We are in a day and age where kids prefer playing on their phones or tables instead of playing outside. While pushing some of them to play sports might be a task, there can be something else that might lure them into leaving their devices – Remote Control Cars. These are the best things to get kids to step outside and have a little fun. But, RC cars aren’t just for kids. Even grown-ups can have a lot of fun with them, and that’s because these aren’t mere toys. RC Cars these days are available in all shapes, sizes, and price bands. Some even require a certain level of skill to operate. So, with that said, here’s a list of the 10 best RC cars that you can buy in 2022.

The 11th-gen Honda Civic made its debut not too long ago. Although it was a pretty big deal and became the talk of the town because of its dialed-down, subtle, overall design, what mattered to us enthusiasts the most was the arrival of the Type R model. A new Civic meant a new Type R, and we couldn’t be any more excited for it to come out. The new 2023 Honda Civic Type R is on the horizon and will be making its debut soon, but here’s all we know about the hot hatch so far:

Gone are the days when sedans used to be an individual’s first preference. These days, SUVs and crossovers are the best-selling body styles. It makes sense, too, given that they are a lot more practical than sedans, courtesy of loads of space inside the cabin, comfortable ingress and egress, and good cargo space. Automakers have worked on the driving dynamics as well to make the handling a lot better than what it was a few decades back. With numerous options to choose from, things can get quite tricky. So, allow us to narrow things down to the best 10 SUVs of 2022 that you can buy. We’ve picked models that are more mainstream and mass-produced to make sure it is helpful to the non-one-percenters.

BMW M3 Touring: If you’re a fan of super wagons, or even wagons for that matter, there’s no way this is an alien term to you. BMW has stayed away from the performance wagon segment for a very, very long time, but has finally decided to snatch its share of the pie with the 2023 M3 Touring. The M3 Touring’s history spans over two decades, but it is only now that the production-spec wagon has been revealed.

BMW has revealed the 2023 M3 Touring at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed, and here’s everything you need to know about it – the ideation, inception, conception, cancellation, execution, and finally, the production. Quite a revelation, right? (Okay, I’ll stop with the wordplay now).

The Aston Martin Vantage came out in the late 1970s and has left an indelible mark on automotive history. This Grand Tourer was touted as ‘Britain’s first supercar’ because of its might and prowess. And while we all know that the Aston Martin Vantage has been James Bond’s preferred choice of car, there is a lot more to it than what meets the eye. So, here are some things that you should know about the Aston Martin Vantage:

Electric cars are the future and there’s no running from it. All automakers are EV-olving and trying their best to form an electric portfolio as soon as possible in order to trump their rivals. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Mercedes and Audi are leading the revolution at the moment, but how’s the scene on the affordable side of the spectrum? Well, much better than it was yesterday!

The electric scene is improving with every passing day and things are a lot better in 2022 than they were a few years back. You have a lot more options that won’t necessitate you to break the bank to jump on the EV wagon. You don’t have to worry about getting cheap EVs that are bare bones and offer double-digit range. There are multiple offerings in various body styles that offer maximum bang for the buck. Take a look at this list of 10 best affordable electric cars that you can buy in 2022.

Audi is committed to transitioning into an all-electric brand by 2026, and seeing the onslaught on the EV market, we have no doubts it will be able to accomplish its mission. The company has tens of electric products in the pipeline, some of them being wild concepts like the electric Dakar Rally car, the AI:Trail Concept, and the Artemis Project. There are even some slightly realistic concepts like the Skysphere, Grandsphere, and the Urbansphere that will probably take shape at some point. While all these are future products, Audi has a full-fledged arsenal in the form of the E-Tron lineup that is currently catering to the customer’s EV needs. The company has many E-Tron models on sale and a few in the reckoning. Here’s everything you need to know about Audi’s E-Tron lineup:

The general consensus is that SUVs are more practical vehicles than they are something that fills the adrenaline cravings. They’re also considered as big, bulky vehicles that can tow stuff or even be taken offroad. If you want the performance, you can get yourself sports cars or supercars, or even hot hatches, for that matter. But, there are some SUVs that can put even some of the world’s best sports cars to shame with their performance. Automakers are creating straight-line monsters that can achieve speeds of well over 180 mph despite their big builds, poor aerodynamic efficiency, and heavy curb weights. Here’s a list of the fastest SUVs in the world in 2022:

The cheapest new Ferrari on sale today starts at over $210,000, which is a lot of money. But, what if you want the full-fat experience of owning a prancing horse without having to break the bank? Fear not because we have compiled a list of proper Ferraris that will make you look like a million bucks for the price of a new Accord!

Mazda has been on a revamping spree lately, with a lot of changes happening within the organization. This has to do with its missions, visions, and how it is trying to position itself in the market. Some of these might seem a little weird from the financial and future standpoint, like moving a step up and targeting premium brands, or launching a new inline-six, rear-wheel-drive platform, or refusing to give up on the MX-5’s recipe even if that means going against the regulations in place. But, it has also been making some bold calls that will surely draw volumes for the brand, like the introduction of the CX-50.

The CX-50 was rumored to be the CX-5’s replacement, but Mazda plans on retaining them both in its portfolio for the time being. You can argue that the CX-50’s sales will cannibalize the CX-5’s, but what’s the harm if the customer is staying in the same showroom, right? Mazda has big plans for the CX-50, including sales figures that top 150,000 examples every year in the U.S. The SUV will also be fully electrified in the future. That said, is the CX-50 a real threat to the other players in the segment? Well, it sure is, and here are 10 noteworthy features that make the CX-50 a strong contender in the overcrowded segment.

EVs have dawned upon us and have become competent mainstream alternatives to cars with internal combustion engines in the last few years. While their performance was never in doubt, available range has led to some pretty extreme anxiety. The range was one of the major reasons why most folks were skeptical about switching to green cars. But, things are quite different now. Technology is getting better every single day and automakers are able to improve the range of cars like never before. Gone are the days when achieving even 400 miles of range was a distant dream. Today, cars like Lucid Air offer more than 500 miles of range and Tesla more than 400 miles. Concept cars like the Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX claim to offer over 600 miles of range. It won’t be too long before that becomes a reality, too. For now, here is a list of EVs that offer the best range in 2022.

