A Growing Electric Range Rover Lineup Range Rover’s electric plans are coming into focus, and the lineup is getting busier. The compact electric Evoque replacement is set for 2027, built on JLR’s new EMA platform. The full-size Range Rover Electric is also launching this year after a long wait. Now, there’s confirmation of another EV that fits between those two, and it’s arriving sooner than expected. JLR Finance Chief Richard Molyneux confirmed the news during a recent earnings call. He called

The Autoblog spy photographers are being kept very busy as automakers across the pond put their upcoming vehicles through grueling winter tests, and their latest sighting shows that the fifth-generation L460 Range Rover is finally getting an update. The luxury SUV has been around since 2022, and ahead of the facelift's launch (expected for the 2027 model year), the Range Rover's latest iteration will be adorned with a new look for the front end. Subtle revisions are also expected at the rear, bu

JaguarLand Rover (JLR) is dealing with yet another disruption, this time at the heart of its UK production network. A supply chain issue has forced the automaker to pause output at one of its most important production hubs, temporarily pressing pause on some of its most important. While the stoppage is expected to be short-lived, it once again highlights how even premium manufacturers remain vulnerable to the smallest hiccup in the chain. Solihull Shutdown Hits Key Models

From Stormer to Sport The Range Rover Sport was a bit of a surprise when it was first revealed in 2005 for the 2026 model year. It was the first model extension of the Range Rover family, and was actually a bit of a gamble for Land Rover at the time. Well, it's safe to say that it paid off, as the Range Rover, er, range is as wide as ever. But it all began with the Range Stormer Concept from 2004. It was actually Land Rover's first-ever concept vehicle, and its positive reception eventually led

You wait ages for a British luxury SUV inspired by mountains, and then two come along at once. Following yesterday’s Bentley Bentayga Artenara Edition comes this, the Range Rover Sport SV Winter Dusk. While the Bentley draws its inspiration from the balmy climes of Gran Canaria, though, this Range Rover looks to somewhere altogether colder – the snow-capped Rocky Mountains. It’s set to be a whole lot rarer too, with just three of the special editions to be produced.

From Older Range Rover Sports to a Much Bigger Investigation Last year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began investigating a front suspension issue in 2014 to 2017 Range Rover Sport SUVs after owners reported cracks in the aluminum steering knuckle. That part is what links the main steering and suspension pieces together, so any fracture there is a big deal. The first investigation covered almost 92,000 vehicles, which eventually led to a recall of over 121,000 Range

The Ultimate Stealth Trim Following the debut of the Land Rover Range Rover SV Black earlier this year, the British luxury marque has officially priced the special edition at $238,900 MSRP. That figure is slightly higher than the early estimates of around $230,000, but it isn’t surprising given the extensive visual and material changes made to this trim. As its name suggests, the SV Black is built off the Range Rover SV, already the flagship specification of the full-size SUV. The Black edition

You Need More Than Money for This Range Rover The entry-level Range Rover already starts above $113,000, and prices climb quickly as you move up the range. The special SV models, in particular, can easily double that starting figure. Now, Land Rover has added another layer of exclusivity with the Range Rover SV Ultra. This isn’t just a higher trim with extra features. The SV Ultra will only be available by invitation, with Range Rover selecting who gets the opportunity to buy. In other words, ha

This beautifully restored Dodge Charger 500 is finished in Dark Bronze Metallic on a perfectly preserved saddle interior, and features original matching numbers for the 426 cubic inch 425 horsepower Hemi V8 engine and A833 4-speed manual transmission. It is equipped with the Dana HD SureGrip limited-slip differential, dual four-barrel carburettors, NASCAR-derived internals, high-flow exhaust, power steering, and power brakes. 

A Nürburgring Weapon For The Street BMW introduced its first hybridized high-performance M model with the XM in 2022, which eventually led to the most powerful M car ever in Label Red form. But for enthusiasts who still prefer performance without electrification, that formula may not be as appealing. Before that era arrived, the Bavarian automaker built a track-focused version of the F82 M4 called the GTS, representing pure ICE engineering insanity – and one of the approximately 828 M4 GTS units

It’s been over 40 years since BMW launched the first M5, which was based on the E28 5 Series sedan. Very few of these original M5s were sold in the United States, making clean examples desirable and highly valued. That much was proven recently when a 1988 M5 with only 9,800 miles sold for a stunning $195,810 on Hagerty Marketplace. According to the publication, that’s a new record price for the sports sedan, and far exceeds the price of a brand-new G90 M5. So, what makes this particular E28 so s

