Daimler’s new flagship electric sedan will generate “reasonable” returns right from the start as the vehicle features top-line technology, CEO Ola Kallenius said.

If you thought Mopar’s 7.0-liter supercharged V8 Hellephant was the most insane powertrain available for wild engine swaps, think again: in Sweden, there’s a guy fitting a 27-liter V12 into a classic Ford Crown Victoria. Now that is an engine swap. Dubbed the Meteor Interceptor by its creator, Daniel Werner, this Crown Victoria has the

Big and bigger. That’s becoming the norm for nameplates adorning the newest crossovers, SUVs and even minivans.

By Simon Alvarez Posted on April 10, 2021 The Tesla Solar Roof may not inspire as much coverage as the company’s electric cars like the Model 3 and Model Y, but the integrated solar shingles are still a unique flagship product.

We’ve been told that our cars must change, that they pollute and maim … and this can no longer be; Congress and DOT have decreed it. Some believe that this is only a phase we’re going through, that it, like all things, must pass. In our hearts, though, we know that it’s true and it
Most would agree that Honda absolutely nailed the design of the all-electric e, but according to Chris Harris, there are some things that the Japanese carmaker didn’t do so well when creating the electric hatchback.
