A wise man once said, “In many ways, the work of a critic is easy… We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read,” and he wasn’t wrong. Negative criticism is fun to write, and seeing someone taken down a peg—particularly when they deserve it—is fun to read, but that doesn’t […]
When I say I like my tea hot, I mean nearly boiling, and that’s the temperature of the rumors going around about Cadillac releasing a V-Series badged Cadillac LYRIQ for sale.

In fact, most of them are even street-legal and transit open road sections between the special stages where they […]
The Hummer’s impressive off-road resume isn’t that surprising for those who are familiar with the model’s history. Originally introduced as a civilian-grade version of the US Army’s High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle—colloquially known as a Humvee—the Hummer first hit the market in 1992. The rugged SUV boasted much of the same heavy-duty off-road equipment as […]

When it comes to high-performance cars, Lexus is a brand of paradox. Most of the time, it focuses on its bread-and-butter crossovers and sedans, but just when you think the brand has given up on enthusiast cars, your Lexus dealer will have something like the LFA or the RC F, or even the new GX […]
For those looking to turn their dreams into a reality, crowdfunding can be a priceless source of much-needed capital.

The Tesla Model 3 is still in its infancy. It made its debut back in 2017, and it’s still in its first generation. The Model 3 Performance was introduced a year later, living up to its name as the higher-output version of the four-door sedan, sacrificing range for power. But how does that help this […]
Ford is no stranger to outlandish electric race cars. In 2022, it unveiled an ultra-high-performance version of the Ford Transit EV at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, humbling supercars from Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren at the British hill climb. The year after that, the improved SuperVan 4.2 made its appearance on the slopes of Pikes […]
As a huge fan of the Mustang’s entire glorious history, from the original 1964-½ fastback to the seventh-gen Dark Horse, I’ve been eagerly following along with the Mustang Mach-E’s ongoing development. I must say, when Ford announced the EV in 2019, my curiosity was piqued by the decision to attach the Mustang name to a […]
Those in the market for a thrilling ride have no shortage of stylish, curve-hugging sports cars to choose from.

There’s no denying that two of the leaders in this market are the newly updated Taycan Turbo GT and the Tesla Model S Plaid, both of which are high-performance […]
Though electric trucks are still an emerging segment in the automotive market, the fact remains that the electric future is here.

However, there hasn’t been […]
When the Ford Mustang Mach-E burst onto the scene in December 2020, it signaled a new era for both Ford performance and Ford EVs. Now entering its fourth year of production, the 2024 Mustang Mach-E is aiming to raise the bar even higher. Although technically a compact crossover SUV, Ford is aiming to show that […]
The SS moniker has long been used to designate a high-performance model from the Chevrolet brand.

The next-generation Dodge Charger has been officially revealed, and in a surprise announcement, it’s getting a gasoline engine option in addition to an all-electric powertrain.

One of the biggest stories in recent years is well-known car models heading to the scrapyard in the sky. Back in November 2022, it was announced that the 2023 model year of the Audi R8 would be its last. The second-generation R8 Type 4S was never a huge seller—total numbers lagged well behind rivals like […]
Tuning a car is a great way to turn a reliable, everyday driver into a thrill-seeking, track-gobbling performance vehicle, but it can be an intimidating process for the average driver. Between overhauling the exhaust, tweaking the vehicle’s fuel management, upping the air intake, and diving into the money pit that is forced induction, unlocking a […]
