One reason that electric sports cars are having such a hard time earning the respect of auto enthusiasts has to do with noise. Electric motors on their own are nearly silent, meaning they need simulated exhaust and engine sounds to provide the kind of feedback that sports car owners desire. The catch-22 is that the sound coming from the speakers gets derided as fake – because it is. Luckily, the V16-powered Bugatti Tourbillon doesn’t have to resort to automotive EDM. Every sound the Tourbillon makes is genuine, with nothing synthetic added to the mechanical mix. And what’s more, the company…

Audacity 4 has been in the works for some time, and had its own mini controversy last year when an unfortunate redesigned logo started making the rounds. The final version of the new icon isn’t nearly as bad as the early rendition that was circulating last October. But more importantly, all the promised improvements to the self-proclaimed “world’s most popular audio editing and recording app” are here, turning Audacity from a free and capable but extremely clunky audio editor into a powerful modern tool.The biggest change is the move to a non-destructive editing workflow. That means you can trim a…

One of the best ways of having fun with your clothes on is by flinging a well-sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata around a twisty back road, though you’d need to part with around $30,000 to be able to secure a brand-new one. You can find used examples of older variants for less than half that, but it’s still a fair chunk of money if you have other bills to pay or already have a couple of cars you need to keep running. As a result, a sports car on a $5,000 budget may be more appealing. It’s not an easy task…

The American electric vehicle industry has come under great scrutiny over the last several years, with the sector having had to fend off a series of frightening road bumps that threatened to wipe it off the face of the planet. One of the latest is the loss of the Federal EV Tax Credit, which has made buying a new EV more expensive than it was just under a year ago. As a result, brands that elected to retain a more diversified product range are reaping the rewards of this approach. The Hyundai Group is a perfect illustration of this. Hyundai…

Use a methodical approach to see what’s using the most space on your PC and easily clean it up. Nwz/Shutterstock There’s so much competing for the space on your computer that it’s easy to lose track of it all. Programs, photos, videos, games, downloads and your other items live alongside system data like temporary files and updates. That’s not to mention duplicate files and other junk that serves no purpose. When you need to clean up some space in Windows, it’s easy to see what’s using the most storage. With this laid out, you can create…

Ask the seasoned veterans and team headhunters up and down the Formula 1 paddock, and there’s only one name they’ll whisper when discussing rising talent and untapped potential: “Gabi.” As someone with decades of experience in various F1 teams put it to me, “he’s got the same level of talent as Max and Kimi, but maybe an even stronger work ethic.” Those are fighting words, but after interacting with the young Brazilian several times earlier this season,…

The 2026 Jeep Recon is the most unusual vehicle in this guide series: the world’s first fully electric Trail Rated Jeep, with removable doors, removable glass panels, a Sky One-Touch Power Top, 650 horsepower, and 402 days of market day supply that makes it the slowest-selling new vehicle in America per CarEdge’s September 2026 data. That last fact is the most important one for buyers right now. Cars.com confirms the Recon starts at $66,995 including the $1,995 destination charge for the single available Moab trim. Edmunds’ estimated invoice sits below the $65,000 before-destination MSRP, and with 402 days…
