First look: 2027 Range Rover EV boasts 531-km range

“First and foremost, it will be a Range Rover.” If I had a pound sterling for every time I heard that during a recent assignment in the U.K. for the global reveal of the first-ever all-electric Range Rover, I’d be able to buy a nice steak pie and a pint or two at the local pub. I heard that refrain from not just Range Rover product specialists during the deep-dive workshops, which shouldn’t be a surprise, but also from the off-road guide during...

Tiny Suzuki Cappuccino gets upgrades to challenge an MX-5

This video follows DRIVETRIBE as they continue modifying Yuki, a tiny Suzuki Cappuccino, to see if it can become quick enough to challenge a Mazda MX-5. The team starts with a small 0.6L turbo kei car, but the project quickly reveals serious rust underneath, including multiple repair patches and rear corrosion that could affect its road test. Despite the bad news, they install HKS upgrades including a custom exhaust, high-flow filter, new spark plugs, lambda sensor, and an upgraded ECU. After some adjustment, the little turbo engine sounds far more aggressive, with the goal of raising power from 63 HP to around 100 HP.

I shipped my rebuilt car halfway across the world - and the engine blew before the show

After rebuilding a wrecked car in just 24 hours and fitting an extreme wide-body kit, the creator shipped it from the UK to Los Angeles with plans to drive it to Las Vegas for SEMA. The 691-horsepower car initially ran perfectly, but during a half-mile race against a roughly 700-horsepower rival, it suddenly entered limp mode at over 100 mph, produced heavy smoke, stalled and left the engine completely seized. Further inspection revealed missing coolant, an unusually high oil reading and several spark plugs soaked in coolant, while one plug was badly damaged, suggesting a serious internal engine failure. The team initially wondered whether a previously outstanding turbo oil-line recall was involved, but the turbos appeared intact and the exact cause remained unclear. With the car stranded thousands of miles from home and SEMA beginning the following day, the team was left trying to determine what had destroyed the engine and how they could get the rebuilt car back on the road.

Audi deepens China alliance with four new models as Canada debates how far to open its EV market

Audi and SAIC opened a Shanghai development center for the China-exclusive AUDI brand, underscoring a push to localize technology for the market. The hub will develop vehicle technology, AI cabins, and driver-assistance systems for upcoming Audi China models following the E5 Sportback and E7X. Plans include four models with the first due in 2028, as Audi’s China sales fell about 19% in the first half of 2026 amid intensifying competition. In parallel, Canada replaced its 100% surtax with a controlled quota, allowing certain Chinese EV imports at the 6.1% tariff rate through February 2027. Federal incentives generally exclude Chinese-made vehicles, while manufacturers warn expanded competition could affect North American production.

Can a 1000HP Toyota Supra survive Arctic snow drifting?

OG Schaefchen takes a 1000HP Toyota Supra MK4 to Lapland, Finland, for an extreme Arctic snow drifting adventure. The rear-wheel-drive Supra is fitted with spiked tires, a custom front bumper, added lighting, and a wild hood-exit screamer pipe setup, but deep snow and icy roads make the drive far harder than expected. The team deals with poor traction, a sticking throttle issue, weak cabin heat, heavy fuel use, and several moments where the car slides into deep snow and needs help getting out. Despite the problems, the Supra delivers loud antilag sounds, dramatic snow action, and a rare look at how difficult it is to control huge power in freezing conditions.

Hyundai i20 N charges through Monte Carlo

The Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Hybrid unleashes its aggressive turbocharged rally soundtrack with Thierry Neuville attacking the demanding stages of WRC Rallye Monte Carlo. The Rally1 machine combines turbo power with hybrid assistance, creating explosive acceleration as it charges between tight mountain corners, fast sections, and challenging changes in grip. Trackside footage captures turbo spool, rapid sequential gear changes, hard braking, sharp downshifts, and the raw engine note echoing through the Monte Carlo landscape. Neuville pushes the Hyundai through the stages with the commitment and precision required at one of the WRC’s most demanding events. For fans of the Hyundai i20 N Rally1, Thierry Neuville, WRC Rallye Monte Carlo, Rally1 hybrid cars, turbo engine sounds, sequential gearboxes, high speed rally action, and raw WRC sounds, this delivers pure modern rally fury.

