We already know almost everything about the Skoda Elroq, the next compact electric SUV from the Czech manufacturer. All that's missing now is style. Between official photos and test shots, it has always been dressed in classic camouflage. The mule shown in this video, shot at the Nürburgring, also features camouflage.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

The Bugatti Tourbillon stands as an unparalleled testament to automotive artistry and engineering, a hypercar that redefines the boundaries of luxury. In stark contrast to performance-focused models like the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, which prioritizes raw power and driver engagement, the Tourbillon appeals to a clientele seeking an automotive equivalent of haute couture.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

The Only American-Built Pickup Truck With A Manual Transmission

The manual transmission may be dying, but the 7-speed manual transmission is all but dead. This peculiar transmission type first popped up in 2012 with the introduction of the 991 generation of the Porsche 911. In that instance, Porsche and transmission supplier ZF engineered the manual and PDK to share many of the same components to help fuel economy and make parts more common along the range. Today, only one vehicle still uses a 7-speed manual in the US, and instead of speed and fuel efficiency, it's built for improved off-road prowess.

The 5.9L Cummins diesel engine is best known for its time when it powered Dodge trucks beginning in 1989, and it's an engine that certainly helped propel the Ram into being one of the top pickup truck brands. If you're looking to get as much performance as possible out of 5.9L Cummins diesel, then you need to set your sights on the latest iteration of the engine that you can find. For the first several years, there's no difference in performance as the engine produced 160 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque from 1989 to 1993.

Ah, the coupe SUV. It's the oxymoron of the automotive industry, this ridiculous idea of combining the high ride height of an SUV with the coupe profile of a two-door sports car, hindering the vehicle's practicality in the process.

The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Pro 4Matic+ will hit the American market next year. This is Mercedes' latest answer to the Porsche 911 GT3, following a series of cars that didn't quite hit the mark. The last attempt was 2017's bright green AMG GT R, which is the closest the GT ever came to usurping the throne.

The online marketplace, known for everything from bargain finds to jaw-dropping rarities, has released a list of its most extravagant purchases in the United Kingdom for the first half of the year – and let’s just say, it’s a petrolhead’s dream (or nightmare, depending on your bank balance).

The sad truth that every car enthusiast has faced over the past decade is that the manual transmission is slowly being phased out. While there are certain cars in the market like the Honda Civic Si, Acura Integra Type S, Mazda MX-5, and some pony cars still available with a stick shift, most other models are not.

For decades, Porsche has been synonymous with exhilarating performance, epitomized by the iconic 911 and the unmistakable sound of Porsche's flat-six engines. The brand's history is intertwined with the evolution of the sports car, defining benchmarks for handling, power, and design. However, the automotive industry is undergoing a seismic shift towards electrification, and Porsche, along with other brands from the Volkswagen group, like Audi, is at the vanguard of this transformation. Recognizing the need to balance tradition with innovation, Porsche has embarked on an ambitious electrification strategy without giving up on internal combustion engines, partly due to the slowdown in the electric car market this year.
