This has to be one of the most interesting supercar sightings that we’ve seen in Beverly Hills. A guy casually roaming the streets captured a white Brabus Bodo Cabriolet and a black Brabus 900 G-Wagon parked together, with a yellow Ferrari Purosangue sitting just behind them. The Bodo Cabriolet immediately grabs attention with its long, low body and dramatic proportions. Based on the Aston Martin Vanquish, it features a carbon-fibre body and a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 producing 1,000. Just 77 examples will be built. Behind it sits the Brabus 900 G-Wagon, finished in gloss black and looking considerably more menacing.…

I picked up my Tesla Model Y one year ago, on August 30, and for roughly a year, I have had this vehicle prove to me that any other carmaker’s product is ruined for me forever. One year and over 16,000 miles later, the Tesla Model Y is easily the best car I’ve ever had. Of course, everyone always says that about the car they currently drive, but for the longest time, I truly believed some of the other cars I drove — my 1998 Volkswagen Jetta K2, or my 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid — would never be topped. Most…
