Listen to the New Lamborghini Scream to 10,000 RPM
Lamborghini will finally show the Huracan's successor on August 16 during the Monterey Car Week. The Italian supercar maker dropped a teaser video focusing on the supercar's high-revving engine to ease the wait. Unlike its predecessors featured in the clip, the Gallardo and Huracan, the new model won't have a naturally aspirated V-10. Nevertheless, the twin-turbo V-8 will be properly loud.
The New BMW M2 CS Might Make 518 Horsepower
BMW is expected to unveil an M2 CS later this year, complete with a slew of upgrades to better handle track work. The biggest change will be more power from the twin-turbo straight-six engine. Thanks to a rumor published by a reliable source on the Bimmerpost forums, we might already...
Hyundai Recalls 50,000 Cars for Airbags That Could Randomly Deploy
Hyundai has recalled the 2024 Santa Fe over a wiring problem that could deploy airbags at random. The same issue might cause the airbags to stop working altogether, meaning they may not deploy in the event of an accident. A total of 49,719 vehicles are affected, including 40,144 standard combustion SUVs and 9,575 hybrid models.
The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Looks Better Than It Drives
First impressions aren’t everything. Take this 2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. It looks great, easily the best-looking mid-size sedan out there, and its interior is both gorgeous and functionally superb. Then you drive the Sonata Hybrid. While it’s not a bad car by any stretch, it underwhelms compared to its sharply honed—if not as visually blessed—rivals.
The Nissan Frontier Finally Gets a Telescoping Steering Wheel
There's more standard equipment, and wireless Android Auto is now available, among other things. Nissan has a slew of updates for the 2025 Frontier. The mid-size pickup truck has been given a new face, a handful of revised trims, more equipment, and wireless AppleCarPlay and Android Auto for the first time.
This Is the Last V-8-Powered Maserati
Maserati, like most automakers, is getting ready for the future. New platforms, powertrains, and models are coming, so it's time to say goodbye to the current lineup. The Italian brand discontinued the V-8-powered Ghibli and Levante last year, and now it’s the Quattroporte’s turn to exit the stage along with the brand’s 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged engine.
VW Says the Electric GTI Will Be 'More Exciting' to Drive
It’s been nearly a year since Volkswagen signaled its intention to do an electric GTI. The ID. GTI Concept will evolve into a production model in 2026 for the European market. VW wants the hot hatch in the United States at a $25,000 price point but it's only wishful thinking at this point. Meanwhile, our colleagues at Motor1 Italy had a chat with the big boss in Wolfsburg about the first GTI without a combustion engine.
Dead: Ferrari SF90 Stradale
Ferrari's lineup has never been this comprehensive. There's always something happening in the Maranello stable, whether it's a next-gen car, an updated model, or a special edition. While this month doesn't bring the launch of any new vehicles, the Prancing Horse is bidding farewell to a couple of models: the SF90 Stradale and the 812 GTS.
Lamborghini Wants $376 for Swim Shorts
It's not uncommon for automakers to have side hustles, especially when it comes to apparel. And why not? Selling branded items to loyal customers goes beyond free advertising. People are paying to promote the brand. There's just one issue with this new deal between Lamborghini and high-end clothing company Orlebar Brown. Nearly everything in this very expensive line of beachwear is devoid of Lambo logos.
Autocrossing a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Looks Like Our Kind of Fun
Everyone loves a fish-out-of-water story. In the automotive world, it's hard to get more out-of-water than a big ol' V-8 muscle car pounding through cones in an autocross, usually the domain of svelte sports cars and hot hatchbacks. So when this video of a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass appeared on the...
This 150k-Mile Toyota 2JZ Still Looks New Inside
When someone mentions Toyota 2JZ, you probably think Supra. It's the engine that turned the Mk4 Supra into a legend, after all. But the 2J was used in a lot of different cars. This particular mill came from a 2005 Lexus GS300, the last year the sedan came with the old inline-six. And we get a chance to see just what it's made of in this I Do Cars teardown video.
It's Incredible How Badly Low-Quality Fuel Can Damage Your Engine
When you fill up your tank, you don't really think much about the gasoline that's going inside. Just choose the correct octane rating for your car, and that's it, right? Wrong. Which premium fuel you choose can differ wildly in quality, according to the experts. Total Seal Piston Rings on...
The Aston Martin Valkyrie Le Mans Car Sounds Lovely
Aston Martin is shaking down its Valkyrie AMR-LMH endurance race car, and no surprise, it sounds wonderful. The brand posted a very short video clip of the car running at both Silverstone and Donnington Park, and while there's unfortunate music in the background, we get a very good listen to its naturally aspirated 6.5-liter Cosworth V-12. We can't wait to hear this echoing down the Mulsanne at Le Mans.
The Ineos Grenadier Is Too Old-School for Its Own Good
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.
Tragedy: Real Vintage Ferrari Le Mans Race Car Goes Up in Flames
Vintage Ferrari race cars are rare enough, and successful ones even more so. That's why it’s so heartbreaking to see one go up in flames. Video and photos posted to social media show a 1971 Ferrari 512M, supposedly driven by Sam Posey to a third-place finish at that year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, engulfed in flames as it circled Watkins Glen International raceway last month.
DOT Investigating One Million Dodge Journeys That Could Trap People Inside
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating all model years of the Dodge Journey for a disturbing issue. The door locks and windows may not function properly, preventing people inside from getting out. Tragically, there is one report of a crash resulting in a fatal fire where a person was trapped inside.
How I'm Mounting the Engine In My Garage-Built Hybrid Sports Car
If you haven’t read the introduction post already, I’m building a hybrid sports car in my garage. Yes, an entire sports car, top to bottom. It’s intended to be "open-source" when complete, with every part fabricated off-site. That means every component needs a specification, the whole build planned out before any custom hardware is ordered.
Now Audi Is Saying Gas Cars Could Stick Around
One by one, automakers are backtracking on the ambitious EV goals they set a few years ago. Audi is the latest to acknowledge that sales of cars with combustion engines might continue beyond the previously scheduled cutoff date. In 2021, the company with the Four Rings promised to transition to electric-only vehicles by 2033, but it is now considering keeping ICE vehicles in its lineup for a longer period.
Watch Lexus Test Its New High-Performance Coupe
It's been two and a half years since Toyota took the Tokyo Auto Salon by storm with its hugely promising GR GT3 Concept. As a refresher, that car will evolve into a successor to the Lexus RC F GT3 scheduled to go racing in 2026. A new spy video shows what appears to be its street-legal counterpart, which will use a Lexus badge instead.
The GR Corolla Is No Longer Manual-Only
The 2025 GR Corolla goes on sale later this year with an eight-speed automatic gearbox option, more torque, and improved cooling. The Toyota GR Corolla has been on sale for two years now with only one gearbox option—the six-speed manual. That changes for the 2025 model year, as the automaker has added an eight-speed automatic transmission as an option. The automaker has also made a number of performance upgrades to the car, including more torque and better cooling.
