The Koenigsegg Gemera is a four-seater hybrid with 31 miles of EV-only range

[ad_1] As the brand’s first four-seater, the Gemera marks the start of a new era for Koenigsegg. While others, even many of the world’s top performance names, are making high-utility crossovers and SUVs, Koenigsegg has chosen to add function while maintaining the coolness factor of a coupe. A real coupe. Who cares if you have […]

Audi’s tri-motor E-Tron S electric cars will be ready to drift

[ad_1] The tri-motor layout should help even if you’re putting about on your daily commute. That vectoring also improves traction by shifting the rear torque to the wheel with the most grip. Your car shouldn’t squirrel around as much when you drive over an ice patch or puddle. Audi didn’t provide an update on when […]

Ford hopes you’ll trade some privacy for discounted car insurance

[ad_1] The companies are promising discounts of up to 40 percent, although that will likely vary. The insurance is available now in 39 states with notable exceptions like New York and Washington, although it should reach other states “over time.” This is more convenient than other forms of usage-based insurance. You don’t need to buy […]

Tesla ordered to halt early work on its German Gigafactory

[ad_1] The court cautioned that it “should not be assumed” the Green League’s complaint was going to fail. Campaigners are concerned that wiping out that much forest could have a significant impact on drinking water and wildlife. We’ve asked Tesla for comment. This might only be a temporary setback, but it comes after hundreds-strong protests […]

Ariel will fully unveil its hybrid supercar this summer

[ad_1] While auto enthusiasts will likely want to hear about the Hipercar’s specs, they can expect some changes to the car’s looks too. A representative told Autoblog that “certain things will have changed,” but gave no further details. Ariel will hopefully announce pricing information as well. In 2017, founder Simon Saunders said, “It will be […]

GM will bring Super Cruise to 22 vehicles by 2022

[ad_1] GM had already outlined plans to deploy Super Cruise on all Cadillac models and other brands sometime in 2021, but hadn’t given numbers like this. While it’s a significant expansion, GM is still being relatively conservative. Super Cruise only allows semi-autonomous driving on specified highways in North America where Tesla’s Autopilot works on many […]

Maserati may unveil its first hybrid car on April 21st

[ad_1] The company hasn’t confirmed anything at this stage. However, it might represent a prime opportunity. Maserati has been struggling in China, with sales dipping 27 percent in 2019. This could spice things up by supporting the Chinese government’s push for more EVs and hybrids. As it stands, Fiat Chrysler plans to at least partly […]

Porsche’s first Super Bowl ad in 23 years is for the electric Taycan

[ad_1] The ad isn’t terribly complicated. It starts with what appears to be a thief stealing the Taycan from Porsche’s museum in Stuttgart, and quickly evolves into a Hollywood-style chase with several more conventional cars (plus one tractor) in pursuit. While Porsche doesn’t talk much about the Taycan, there’s no question it’s the star. The […]

Subaru plans to sell only electric cars by the middle of the 2030s

[ad_1] The announcement comes in the wake of ever-stricter emissions regulations around the globe, notably in China and in the European Union. The firm isn’t going to turn the tap off overnight, though. Toyota owns an 8.7 percent stake in Subaru, and the two partners are jointly developing a pair of electric cars due out […]

EPA estimates Porsche Taycan Turbo S range at just 192 miles

[ad_1] For context, the current Tesla Model S Performance sells for $99,990 with slightly faster acceleration (0-60MPH in 2.4 seconds versus 2.6) and an EPA-estimated 348-mile range. There are still reasons you’d consider the Taycan over the Model S, and not just for that Porsche badging. The Taycan may not be quite as fast, but […]