Porsche is a brand revered by auto enthusiasts around the world. Though the Stuttgart-based marque is best known for its 911 range which tends to fetch top dollar, especially the older cars, it makes them inaccessible to the masses. But, Porsche DNA has blessed a lot of other models over the years that you can buy without breaking the bank or selling your kidney. Here are our top Porsche picks for enthusiasts on a budget:

If you are in the market for a new car, there are plenty of options available today. The price bracket doesn’t matter, because you have multiple offerings right from $20,000 to one million dollars, and even beyond that. The only difference is that the options are a lot more when you’re in the mass market segment, especially under $35,000. There’s no denying that the higher the choices, the more it can confuse a person. So, to help sort things for you to a certain extent, we’ve come up with a list of the 10 best cars under $35,000 that you can buy in 2022, and it includes vehicles ranging from crossovers to sedans to SUVs, and even cars from premium marques.

When the Ram TRX came out back in 2020, it was touted as a Raptor-killer. Everyone patiently waited for the third-gen Ford F-150 Raptor to arrive, which took longer than anticipated since the 14th-gen 2021 F-150 was out for quite some time. The anticipation was because the TRX had the one major thing the F-150 Raptor didn’t – a V-8 engine. When the third-gen F-150 Raptor was finally revealed, it still didn’t feature a V-8. But, little did anyone know that the Raptor with a V-8 was in the reckoning, and, in fact, the Blue Oval announced it at the very same event

As it turns out, Ford decided to branch it out as a standalone model called the F-150 Raptor R. The highlight – obviously, the V-8! It’s been about 15 months since this news broke. With the launch expected sometime in 2022, here’s all we know about the upcoming F-150 Raptor R V-8!

Audi has been working on the A6 facelift. Currently in its fifth generation, the current A6 came out in 2018 and this seems like the right time (or is Audi a little late?) to refresh the luxury sedan. It was spotted sometime last year as well, but this time, two examples of the facelift A6 were spotted standing together in the parking lot. They did have some wrap on them, but there’s enough for us to decode the changes.

Gone are the days when three-cylinder engines were only meant for urban commutes. These engines were light and focused more on fuel efficiency than performance. However, things are changing, and with upsizing not an option anymore, thanks to stricter emission regulations, automakers are making the best they can with fewer cylinders and lower displacements. Companies don’t just offer them with forced induction now; they even pair them with electric motors and batteries to generate all the oomph possible. Believe it or not, there are a handful of high-performance three-cylinder engines that can blow larger engines out of the water.

While most people might automatically assume some of the fastest cars ever made are from Europe or Japan, that simply isn’t the case because you’ve got some pretty serious speed machines conceived right here in America. This list is comprised of cars from both mainstream automakers and boutique manufacturers who produce just a handful of super-exotics per year. Spoiler: The fastest American car also happens to be the world’s fastest production car currently!

Cars have been divided into affordable and expensive ever since the early days of the automobile. As Ford began to streamline production for the Model T, which made it affordable to the average Joe, automakers like Rolls-Royce were producing luxurious and expensive cars.

Companies like Bugatti, Duesenberg, and Cadillac soon joined this endeavor to produce the best car in the world, which would also be the most expensive car in the world. As years went by, many of them also became very valuable. Rare cars become collectibles, and collectible status comes with a high price tag. Which are the rarest and most expensive cars on the market right now? Find out in the article below.

What is the fastest Ferrari? That’s one of the most common questions asked in the car community. However, there are so many ways to deal with this question. Is it fastest in terms of top speed or perhaps acceleration? Ferraris, however, excel in various metrics. One may have the highest top speed, but it won’t have the fastest 0-62 mph time. So, with all factors considered, here are the fastest Ferraris ever produced, ranked by their top speed, along with all the important metrics you need to know.

DeLorean has been teasing a comeback for quite some time now. The company announced its intentions back in February, and made sure to come back as an EV-maker to future-proof itself from another extinction. Fast forward to the present day, its first product as a reinvigorated brand is finally here. Called the Alpha5, this EV comes with a 300-mile range, a 0-60 mph time of 2.99 seconds, and most importantly, the iconic oh-so-good look inspiration from its predecessor, the DMC-12. Now that the latest DeLorean creation is here, can we have another iteration of the ’Back To The Future’?

Lamborghini revealed the Vision GT Concept back in 2019, and it was arguably one of the most radical designs from the Italian automaker. Lamborghini is known for sharp, aggressive styling, so a car that made other models with the portfolio looks like doodles says how bold the Vision GT Concept is. Although this isn’t a car that you can buy or even see it in real, for that matter, but this particular gentleman owns it. Confused? We’re talking about a wooden homebuilt replica he made that can actually be driven! Crazy, isn’t it?

Maserati launched the MC20 in 2020, and it has now followed it up with a drop-top version of the supercar. Called the MC20 Cielo, this convertible supercar looks absolutely gorgeous. The biggest difference between the MC20 and the MC20 Cielo is obviously the roof. The Italian automaker has equipped a retractable glass roof on the Cielo, and it has added just 143 pounds to the MC20’s weight. What’s also cool is that Maserati has retained the butterfly doors, something which is a rarity when a car loses its top. Is the MC20 Cielo one of the hottest Spyder models in recent times?

Toyota has updated its pickup trucks, the Tundra and the Tacoma, for the 2023 model year. There isn’t much done to the trucks per se, but the automaker has introduced packages for both of them. For the Tacoma, Toyota is offering two packages – the Chrome Package and the SX Package. Both of these are offered only on the SR5 grade. The other addition is the Solar Octane exterior shade for the TRD Pro. Will these additions be enough for the Tacoma to retain its number 1 spot in the midsize pickup truck segment?

Following the footsteps of the M3 CSL from almost two decades back and the M4 GTS that came out six years back, BMW has launched its latest special edition model, the M4 CSL. For the longest time, it was a well-kept secret, but in recent times, we had spied it a few times and had an idea of how it looked on the outside and the inside. Fast forward to the present day, the M4 “Competition, Sport, Lightweight" is finally here.

