My what large intakes you have. Motor1.com has the best readers. Case-in-point is Badih Tabet, who’s been following us since our very early days. In fact, Tabet tells us in an email that our small digital slice of the internet has been inspirational to him as a designer. That seriously hits us in the feels, but that’s not […]

Mercedes-Benz EQA Spied? Lack Of Exhaust Might Be A Giveaway
The lack of exhaust suggests there’s an all-electric powertrain underneath. This camouflaged vehicle has all the lines of a Mercedes-Benz A-Class hatchback, and there might even be some temptation to call it a tester for the hot AMG version. There’s just one problem – the new A-Class is already here, so what’s up with this camo-wrapped model wearing […]
See This Electric Audi RS3 Beat A Porsche 911 GT2 RS – In Reverse
We’re freaked out just watching this. We’ve seen many drag races over the years, both in-person and through the glorious wonder that is the internet. We’ve seen jet-powered semi-trucks, wheel-standing school buses, even fighter jets racing F1 cars. But we’ve never seen an Audi race backwards against a Porsche . . . and win. We’re not talking about any old 911 either, but […]
Mercedes-AMG Has No Plans To Build A Project Two
There can be only one, um, One. We learned only a few days ago that the epic Mercedes-AMG Project One will be known simply as One when the hypercar eventually goes on sale. Since we first learned about this car last year, the numerical name left a nagging mystery in our minds as to whether this could be the […]
See The Rimac C_Two Up Close In New Video
From the slick interior to the facial-recognition cameras, we see it all. Back in August Rimac showed us the California Edition of its amazing C_Two electric hypercar, and just a few days ago we got a preview of that car’s underpinnings courtesy of Pininfarina, which is making an electric dream machine of its own called the PF0. We’ve not yet had the benefit of […]
Watch Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid vs M5, E63 S In Top Gear Drag Race
We saw the same competitors a few months ago, but this time the outcome is different. Here’s an awesome bit of drag racing (on a closed airfield of course) to help you usher in the weekend. Top Gear lined up three super German machines for a friendly contest of speed, starting with the BMW M5. Next up is […]
Volvo 360c Is Automaker’s Electric Autonomous Alternative To Flight
Why be a passenger on a crowded jet when you can be a passenger stuck in traffic? Volvo has a new fully autonomous electric concept car. Actually, the automaker emphasizes its 360c is fully autonomous, lacking any provisions for a driver to jump behind the wheel. That alone isn’t extraordinary; we’ve seen such futuristic layouts […]
Inifiniti Prototype 10 Electric Concept Debuts In Super-Sleek Form
Its modular design can use a variety of electric powertrains, but we just want to stare at it. Last year Infiniti had us quite smitten with its exquisite Prototype 9 Concept – a what-if take on a 1930s race car that was stunning in virtually every detail. This year our attention falls to its successor, […]
Bentley CEO Talks Electric Future, Rules Out Sports Cars
Expect more hybrids and possibly a smaller SUV from the luxury automaker. It doesn’t get much more opulent in the automotive world than Bentley, but it’s not often anyone gets a behind-the-scenes look at the luxury automaker. Autocar recently had occasion to chat with the company’s CEO, Adrian Hallmark, and the interview was rather enlightening. He’s only been […]
Mercedes Teases Retro-Flavored Electric Concept
The flamboyant 1930’s shape could be a halo car for the company’s electric EQ lineup. We’re just around the corner from this year’s Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance, as is evident by the various teasers we’re getting from automakers on new projects. Mercedes-Benz tossed us a bone about a month ago for its retro-themed concept called […]
