If you’ve never driven a Tesla before, it’s something of an immediately alien experience. The tip-in acceleration isn’t like any gasoline-powered car on the market, because it doesn’t need to ramp up. If you stomp on the throttle in an EV, it goes right when you tell it to go. Quicker acceleration is a major selling… Read more.

The 1,300 BYD all-electric supercar, the Yangwang U9 (), gets a close-up review on YouTube, and we’re left with the impression that all that power suddenly doesn’t look so appealing in person.

Tesla Cybertruck's range failed to impress, mostly because the 4680 cells did not live up to expectations. However, Tesla continues to improve the chemistry and the manufacturing process. Chemistry improvements promise a 10-20 percent boost in energy density, which Cybertruck fans would much appreciate. Tesla bet the house on the success of its 4680 cells.

Here’s something we don’t stumble across every day: a real 1970 badass hemicuda that’s not a 426 anymore. The backstory is mostly obscure, but the owner wants $200,000 for it, although it’s so far off the old block that it’s hardly worthy of its hemispherical nobility title anymore. The Barracuda made a spectacular comeback in 1970, taking the 426 cubic inch (7.0-liter) engine in custody a. ( continue reading.

‘My Bugatti is too crammed, unpractical, and high-octane smelly,’ said no hyper-rich owner ever, but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and pretend there would be such a case. For the sheer amusement of the imagination, let’s also say that Bugatti would happily indulge the pretentious complainer with an alternative.

We're often told that aviation is safer nowadays than any other form of motorized transportation. In no uncertain terms, you're more likely to harm yourself buckled into a passenger car than you are strapped into a passenger airliner. It might be easy to pass this off as hyperbole, nothing more than a successful PR campaign like so many bold claims of history.

Once someone determines a car will become a classic, they go out of their way to maintain it in as good condition as possible. For most, that means making sure they are kept in climate-controlled facilities and started as often as possible. For others that means using a hoist in a bid to keep the car off the ground altogether. That's how this amazing 1970 Dodge Charger R/T spent a good portion of its life.
