In an owners’ forum anniversary message, the Blue Oval offered a small peek into the info gathered from the electrical crossovers on the road.

The entire experience lasted perhaps ten minutes from getting within the automotive to stepping out, and the speed of the lap was definitely geared more toward impressing well-to-do normies in the luxurious suites, but it was actually eye-opening for me. It wasn’t all that way back that BYD was a joke within the industry, but it surely’s turn into a powerhouse that shouldn’t be looked…

The automaker’s latest iDrive system – debuting 24 years after the unique – is information-maxxing and heads-up display-pilled.

As a substitute, you get a large “Panoramic Vision” screen that runs just about the length of the windscreen and an excellent more detailed heads-up display.

One intrepid individual began a person labor of affection to mix a 2010 California’s modern usability with the classic beauty of a 1963 250 GTE. Unfortunately after what appears to be several years of labor the project has been abandoned for the subsequent sucker, uh, I mean, intrepid wrencher to wind up.

Photo: JaguarProbably the most annoying and silly people on the web have been screaming about Jaguar’s “woke” rebrand for nearly a month now, despite the teaser campaign being extremely typical fashion-adjacent stuff that’s fitting for the brand new concept’s launch happening at Miami Art Week, and the “Copy Nothing” tagline actually being the corporate founder Sir William Lyons’ original saying, not something a brand new ad agency got here up with.

Supposedly, the Vietnamese automaker planned to enhance the VF8 over time, so it ought to be higher now than it was initially.
