Tesla data shows driver-assist was active in fatal stop-sign crash as key software details stay redacted

A fatal intersection crash in southern New Jersey is drawing fresh scrutiny more than a year later because Tesla’s federal crash filing adds a detail that was absent from the initial public account: a driver-assistance system was listed as “Verified Engaged.” The July 2025 collision in Buena Vista Township killed 82-year-old Stephen Field after a […]

Audi A4 uses 750 Nm of diesel torque to conquer the Nürburgring

The Audi A4 3.0 TDI becomes a serious Nürburgring surprise with 750 Nm of torque and the kind of midrange pull that makes every acceleration zone feel intense. The diesel engine delivers a huge wave of torque, allowing the car to surge out of corners and build speed quickly despite its understated appearance. On track, the combination of strong low end response, stable chassis behavior, and confident acceleration turns this A4 into a genuine sleeper. The Nürburgring setting also highlights how usable that torque feels under real pressure, especially through faster sections where momentum and throttle response matter. With 750 Nm available, the Audi A4 3.0 TDI blends everyday practicality with a much more aggressive performance character, creating a diesel powered track experience that feels far more exciting than its subtle exterior suggests.

Top Gear Africa special cars finally found in Uganda

The lost cars from Top Gear’s Africa Special have finally been traced in Uganda, revealing very different fates for the famous adventure machines.

I found a 58-year-old car with only 1,000 miles on it - and bought it

Richard receives an incredible 1968 classic car that Dennis found near Dayton, Ohio, with only around 1,000 original miles and an almost completely untouched appearance. The story is that a young woman got the car around the time she received her driver’s license, but discovered that taking the city bus was cheaper than paying for gas, so the car ended up spending most of its life parked in a garage. It still has all five original tires, an amazingly preserved interior, original markings, dealer-installed air conditioning with its paperwork, and only minor paint touch-ups from decades of storage. The crew believes it may be the lowest-mileage 1968 example they could find records for and debates whether something this original belongs in a museum rather than being modified. After inspecting it closely, Richard decides to keep the remarkable time capsule.

The one thing no one tells you about electric cars

How long can I drive this parachute car before the cops stop me?

A heavily modified General Lee with absurd power, no license plates, and enough noise to attract attention anywhere hits public roads for a very simple challenge: keep driving until law enforcement puts an end to it. The car is already outrageous on its own, but with huge horsepower and almost zero subtlety, every mile becomes a gamble over how long it can stay unnoticed. The result is part high-speed spectacle, part waiting game, as the driver pushes one of the most recognizable muscle cars ever built until someone in uniform finally decides they’ve seen enough.

This Corolla hybrid gets faster without losing efficiency

The Toyota Corolla 2023 facelift brings sharper styling, better technology, and a much improved fifth generation hybrid system. The front grille looks sportier, Matrix LED headlights are available, and the GR Sport trim adds 18 inch wheels, sharper rear lights, contrast bumper details, red stitching, fabric sport seats, and integrated GR head restraints. Inside, the Corolla keeps a practical layout with soft touch dashboard materials, a 12.3 inch digital driver display, a 10.5 inch infotainment screen, smoother navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, and useful physical controls for volume and climate. Some details still feel cheap, including the rear camera quality, cup holders, and loose center armrest. Front comfort is strong even for tall drivers, but rear space in the hatchback is tight and the boot is limited to around 310 to 360 liters. The updated hybrid system is the biggest improvement. The tested 1.8 liter hybrid is now much quicker at 0 to 100 km per hour in 9.2 seconds, while the eCVT feels quieter under acceleration. With fuel use around 5 liters per 100 km, the Corolla remains a very sensible daily hybrid.

North Korea ordered 1,000 cars - then never paid for them

North Korea has the lowest rate of car ownership in the world, yet somehow its streets are filled with Mercedes-Benz sedans, imported luxury SUVs, and even decades-old Volvos that were never paid for. In this episode, we uncover the bizarre and often unbelievable history of automobiles in one of the world's most isolated countries. From Soviet-inspired factories and homemade Mercedes clones to international sanctions, black market smuggling networks, and the largest automotive theft in history, this is the story of how North Korea built its car culture despite being largely cut off from the global automotive industry. We'll explore the country's philosophy of self-reliance, the rise and fall of its domestic car manufacturers, the infamous Volvo deal that remains unpaid more than 50 years later, and the elaborate schemes used to bring luxury vehicles into the country. Along the way, we'll examine what cars reveal about power, status, and everyday life inside North Korea, where even a simple drive can represent a rare taste of personal freedom.

1929 Ford Model A vs Tesla full self-driving - The 97-year-old car actually won

A Tesla Model Y using Full Self-Driving faces a 1929 Ford Model A in an unusual five-mile real-world race to an Albertsons store. The Tesla is driven with navigation handling the route, while the Model A simply heads toward the destination using conventional driving. Tesla's system initially responds quickly and follows the route, but near the finish it misses a turn and is forced to go around. That mistake gives the nearly century-old Ford enough time to arrive first. After the race, the 98-year-old participant delivers his verdict - he believes Henry Ford made the better car.

Lotus Evija attacks a hillclimb bend at full electric power

A bright green Lotus Evija carves through a bend during a hillclimb run, its distinctive tunneled rear haunches and black carbon fiber bodywork contrasting sharply against the vivid paintwork. As Lotus's first fully electric hypercar, the Evija relies on four electric motors to deliver instant power without the traditional engine note associated with cars in this performance class. Hay bales line the edge of the course, a standard safety measure at hillclimb events where cars run close to the track boundary at speed. The car's aggressive front splitter, sculpted air channels through the body, and low ground clearance all point to serious aerodynamic engineering focused on maximizing downforce. Dense trees frame the narrow road, typical of the demanding courses used to showcase extreme performance machinery in a controlled setting. Watching the Evija pushed through a real corner offers a rare look at how this limited-production electric hypercar behaves when driven with genuine commitment rather than displayed statically.

Mazda MX-5 V10 project hits rust and engine delays

This video follows the ambitious plan to fit a custom V10 engine into a Mazda MX-5, but the project quickly becomes more complicated than expected. The 2.0-liter VR10 engine faces major development delays because of crankshaft machining and oil pressure problems, forcing the team to rethink parts of the build. At the same time, the MX-5 shell needs serious rust repair around the chassis rails, floor rails and body panels before it can handle the conversion. Because the original 14,000 RPM V10 is not ready yet, Mike Fernie reveals a Plan B: sourcing another V10 engine to get the restored MX-5 running sooner while the custom engine continues development.
