A Modular EV Built Around Real Work The Kia PV5 is the first real-world test of its PBV, or Platform Beyond Vehicle, approach. Instead of a standard van, the PV5 is built as a modular tool. The E-GMP.S skateboard platform and Flexible Body System let Kia swap out different upper bodies on the same electric base. In practice, that means one vehicle can handle a range of jobs, depending on what you need. Even with all that flexibility, the PV5 keeps a compact footprint. It is actually smaller than

A Familiar Idea, Reimagined for an Electric Era When Kia showed the Vision Meta Turismo late last year, it was clear this wasn’t just another show car. The proportions and stance immediately reminded many of the Stinger GT, even if Kia didn’t say so outright. There was intent behind the design, not just a collection of futuristic ideas. At Milan Design Week, Kia revealed more about the Vision Meta Turismo. The Korean marque positions itself as a grand tourer built for the digital era, blending p

Across the Atlantic, the cheapest all-electric Kia is the EV2, which starts around the $31,000 mark, but it's too small for American buyers, so today at the New York International Auto Show, Kia has revealed the stylish new 2027 EV3. The automaker calls it a "right-sized all-electric entry SUV," and with up to 320 miles of range and a native NACS port opening up access to most charging stations, it seems like a decent runaround. All-wheel drive is also available, so it can be used in the winter,

A Workhorse With a Question Mark By now, you should know that Kia has an entry in the midsize truck segment called the Tasman. It’s aimed squarely at established names like the Ford Ranger, and early feedback has been mixed – styling and tough competition are both part of the conversation. A recent test in Australia probably won’t help the Tasman’s image right now. While the Tasman is actually a capable off-road machine, a pickup’s main job is to carry heavy loads in the bed without drama. If so

Kia Pushes Further Into Adventure EV Territory Hyundai's been betting on off-road-oriented vehicles lately, with the new Crater Concept making a small splash at the LA Auto Show. Its sister company, Kia, looks just as committed to that direction. The brand already experimented with rugged "Weekender" versions of the Tasman and PV5, and the newest addition just debuted in Guangzhou: the Kia EV5 Weekender Concept. Like the Tasman Weekender before it, this version of the EV5 gets the kind of upgrad

An Enthusiast Dream That Didn’t Sell The Kia Stinger was one of those rare modern cars that earned genuine praise from enthusiasts. Its rear-wheel-drive platform and available twin-turbo V6 powertrain gave it credentials that went beyond the typical expectations attached to the Kia badge. Despite that validation, however, the Stinger never translated that appeal into a substantial commercial success. Now, the Korean automaker appears poised to re-enter the four-door flagship space, previewing a

Following a surprise teaser earlier this week, Kia has revealed its new sedan concept, dubbed the Vision Meta Turismo, as part of its 80th anniversary celebrations. And because of its proportions, correlations to the departed Stinger GT are already forming. Whether this will be a rear- or all-wheel-drive car like that sedan remains to be seen, as Kia hasn't revealed everything about the concept just yet. However, the short front end and the fact that this design is meant to preview Kia's future

Out of the Blue Whenever Kimera is brought up in conversation, the usual topics are its classic Lancia-inspired designs, like the K-37 and K-38. The brand is no stranger to improvement and iteration, as is the case with the Kimera EVO38, whichfeatures a lightweight body, at just over 2,400 lbs, and up to just 650 horsepower. Now I say "just" because Kimera has one-upped itself again with the new Kimera K-39 - Powered by Koenigsegg. Coming in at just under 2,500 pounds and fitted with a Koenigs

That’s right, it’s January and that means that King of the Hammers is coming! King of the Hammers 2026 officially starts on January 22nd and will continue for more than two weeks. It features tons of prerunning, qualifying, and racing over those weeks and is an absolutely amazing event. If you dig off-road racing then you’ll like this event becuase there are vehicles of all kinds racing on two and four wheels. This is one of the gnarliest races in the world, and it all happens at the dry lake be

Shannon Campbell is no stranger to King of the Hammers obviously, and I can tell you from first hand experience that he’s a legend out there. From pioneering A-Arm front axle cars to running the race solo, he’s done a lot that others wouldn’t even think of doing. I’ve been fortunate enough to cover King of the Hammers several times and have seen so much craziness, and a lot of it thanks to Shannon Campbell. He’s made some insane manuevers, courageous repairs, and incredible performances over the

It’s time for a couple of weeks of off-road racing across Johnson Valley California at King of the Hammers 2026. We’ve got the livestream rocking right here the whole time, so make sure you tune in and keep up. We’re starting off with the motorcycle racing and will continue with all the four wheel classes as well. What was once called King of the Hammers week is now an event that is officially lasts January 24th through February 8th, for a total of 15 days. That of course doesn’t take into acco

Koenigsegg Looking Beyond Extreme Performance Koenigsegg doesn't need much help staying in the news. Its recent record-setting efforts, including Sedair's Spear's latest track feat, keep the brand's engineering front and center. For a company producing roughly 35 cars a year, it punches far above its weight. Yet there's a sense that the next chapter won't be defined only by lap times or aerodynamic experiments. Founder and CEO Christian von Koenigsegg has acknowledged that the company has been s

There is something really satisfying about showing up to a race and running career bests right off the trailer. Hell, running a career best anytime during an event is greatness. But when you show up with a new car AND you run career bests, that’s pretty special indeed. Check out the behind the scenes action from Kye Kelley and his team at Bradenton’s Snowbird Outlaw Nationals to see just how quick and fast he really went!

