The humiliating crash was caught on camera. Weve seen this story play out so many times in the past that its now almost expected. It goes a little something like this. An owner takes delivery of an exceptionally powerful supercar and promptly crashes it before taking time to acclimatize to what a surplus of horsepower can do if you arent careful. Well, its happened again. In the latest embarrassing crash, a Ferrari 488 Pista was badly damaged when the driver lost control on a road in the Nether...

EVs are the future, but theres more. Only a decade ago no-one would have believed that automakers like General Motors, Honda, Volvo, and Jaguar would commit to phasing out internal combustion in favor of pure electric vehicles. Other major carmakers like Volkswagen Group, Ford, and Toyota will eventually follow suit. Its happening and theres no turning back. And yes, Tesla deserves fair credit for spearheading the battery-electric revolution. Now that its the worlds most valuable automaker, riv...

by Jake LingemanRecall Apparently, rust is getting into airbag modules. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a problem with an airbag indicator light in full GM vehicles. Officially, the "airbag malfunction indicator (MIL) illumination accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes B0001-1B or B0012-0D may result in a loss of airbag protection for the driver." This problem could affect almost 750,000 vehicles. And as we know, airbags are cruci...

Things dont look good. Ferrari makes some amazing vehicles, and its brand is known the world over. Cars like the F8 Tributo have made otherworldly performance easier to handle than ever, and with the Italian carmaker expected to reveal an SUV in the near future, you would think that it knows exactly what its doing. But after CEO Louis Camilleri stepped down back in December, investors and fans have been patiently waiting for his successor to be announced, but with no joy. More worryingly, Ferra...

Thanks to popular models like the Q3 and e-tron. Despite the challenges brought on by the ongoing pandemic, many automakers ended 2020 on a high with record sales. Bentley, for example, celebrated its best-ever sales year, while VWs Q4 2020 sales increased by 11 percent in the US. Now, Audi has released its global sales figures for Q4 2020, and the German automaker has a lot to celebrate. Between October and December last year, Audi delivered 505,583 cars worldwide, making Q4 2020 the most succ...

Youre too late, mate. Who would have thought Dodge would make a Durango SRT Hellcat with a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 under the hood? In years gone by, fast family cars havent always been well received, but times have changed dramatically. Its certainly not a cheap car to make or to buy, which is probably why there wont be too many of them made. Production for the special edition will be ending soon as the plan has always been to only offer it for one model year, and if youve been lax about gett...

Considering everything, Porsches worldwide deliveries were solid with a total of 272,162 new vehicles - just three percent below the record set in 2019 of 280,800. "The coronavirus crisis posed a great chal...

This isnt the first time GM has filed a trademark for this name. General Motors has been expanding its current crop of crossovers with recent model launches like the reborn Chevrolet Blazer, but a new trademark filing suggests GM is plotting an all-new mystery crossover to capitalize on the segments popularity. Filed with the United States Trademark and Patent Office on January 5, 2021, GM has submitted a trademark application for the name "Anthem" under the "Motor land vehicles, namely, automo...

Mind you, its not anywhere remotely close to the 25-hour, 39-minute record set last year. It would be selling things short to say theres been a flurry of Cannonball Run activity over the past year or so. The record for the fastest trek across the US, from New York to Los Angeles, has changed hands so many times over the past 14 months that its difficult to keep track, the global pandemic and numerous statewide shelter-in-place orders creating a perfect storm of reduced-traffic conditions that, ...
