Throughout the first quarter of the 21st century thus far, the automotive landscape has become almost incomparable to that which came before it. Vehicles have changed to a point where they're almost unrecognizable from a mechanical standpoint, thanks to advancements such as electric turbochargers, hybrids, and electric vehicles. EVs specifically are playing a major role in the changing of the guard here, as they look to be the green future that the automotive industry is headed towards. However, this also suggests that the internal combustion engine will soon meet its definitive end.

There's Only One Naturally Aspirated V8 Sedan Left In America

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. Let's face it, most drivers look at driving as something to do between point A to B, while enthusiasts look at it as an experience to be enjoyed.

Rumor has it that Toyota is apparently researching and developing a new turbocharged four-cylinder that has the potential to become the world's most powerful four-banger. News comes from AutoEvolution in Romania, who got the scoop and heard about Toyota's new internal-combustion engine, which could see duty in the supposed new MR2 and Celica GRMN sports cars in the works for Japan's Domestic Market.

Toyota's Apparently Developing The World's Most Powerful Production 2.0-Liter Four-Banger

The 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera is the base model in the model's lineup, but there's nothing entry-level about it. Looking at its stats, the 911 Carrera is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat six-cylinder engine that produces 379 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. That kind of power can rocket the rear-drive coupe to 60 mph from a stop in only 4.0 seconds and up to a top speed of 182 mph.

10 Cheap Sports Cars That Can Keep Up With A Porsche 911

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.

Ford’s strategic pivot towards SUVs, trucks, and electric vehicles has significantly transformed its product lineup. Where once a vibrant array of passenger cars held court, now stands a world dominated by high-riding vehicles. A recent digital rendering of a potential 2026 Ford Thunderbird has ignited a nostalgic fervor, offering a tantalizing look into a potential resurgence of the iconic coupe.

The automotive world is mourning the loss of a legendary powertrain. General Motors has confirmed the impending retirement of its celebrated 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel engine. Renowned for its exceptional torque delivery, commendable fuel efficiency, and formidable towing capacity, the Duramax has been a cornerstone of GM’s full-size SUV lineup.

It's not a big surprise that the manual-transmission SUV is next up on the chopping block for vehicles sending the manual the way of the dodo. The appeal of the manual gearbox largely has to do with driver engagement. The appeal of the sports utility vehicle is mostly down to convenience in the modern automotive landscape. These two qualities are, if not incompatible, at least difficult to counterbalance. Then you add cost concerns into the mix, and it's easy to see why SUV makers would rather avoid spending millions developing a new stick shift and passing the expenses on to the buyer in a segment that frequently competes on price alone.

This is the Skoda Superb Sleeper Edition, and no, it’s not a Superb designed for sleeping in – although fold the back seats down and chuck a blow-up mattress back there and you’d probably be pretty cosy. No, it’s a sleeper as in a very pedestrian-looking car that packs in a huge amount of performance. You know the sort of thing – the E39 BMW M5, the C6 Audi RS6, et cetera.
