After years of saying that the next-generation 718 Boxster and Cayman will be electric only, Porsche reversed course on Monday. The sports car brand now says that "top" versions of the 718 will be available with gasoline engines. In today's polarized world, as an EV fan, this should enrage me. But it doesn't. It's the right call, even if you think the EV transition is happening too slowly.

The 2025 Toyota GR Corolla Premium Plus manual makes you work for speed. This top-tier hot hatch doesn't give instant power like most modern cars. Slide behind the wheel and fire up the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine. Drop into first gear expecting immediate drama. Instead, the engine feels sleepy below 3,000 RPM. It delivers power with all the urgency of a grocery-getter heading to Target.

The Ford Ranger in Thailand comes with a variety of engine choices. You will find the 2.0L Turbo and 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel engines, which are known for a good mix of power and fuel efficiency. For those who want top performance, the Ford Ranger Raptor variant stands out with a 3.0L V6 Twin-Turbo gasoline engine. Transmission choices are equally modern. A very responsive and smooth 10-speed automatic (often branded as E-Shifter) is paired with the top variants, while a 6-speed manual is available on base models.

We see them more useful for larger vehicles, because basically, you remove your range anxiety, and then you can, you can get [the] longer distances which are driven by the American consumer,

When two leaders of performance-driven design unite, the result is more than a collaboration-it is a redefinition of what is possible. The SEABOB SE63 for Automobili Lamborghini by CAYAGO AG is the most powerful seascooter ever built, merging marine innovation with Lamborghini's unmistakable design DNA. This exclusive special edition is not an incremental step forward; it is a bold leap that fuses visionary engineering, automotive passion, and raw power into one uncompromising watercraft.

LOUDON, N.H. -- Ryan Blaney opened the second round of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs with an emphatic victory for Team Penske, which flaunted its speed at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday. Blaney, the 2023 Cup champion, led 116 laps, including the final 39, to beat Josh Berry by 0.937 seconds for his third victory of the season. "What a cool day, what a cool weekend, super fast car," Blaney said. "It's great to get a win in the first race of the round."

Car seats are there for a lot: every traffic-induced meltdown, every spilled juice box, every road trip nap. Most importantly, they save lives. But while it's tempting to treat them like any other piece of kid gear when messes strike, they're not just another item you can toss in the wash. They're precision-built safety devices, and one misstep can compromise the parts designed to protect your child.

The Pregunta began life as a Diablo, but its transformation was anything but subtle. French coachbuilder Carrosserie Heuliez-Torino was commissioned to craft a completely new carbon fiber body, drawing inspiration from the Dassault Rafale fighter jet. The connection was more than superficial: the car was finished in the same matte dark grey paint used on the aircraft, creating an appearance that felt more military prototype than production-ready supercar.

The Gamechanger door was engineered to provide safer, more efficient access for passengers requiring mobility assistance. By relocating the lift door to the rear curbside of the van, the design maximizes interior space, improves passenger flow, and enhances curbside safety.

The more I deal in The Future® here at InsideEVs, the more I see things that didn't need to be reimagined. Things like a simple flap that pops open for electric-vehicle charging, for example, just like any gas car has-there's just no real need to motorize those things. Or the need for physical buttons instead of relying on a screen for everything.

The Swedish automaker says that owners of model year 2025 EX90s- like the one we tested earlier this summer -are eligible for an upgrade to the electric vehicle's core computer. Specifically, the cars will get a new dual Nvidia DRIVE AGX Orin setup, which Volvo says will improve performance and reduce battery drainage, as well as enabling some features that have been TBD so far.

The plug-in hybrid electric option (PHEV) is a versatile solution that is primarily designed to meet the demands of long-distance operations, enabling zero-emission zone compliance. It features integrated e-machine and six-speed powershift gearbox and can run in four different modes: electric, hybrid, charge sustain and forced charging. The electric range is up to 80 kilometres on a single charge, while the electric power output is 290 kilowatts, according to the specifications announced by the OEM.

Audi's in bad need of a win in China. Sales in its most important global market have been tanking in recent years as customers turn to more advanced options from local newcomers. So in order to turn things around, Audi's calling on a Chinese automaker to help make something suited to that country-and it seems to be working. Audi's namesake all-caps brand for China is actually off to a strong start.

A man was killed on Wednesday (17 September) on the National Mall in Washington, DC, while unloading a 1979 BMW Art Car that was custom-painted by Andy Warhol. According to the local ABC affiliate , a winch that had been holding the vehicle in place on a flatbed truck came loose and the man was pinned under the car. Despite efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene; his identity has not been released.

Last week we drove the new Nissan Leaf, an inexpensive compact electric vehicle. Now equipped with things like active battery thermal management, the new Leaf is actually Nissan's second modern EV, after the debut a couple of years ago of the Ariya SUV. But if you want an Ariya, you ought to hurry-the model has been cut from Nissan USA's offerings for model-year 2026, according to a report in Automotive News.

Its EVs tend to be class-leading in terms of electric range, fast-charging times, performance and more. But its in-car software experience has aged about as well as skinny jeans. The smartphone apps are slow and buggy. The infotainment system works just fine, but it's not fancy, and true over-the-air updates are few and far between. And none of it can be terribly personalized.

Hyundai just issued two separate recalls on its Palisade and Ioniq 6 vehicles, totaling more than 600,000 cars that might not be road safe. The first recall, which constitutes the bulk of the total affected vehicles, is related to potentially faulty seat belts. The second is due to a defect on some electric models that could result in their charging port panels detaching on the road.

It's not my job to fight the Chinese on price.

"First things first, though, we need to get the program funded, but letting everyone know our intentions, that will help," team owner Richard Freeman said. "Tony is a great driver; we all know he can drive anything. "He's great for drag racing, not just as a team owner but behind the wheel. We're excited that through our marketing alliance with Tony Stewart Racing, we're creating an opportunity for Tony to keep a Top Fuel seat and a chance to race alongside his wife, Leah."
