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.

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.

A Laughing Rival to the Lamborghini Urus. The era of powerful, combustion-engine SUVs may be nearing its end as automakers, including Jeep under the Stellantis umbrella, shift focus to electric vehicles. However, the legacy of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk remains strong among petrolheads who appreciate raw, unbridled power. The Trackhawk, known for its formidable Hellcat V8 engine, continues to captivate enthusiasts even though it's no longer in production.

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 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.

There is a perception that a V-patern engine is better in terms of performance and efficiency, but the reality is a straight-six has so many advantages over its V-6 cousin. An inline engine only needs one head, gets by with half the cam shafts, and is easier to cool. I-6 engines also produce more torque at lower speeds and are perfectly balanced, making them quieter with less vibrations. Most importantly, a straight-six is cheaper to manufacture.

Ever since the Tesla Cybertruck landed in owner's hands, the unique and borderline contentious pickup truck has been subject to a plethora of experiments and tests. Not too long ago, we chronicled the trials of a dual-motor Cybertruck that was taken to a tractor pull, and ended up losing pretty miserably to a diesel-powered 6.7-litre RAM Cummins. However, with the Cybertruck's latest off-road update, the tables appear to have turned quite dramatically in the Cybertruck's favor.
