Larry Chen has been to some of the coolest automotive events in the world and has been doing this for a while now, so when he says that a show is epic, I believe it. And when I just watched this video myself, I can tell you that not only are the rides that have been put together for this show amazing, but the venue is second to none as well. This is a killer show with a collection of cars that are unlike anything you’ll see anywere else. Let us know what you think after watching it. Video Descr

The VW Onsabrück Saga A few months ago, it was reported that a state-owned Israeli defense company had set its sights on Volkswagen’s assembly plant in Osnabrück, Germany. The firm in question was Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and it’s responsible for building components for the Iron Dome, among other things. The previous report stated that the plant will build vehicles used to transport artillery and power systems for the Iron Dome. However, an update from Reuters has claimed there are now a

Seeing It in the Metal I remember seeing the Nissan Formula E car and the Leaf Nismo RC up close back in 2023. Both felt completely detached from their road-going counterparts – low, wide, and clearly engineered for nothing but lap times. Carbon fiber everywhere, purpose-built everything. That was exactly the impression I had when I stood in front of the Isuzu Challenge D-Max at the 47th Bangkok International Motor Show. This is Isuzu, a brand most people know for their work trucks, now showing

As average gas prices across the United States have topped $4.00 per gallon for the first time since August 2022 and continue to trend upward reaching $4.08 on April 2, Americans are starting to really feel it at the pump. Since late February 2026, gas prices surged over 30%—a rise of more than $1 per gallon—as a consequence of the US and Israel’s war on Iran, which has led to a volatile oil market with prices exceeding $110 a barrel on April 3. US Drivers Paid $8.4 Billion More for Gas Since th

Say hello to the 412 Superfast, a nearly $2 million 1987 Ferrari 412 with the 6.5-liter V12 from a 30-year-younger 812 Superfast. You're probably wondering why anyone would offer a restomod based on one of the ugliest, least-loved Ferraris ever made, and why they would spend a whopping $1.8 million in the process. The answer is simple: because the person who commissioned it loves the car and others of the era. It's as simple as that - each of us probably has a car we like that our friends don't,

The Lamborghini Revuelto is already arguably the most alien-looking machine on the road (perhaps with the exception of the unparalleled Czinger 21C), but that didn't stop the mad modifiers at RDB LA from taking things a step further with a new widebody kit. Over the course of just one week, RDB LA applied a 1016 Industries carbon fiber Vision Widebody upgrade, along with several other bits and pieces from the prolific designers of aesthetic enhancements for supercars. The Revuelto costs over $60

The Electric Truck Reality Nobody Talks About Electric trucks have a fundamental problem that no one wants to admit out loud. Take a Rivian R1T out on the highway, for example, and you'll quickly discover why they remain controversial for long-haul work. Their heavy curb weight, brick-like aerodynamics, and power-hungry motors mean electric trucks are fighting a losing battle against physics. Even with Rivian's largest available battery pack and 420-mile EPA estimated range, real-world range hov

What Might Have Been Honda has produced many interesting concepts over the years. Of course, most don't actually reach production, but there are one or two from the past decade that we wish the Japanese automaker had made for real. The first is the properly compact Sports EV Concept, shown at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. We'd probably swap its electric powertrain for a compact hybrid, but we reckon it could've been a sweet little sports coupe. The other one is the Project 2&4 powered by RC213V

If you are under the age of 20, you might not recognize this car, but otherwise you’ve probably seen a BMW Isseta before. Made famous again by the lovable and weird Steve Urkel character on Family Matters in the 1990’s, this little car is weird, cute, and fun with a heavy emphasis on the little and weird. With an entire nose that opens up, and a steering wheel that pivots out of the way, it required some practice to climb in and out of comfortably. But they are a car that makes you smile and def

(Photos by Neal Sabo) We just finished sharing our lost Buckeye Skips drag and drive photos from 2025 the other day, but we’re excited about 2026! Yesterday was Day 0, when everyone shows up for registration, testing, and wrenching, but we’ve already got photos from BANGshifter Neal Sabo. Neal will be there all week snapping pictures and checking out the cool stuff going on. He is planning to hit all three days, at Darana Dragway at Dragway 42, Darana Raceway National Trail, and Kuhnle Motorspor

If you thought Pininfarina's recent reimagining of the original Honda NSX was too old-school, perhaps you'll like what another famous design house has created. Italdesign has taken the covers off its own NSX tribute at the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon, and unlike the Pininfarina version, this isn't a restomod based on the original, first generation of the everyday supercar. Instead, it's a blend of old and new design cues draped over the body of the most recent NSX, and Italdesign, with Honda's blessin

The F-Pace Bows Out Jaguar has officially rolled the final F-Pace off its production line in Solihull, England. More significantly, the milestone marks Jaguar’s last internal-combustion model to be built as the brand prepares to transition to an all-electric future, even as more competitors across the industry scale back their EV ambitions. According to a report from the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club, the final example built was an F-Pace SVR, the range-topping performance variant of the luxury SUV.

