For decades, the 600cc supersport was the obvious answer if you wanted a serious middleweight sport bike. Machines like the Yamaha YZF-R6 built their reputations on lightweight chassis, aggressive ergonomics, and screaming inline-four engines that saved their best work for the upper reaches of the tachometer. That formula still has plenty of appeal, but it makes less sense for riders who spend as much time on real roads as they do chasing lap times. Yamaha’s current supersport lineup suggests there’s another way forward. The 600cc Supersport Formula Was Built Around One Very Specific Goal Action shot of a 2026 Kawasaki…

Fifty-plus years on, the 1970s still cast a long shadow over car culture. Enthusiasts rightly celebrate the icons — the Lamborghini Countach, the BMW M1, the Mazda RX-7, the Ferrari 308, the Pontiac Trans Am, the Datsun 240Z, and the Porsche Carrera 2.7 RS. But for every legend that defined the decade, there were performance cars that quietly came and went, leaving barely a tire mark on automotive history. Some seemed like brilliant ideas on paper but failed to capture enthusiasts’ imaginations — or their wallets. Others were hamstrung by quality problems, regulatory hurdles, or simply bad timing. Here are…

Lamborghini has launched a new four-wheeled vehicle that’s unlike its typical offerings. Sure it fits the bill in many ways, having four wheels, few seats, and high-quality materials. It’s even a limited edition. However, the lack of an engine, or even motors, and the fact it’s made for someone who might not even be a year old yet makes it unusual. Yes, it’s a Lamborghini stroller.

Talking of which, when Chery Auto announced that its China-built Freelander 8 would start from £37,000 there this month, it took 10,000 pre-orders in 48 hours. So, the inevitable question: is it a Land Rover or is it a Chery?  Advertisement – Article continues belowThe JLR CEO, PB Balaji, reckons his company owns the design, but admits “in terms of engineering, manufacturing and selling it, it’s Chery’s car. It is completely their baby”. Freelander 8 is likely to go on sale in Britain next year, but Land Rover badges will not appear on its bodywork and it won’t be sold…

Since inflation is a nearly omnipresent topic in the news cycle these days, it’s very refreshing to learn that the Ford Maverick is reportedly getting a price cut for 2027 that includes many of its trims. Auto pricing guide CarsDirect revealed that amid a flurry of trim level changes and shuffling, the sporty, low-riding Lobo will get more than $3,700 cheaper to start, making it an even tougher rival for everything from the Hyundai Santa Cruz to the VW Golf GTI.

Renewables and battery storage are projected to add about 82.9 gigawatts (GW) of new generating capacity in the US by June 30, 2027, while total fossil fuel and nuclear power capacity will fall by almost 3.1 GW. Electrical generation by renewables grew 11% in H1 2026 According to the EIA’s latest “Electric Power Monthly” report (with data through…

The entertainment industry may be approaching a strange new reality: the actor you are watching might not be an actor at all. AI-generated dramas and digital performers are moving from experimental technology into everyday entertainment, with production companies increasingly using artificial intelligence to create characters, scenes and entire short-form productions. The shift is happening quickly enough that some performers are already losing work – and, in some cases, being asked to help create the AI versions that replace them. The Financial Times reports that powerful new video-generation tools, including ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0, are accelerating the adoption of AI in short…

Sony Music and Warner Chappell have filed suit against Anthropic in the US District Court for the Northern District of California seeking damages for “tens of thousands” copyrighted works. The companies are asking for up to $150,000 per work, plus up to $25,000 for each instance when identifiable copyright data was stripped. In total, the damages could amount to several billion dollars if a court finds in Sony and Warner’s favor and awards the maximum amount.In addition to suing Anthropic as an entity, the complaint names Co-Founders Dario Amodei and Benjamin Mann as individual defendants. The suit alleges that Mann…

The asking price for a 1963 Corvette Coupe was $4,257 when new, and 10,594 units were produced that year, so why on earth did this striking blue-and-white example just sell for more than a Bugatti? As it happens, this is no ordinary Corvette, and its wild eight-figure auction result is perfectly justifiable. America’s Sports Car Shatters Records At Monterey Car Week The appeal of Chevrolet Corvettes has always been that they offer accessible performance at price points we mere mortals can tolerate, unlike their European counterparts. Well, that’s certainly not the case for this 1963 Corvette Grand Sport, as it…

Anyone who knows a thing or two about warranties will tell you that Hyundai is theundisputed leaderin standard coverage, and that extends to the Kia and Genesis brands, with a 10-year powertrain warranty up for grabs. Unfortunately, there’s a catch. When you buy a used Hyundai, the powertrain warranty is downgraded to a five-year plan, and that’s from the initial sale date, not the date that you bought the car. So, if you’re buying a five-year-old Hyundai, and it’s not CPO, you’re covering everything out of pocket. Here’s what you need to know… New Buyers Get A 10-Year Warranty. Used…
