The 3E has in-wheel hub motors, 555-horsepower and advanced torque vectoring, allowing it to pull massive slides. Renault plans to deliver the first units in 2027 with a starting price of $185,000. With 555 horsepower going to the rear wheels, the new electric Renault 5 Turbo 3E is very lively. There may be more powerful and quicker EVs out there, but for putting a smile on your face, Renault's limited-run, rally-inspired EV might be better than all of them.

The optics on "brand America" are currently being assailed. An interesting time, then, for General Motors to renew its interest in the European market, although the reasoning is sound. Leading the charge is Cadillac's entry into Formula One (it's already competitive in world endurance racing, and the Celestiq luxury EV is burnishing the company's image elsewhere), but also critical is a new push for the Corvette.

The Fisker Ocean has a fascinating story. It was supposed to be the car that led Henrik Fisker's triumphant return to carmaking in the early 2020s, after his four-door sedan, the Karma, famously flopped in 2012 (due in part to Autopian publisher Matt Hardigree, according to some). Many blamed YouTuber Marques Brownlee, known as MKBHD, for Fisker's second flop, when his review of the Ocean - provocatively titled "This is The Worst Car I've Ever Reviewed" - went viral.

Tesla China's wholesale numbers bounced back in September after two straight months of decline, hinting at renewed momentum for the EV maker in one of the world's most competitive electric car markets. As per data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), Tesla China sold 90,812 vehicles wholesale last month, a 2.82% year-on-year increase from the 88,321 units that were sold wholesale in September 2024. The month's results represent the company's best wholesale figures this year so far.

Chinese regulators say that future plug-in hybrids must get at least 100 kilometers (62 miles) on electric power in order to qualify for any tax subsidies. This new regulation also includes stricter consumption rules while in hybrid combustion-engine mode. It goes into effect in China starting January 1, 2026. As the world of electrified cars grows, it's clear that China has stepped up to be a leader.

There's no arguing it: $36,990 and $39,990 for the Model 3 Standard and Model Y Standard were not what consumers had in mind. But, despite Tesla getting its new offerings to a price that is not necessarily as low as many expected, the two cars still have a chance to assist with quarterly deliveries. Here's how: First-time Tesla buyers will lean toward Standard models

Tesla has taken a huge step forward with its Cybercab project, as the vehicle has been spotted on the Fremont Test Track for the first time. Typically, when cars are spotted on the Fremont Test Track, it means Tesla has begun advancing the development of that specific project. With Cybercab production slated for 2026, it seems Tesla is ready to get things moving.

The Model S is among the most crucial developments in the automotive industry in the last century. Just as the Ford Model T made its mark on passenger transportation, becoming the first combustion engine vehicle to be successfully developed and marketed at a time when horse and buggy were the preferred mode of transportation, the Model S revolutionized things a step further.

I was driving on Main Street in Dallastown, PA, and the route was about to take me left onto Pleasant Avenue. It is a tight and usually very congested intersection; Main Street is a popular route for many construction vehicles and even some tractor-trailers. It is a pretty tight intersection for full-size trucks and larger passenger vehicles. It is not super tight for my Model Y, but it gets to feel congested at times, including with what happened yesterday.

BMW somehow sold a brand-new first-generation i3 EV in the U.S. this year. The car was discontinued stateside in 2021. Most likely, a dealer had the car stashed away somewhere and finally sold it in the third quarter of 2025. The first-generation BMW i3 will always be remembered as a quirky and innovative electric car, but what's even more interesting is that someone, somewhere in the United States, bought a brand-new one recently.

The Porsche 904 Carrera GTS holds a rare and revered place in automotive history - a car that not only marked Porsche's transition into mid-engine sports engineering but also laid the groundwork for the company's most celebrated endurance racers, including the 906, 908, and the immortal 917. Its minimalist design, lightweight construction, and sheer mechanical purity made it a motorsport icon. But with only a little over 100 units ever built - and just three fitted with Porsche's formidable flat-eight engine - the 904 has long remained a dream reserved for collectors and historians.

This particular F1, chassis number 14, represents a unique intersection of performance history, exclusivity, and royal provenance. Originally finished in Titanium Yellow and delivered to the Brunei Royal Family in 1994, this car is one of only 64 road-going versions ever produced - and one of the most meticulously maintained examples in existence. Expected to command over $21 million at RM Sotheby's Abu Dhabi auction this December, it is not just a car - it's a crown jewel of modern automotive history.
