Why Are We Obsessed With Supercars Which is the supercar in the world that turns heads before the engine even starts? It’s more than numbers. It’s a fascination with movement, design, and the impossible. It’s the way sound travels through your chest. The way tires kiss the asphalt. The way time stretches in acceleration. Understanding the Value Behind Exotic Speed Owning a supercar is not only about performance. It’s about rarity, heritage, and verified detail. Whether choosing a limited-production Bugatti or a futuristic plug-in hybrid Ferrari, decoding its background ensures transparency. That’s why many enthusiasts use tools like VINgurus to…
This webinar will introduce a method for evaluating EV motor efficiency by separating electrical losses using the Hioki PW8001 power analyzer. Focusing on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) under real operating conditions, the method analyzes copper and iron losses based on fundamental and harmonic power components. It reveals how increased inverter switching frequency leads to higher iron losses within the motor. Join this webinar at our September Virtual Conference on EV Engineering, presented by Hioki USA, to learn how, with wideband accuracy and User Defined Function (UDF) support, the PW8001 enables automated, real-time loss analysis. Efficiency and loss maps across…
A one-off Daytona SP3 Tailor Made has been sold at the RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction. Now, a regular SP3 would fetch around $5-6 million at auction. This one, though, was a bit special and went for an insane price of $26 million! The good thing is that all the proceeds from the sale will benefit ‘The Ferrari Foundation’. The special Daytona SP3 features a two-tone carbon fibre finish and Giallo Modena bodywork. The front splitter, sills and rear diffuser are finished in gloss black. One of the unique design elements is the Ferrari logotype in Giallo Modena that occupies the…
BRP, the Canadian powersports giant behind names like Ski-Doo, Sea-Doo, and Can-Am, has just pulled the cover off the latest addition to its rapidly growing electric lineup: the 2026 Can-Am Outlander Electric ATV. Its impressive specs put it at the top of the performance charts in nearly every metric compared to the company’s gasoline-powered ATVs. This isn’t just a one-off electric side project either. It’s part of a major offensive into electric powersports, and it shows that BRP is serious about expanding its lineup of quiet, powerful, and clean alternatives across the board, from snowmobiles to motorcycles, and now all-terrain…
The Byton K-Byte was the second car planned from Chinese EV startup Byton. Byton went bankrupt in 2023, with no cars ever reaching public sale. Two K-Byte concept models have been spotted in Northern California. China’s auto sector may be under fire for having too many car brands serving not enough buyers, but that sort of madness happened here in the U.S., too. Let’s flash back to about a decade ago, or even a little before that. Tesla’s dominance wasn’t quite assured yet. The Model S and Model X were cool, but many assumed the Model 3—and anything beyond it—would be vaporware.…
Barely a month goes by without a carmaker announcing a new lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Yet these times mean little to customers, and the image boost from combustion or electric lap records is increasingly negligible. Just before July turned to August, another headline dropped: General Motors, with its prestigious sports car, the Corvette, had set new lap times at the Nürburgring with its ZR1 and ZR1X models. Not an outright record, nor even one for a category of sports cars—rather, GM is now celebrating the comparatively meaningless title of fastest American manufacturer at the infamous Eifel circuit. “No…
If you’re a regular electric vehicle driver, chances are you’ve driven past public fast-charging stations without even realizing that they’re there. Compared to gas stations, charging hubs are less visible from afar, even though charge point operators are now making the newer stations more distinctive and visible. Over in Europe, a young French company is rethinking that problem and proving that charging stations can be practical, noticeable from afar and, erm… kinda sexy. Charge point operator Electra was only founded in 2021. In just a few years, it has built a network of more than 500 stations across Western Europe,…
The Trump administration is letting federal EV charger funding flow again. The DOT paused the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program in February to review the policy. States sued the administration, and a federal judge said they were likely to win. After holding up the $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program for months, the Trump administration will allow federal funds for EV charging stations to flow again. Shortly after Trump took office, his Department of Transportation effectively froze the program by revoking the guidance states needed to follow when submitting plans for how they intended to use the money, InsideEVs…
It was recently revealed in U.S. government filings made public that the Tesla Cybertruck was sought out by the Air Force for munitions training and testing, and the reason why the vehicle was specifically chosen will shock you. Last night, we reported that the U.S. Air Force was looking to buy a fleet of 33 total vehicles for its Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)’s Standoff Precision Guided Munition (SOPGM) training and tests. Documents filed showed that two Cybertrucks were requested. While many of these cars are used for simple target practice and are intended to be disposed, the Cybertruck seems to…
For Lamborghini, The Quail is the holy grail of luxury car events. The brand traditionally uses this exclusive Monterey Car Week gathering to debut its latest halo models—and this year is no different. Enter: the Lamborghini Fenomeno. Bathed in sunlight, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann strides confidently onto the stage. Each marque gets just seven minutes to present its latest to the moneyed crowd, and not even Lamborghini is exempt. Yet the North Italian supercar maker rarely misses its moment. The cover is pulled back, revealing the wild, bright yellow Fenomeno crouched on the pristine white stage. Applause follows. The price?…
