Brigitte Thompson/Getty Images There’s something special about driving down a beach; the slight squeak of sand under your tires, the murmur of the crashing waves, the feel of your vehicle working just a little bit harder, all make you feel like part of the beautiful wild scenery. The early sand racers of Daytona knew the feeling. The 1960’s dune buggy culture of Southern California made driving on beaches even cooler. In Texas, drivers embrace beaches in a big way, enjoying over 200 miles of drivable beaches. Texans so enjoy their access to beaches that they coded public access into state…
…including 4.5kW motor, bigger 1.4kWh battery and 45mph top speed Yozma may not have invented the mini moto space, but they certainly helped mainstream it. Together with Tuttios and Sur Rons, Yozma’s IN10 was one of the most popular mini motos out there, and if you surveyed the average group of 14-15-year-olds in a suburban rideout, you’d be hard-pressed not to find at least a few Yozma IN10s among them… Today Yozma is shipping the IN 11, which attempts to bridge the gap between entry-level mini-bikes and high-end off-roaders, but at what cost? Taken in a vacuum, the Yozma IN11 is an…

Volkswagen is offering its Chinese-market Jetta M6 electric sedan with nearly 290 miles of CLTC-rated range for less than $12,000 (USD), and if that’s not what “der people’s wagen” should be all about, I don’t know what is. Launched as a joint venture between FAW and Volkswagen Group, the Jetta brand’s first battery electric car is finally here – and it is a genuinely accessible, capable, and kinda decent-looking family sedan in the same way VW’s original Type I was when it was first developed in the 1940s. The new Jetta M6 was launched earlier this in three variants: the 465…
The McLaren MCL HY Le Mans hypercar has been spotted testing at Circuit Paul Ricard, and this time the prototype had to deal with a wet track. Finished in the brand’s unmistakable papaya orange, the race car looks spectacular as it tackles the slippery circuit. A video shared on social media captures the McLaren Le Mans Hypercar being driven carefully through the corners. The downshifts are clearly audible, followed by the angry sound of its engine as the driver gets back on the throttle.