This car finally drove after a $3 repair - then every warning light came back on

After rebuilding a badly wrecked car, the team takes it on a road trip of more than 1,000 miles toward an abandoned racing circuit outside Barcelona. The nearly 100-year-old track features enormous banked sections reaching around 78 degrees, an extremely rough concrete surface and a history stretching back to the 1920s. Four cars are selected for a challenge to see who can record the highest speed coming off the banking, despite suspension and four-wheel-drive faults appearing almost immediately. The rebuilt car repeatedly hits the rough surface, briefly goes airborne and damages its front splitter while pushing higher up the banking. In the final results, it records 81 MPH, while the winning car reaches 85 MPH on one of the most unusual tracks the group has ever attempted.

The new Cayenne Turbo EV makes 1,139 HP - and has a claimed 162 MPH top speed

The new Porsche Cayenne Turbo EV combines SUV practicality with performance figures normally associated with serious supercars. Its electric powertrain produces a claimed 1,139 horsepower and 1,106 lb-ft of torque, while Porsche quotes a 0-60 MPH time of just 2.4 seconds and a top speed around 162 MPH. A 113-kWh battery supports the enormous performance, with fast charging from 10 to 80 percent claimed to take only 16 minutes. The Cayenne EV lineup offers a claimed range of roughly 480 to 545 kilometers depending on configuration. On the road, the Turbo's acceleration is immediate and violent enough to raise an obvious question - has Porsche built an SUV that can challenge its own 911?

He had 3 cars ready to give away - finding someone who would accept one became the hard part

A group sets out with three cars and a simple plan to give them to college students who do not already own one, but the giveaway proves far more difficult than expected. Several people reject the offer or appear unwilling to believe that a stranger is genuinely handing over a vehicle for free. Eventually, one student accepts, and the group begins putting the car legally into her name before she drives away. They also give her $1,000 to help cover insurance, gas and other immediate costs associated with the vehicle. The compelling part of the story is the unexpected distrust surrounding an unusually generous offer, and the moment the recipient finally realizes the car truly belongs to her.

Can a 707 HP Dodge Charger work as a daily driver?

DriveTribe takes on a Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody as its new daily driver, powered by a 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 with 707 HP. The car delivers supercar-level performance for far less money than many European rivals, but using it every day in Britain brings real challenges. Its left-hand-drive layout, huge width and aggressive power make narrow country roads feel demanding, while the cabin has some cheap plastics and awkward controls. The team also plans to wrap the body for filming, test its real power on a dyno and see whether this wild V8 muscle car can truly handle daily life.

10 Hyundais that outclassed expectations & 10 that explain the old stigma

Hyundai spent most of the 1980s and '90s as the setup to a joke. The cars were cheap, they drove like it, and late-night hosts got a decade of easy material out of them. Then something shifted around 2009, and by the time the Palisade and the Ioniq 5 arrived, the same company was winning comparison tests against Honda and Toyota. Both versions of Hyundai are real, and the gap between them is one of the strangest arcs in modern car history. Here's 10 that earned the turnaround, and 10 that explain the old stigma.

Former Stig reveals why his daily car is a manual Porsche 911

This video follows Ben Collins as he explains the cars that shaped his driving life, from early Hondas and a crashed Toyota Supra to his long-serving Audi A3 and current Porsche 911 Turbo. The former Top Gear Stig reveals why his manual 997-generation 911 works so well as a daily driver, combining sharp handling, four-seat practicality, and an old-school mechanical handbrake. He also talks about using a Defender for muddy roads, driving an Aston Martin DBS during James Bond stunt work, and why a black Porsche Carrera GT remains his ultimate dream car. It is a relaxed look at the real garage history behind a professional driver.