Not a Criminal Case Here's something you don't see every day. According to a report from Automotive News, a customer is suing a Honda dealership in Downtown Los Angeles, alleging the dealership filed a false police report to have officers repossess her vehicle. The lawsuit contends the dealership illegally used police as “personal repo men” after financing for the vehicle fell through. Christine Simpson alleges she was wrongfully detained at gunpoint when Beverly Hills police pulled her over. Of

If you've missed out on securing a build slot for the sold-out Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster, Sant'Agata's most powerful open-top car yet, perhaps the Italian automaker's new special edition will help. It's called the Revuelto NA63, and as its name suggests, it's exclusive to the North American markets of the U.S. and Canada, with only 63 examples available. As you may know, 63 references the year of Automobili Lamborghini's inception, and 2026 is the 63rd anniversary of that momentous occasion,

The Supercar Before Supercars The rivalry between Lamborghini and Ferrari is widely recognized in automotive circles, with the former introducing its first true contender in 1966 with the Miura – widely regarded as the world’s first supercar. Now, a report from The Supercar Blog suggests the Italian marque could revive the iconic nameplate this year to mark its 60th anniversary. However, the revival is expected to take the form of a special edition, similar to the Aventador Miura – a tribute unv

Lamborghini’s Exclusive Club Gets a New Member Among Lamborghini owners, there’s another level that exists above the usual limited-run specials. The company calls them “Few-Off” models – ultra-exclusive machines produced in tiny numbers and often reserved for the marque’s most loyal collectors. Think Reventón, Veneno, Centenario, and Sián. These are the cars that rarely appear outside concours lawns, climate-controlled garages, or at Monaco hotel entrances. Lamborghini just added another name to

Lamborghini closed out 2025 with a victory lap. The Sant'Agata Bolognese manufacturer delivered 10,747 cars worldwide, marking a new all-time record and the third consecutive year the company has breached the 10,000-unit mark. Revenue hit €3.20 billion, up 3.3% on the previous year, crossing the €3 billion threshold for the second-year running. If there's a ceiling, Lamborghini hasn't found it yet. Lamborghini

Sant'Agata intends to launch several new products this year, and while some of the new Lamborghinis will be relatively run-of-the-mill creations like the Temerario Spyder and the Urus Performante, the Italian automaker is also working on something for its most special customers: a roadster version of the low-volume Fenomeno V12 supercar. The new variant is expected to debut tomorrow, May 9, and if the past is any indication, the open-top Fenomeno may be even more exclusive than the "regular" 29-

The Autoblog spy photographers camped at the Nürburgring have spotted an extreme version of the Lamborghini Revuelto undergoing testing with more aero and some particularly sticky rubber. It's likely an SV or equivalent take on the V12 hybrid supercar, which already develops 1,001 horsepower from its 6.5-liter naturally aspirated combustion engine and trio of electric motors, and it's so wild that Lamborghini has put a warning label on it reading "Attenzione: Macchina Veloce," which translates t

For years, Lamborghini owners have been walking straight out of dealerships and into aftermarket shops, spending serious money to make their cars louder, crackle and pop (and bang) on the overrun. And while Lamborghini has offered Race and Akrapovič exhaust systems for previous models, the brand has now developed its own range of titanium exhaust systems for the now-discontinued Huracán and Urus. Sold through official dealers, it's designed to Lamborghini's exacting specifications, both technica

Lamborghini boss Stephan Winkelmann says he's been misunderstood. Referring to the Lanzador EV, he called the development of electric vehicles "an expensive hobby" and said that demand for such a product is "close to zero." This seemed to indicate that an electric Raging Bull was canned, but speaking with Autocar, Winkelmann said his quote was "a bit taken out of context." Rather than canceling EV development altogether, Lamborghini will continue its expensive hobby, but the results will only be

The Supercar That Started It All The Lamborghini Miura isn’t just another classic. It’s the car that set the template for what we now call a supercar. When the Raging Bull brand rolled it out in the 1960s, the mid-engine layout and those unmistakable proportions changed the game. Call it oversimplifying, but it made every other car at that time look ordinary. That legacy still matters, so a factory restoration isn’t just about making an old car look good. For this 1972 Miura SV, Polo Storico foc

Neither Lamborghini or the German tuning company Mansory are known for products you’d call ‘subtle’ or ‘restrained’, so it’s no surprise that when the two meet, the results aren’t exactly aimed at shrinking violets. That’s once again the case here, as Mansory, not for the first time, has got its hands on Lambo’s latest V12 flagship, the plug-in hybrid Revuelto. This time, though, it’s gone further than sticking some new aero bits and wheels on the supercar – instead, it’s entirely rebodied the c

The Revuelto Evolves With the Lamborghini Revuelto now about three years into its lifecycle, it seems about time for new variants to emerge, with an SV reportedly next in line. In a video shared by Varryx, what appears to be a Revuelto SV was spotted testing at Imola Circuit in Italy, suggesting its arrival may be near. Changes to this Revuelto prototype are still hard to pin down, especially since it wears red camouflage with a warning label that reads “Attenzione: Macchina Veloce,” or “Attenti
