During an era where extreme performance is filtered through drive-by-wire systems and clever algorithms, Bugatti chief executive officer Mate Rimac wants to draw a line in the sand. Speaking with Road & Track at Monterey Car Week, the big kahuna left no doubt about his desire to build a stick-shift V12 hypercar. When asked if there was room in the French automaker's portfolio for a three-pedal…

In 1968, the Road Runner debuted as Plymouth's entry-level muscle car. It became a big hit, moving 44,303 examples in its first year in showrooms. Although this figure was well surpassed by the 1969 version, the 1968 Road Runner is quite the common classic. But you won't see many like this silver example here.... ( continue reading... )

Tesla unveiled the Semi Class-8 truck in 2017, and has been slowly dragging its feet toward volume production since then. That moment finally came in April, and now Tesla is looking to expand Semi sales into Europe. Unsurprisingly, sales of the European-spec Tesla Semi will start at IAA Transportation in Hannover, the same event that hosted Semi's European public debut in 2024. Tesla Semi is no…

Few things pull a driver out of their groove quite like flipping the windshield wipers during a downpour only to watch the rubber blades stay parked at the bottom of the windshield. In an era where even the simplest of analog functions are governed by code, hardware failure is rarely to blame. That reality has hit home for Chrysler, which announced safety recall 77D for certain Jeep vehicles.…

Gearheads are a lovely bunch. They could sit around a car, staring at the open engine bay literally for hours on end, just talking.

In the fast-paced world of automotive manufacturing, shared component bins and adjacent assembly lines are critical for efficiency. But when parts meant for a body-on-frame pickup truck end up bolted into a unibody sedan, there will be compromises.

The Praga Bohema is not one of those cars to be in the news all that much. Made by a Czech company that kind of values its privacy, the supercar is a road-legal circuit weapon that mostly lives its life on the track, bringing joy to drivers who like to spend their spare time going to track days. And it is because of this that we get to hear new things about it from time to time. Earlier this…

There was a time when a base trim level was truly base, a tactic designed to nudge buyers toward higher-margin options.

There is a magic to the Audi Sport 2.5-liter TFSI's distinct 1-2-4-5-3 firing order. Mashing the loud pedal in the RS 3 results in a mechanical symphony that echoes off the firewall, a sound that stands out well above the 2.0-liter TFSI of the S3. A gravelly warble that harkens back to Group B monsters of the 1980s, if you will. For decades, the Audi Sport five-cylinder turbo has served as an…

August has probably been the most hectic month for me this year, and it's not over yet. I can tell just by looking at my Gran Turismo 7 account details. I've barely driven 60 miles in three weeks.
