The plug-in hybrid BYD Denza B8 didn’t set the sales charts on fire, but its high-tech suspension promised a smooth ride across just about any terrain, adjusting damping and ride height while independently controlling hydraulic pressure at each wheel. It’s a neat trick, but one driver has figured out a whole new use for it: avoiding traffic boots. Footage circulating on Chinese social media accounts this weekend showed a BYD Denza B8 SUV driving down a public street on three wheels, its front-left wheel raised off the pavement and a yellow-and-red metal traffic clamp still attached to the raised wheel.…

Tesla sold 381,088 cars to Chinese buyers through the first nine months of 2026, down 11.9% from last year, according to CPCA data. Over the same period, Giga Shanghai’s exports more than doubled to 361,972 vehicles. Nearly half of what Tesla builds in China now leaves China.

Mercedes already offers a twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre V12 in the Maybach S-Class and the armoured S-Class Guard, although availability varies by market. The question now is whether the engine could eventually find…

Daniel Golson/Jalopnik A few weeks ago I was in Rome for the reveal of Bridgestone’s new Formula E tires, and luckily I had a few hours of free time to walk around the city, see some incredible ancient ruins and, more importantly, do some carspotting. Not even five minutes after setting down my bags and leaving my hotel, I spotted what must be the most perfect way to get around Rome: This bright red Fiat 500 Jolly. In 1957, Fiat boss Gianni Agnelli wanted a vehicle he could load onto his yacht and use around town on vacations, commissioning Carrozzeria Ghia…