The M4 CSL comes with a lot of tweaks when compared to the M4 Competition. It makes 40 extra horses, features an aggressive suspension tune, carbon-ceramic brakes, ultra-high performance tires, and is 240 pounds lighter. The M4 CSL is limited to just 1,000 examples worldwide and costs $139,900; nearly twice as much as the M4 Competition. Is it worth the extra price?

The Audi Q5 is one of the most popular SUVs in the automaker’s portfolio. Like most cars worldwide, the Q5 will also be transitioned into an EV a few years from now. But, before that, the SUV will go under the knife and come out in a fresh avatar in what would be the last generational update given to the internal combustion-engined Q5. The next-gen Q5, which will be the third generation, has been spotted testing in the Alps, and from what we can decipher, it will get a hefty redesign.

If you don’t like crossovers and don’t want to settle for a low-slung sedan, Audi might have the solution for you. A high-riding A3 has been spotted testing around the Nürburgring. It was labeled as the A3 Allroad by most of us, but it looks like this vehicle is all set to get the ’Allstreet’ moniker. The ‘Allstreet’ badge has been lifted from the smaller A1 Allstreet, which also received this name very recently after Audi dropped the ‘Citycarver’ suffix. Is this niche going to be the next big thing?

The Ford Mustang Boss 302 needs no introduction. It has etched its name in the history books, and 50+ years later, it is still a sought-after car. Mecum Auctions has one 1970 fastback example come up on its website, and it is the closest thing to perfection. This Boss 302 is finished in a Lime Metallic shade and is expected to fetch a six-digit price. Are you interested?

Rolls-Royce has finally updated the eighth-gen Phantom after five long years. The automaker has mentioned that the changes to the updated model are based on inputs from its clients. They “implored Rolls-Royce not to make any major changes to an already iconic motor car”. This is a clear indication that the 2023 Phantom doesn’t come with a whole lot of changes. In fact, Rolls-Royce doesn’t even call it a facelift. It has been labeled as a ‘new expression’.

Pretty much all BMW models are going under the knife for a refresh. One of those models is the X6, and our spy photographers have spotted it testing again. This isn’t the first time it’s been spied, though. The facelift edX6 as well as the X6 M have been seen testing with camouflage several times. The X6 doesn’t seem to boast a lot of changes when compared to the outgoing model, but there is enough the keep it fresh for a year or two more.

Shelby and Hertz. That’s a very bizarre collaboration, if you think of it. These two companies have teamed up and come up with two special vehicles – the Mustang Shelby GT500-H and the Mustang Shelby GT-H. If this tag-team raised your eyebrows, well, there’s some more surprising news. This isn’t the first time they’ve collaborated to create special rental cars. Their friendship dates back to 1966 when Shelby and Hertz created the GT350-H and the latter offered it to the public via a special program called ‘Rent-a-Racer’. That’s some history lesson for the day, huh?

The BMW M4 CSL is all set to debut on May 20 at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. As is with any new release, the company tries to hype it as much as possible. BMW did the same by releasing a new video talking about the M4 CSL for over four minutes. But, it’s not just the company hyping the much-anticipated car for you. Our spy photographers are doing the same, and dare I say, they’re doing a pretty good job.

The M4 CSL has been spotted in the past when we saw the camouflaged example’s exterior and a vague shot of the interior. Now, however, the photographers have managed to catch the interior in all its glory, and it reveals a lot of interesting details about the “Coupe Sport Leichtbau”.

Bentley was founded back in 1919, but the company is nowhere even close to slowing down. In fact, it is reaching new heights with every passing year. The company recently reported that it has had the best-ever first quarter this year in its history, and even its operating profits have increased 162-percent. Believe it or not, the company earns revenue of €212,000 (approximately $224,000 at current exchange rates) per car. And, the Bentayga has to be given credit for much of its success, after all, it accounted for over 33-percent of Bentley’s sales in 2021.

As is with any uber-luxury brand these days, its SUVs are the breadwinners, and Bentley is no exception. The Crewe-automaker realizes this and keeps making new additions to the Bentayga lineup. The latest addition in the model’s portfolio is the Extended Wheelbase version to make it even better for owners who will have it chauffeur-driven. Did I mention it has also gotten a lot more luxurious?

The Purosangue has been Ferrari’s spotlight-stealer in recent times. Ferrari has been busy with other projects like the one-off SP48 Unica, but the Purosangue has been the talk of the town. But, that said, we’ve spotted quite a few camouflaged projects of it in recent times. First, we saw a V12 GT Chassis test mule, and now, our spy photographers caught an early prototype for the Ferrari SF90VS. This is a hardcore version of the SF90 Stradale and is expected to be revealed in 2023. So, what’s the scoop that we have so far?

Sam for ‘Sam CarLegion’ staged yet another drag race and uploaded the video on his YouTube channel. This time, he had the Jaguar F-Type and the Lexus LC500 on the drag strip with him. Both the cars feature a 5.0-liter V-8 under the hood, but that is pretty much where all the similarities end. One car’s got a supercharger attached to the engine, while the other is a free-flowing naturally aspirated mill. One is an all-wheel-drive model, and the other, a RWD. One makes more torque and the other churns out more horses. Which car do you have your bets on?

Our spy photographers capture cars and prototypes from many mainstream automakers regularly. You even get to see test mules from brands like Ferrari. But, it’s not every day that you get to see a prototype draped in camouflage from a supercar marque like Pagani! And, that is exactly why the spy shots we’ve received now are special and exciting.

There were hushed talks about a new Pagani supercar being under development, but we now have proof that it is. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you, the Pagani C10!

After making us wait for over 10 years, Lotus finally unveiled its new car called the Emira. It made its debut at the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed a couple of months back. Now, the automaker has come up with a competition-spec race car version of the Emira. Called the Lotus Emira GT4 Race Car, it comes with a slimmer physique and some added aero stuff. It’s a concept for now, but we’ll have the real deal later this year.

Update - 05.05.2022: After revealing the specs and some images of the Emira GT4 Race Car back in September 2021, Lotus has launched it with all pomp and show at the iconic Hethel test track in Norwich, U.K. VIP attendees were treated to laps around the 2.2-mile circuit with the company’s Director of Vehicle Attributes and former British GT Championship winner, Gavan Kershaw, piloting it. The company disclosed the price as well - £165,000, which is approximately $204,250 at the current exchange rates.

