With an incredibly limited run of McLaren F1s ever produced, a mere 106, it's surprisingly easy to keep track of where the cars end up and the legends they accrue as time goes by. But somehow seven of those cars have gone missing.
Some bad designs are noticeable right away, their poorly-considered executions slap you in the face like a slice of wet ham. Others are more insidious, with problems lurking stealthily under the surface.
I realized how out of touch I was regarding modern headlights this past week when I finally got a chance to drive Porsche's new EV, the Taycan.
Uber even went so far as to argue in open court that creating an email address for drivers to opt out of an arbitration provision was too technically difficult for it to implement.
The EPA rated the new 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo's range at just 201 miles on a charge. That's worse than almost every other electric car on sale today, and far worse than the 300 miles Porsche teased a couple of years ago, so what made the EPA figure so low?
The Jaguar E-Type was an incredible car when it debuted in 1961. It had disc brakes, independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and monocoque construction that made it lightweight and resulted in great performance, especially for a car as inexpensive as it was. It was called the most beautiful car ever made by Enzo Ferrari, and it routinely tops automotive journalist's lists of best-looking cars. I disagree.
It wasn't a Rolls Royce, nor was it a 7 Series or even a Maybach. No, in my 12-year-old mind, the Lincoln Town Car signified power and mobility in 2000s New York City.
At Tuesday's National Transportation Safety Board's hearing on the death of Elaine Herzberg, the woman struck and killed by Uber's self-driving test vehicle in March 2018, Uber hardly found itself in the firing line.
One of the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E's most interesting design features is its lack of traditional door handles.
A few years ago, Mustapha Harb realized there was a problem in his field of research about how autonomous cars will change the way people travel.
From across a table crowded with wine bottles, my friend, Mitya Sokolov, announces that he's flying to the middle of nowhere in less than twelve hours. That is, to a part of Russia bordering Kazakhstan where he was "going to buy a Daewoo."
Greyhound used to be good. Now, though? It's a mess and it's hard to find a better example of just how absurd it's become than this.
The Copper Development Association built three main classes of cars in the 1970s and early 1980s: the Copper Electric Town Car, the Runabout, and a van. The designs of all of these cars are actually quite advanced for the era, and represent a lot of creative thinking
This was my third trip to SEMA, and if I've learned one thing it's that you have to really dig deep to find the truly awesome stuff on display. It's not easy, but someone has to do it.
Remember the old video game "Spy Hunter"? Or the old movie "The Italian Job"? Sure you do. You may recall that one of the most notable events in both game and movie involved driving a car up a ramp, and into the back of a truck, often while in motion. A Subaru Forrester driver in Northampton, Massachusetts appeared to have attempted the same move earlier today, but with significantly worse results.
It's been just two short years since Polestar announced that it would break away from being an in-house performance tuner for Volvo to become its own line and legacy of hybrid and electric vehicles.
"I thought that I would be safe from the robotic replacement campaign. But there's a new article-writing AI that might prove me wrong."
Electric vehicles have been turning the tide in the automotive industry in terms of making cars better for the environment. But Japan's Ministry of the Environment believed we could do better — and the result is an unprecedented supercar made entirely of wood.
If you've ever gone car shopping, you know dealers will pull out of the air any number of bonkers excuses not to disclose their pricing.
