by Jake LingemanRender Chevys ponycar is in need of a game changing update. Over the weekend, General Motors head honcho Mark Reuss confirmed GM was working on an electric sports car. Thats only partially news, as we know the company wants to switch to all EVs soon. But it looks like the companys new Ultium platform will work for low-roof cars, hopefully, like the Camaro EV Reuss was asked about and that we have rendered below. Reuss noted that no decisions are made ...

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...

The German automaker wants to be the best at producing high-performance batteries. Porsche has made quite a splash in the electric world with its Taycan, a car that has proven to be fast, luxurious, and chock-full of new technologies. As impressive as it is, the German automaker is showing no signs of slowing and has recently announced that it is developing synthetic fuels to keep the internal combustion engine alive. But while that may seem to indicate that Porsche isnt fully committed to elec...

Its the EV that paved the way for Audis electrified future. Audi has revealed some stunning EVs recently. These include the A6 e-tron concept, the Q4 e-tron, and the e-tron GT. The latter will do battle with the Porsche Taycan. But before all of these vehicles, there was the original e-tron SUV, Audis first EV. Audi Brussels has been manufacturing the e-tron since 2018 and has just achieved a major milestone with the completion of the 100,000th e-tron. The specific model was an e-tron Sportback...

The sonorous wail of the Fabspeed exhaust is highly addictive. Theres little to fault in a Ferrari 812. Whether its the Superfast coupe or the GTS convertible, its a spectacular example of Maranellos excellence with the V12 engine. A more hardcore version of the car is coming, but even the standard version goes like stink and sounds incredible, especially when you get to the higher reaches of the rev range. But thanks to WLTP and noise regulations, modern supercars are actually relatively quiet...

Evolve or die. Well take evolve. The current sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro continues to be a slower seller. It has consistently taken the third-place sales slot behind its two longtime rivals, the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. Camaro production has also ground to a temporary halt because of the semiconductor chip shortage crisis. But this doesnt necessarily mean the Camaro lacks a long-term future. Speaking to Fox News, General Motors President Mark Reuss didnt directly admit a pure ba...

2020-2021 BMW X3 & X4 M Since the M3 and M4 have never offered an AWD variant, there are no used models to look at. F90 M5 prices have recently dipped below the $80,000 mark, but not by enough to warrant inclusion on this list. Check back in another year or so. But if you want an all-wheel-drive BMW M car and dont care about the RWD mode, a used X3 M or X4 M could be a great option. These M-powered crossovers come with M xDrive as standard, powered by the same S58 twin-turbo inline-six as the l...

by Jake LingemanVideo We could all use a little more science in our lives. Porsche is bringing out the big guns for its electric Taycan sports sedan. It got Bill Nye The Science Guy to do a five-part video series on the new EV, explaining its 800-volt battery, clever aerodynamics, regenerative braking, two-speed transmission and repeatable performance. As a quick reminder, the base Porsche Taycan costs about $80,000 and delivers 402 hp and 254 lb-ft from a single rea...

Good news for the Camaro SS, too. The Chevrolet Camaro continues to be temporarily out of production due to the ongoing semiconductor chip shortage, meaning customers are limited to whats currently available on dealership lots. General Motors hasnt announced when the assembly line will start back up again for what will very likely be the 2022 model at this point. And speaking of the 2022 Camaro, Chevy has reportedly fixed one vital issue that forced a sales ban in two states. If you recall, las...