Lotus even brought along a guest – a Lotus Type 30 Sports Racer. This is a 1965 GT, finished in a white exterior shade, and is powered by a Ford-sourced 4.7-liter, V-8 engine. Lotus built only 33 copies of it, and this particular example won the Whitsun Trophy at last year’s Goodwood Revival. Check out the gallery to relish the Emira GT4 Race Car as well as the 1965 Type 30 Sports Racer.

The ‘Carwow’ team, spearheaded by Mat Watson, staged a tug-of-war between three SUVs that belong to different segments. One is a new EV, the other, its sibling, a luxurious family SUV, and the final one, an iconic off-roader. We are talking about the BMW iX, the BMW X7, and the Mercedes-AMG G63. Since this is a tug-of-war, you’d expect the G63 to be the winner, since it comes with a lot of tech and equipment that has to do with traction and stability. But, is that really the case?

Lamborghini introduced the Huracan Super Trofeo back in 2014 to enter the world of GT3 racing. In 2017, the Super Trofeo EVO was revealed. Last year, the Italian automaker previewed the Super Trofeo EVO2. Fast forward to the present day, and the company has come up with the Huracan GT3 EVO2. It is in collaboration with the Squadra Corse of Sant’Agata Bolognese, and will be available as a new car, or as an upgrade package for existing GT3 EVO cars.

Sam from ‘Sam CarLegion’ uploaded another drag race video on his YouTube channel, this time involving two big, all-wheel-drive SUVs. On one corner, we had the Range Rover Velar, and on the other, we had the BMW X5. On paper, the X5 was the underdog heading into the race because it is low on power and is the heavier of the two. But, it managed to make short work of the Velar. Amusing, right?

When you think of high-end aftermarket companies, some of the top names that come to mind include Hennessey, Mansory, and Brabus. While Hennessey is known for outright performance builds and Mansory for the most radical and unusual mods, Brabus is a blend of the two. It is back with yet another Mercedes build, this time, for the AMG E63 S called the Brabus 800. New wheels and aerodynamic elements on the outside, plush treatment on the inside, and power enhancement to the existing V-8 make this Brabus build an absolute beast.

Back in 2020, Porsche came up with the first of the four collector’s items from its Heritage Design Strategy. These would essentially be four modern models inspired by some of the iconic Porsche models from the past. The first model was the 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition with design elements from the 1950s and 1960s. Fast forward to the present day, and the German automaker, in partnership with the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, has come up with the second model called the 911 Sport Classic.

The 911 Sport Classic is based on the 911 Turbo S model, and comes with a buttload of changes. Right from the exterior aesthetics, to the interior changes, to the drivetrain tweaks, the 911 Sport Classic is a living embodiment of the phrase ‘Back to the Future’. Feast on this gallery and learn everything you need to know about the car.

Porsche has launched the 911 Sport Classic; a model which it has rightly captioned “Back to the Future”. The 911 Sport Classic is more than just aesthetic nostalgia. Porsche has dialed down on a lot of things to give you the raw experience. To give you a glimpse, this 911 Turbo model makes less horsepower, features three pedals, and routes power only to the rear wheels. Intriguing, huh?

Ford launched theF-150 Lightning EV last week and it mostly drew positive responses. The talking point was the sub-$40,000 price for the commercial variant, which would result in being cheaper than the standard F-150 after factoring in the federal tax credits and state incentives. The automaker had not revealed the specs for it then, but we do have them.

The company has coined this commercial trim as the F-150 Lightning Pro. As a sub-$40,000 EV, it looks alright on paper. But, look at it as a work truck – which it is – and you will be disappointed.

While it is fun to see sports cars and supercars drag race, there’s something about watching family sedans doing things that they aren’t meant to. They’re perhaps even more exciting because these are the cars we see on the roads a lot more frequently. ‘Sam CarLegion’ generally stages races between mass-market cars, and this time, he’s brought two family sedans with Japanese routes to face each other – the Nissan Altima and the Mazda 3. Which car do you think will win?

You might be wondering why a truck, that debuted almost a year ago, is being launched once again? Well, that’s because Ford showcased the truck on May 19, 2021, but the series production is all set to begin today (26th April). We pretty much know everything there is to know about the F-150 Lightning and its work-truck version, the F-150 Lightning Pro. But, this time, Ford has released the images of the truck at the company’s new Rouge Electric Vehicle Center.

Ford debuted the F-150 Lightning in 2021, and the electric truck checks almost all the boxes and can be considered as the first mainstream electric pickup truck for the masses. There are a lot of electric trucks launched in recent years, like the Tesla Cybertruck, the Rivian R1T, the Lordstown Endurance, the Bollinger B2, etc. But, none of them offer the all-round capability that the F-150 Lightning does.

The Ford truck comes with all the bells and whistles one can ask for, and then some more. For now, Ford has launched it in one body style and three basic trims plus an exclusive work truck model, but expect it to grow in the coming years. With all the subsidies and credits, the F-150 Lightning works out to be the cheapest full-size truck in the market today! (more on this in the ‘Pricing’ section). From the looks of it, the F-150 Lightning seems to be an all-rounder that offers good power outputs, decent range, and a lot of tech features. Do you think it will be a runaway success, or will the loyalists look around at other trucks?

The Ford F-150 Lighting debuted in 2021, but a year later, the company is all set to officially launch it. The company had received around 200,000 reservations for the world’s best-selling truck’s electric alter-ego, but recently stopped taking any more orders for it. While the truck is sold out for the current model year is a piece of big news in itself, there’s another big news coming in, courtesy of LightningOwners.com.

As it turns out, Ford has filed a patent with the USPTO about the tank turn capability in the Ford F-150 Lightning. Looks like Ford has already started reaping the benefits of its investment in Rivian… or does this have nothing to do with it?

Mat Watson from ‘Carwow’ is raising the bar with every drag race and how! His latest video was a drag race between seven different cars; well, seven generations of the same car, to be precise. He brought to the drag strip seven different generations of one of the most iconic sports cars to have graced the earth - the Porsche 911. All of these are the turbo models, starting with the 930, the 964, the 993, the 996, the 997, the 991, and the 992.

