftswoche, CEO Ola Källenius said ICE technology "will last well into the 2030s." To make sure gas engines will meet increasingly stringent regulations, massive investments are necessary.
Volvo Email to Customers: EX90 Will Be Missing Features at Launch
Volvo finally started production of the EX90 earlier this month after promising to deliver it to customers in early 2024. The automaker had to delay the EV's launch to fix some remaining software issues, and while deliveries still won't start until the second half of the year, the EX90 might not arrive in customers' driveways fully baked.
We're Driving The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Ask Us Anything
Call me basic, but I don’t think "electric vehicle" and "engaging driving experience" mix all that well. It’s like having orange juice right after brushing your teeth or taking a half gallon of milk to the gizzard after eating Thai food. But Hyundai decided to make me look a fool and build the spectacular 2024 Ioniq 5 N.
