We can all agree that there is an undeniable correlation between horsepower and stopping power. What goes fast needs to be able to stop fast. A component often neglected are the brake pads. They are an important component of a car’s brakes since they transform kinetic energy into thermal through friction. Because of this, eventually, they eventually wear out and need to be replaced. Since the aftermarket is vast for such parts, both in terms of brands and types, finding the ideal option for you might be difficult. Because of this, we have compiled a list of the best brake pads on the market.

Listening to your favorite tunes while driving is one of the best things you, as a casual driver, can do when getting from A to B. FM transmitters serve as a bridge between older car audio systems that lack connectivity and your phone. That said, FM transmitters are just as useful with newer audio systems. Moreover, they are a simple plug-and-play solution that allows instant connectivity. The market offers a great variety of FM transmitters, but these are some of the best options currently out there.

Named after beloved Brazilian F1 driver Ayrton Senna, the McLaren Senna is an Ultimate Series model sharing apex predator status with the likes of Elva, P1, and Speedtail in the British supercar maker’s lineup.

At the same time, the Senna is part of a new breed of supercars that feature F1-derived technology, so it’s basically a competitor for the likes of Mercedes-AMG One and Aston Martin Valkyrie. As a result, it’s brimming with features that make it both unique and a beast on the road or on the track. Stick around for an in-depth run-through of the Senna’s quirks and specs.

Although most vehicles still use conventional halogen bulbs, LED technology has come a long way and more and more vehicles come with LED lights as standard. Small, energy-efficient, and brighter than the standard halogen lights, LED technology is already on its way to becoming the standard in the automotive industry.

If your car does not come with LED lights from the factory, fear not as there are plenty of renowned manufacturers selling high-quality conversion kits for a wide variety of vehicles. As with other replacement automotive products, variety is plentiful, and choosing the right LED lights can be difficult. Luckily, we have compiled a list with some of the best options currently on the market.

Just like the people who live in different parts of the globe, the car world is diverse and multicultural. Although many great cars were produced over the years, for one reason or another some of them did not make it to certain regions of the world.

America is one of those places that missed out on some truly epic cars or they simply got lame versions of them, case in point being the BMW M3 E36. Not all is lost, however, as when a car becomes 25 years old, you can import it to the US regardless of whether it passed the required emissions and crash tests. Here’s what cars you can legally import in the U.S. in 2021.

The New Year is upon us and with it plenty of great offers to buy a new car. You only need to go to the local showrooms and the salespeople will start seducing you straight from the entrance with tasty offers or free services as a gift. If by any chance you decide you want to make yourself a present, this might very well be one of the best times to do so. It’s easy to get spoiled for a choice, so below are the best affordable new cars in 2020 you can buy now.

2020 was a slower-than-usual year for the automotive market. Factories had to shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the global lockdown cancelled nearly all major auto shows, causing delays of new car introductions. But most releases eventually went ahead as planned and we saw tens of brand-new vehicles hit dealerships or brake cover for 2021. But 2020 also saw many cars go out of production or being pulled off the U.S. market. We’ve lost more than 15 nameplates, and while some of them won’t be missed, others retired with iconic status. Here’s our list of cars that you won’t be able to buy in North America in 2021.

After the disaster that 2020 was, everyone is looking forward to 2021. As with most other things, companies have had to adapt to the changes and think of new ways to shows us their latest models. And although the constant drive for more eco-friendly automobiles makes the engineer’s job harder, we are glad to tell you that speed has not left the show and that there are more awesome cars on the way. Here are some very fast cars you can expect to make an appearance sometime in 2021.

Being as dynamic as it is, the automotive industry is full of unexpected turns. A lot of manufacturers broke off from their traditions in pursuit of sales or simply to adapt to the new market, while others go back to their roots. One thing is certain: it’s never boring for us car enthusiasts since every year we get new vehicles coming out as well as new concepts that hint at the future of the automotive industry as a whole. Here are some of the new things we can expect from 2021.

Looking at how 2020 turned out to be, most of us are looking forward to 2021. While we are trying to bring in more positivity (pun unintended) into our lives in the coming year, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to equip our cars with some cool accessories. A lot of people wouldn’t have taken long trips in their cars or driven them to their heart’s content this year, so how about pampering yourself with some nice car stuff to kick off the new year on a good note? Here’s a list of five cool car accessories (plus a bonus accessory for EV owners) that would be a perfect way to bid adieu to 2020.

In an unprecedented year that saw multiple industries grind to a halt because of the coronavirus pandemic, the auto industry still managed to roll out some tasty dishes for the public. The sports car scene, in particular, balled out in 2020, buoyed in part by these five models that we identified as the best of its kind in 2020.

The task of picking out just five models proved to be harder than we thought, but that’s largely a product of having too many worthy choices. But these five stood out for all the reasons that make sports cars great. They’re fast, powerful, fun to drive, and much more affordable than going the exotic car route. It doesn’t hurt that all these models are lookers, too.

When it comes to cool factory car paints, there are plenty to choose from nowadays and even more if we look in the past. But what if we restrict it to just one color? After all, it’s Christmas and almost everything about this season is red, including Santa’s coat and sleigh. The answer is that there are quite a few cool red hues to choose from. Better said, Santa has plenty of choices for his garage.

While black, white, and silver make up the holy trinity of popular car colors in 2018, red remains in the top 10. It might not be as popular as it used to be a few decades ago, but the fact that automakers keep rolling out exciting shades of red is proof that people are still buying. Let’s have a look at Santa’s favorite red factory paints ever offered.

Developing a new car is a time-consuming and more importantly very expensive process. This is especially true when designing a high-performance vehicle. Sometimes, in order to save a bit of money, car companies borrow various parts from less prestigious manufacturers. It is more acceptable when it comes to minor interior pieces, such as indicator stalks or climate controls, as they are not as obvious, but things are different when we talk about the more obvious exterior features. Here are 13 examples of expensive cars borrowing exterior parts from much cheaper models.

Concept cars are awesome. They not only show us the future of car brands but also give designers the opportunity to unleash their creativity, giving us some jaw-dropping automotive marvels. Due to the countless regulations, however, production models often look significantly different than the prototypes we see at car shows.

That said, every now and then we get to see concepts that actually come true with a design very close or sometimes identical to the initially-intended. Here are 10 concept cars that made great transitions to production.