Lincoln debuted the Star Concept, giving us a glimpse of the marque’s design philosophy moving forward. Ford’s luxury brand will launch three new EVs by 2025, and the Star Concept is a rough idea of how the cars will look when they arrive.

Rimac, now Bugatti Rimac, unveiled the Nevera back in June 2020 as a 1,900-horsepower electric hypercar. It put every car on the market on notice because it debuted as the world’s fastest electric car with a top speed of 258 mph. Priced at over $2 million a pop, Rimac had limited the production of the Nevera to just 150 examples. The car has still not been delivered to the customers, but Rimac has shared some images and video of the Nevera’s final winter tests ahead of the first customer deliveries.

The RZ 450e can be considered Lexus’ first offering to the EV segment. Well, it was the UX 300e, but it shared the same platform as its internal combustion-engined counterpart. So, it won’t be wrong to label it as a half-hearted attempt. Now, however, the company has come up with the RZ 450e, a car based on the Toyota bZ4x, which in turn is mechanically similar to the Subaru Solterra.

However, it is more than just a rebadged bZ4x. It feels more premium and plush overall, and that reflects in the build quality as well as the creature comforts. The dual-motor setup puts out 308 horses, is an all-wheel-drive-only model, and has an estimated range of 225 miles. The prices aren’t revealed, but Lexus noted that it will go on sale Stateside at the end of the year.

Mercedes-Benz has taken to electrification like no other automaker. Audi come a close second, but Mercedes is operating on a whole different level. The German marque has made sure it has offerings in every mass-market segment in the shortest time possible. Sometime last year, the automaker revealed five new vehicles in one auto show – the EQE sedan, the EQB crossover, the EQG Concept, the Maybach EQS SUV, and the AMG EQS.. Then Mercedes followed it up with the Vision EQXX Concept

Without taking a break whatsoever, the automaker has now come up with the EQS SUV (the non-Maybach version). As the name suggests, it is the SUV version of the EQS sedan. It shares the same wheelbase, but is more spacious and comes with better cargo capacity. It will be offered in two trims – 450+ and 580 4MATIC – the latter being a 536-horsepower, all-wheel-drive version. With a range of up to 373 miles and a 56-inch Hyperscreen on offer, the Mercedes EQS might be an electric SUV that you can’t ignore!

The Honda Civic Si is not a poor performer by any means, but its rival in this drag race sure made it look like it. Sam from Sam CarLegion staged a couple of drag races and a roll race between a Honda Civic Si and a Volkswagen Jetta GLI. The Jetta makes more power and has an automatic gearbox. Well, that’s one way to humble the Civic!

Well, here’s some good news for you Supra fans. Toyota is all set to offer the Supra with a third pedal! The company confirmed the rumors, which had picked up heat in recent times, by making the announcement on its Twitter page. There’s still no word which engine will get the manual gearbox, but at least we know it’s coming! Pretty cool, huh?

The good folks at Edmunds staged a race sometime last year and we pulled it out of their stash. The race sees a Tesla Model S Plaid take on two superbikes, one being the new 2022 Suzuki Hayabusa, and the other, a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R. Usually, you’d expect the four-wheeler to be an underdog in such situations. But, knowing the Plaid’s prowess, can it really be called the underdog here?

There is no dearth of EV startups today. But, that doesn’t mean new companies aren’t cropping up every other day. The latest startup to join the bandwagon is Deus Automobiles, an Austria-based company that is building an electric hypercar called the Vayanne. The company has unveiled the Vayanne at the ongoing New York Auto Show. The hypercar boasts ridiculous power specs and will reach customers in 2025. It will be limited to just 99 examples.

When it comes to drag race preferences, there are two trains of thought. Some of us like seeing supercars go for the kill on the drag strip, and some of us prefer mass-market cars to go up against each other. The latter seems more realistic because most of us can actually relate to it. Sam from Sam CarLegion has conducted many drag races that include the ‘regular’ cars like the Ford Mustang, the Volkswagen Jetta, the Honda Accord, the Ford Fusion, etc. This time he brought a Honda Civic Si and a Hyundai Elantra N-Line to the fore for another exciting race. Which of these do you think will win?

Jeep introduced the Wagoneer concept back in September 2020 and released the production-spec SUV in 2021. It was branched out into two avatars – the Wagoneer and the Grand Wagoneer. Fast forward to the present day, the automaker has decided to come up with stretched versions of both these vehicles with the ‘L’ suffix added to them. It seems to be a tried-and-tested method since Jeep did the same with the Grand Cherokee L as well. But, what makes the L versions of the Wagoneer and the Grand Wagoneer even more special is that they come with the automaker’s new ‘Hurricane’ engine!

Mat Watson from ‘Carwow’ is back with yet another drag race involving three supercars that have loyal fan bases of their own. But, no matter how desirable, this race is a tad bit stale. We had the same results with whatever kind of race that happened. Now, it’s not necessary that every race has to tug our heartstrings or give us the adrenaline rush, right? But, then why did we cover it? Well, the cars are eye candies and sound amazing. That’s it!

The Huracan is a successful product, and Lamborghini knows it. No wonder it can’t stop churning out newer versions of this model even today. The latest iteration of the supercar is called the Huracan Tecnica, and it comes with STO power. Lamborghini has stated that the Huracan Tecnica will be just as exciting to drive on the road and on the track.

The Huracan Tecnica is powered by the same 5.2-liter, naturally aspirated V-10 engine that churns out 631 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox powers the rear wheels exclusively. It also comes with torque vectoring and rear-wheel steering. As for the performance figures, it takes 3.2 seconds from 0 to 62 mph and has a top speed of 202 mph.

The Jeep Easter Safari is a holy event for off-road enthusiasts and purists. The 2022 Edition kicks off today (9th April), and the automaker has unveiled 10 off-road concepts for the event. Five of these concepts come from Jeep, two from the automaker’s accessories arm, Jeep Performance Parts, and three that were displayed at the 2021 SEMA Show. Relish the images of these tastefully built concepts:

In its essence, vans are nothing more than people and luggage haulers. They are the bare minimum, utility vehicles that are, in most cases, a non-aspiration purchase. People wouldn’t buy them solely to go on long drives or to fulfill their adrenaline cravings. But, the ‘Carwow’ team decided to take three vans out of their comfort zone. Drag race? No no. They indulged the trucks in a tug-of-war to see which one can pull the best. I don’t know who even bothered to come up with such a van-dalizing idea, but he or she sure deserves a raise!

