I drove the new Polestar 3 on a frozen lake in Swedish Lapland
It's the new Polestar 3! I was invited to drive a prototype of the electric SUV on a frozen lake in a small Swedish town called Jokkmokk, just north of the Arctic Circle.
With studded snow tyres fitted and three test tracks carved out to play on, I spent a day learning about the Polestar 3's stability control system and how it uses torque vectoring across the rear axle.

2024 Porsche Taycan | The new, 939hp Taycan Turbo S and its ultra-fast charging blew my mind
Переглядів 1 тис.4 місяці тому
I recently visited Porsche to see the new 2024 Taycan EV. I got to see the car in a studio and headed out for a passenger ride to experience the 939-horsepower Turbo S. I also got to try out the Taycan's new, ultra-fast 320 kW charging, which can fill the battery from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes. Simply put, it blew my mind. Porsche says the new Taycan's range has increased by up to 35% over i...

The greatest Ferrari collection of all time? | Casa Ferrari Lawn at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
Переглядів 3329 місяців тому
Here's a quick look at the Casa Ferrari Lawn at the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. I've never seen a Ferrari collection quite like it! There was everything from four 250 Testa Rossas and a 250 GTO, to every car Ferrari currently makes. The lineup also featured a couple of F40s, an F50, an Enzo and two LaFerraris. All that was missing was F1 cars and this year's Le Mans winning 499P

Hyundai Ioniq 6 review | Real world first impressions | UK drive

I was recently invited to drive the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric car for a day in the UK. This is the second car from Hyundai's new Ioniq all-electric lineup, coming after the Ioniq 5. Although both cars look completely different, they share the same E-GMP electric platform, with an 800-volt architecture and very fast charging. Hyundai likens its design approach to a chess set, where all of the...

    The price is TOO high. You can buy a donor MINI for less than £6.5k, then get the electric conversion kit from the the now many suppliers world-wide. You have loads of interior and exterior parts to choose from. All less than $£50k. So that £150k price tag is unrealistic for us mere mortals.😂

    You can vary the heater temperature. It doesn’t get hot in the cabin in the summer. The clutch is normal. The hood works well. The headlights are perfectly good. A tonneau is very useful to secure the cabin & even when driving along covering the passenger seat. The buzz from driving the car is the biggest buzz ever.

    Attention, according to new judgments and changes in EU and Gernan construction law, it may happen that deregistered cars, classic cars and even vehicles with seasonal license plates are no longer allowed to be stored in garages. The municipalities need money and send inspectors around to check whether work is being done in garages or whether deregistered classic cars are parked. ...that can cost up to 10,000 euros! It is even planned that in the future (unregistered) vehicles and trailers parked in the garden (outside garages) will be defined as structures for which building authorities will then require building applications and permits (and of course not grant them!); there will be a network of vehicle registration offices and building regulations offices take place so that building permits are requested by car owners as soon as they are deregistered.

    Dont feel guilty about your love of cars, they allow you to turn a trip into an adventure. After work one night when we were exhausted from closing after a busy shift, two coworkers asked me for a ride home. We started joking about work and the stuff we would rather do. Kathy said as soon as she falls asleep she was going to dream about being on a beach relaxing to the sound of the waves coming in. That turned into a road trip to the Connecticut shore. Three teenagers in fast food uniforms sleeping on the beach and waking up at sunrise by a slobbering dog too willing to lick people. When we meet up now all of these years later, the memory of that trip always comes up. I still have the Volvo 1800 S that got us there and back, and they always ask about it. In the beginning of the last century, Mr Rockefeller lobbied to have the worlds second most plentiful resource called a fossil fuel. The reason? To make it sound rare and limited to be able to sell it at a reasonable profit. Should we be enviromentally conscious? Of course, but we should also be aware of scams like climate change that are designed by people like Mr Rockefeller to make money off of us. In the 1970's it was global cooling, the 1990's global warming. Temps didnt keep going up and it morphed into climate change. Why? Follow the money.
