Cold-weather range loss remains a seasonal form of range anxiety for many electric vehicle shoppers, but a new Genesis concept car aims to prove that EVs can thrive in the cold. Introduced at the 2025 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the Genesis GV60 Mountain Intervention Vehicle concept turns the automaker’s GV60 electric crossover into an off-road rescue vehicle. To make the GV60 better suited for this role, Genesis swapped the wheels for tracks, adding carbon-fiber fender flares to protect them—and presumably to keep bystanders from being pelted by snow thrown up by them.

“The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.” Poignant words from history’s most dangerous dragon, Bruce Lee. But this story isn’t about the ‘Little Dragon.’ It’s about another dragon, the Toyota Sera ‘Twin Dragon.’ A fitting title, given to it by its mad scientist creator, Takuro Watanabe of Circuit & Dreams CLR. Not just because this is the year of the snake in the Chinese zodiac, but also because this Sera is a 1,000hp twin-engine 4WD beast that defies belief. This isn’t Watanabe-san’s first rodeo when it comes to crazy creations – you might remember his quad-turbo Nissan…
The Lamborghini Huracán captures the essence of high-performance supercars with its roaring V10 engine that not only delivers world-class performance but also an unmatched acoustic experience, a symphony that is becoming increasingly rare as the industry shifts. This engine, along with its performance-centric engineering and featherlight architecture, ensures that the Huracán is not just a track virtuoso but also a masterpiece of daily driving with its striking design and opulent features. Venturing into uncharted territory, Lamborghini has unveiled the Huracán Sterrato, a daring variant that brings the thrill of off-road adventure to the Huracán lineup. The Sterrato is an engineering…
General Motors is recalling all-wheel-drive versions of the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV because of adaptive cruise control systems that may fail to engage the brakes when needed. The recall of 2,890 electric vehicles comes in response to a software issue, according to the NHTSA. An “incorrect software calibration” of the brake control module prevents adaptive cruise control from applying the brakes. The system may still try to slow the vehicle by cutting power, but that may not be sufficient to avoid a crash. Drivers can still apply the brakes manually, but they may not receive enough warning to slow the…
The Goodwood Revival is one of the greatest gatherings of vintage race cars on the planet, but this year it will celebrate a decidedly un-sporty vehicle. An opening parade for the 2025 Goodwood Revival will feature “the most varied collection” of Volkswagen Type 2 Split Screen vans and pickups in the world, organizers boasted. It comes after last year’s Meyers Manx dune buggy parade, and a motorcycle parade in 2023. Volkswagen Type 2 Microbus to be featured at 2025 Goodwood Revival The VW Type 2—better known, in van form, as the Microbus—is no race car, but it celebrates its 75th…

The Audi Q6 E-Tron electric crossover wasn’t designed for hardcore off-road use, but a new concept car explores the possibilities of a more rugged EV from the German automaker. Audi posted photos of the concept—dubbed the Q6 E-Tron Off-Road—on social media Thursday, but didn’t provide much detail on its features. But it appears to use portal axles to raise ground clearance and allow for the biggest-possible tires. Audi Q6 E-Tron Off-Road concept Unlike conventional axles, portal axles situate the wheel hub below the axle hub, separated by gears. In addition to increasing ground clearance, portal axles allow for a wider…
Given how vast the tuning scene is in 2025, it’s hard to imagine a time when ordering aftermarket parts for your car wasn’t as simple as clicking a button. This shift isn’t limited to the aftermarket world. Nearly every major auto manufacturer now offers a level of customisation beyond just optional extras – think BMW’s M Performance, Mercedes-Benz’s AMG Line, or Toyota’s GR series. In fact, today you can order an unpainted carbon fibre bonnet for your 2.5-tonne Range Rover Sport directly from Land Rover as an option if you’re so inclined. Whether that’s a good idea, however, is entirely…
For decades, the idea of a “supercar” was exclusive to European machines, and domestic performance was excluded from the small and particular club. However, things are different now, and one of the contributors to that change was a manufacturer called Vector Motors, which boldly brought American supercars into the mix in the 80s and 90s. Vectors represent some of the first attempts at American supercars, and their bold design and ambitious purpose make them some hidden gems in the collector-grade car world. This Vector is the Avtech WX-3. It was one of the last models Vector has ever made, and…