Sam from ‘Sam CarLegion’ staged yet another drag race, and this time, he brought two vehicles with supercharged V-8s – one’s the Land Rover Defender, and the other, the Ram 1500 TRX. Both of them are mighty powerful and don’t shy away from spreading their wings to take flight. But, how do they fare against each other? Will the lighter Defender prevail, or will the more powerful TRX smash its rival?

Daniel Abt is known for staging sweet drag races with drool-worthy supercars and sports cars. This time, he’s organized one more race, but it includes a contender that one would not specifically call a sports car. It’s the BMW M140i. Yes, the car is peppy and fun-to-drive, but does it stand a chance against a supercar like the Lamborghini Huracan STO? As it turns out, it can! The BMW M140i that’s going up against the Huracan here is tuned and makes a lot more power than the latter. And, the result of this is the Italian car getting smashed by an urban commuter with a sporty cred!

There are a lot of people who are still warming up to the idea of EVs. But, there are also people who outright hate them. So much so that they attack the silent cars. This, for some reason, is especially true for Tesla the most. We’ve seen loads of incidents in the past wherein Tesla cars are attacked in the parking lots, where superchargers are blocked and destroyed, and verbal abuses to the owners driving them. But, another video has now come to light that tops it all and might be the scariest incident to date. A Tesla Model 3 owner was recently a victim of road rage that lasted 20 minutes, and reportedly, didn’t get any help from the cops either.

The Koenigsegg Jesko is the company’s latest supercar, third megacar, and spiritual successor to the iconic Agera. Unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, the Jesko boasts a power-to-weight ratio greater than 1:1, which means its engine generates more horsepower than the car’s total curb weight in kilograms. Koenigsegg offered similar versions of the One:1 and Agera, but the Jesko takes things one step further with an impressive downforce rating of 2,205 pounds.

Named after Jesko von Koenigsegg, the father of company founder and CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg, the Jesko marks the debut of the firm’s latest carbon-fiber chassis and nine-speed multi-clutch transmission. It’s also supposed to hit at least 300 mph according to Koenigsegg, so it could improve the Agera RS’ 277-mph world record really soon. Let’s find out more about that in the review below.

The good folks at ‘Carwow’ hit the drag strip for yet another drag race, this time involving two supercars that have a loyal fan following of their own. On one side, there was the Ferrari 812 Superfast, and on the other, the McLaren 600LT. The former features a naturally aspirated V-12, whereas the latter comes with a twin-turbo V-8. Both the cars feature seven-speed dual-clutch gearboxes and rear-wheel-drive systems. The Ferrari, obviously, makes more power, but it is nearly 1,000 pounds heavier than the Brit. This makes up for an exciting series of races. Which car are you rooting for?

At the time of penning this piece, we’re just hours away from the GR Corolla’s debut. But, as is with most of the new launches, the car gets leaked right before the debut. Countless examples come to mind, but for now, let’s stick to the topic at hand – the GR Corolla. This Japanese hot hatch has been leaked right before its official launch, and we have the pics right here, courtesy of grcorollaforum.com

29th March 2022. This date was supposed to go down in the books as one of the most important milestones in Lotus’ modern history. It was the day the company embraced the two evolving aspects – SUVs and electrification – of the auto industry and took its first step towards the same by debuting its first all-electric production SUV, the Eletre. Now, the company built up the hype for a very long time and revealed the product with fairly decent specs. But, given the competition, the time it took to roll out an SUV, and the fact that it called a 600-HP vehicle a “hyper SUV”, was the Eletre a disappointment?

At a time when automakers are going full throttle towards electrification, Jeep has decided to make the ICE lovers happy by introducing a new gasoline engine. The straight-six engine displaces three liters and will be offered in two power output stages. Is this good news for us, or an indication that the V-8 engines will be euthanized sooner than expected?

Sam from ‘Sam CarLegion’ staged yet another drag and roll race, but this time, with two of the most intimidating cars to grace the drag strip – the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody. Both these cars are intimidating in their own ways, but this is one of those rare times where they’ve crossed paths and have come face-to-face. While it may have been an exciting exercise, to begin with, the race was nothing more than a glorified squash. The Dodge had its moments, but it had no chance of winning any race. But sometimes such squashes are exciting, right?

Brabus is known for its mighty powerful builds. They are unlike any other aftermarket companies and tuners, and are one of the most expensive ones out there. So, when the good folks at ‘Carwow’ brought a Brabus creation to the race strip for some fun, it piqued our interest. Called the Brabus 850, it was a jacked-up Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 with oodles of performance upgrades. It went up against a Lamborghini Urus and a Tesla Model X Performance. On paper, it is the most powerful of the lot. But, was it the same in the real world as well?

The Lucid vs Tesla war is actually a lot deeper than one can imagine. Lucid is currently spearheaded by Peter Rawlinson, the man who is responsible for the Tesla Model S!. So, in its essence, the Lucid Air can be considered as the Model S’ spiritual successor. The Tesla Model S has made a name for itself as a premium electric sedan and didn’t face stiff competition from any other electric car until the Lucid Air came out. That says a lot, doesn’t it? The Air has countered the Model S on almost all fronts; range, performance, features and specs, etc. Looks are subjective, so we’ll let you decide which one looks better. And, as for the pricing, the Air starts cheaper than the Model S, but goes well over the Tesla’s pricing. Now, given how the Air is spec’d pitting it against the standard Model S doesn’t seem fair. But, how does it compare to the Tesla Model S Plaid? Well, that’s what we will find out in this guide!

Jason Cammisa from ‘Hagerty’ brought in four trucks to the drag strip that can be touted as the top performance trucks money can buy. It is a nice mix that involves two modern trucks, one with a sweet legacy and still has a strong fan-following, and another that’s been creating waves across the world. These are the Ram 1500 TRX, the Ford F-150 Raptor, the GMC Syclone, and the Rivian R1T. This isn’t your conventional drag race, and that’s what makes it even more interesting.

