Government website indicates that the V6-powered Genesis G70 is dead for 2027. Fueleconomy.gov only lists the rating for the four-cylinder powertrain. The twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 serves as the optional performance engine for the entry-level model, producing 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. The Genesis G70, equipped with the twin-turbocharged V6, resulted in a shockingly good sports sedan, but that fun ride might be over. The V6-powered Genesis G70 appears to be dead for the 2027 model year, as the government’s fuel economy website lists the rating only for the four-cylinder powertrains.

Kamilpetran/Getty Images Saving the world from robots xnk/Shutterstock Nobody told me the robot revolution would be this smoggy. To save ourselves from the robots, the same massive tech companies that are making them have a solution: go to space. Data centers need round the clock power, which solar can’t do because of, you know, night (though batteries are helping make up the difference). So why not simply put giant mirrors into space to reflect sunlight at all times? This plan (which sounds more like a supervillain’s plot to melt the ice caps) is now an actual plan from Meta. If…
The Bugatti Tourbillon Équipe Pur Sang features an enormous 8.3-litre V16, but we’ve found a driver’s-eye video from Pebble Beach that shows just how quickly this naturally aspirated monster can climb through the rev range. Captured from behind the wheel, the footage shows the Tourbillon being revved several times, and the response is genuinely startling. Despite the engine’s size, the V16 spins up so fast that it feels more like a much smaller performance engine, like that of a superbike. We also shared a video earlier this week in which Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac can be seen having a fun…

Orange County deputies are stopping motorists who block the left lane. Florida law requires drivers being overtaken to move right when practical. Speed differences matter, but road design influences how drivers behave. Florida drivers need to be especially careful to go at exactly, or very close to, the speed limit or risk a ticket. That’s essentially the message from local law enforcement after a new campaign targeting left-lane campers. The result is the opportunity for police to ticket either those going too slow or those overtaking at speeds above the limit. In terms of revenue generation, it’s a win-win. In…

Captain’s chairs finally come to the R1S Until now, the R1S only came with a second-row bench. For MY2027, Rivian is adding a six-seat…
