Usually, when you spy a particular vehicle coming packed with a twin-turbocharged, 6.75-liter V12 under the hood, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re about to deal with some sort of exotic supercar. Not so fast. Large power plants like these can do so much more than just kick out a ton of power and afford the vehicle they reside in an eye-opening top speed. The engine in question is found in a Rolls-Royce, which signifies the opposite of tire-burning performance. The result is a cabin so quiet at highway speeds it makes a Toyota Camry sound like a construction site.…

Cadillac and the UK go together about as well as George Washington and George III. The American luxury brand keeps trying to make a go of it in jolly old, but swings and misses like a little leaguer facing a fastball from Jacob Misiorowski. Now, after less than a year, the latest attempt could be about to fold. After all, it still only has one right-hand drive dealer in Europe, and it’s not even in the UK.

Toyota sold more than 300,000 examples of the Camry in the United States last year. While it’s a perfectly suitable car for most modern motorists, we can’t help but feel that some of those buyers wished they had bought something a little more adventurous. Something like a $100,000 coupe. Now, we’re not one to advocate spending beyond your means. Car finance figures are scary enough as it is, but don’t worry, as there is an alternative. Shopping around on the used car market reveals a smattering of six-figure specimens now changing hands for the same or less as a brand-new…

The past decade or so has been, shall we say, eventful for Porsche fans. If you’re not among the elite few jockeying for prime 911 allocations, you may find it difficult to get your hands on a proper enthusiast-spec Porsche. If you’re like us, you were heartened by Porsche’s seemingly last-second decision to sustain production of a manual variant of the Carrera S in the 992.2, but of course, there’s a catch. Well, more like 8,550 of…

Automotive The Lincoln Corsair is not disappearing after all. After Ford previously signaled that production of the compact luxury SUV would end following the 2026 model year, Lincoln has confirmed a 2027 Corsair Hybrid that keeps the nameplate alive with refreshed styling, more power, standard all-wheel drive, and a simplified two-trim lineup. The biggest change, however, has nothing to do with what sits under the hood. Instead of being built in Louisville, Kentucky, the 2027 Corsair will be imported to the United States from Chongqing, China. Visually, Lincoln has not reinvented its smallest SUV, but the changes give…

When mounted inside the traction inverter, TI’s TMCS2100-Q1 multiaxial coreless Hall-effect current sensor enables more efficient, longer-range driving experiences for EVs. Photo: Texas Instruments A tiny new sensor from Texas Instruments (TI) could help future EVs squeeze more range from their batteries while delivering smoother acceleration and less motor noise. TI’s new TMCS2100-Q1 sensor is designed for the traction inverter – the part of an EV that controls how electricity moves from the battery to the motor. Think of the inverter as the motor’s power manager: It needs to know exactly how much electricity is flowing so it can deliver…