A McLaren Slowed Down the Hard Way Driving a car is fun, let alone a track-focused exotic like the McLaren 600LT. However, performance doesn’t cancel poor judgment, as seen in this case, where a 600LT driver allegedly slammed into a light pole, ironically one that warns road users to slow down, before coming to rest against a wall. According to CBC News, the driver was arrested for impaired driving, while the passenger was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The car also hi

These IMSA GTP cars are nuts. These are some of the wildest road race cars on the planet, and riding along in one at Daytona during Rolex 24 night practice is something special. This thing sounds like a few GP bikes racing next to each other when the Cosworth built Aston Martin V12 gets up on the pipe and pissed off going around the big banked corners at Daytona. This car sounds evil, clearly makes big power, and is a handful. Sign me up! What a ride. Watch, and listen, as this thing screams ar

Built to Take a Beating Shopping for aftermarket wheels can be tricky – especially when dealing with a premium SUV like the Toyota Land Cruiser. In situations like this, sticking with a proven brand is often the safest approach, and Japan’s RAYS now has a new option available. The renowned wheel manufacturer has unveiled a new 18-inch model for the ZE40X, purpose-built to endure the brutal demands of off-road driving. Offered under the company’s flagship Volk Racing lineup, the new 18-inch ZE40X

Expedition rigs seem to be bigger and badder than ever, with more offerings and options for building them than you can even imagine. And their popularity seems higher than ever as well. With all that said, do you really need ALL the bells and whistles if you are going for some road trip miles and camping with friends? Like most things, need and WANT are two totally different things and sometimes not critical for sleeping comfortably and having a good time. In the video below, our friend Dave Ch

Our boy Scott Liggett is back with a new drag and drive project! After buying a 1950 Chevy coupe a year or two ago, and realizing it would be more work than he was really wanting to tackle, he sold it and sent it on to a new owner. He’s been on the lookout for something else that sparks his interest and the other day he found something we think is pretty cool. It’s a Monza, but not just any Monza. Nope, this one is a 1977 Monza Town Coupe, which is an odd little notchback but they are cool and t

Ever look at an old car and wonder about its history? Every car has a story to tell, but sometimes that story is a mystery. Either the previous owner with the knowledge sold the car, or they have passed away, taking that story with them. We love mysteries and cars with stories, so when we come across a cool car that’s been sitting around a long time, we turn into some kind of automotive version of Sherlock Holmes and start investigating. Scott over at Rebeldryver’s Garage found an interesting c

Take Me to the ‘70s Few cars fit into automotive culture quite like the Lotus Esprit. It’s sharp, geometric, and unapologetically low, always linked to late ’70s optimism and the Bond era. For us car nuts, it’s more than a sports car. Enter the Encor Series 1 – a ground-up remaster that sticks to what made the Esprit iconic. Encor scanned an original car, refined the surfaces, and rebuilt it with modern materials and engineering where it matters. The silhouette is still unmistakable. Now there’s

From Viral DIY to a Six-Figure V12 Gamble Mat Armstrong is no stranger to ambitious DIY supercar content. Across the wider YouTube car scene, he has pushed the idea that even the most exotic machinery can be tackled outside traditional dealer networks, including experiments around 3D-printing hypercar parts. Bugatti has publicly explained why that thinking does not apply to a Chiron, citing material science and safety-critical tolerances. That context matters because Armstrong’s Ferrari 812 Supe

JaguarLand Rover products have never had the most stellar reputation for reliability, and with a new recall for almost every SUV nameplate that the company sold or still sells in America, that reputation is hardly getting any better. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced a recall affecting 170,169 mild-hybrid vehicles from nine model lines across a total of 35 products. In fact, the only SUV that JLR hasn't recalled is the electric I-Pace. It's a fairly serious recall,

True Innovation When it comes to speed, we're at the apex of technology. Mankin's interest in breaking speed records and finding every possible way to be the fastest has driven us forward. We've reached a point in time where 1,000 hp is as normal as having doors on your car.

Elevating an Already Iconic Formula Singer Vehicle Design has an undeniable talent for restomodding classic Porsche 911s. But like any outfit, a strategic collaboration can further push the envelope, and since the Porsche specialist opted to work with Red Bull Advanced Technologies, it is without a doubt a partnership that promises something special. Red Bull Advanced Technologies is the high-performance engineering consultancy shaped by the Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team, the multi-champ

When Formula 1 designer Adrian Newey completed the Aston Martin Valkyrie, it seemed as if nothing could top that, but the man has outdone himself, and with the reveal of the production body of his Red Bull RB17 hypercar, he's showing the world what might be possible when there are no rules to abide by. In a new video from Top Gear, not only do we get to see the latest iteration of the RB17 and grab a peek at the cabin for the first time, but we also get to hear its 15,000-rpm 4.5-liter V10 screa
