Could a 480 HP electric Mustang survive a 1,000-kilometer trip through the Alps?

He begins his first long-distance journey in an electric car with 1,000 kilometers ahead of him and no charging stops planned. The 480-horsepower Ford Mustang Mach-E GT takes him from Cologne through Germany and Switzerland toward a wedding at Lake Como. Along the way, he visits the Nürburgring, manages a low battery and tests the car on twisting Alpine roads. The trip proves far easier than he expected and leaves him searching for a Mustang Mach-E GT of his own.

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.

Toyota RAV4 vs. Hyundai Tucson, an Edmunds plug-in hybrid SUV comparison

If you’re looking to reduce your gas bills but buying an electric vehicle just isn’t for you, the 2026 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid or 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid might be a smart solution.

Hyundai supplier opens 280,000-unit EV powertrain plant as global cost battle intensifies

Europe’s electric-vehicle manufacturing race is becoming as much about cost and location as it is about technology. Hyundai Mobis, the major parts affiliate of Hyundai Motor Group, has begun full-scale production at a new electric-drive facility in Nováky, Slovakia, giving it capacity to build as many as 280,000 integrated powertrain systems annually. The factory represents […]

Chery-backed van brand moves from concepts to production as Chinese automakers expand beyond passenger cars

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.

US opens probe into nearly 1,000 Tesla cybercabs after steering wheel-free rollout

Tesla’s Cybercab was meant to mark a clean break from the human-driven 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.

Canadian auto-parts delays are turning two-week repairs into one- or two-month waits at US body shop

A damaged hood or fender once represented a fairly predictable stop at the body shop. For some American motorists, that timetable is becoming much harder to promise.

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.

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.

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.

“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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