The first new car from Lotus in a long time also happens to be the last internal combustion-engined car. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you, the Lotus Emira. The Emira was launched earlier this year, but the company didn’t reveal all the details about it. Since then, Lotus has given us the information in chunks, and now, we have all that we need, right from the interior and exterior details to its drivetrain and pricing specs.

The folks at ‘Edmunds’ are back with another U-Drag race. The first two that they arranged were pretty exciting, and we don’t expect this one to be any less. The contenders here are sports cars from the budget segment – the Subaru WRX and the Hyundai Elantra N. Which car are you placing your bets on?

There is something about the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and tuned BMWs. Despite boasting a lot more power than its German rival even in its tuned form, the Challenger just couldn’t beat a tuned BMW in the past. I’m talking about the time when it got spanked hard by a tuned M4. This time, it faced a tuned F80 BMW M3 and seemed to be having a déjà vu, but somehow managed to get redemption.

Maserati teased the Grecale a couple of years back and announced that it will debut in 2021. But, courtesy of the global chip shortage, the debut was pushed to 2022. Fast forward to the present day, and the Maserati Grecale is finally here. The Grecale slots itself below the Levante as the entry-level compact luxury SUV. But, the automaker has made sure it feels special. For starters, it will come with a high-performance Trofeo version that will be powered by the same 3.0-liter, V-6 engine that does duties in the MC20 supercar as well! It is, of course, a detuned version of the engine, but it still makes over 500 horses. Other than this, it is also pretty heavy on tech features and comes with up to four screens inside the cabin. Sounds like a sweet deal at the onset, doesn’t it?

SUVs are all the rage and no one’s denying it. Alfa Romeo tried to revive its fortunes by unveiling a compact SUV recently called the Tonale. Now, Maserati is doing the same by coming up with an SUV called the Grecale. The Grecale will slot below the Levante in the company’s lineup and will pretty much be an entry-level offering expected to start around $40,000.

The company has teased it a few times in the past, and now, it is finally about to grace us. The Grecale is all set to debut today (22nd March), and you can watch the live stream right here at 9 a.m. EDT.

The ‘Carwow’ team is back with yet another drag race; this time involving three cars in their pinnacle performance trims, but very different from one another. The three-way bout included the BMW M5 CS, the Nissan GT-R Nismo, and the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. I’m not spoiling the races here, but let’s just say all the cars had their moments to shine at some or the other point, thus making this a far from boring or a monotonous race. That’s always better than the one-way quashes, isn’t it?

The good people at ‘Edmunds’ have another U-drag race for us. This time, it’s the Chevy C8 Corvette going up against the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. It is generally easy to predict which car’s going to win depending on what kind of race they are taking part in; whether roll or standing drag races. But, in this interesting format, the cars go through drag and roll tests in one shot, and even the braking and handling aspects come into play. Makes it exciting, doesn’t it?

While the onus will be on electrification moving forward, there are a lot of other moving parts that need to work along in tandem for automakers to ensure a smooth transition. Ford has taken the first big step – probably the biggest step – of electrifying the most product in its lineup, the Ford F-150. With that out of the way, the automaker can now switch its focus on something completely different altogether this year – grow the Raptor brand even more.

If you pick up all the pieces the company has been dropping in the last 1-1.5 years, you’ll realize that it is working on building the Raptor brand. We have the F-150 Raptor R coming, the Bronco Raptor is already here, and even the Ranger Raptor has finally crossed the forbidden door and come to the States and Canada. Will Ford make ‘Raptor’ a standalone brand like the Mustang and the Bronco?

Audi previewed the A6 Avant e-Tron Concept and it is a near-production form already; in terms of aesthetics, at least. The automaker has shown us how it will look on the outside, given us a few details about the powertrains, etc., but has not provided any information about the cabin or the tech. The production version of the A6 Avant e-Tron Concept is expected to come out in 2024, so we’ll probably have to wait for a while before Audi throws light on it.

This video from the past deserves to get attention even today. It’s a drag race between two supercars and one superbike. The contenders were the Porsche 918 Spyder, the McLaren P1, and the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The folks at Autocar pit these three against each other for a standing mile drag race. Believe it or not, the difference between the winner and the loser was 0.38 seconds. Mind-blowing, isn’t it?

Before Aston Martin switches to electrification, it wants to give one last hurrah to its internal combustion engines; more specifically, the V-12 engine. And, to make sure it goes out the right way with the utmost honor, Aston Martin has wrapped it around the body of a Vantage. They make a nice couple, don’t they?

Anyway, the V12 Vantage has been unveiled as a 690-horsepower beast, powered by a 5.2-liter, twin-turbo V-12 engine. It can sprint to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds and will have a top speed of 200 mph. It will be a limited edition model, with Aston Martin building just 333 examples of the same. But, you can’t buy it because all of them are already sold out!

Back in 2020, a Greek automotive designer named Spyros Panopoulos made us aware of the existence of a 3,000-horsepower ‘ultra-car’ called the ‘Chaos’. It was to be unveiled at the 2021 Geneva Auto Show, but since the show was canceled, that didn’t happen. However, Spyros Panopoulos (also the name of the company) has finally launched the Chaos after teasing it a few times in the past.

The Chaos is no ordinary beast. It makes over 3,000 horses in its best avatar, and no; it’s not an EV! The power is drawn from a V-10 engine. The company claims a 0-62 mph time of just 1.55 seconds and a quarter-mile time of under 7.5 seconds! Get over the Tesla Model S Plaid; the Chaos is here to wreak havoc!

Drag and roll race videos are all the rage in the present day. But, the good folks at Edmunds have come up with a unique way to make them all the more interesting. The method adopted by them inculcates the madness of a drag race, the excitement of a roll race, and shows us how good the cars’ driving dynamics are, all in one race! The contenders for this fun race were two powerful American-bred cars – the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Which car do you think will be able to prove its all-around worthiness?

