In recent quarterly results, Tesla announced it will deliver the first customer examples of the Cybertruck on November 30. Will the electric truck be as capable off-road as Tesla promised? A recent video shot during pre-production tests gave us some hints, and now, we have more context to add in the form of a virtual comparison with the Ford F-150 Lightning.
Fisker is nearing bankruptcy, but there might be a light at the end of the long, dark tunnel it's been traveling in for the past few months. Four companies have shown an interest in buying the troubled brand, according to comments made during a meeting by founder Henrik Fisker.
Who is the electric G Wagen — the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology — for? Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but it's going to be expensive. Range hasn't been announced yet, but it gets 294 miles on the European test cycle and that means the EPA will likely rate it at around 250. It doesn't look appreciably different than the combustion and hybrid versions either, but as it turns out, that's all by design.
During the technical briefing for the 2024 Aston Martin DB12 Volante, a company representative noted that performance has become a bigger focus for the automaker than before. And as a result, it's now targeting the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini rather than Bentley. That’s certainly a commendable ambition for a brand that owes as much of its reputation to motorsport as it does to James Bond, but I must admit that skepticism was my initial, knee-jerk reaction.
DETROIT — Jeep maker Stellantis is laying off about 400 white-collar workers in the U.S. as it deals with the transition from combustion engines to electric vehicles.
Before we get into the post, we need to insert a very important note. Because we host photos in a 16:9 aspect ratio, we had to crop the above photo, supplied by Ford, in a way that eliminated the text at the bottom of the photo. The text read: «This is a simulated solar eclipse because our lawyers told us we need to have a disclaimer.» Got that? The eclipse in the photo isn't real. Don't sue.
The 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 — you know, the bright red hero truck in Twister (1996) — is one of the most influential vehicles in American history. That second-generation truck disposed of conventional flat-front, slab-sided pickup styling conventions, opting instead for a heroic high-attitude look. Every manufacturer followed in its footsteps, which brought us directly to the testosterone arms race of the modern truck market.
It's probably no surprise to learn that Motor1 readers are the absolute best. At the end of January, we found a Facebook group for Google Earth images that, among other things, featured old race tracks. We wrote an article sharing the abandoned circuits, and you responded with even more places to visit. Virtually, anyway.
Auto industry skeptics might look at Chrysler and see a storied brand living on borrowed time. With the departure of the 300 sedan, the Pacifica minivan is the only Chrysler available in showrooms, at a time when most shoppers who could use a minivan are picking crossovers or SUVs instead. Meanwhile, helping pay the bills is the Chrysler Voyager, a rebadged Pacifica sold only to fleets. So an invitation to Stellantis’ Auburn Hills tech center to see a concept car that represents the Chrysler brand’s “vision of tomorrow” should be cause for optimism. Could we see a production version of the Chrysler Airflow Concept, which is expected in production within a year as Chrysler targets 2028 for a “full lineup” of battery-electric vehicles, exclusively? Not quite. Instead, we see the Halcyon concept in all its eye-candy glory. It’s dramatic, low-slung, big-wheeled, and aerodynamic, wit
