In an interesting turn of events, a leaked video of the Tata Nexon sporting a panoramic sunroof has surfaced online. The best-selling compact SUV is speculated to get a dual-pane sunroof soon. Currently, the Nexon is being offered only with a single-pane electrically adjustable sunroof starting with the Smart+ S variant.
Lately I've been revisiting the PlayStation Portable's wonderful collection of racing games, and trust me—if you've been sleeping on the old handheld all these years, you shouldn't, because it has a library that very much holds up. For racing on the go, not even the Nintendo Switch compares. One title I've only recently explored is Codemasters' PSP port of Colin McRae Rally 2005, and it's astonishingly deep. It's revelatory having one of the finest rally games ever made in the palm of your hand. And yet, it has a debilitating bug that ruins everything. Allow me to explain.
BYD launched its first electric pickup truck in Mexico for 899,980 Mexican pesos (53,400 USD). The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) packs dual motors with 429 horsepower and a 5.7 second acceleration time from 0 to 100km/h (0 to 62 mph).
23 May, 2024 is the day when Kia will reveal the highly anticipated EV3, the smallest all-electric model by the Korean automaker in global markets. And ahead of this event, we have exclusive details, including the images of the exterior and interior of the 4.3 metre-long all-electric SUV.
The Mercedes-AMG G63 is the best car Mercedes-Benz makes right now. While the company has largely turned away from fire-breathing V-8s, its long-standing retro-inspired off-roader is still rocking a 4.0-liter twin-turbo eight-cylinder for 2025, now supplemented by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. But the engine is no longer the coolest part underneath the skin of the G63. That award now goes to its state-of-the-art suspension system.
Last year Jaguar Land Rover announced an expensive rebranding. The company shortened its corporate name to JLR, turned its Land Rover models into individual brands, and teased Jaguar's electrified future. The company's $18.6-billion investment will include an effort to take Jaguar upmarket, which will put the price of its first electric vehicle at over £100,000 ($125,000 at today's exchange rate).
The Peugeot 905 was born in 1990, a time cylinder-count and revs were still the solution to all-out speed. Raced in the World SportsCar Championship through 1993, it remains one of the best-sounding V-10-powered race cars we've ever heard.
I grew up in a time when the C6-generation Corvette represented road racing in America. Every time I see an American flag I think of the thunderous V-8 roar coming from under the hood of the legendary factory-built C6.R as it battled European exotics here and abroad. This video is a reminder of the greatness that comes from those exhaust pipes.