The Acura TLX is an underrated sedan that excels in almost all departments, especially the driving dynamics. Add the Type S masala to it and you have yourself a sporty sedan that offers a decent luxury cred as well. Sam from ‘Sam CarLegion’ brought an Acura TLX Type S to the drag strip to take on a Honda Civic Touring. It doesn’t seem too fair, does it? But, this isn’t a stock Civic. It’s been tuned to put out 120 horses more than what it comes with. It’s still a lot less than what the TLX churns out, but the Civic is over 1,000 pounds lighter, too. The Civic enters this race as an underdog, but do you think it can trump its more powerful cousin?

BMW kick-started 2022 by announcing that the BMW M3 Touring is finally being realized. More than two decades after it was revealed as a concept, BMW is back on the wagon (pun intended) to create a production version. Although it has been spotted quite a few times in the past, we hadn’t seen it without the camouflage yet. Even the teaser that BMW released didn’t show it without the skin. But, the latest video from the German automaker has finally given us a glimpse of its bare back, and we got to say, it is sexy!

Maserati’s road to electrification has begun, and here’s your first glimpse at the company’s first fully electric vehicle, the GranTurismo Folgore. The Folgore was spotted winter testing recently, but it is still some time away. The automaker will roll out the fuel-powered GranTurismo before the electric version, which means the EV might debut next year and arrive in 2024.

The 2021 Koenigsegg Gemera is a two-door, four-seat hypercar developed by the Swedish company that gave us the Agera, Regera, and Jesko. But unlike its siblings, and despite having only two doors, the 2021 Gemera offers seating for four. And it does so via four equally comfortable seats, so it’s not just a regular grand tourer. The 2021 Gemera boasts a hybrid drivetrain under the skin, comprising three electric motor and a three-cylinder engine. As shocking as it may sound, the three-cylinder generates 600 horsepower, making it the most powerful of its kind in production, and works on a variety of fuels, including CO2-neutral methanol. Overall, the hybrid drivetrain pumps out an amazing 1,700 horsepower and 2,581 pound-feet of torque. Let’s find out more about the world’s first practical megacar - aka Mega GT - in the review below.

The GV70 is Genesis’ first compact-luxury SUV, and it is a fantastic package overall. It is based on the G70 sedan, which means it has a sporty cred to it. And, Genesis being a luxury brand, you get all the bells and whistles as well. There are two engine options on offer, one being a four-pot turbo engine, and the other, a twin-turbo V-6.

Sam from Sam ‘CarLegion’ brought in a V-6 GV70 to take on a Tesla Model Y for a couple of drag races and a rolling race. The Model Y, being an EV, was going to be the winner for sure, but did the GV70 put up a good fight before going down? Let’s find out.

Mat Watson and his team from ‘Carwow’ brought in two hot German cars for a drag race. One’s the Audi RS3, and the other a BMW M3 Competition. The Audi RS3, in its reinvigorated avatar, is an absolute beast and punches well above its weight. It makes a lot less power than the BMW M3 Competition, but managed to keep up well in these races, especially the drag races. Can the Audi RS3 be considered as the hottest entry-level performance car today?

The 2020 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo is a special-edition version of the 4C Spider and the final production run of the nameplate for North America. Launched in 2013, the Alfa Romeo 4C arrived on U.S. soil in 2014, marking the brand’s return to North America after almost 20 years. With the coupe model discontinued in 2018, Alfa Romeo confirmed that Spider sales are also coming to a halt in the U.S. for 2021. But the small, lightweight 4C is going into the history books with a bang through the limited-edition 33 Stradale Tributo model.

Sam conducted another drag race, this time involving the Ford Mustang and the Infiniti Q60S, and uploaded the video on his YouTube channel, ‘Sam CarLegion’. This is an interesting mix because it involved a V-6 taking on a four-pot mill that churns out more power. However, the V-6-powered car comes with an all-wheel-drive system, unlike its rival that drives only the rear wheels. To make it even more interesting, they both weigh pretty much the same. Which car do you have your bets on?

Ever since the Tesla Model S Plaid came out, it has been on a spree, embarrassing every other car it faces in straight-line races. Tesla came out with the performance Plaid version of its SUV, the Model X as well, sometime back. While it might not be as quick as its sedan sibling, it is still mighty quick to take on some of the hottest supercars from the present era. Its latest rival – or shall we say, a victim – is the Lamborghini Huracan EVO, and the Model X Plaid shows no mercy whatsoever.

News about the Volkswagen ID. Buzz has been ‘buzzing’ ever since it was announced back in 2017. More than five years later, the automaker has finally launched it. It isn’t exactly a best-kept secret as the company kept releasing teasers over the years to make sure we didn’t forget about it. We’ve even spotted it in the wild, if the official teasers weren’t enough. Fast forward to the present day, the ID. Buzz is finally here.

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is an electric people and cargo mover. Volkswagen is trying to create a niche of sorts, it seems, to come up with a vehicle that offers absolute utility. It will be available as a cargo carrier, as well as a passenger mover. It will be available to pre-order from May and will enter production around the same time.

Shaquille O’Neal turned 50 a couple of days back, and he decided to gift himself a special car to mark the milestone. Shaq picked a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat to satisfy his adrenaline cravings, but it is fat from stock in terms of aesthetics. The NBA legend had it customized heavily and the car screams for attention. Do you like it?

Intra-family cars wars are always super exciting. It’s not cars taking a united front against rivals from other brands, but siblings going up against each other. Since automakers don’t want cannibalization within the brand, you don’t get similar vehicles to go up against each other. But, on the flipside, that is what makes it interesting as there could be upset victories; just like this drag race here.

‘Archie Hamilton Racing’ brought in an Audi RS3 and Audi RS6 to face each other on the drag strip. The RS6 features a bigger engine and makes more power, but the RS3 is lighter and features a dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Since we’ve already spilled the beans in the title, there are no surprises here. It’s just utter humiliation by the smallest RS model against its six-digit price-tag sibling.

Pagani launched the Huayra back in 2011. After all the 100 examples were sold out, the company followed it with four more limited-production Huayra models - Roadster, BC, Roadster BC, and the Imola. To commemorate the original Huayra’s 10th anniversary, Pagani introduced a special edition a few months back called the Pacchetto Tempesta. It is based on the Huayra BC and comes with aero and performance upgrades. For those of you wondering what ‘Pacchetto Tempesta’ means, it is Italian for ‘Storm Pack’.