British luxury brand Jaguar built its final combustion car in December last year, but it didn't necessarily have to be that way. In fact, the company had four new, next-generation cars in the pipeline before it decided to cancel all of them in favor of exclusively producing six-figure EVs. The revelation came through iconic former Jag designer Ian Callum, who worked for the automaker from 1999 to 2019 and was credited with evolving the brand from a company that made BMW and Mercedes alternatives

Despite reports to the contrary, Jaguar is sticking with an all-electric strategy, and it's making progress on the production version of the polarizing concept revealed in 2024. The concept was called the Type 00, and internally, the car bears the codename X900, but neither of these names will be used when the 1,000-horsepower luxury car is officially launched. What will that name be? We don't know yet, but according to a report from Autocar India, Jaguar will confirm the nomenclature of the pro

A Turnaround in the Making JaguarLand Rover has seemed off the pace in recent years, hit by a cyberattack that halted production last year and an all-electric transition that has proven challenging, particularly for Jaguar. But there are clearer signs of a turnaround, with the British government confirming £380 million (about $510 million) in support for Tata Group’s new battery factory in southwest England. According to Automotive News, the British government subsidy seeks to support electric v

JaguarLand Rover may be reconsidering how hard it can stick to an all electric roadmap, according to a report from The Times that says the company is exploring a new model concept that still uses gasoline. The report does not describe a traditional gas powered vehicle, instead it points to a range extended electric approach that keeps an engine on board to generate

Jaguar has issued a recall for over 16,000 I-Pace electric crossovers in the UK over a potential fire safety risk, sending owners into panic mode. In a notice issued to I-Pace customers, Jaguar said some of the EVs have experienced thermal overload in the battery, which “may present as smoke or fire.” Interestingly, while the UK’s Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) said over 26,000 vehicles built up to the end of 2021 model year are believed to be affected, Jaguar Land Rover said the fig

Jaguar's Road to Revival Jaguar has been known for its grace, space, and pace, while also constantly at risk of going out of existence. As good as most of its cars are, the British automaker just never made enough profit for true long-term survival. So, in an unprecedented move, it decided to axe all of its current cars and completely reboot its image. The 'Copy Nothing' reboot has received a mixed reception, to put it lightly. But the truth is, the previous formula just wasn't working anymore.

The Crown Jewel Test Drive Monaco is known as a small country with no personal income tax, making it a magnet for the ultra-wealthy. For car enthusiasts, it is also home to the Monaco Grand Prix, one of Formula 1’s most historic races. That is why Jaguar’s visit to the country to build hype for the Type 01 seems appropriate, especially as the upcoming model is touted as a car that will drive “like no other electric car.” For the uninitiated, the Type 01 will be Jaguar’s first car under its renew

Without any warning, Jaguar design boss Gerry McGovern has reportedly been abruptly fired in a shakeup said to have been instigated by the new CEO of parent company Tata Motors, PB Balaji. According to Autocar sources, McGovern was "escorted out of the office." McGovern was with JLR for 21 years, with his most recent work being overseeing the design of the polarizing and controversial Type 00 concept. As we've discussed before, this completely new approach to Jaguar styling (and marketing) has i

Close to Launch It won't be too long before Jaguar restarts production with its first-ever electric GT. First impressions had been made, and it's said to be a promising product. The yet-to-be-named model is crucial for Jaguar, and if it fails, we might as well wave goodbye to the British automaker for good. The car is expected to be revealed sometime this year. While there are a few details about it, its price is still a huge question mark. Now, a German publication has published its estimates,

Inching Closer to Reality A few months ago, select British press were able to experience the Jaguar GT for the first time. However, it was more of a ride-along experience, so no one knows what the car drives like just yet. Well, that is, until now. Some of the top names in the British motoring press, such as Pistonheads, have driven the prototype. They've given their respective impressions, as well as revealed some key details about the car that are definitely worth mentioning.

James Bond has always had impeccable taste in cars. In Ian Fleming’s novels, he drove a Bentley. The films made Aston Martin iconic. The 1970s flirted with Lotus, and the 1990s handed him the keys to BMW. What remained consistent wasn’t the badge; it was the idea that Bond always drove something aspirational, cutting-edge, and slightly ahead of its time. What it has never been, until now, is Chinese. BYD is changing that with the Denza Z9 GT, a high-performance luxury EV launching in Europe in A

Japanese Brands – American Hands Japanese-branded, American-made – three U.S.-made Toyotas are headed to the East, which include the Toyota Camry midsize sedan, Highlander SUV, and Tundra full-size truck. The Camry and the Highlander are models aiming to make a comeback in the Japanese market. The Camry was last seen for sale in Japan in 2023, while the Highlander (known as the Kluger for the Japanese market) made its last appearance in Toyota dealerships in 2007 – almost two decades ago. It's

The EV Holy Grail Is Getting Closer Solid-state batteries have long been positioned as the holy grail of electric vehicle technology. They promise dramatically higher energy density, faster charging, longer lifespan, and improved safety compared to today’s lithium-ion packs. For perspective, the original 2011 Nissan Leaf managed just 116 miles of real-world range. That was groundbreaking at the time. Today, the industry is chasing EVs capable of charging in minutes and lasting decades. Toyota ha
