We’ve been waiting 20 years for a worthy follow-up to the 2006 Dodge Ram SRT-10, one of our all-time favorite pickups, and it’s finally here, so forgive us if we’re a bit giddy at the Ram 1500’s new Rumble Bee lineup. The trucks include a range of performance models from the 395-horsepower Rumble Bee to the 470-hp 392 model, but the main attraction is the Rumble Bee SRT, a 777-hp pickup running on a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 scores some extra cool points for its 10-cylinder Viper engine, but powerplant technology has come a long way in…

The R 1300 GS Spoils You With Several Luxurious Elements 2026 BMW R 1300 GS cinematic front fascia shot riding away from the sunsetBMW Motorrad The R 1300 GS replaced the R 1250 GS, so it surely had big shoes to fill. Accordingly, BMW has made sure to throw in some high-end elements here. The chassis, for instance, is one of a kind in the segment, built to shave off serious weight over its predecessor. The suspension follows the same brief, featuring the Paralever and Telever setup. Then, the 1,300cc boxer engine has technologies like variable valve timing to produce…

A disguised IONIQ 6 was spotted near Hyundai’s R&D hub in Europe, revealing much more than a standard refresh model. Hyundai tests upcoming SDV with the IONIQ 6 After introducing its advanced new infotainment system, Pleos Connect, last month, Hyundai said it was the first major step in the company’s transition from a standard automaker to a “software-centric mobility leader.” The system is similar to what’s found in Tesla models, with apps and a customizable layout, making it easier to find what you need, like a smartphone. Hyundai’s setup includes two main screens. The larger central touchscreen is divided into…

Apple takes its sweet time in adopting a new trend or technology, but when it does, it comes up with one of the best implementations ever. That’s exactly what everyone is expecting from the company’s first foldable. Call it the iPhone Fold or the iPhone Ultra, the Cupertino giant has more riding on this launch than perhaps any product launched in the last few years, and it could break cover later this year. The rumors have been building for months, but at this point, we have a clearer picture than ever, both of the engineering advancements Apple is pushing hard…

We’ve seen a number of manufacturers rowing back on their touchscreen-laden dash designs of late and it appears the news has reached KGM – judging from the newly facelifted Torres. The Torres has only been on sale here in the UK since 2024, shortly after KGM’s rebranding from SsangYong. The updated car has only been spotted in Korea so far, but we expect it to arrive in the UK shortly to provide fresh competition to the Skoda Kodiaq and Nissan X-Trail. There’s not too much change on the outside – just a new front bumper and reshaped grille with horizontal slats. The…

The world of automotive engines used to be such a fascinating place. OEMs could come up with some really weird and wonderful creations to power a variety of their everyday vehicles. Just look at Volkswagen as an example, with its air-cooled flat fours, tunable twenty-valve mills, stout V6 powerplants, and Frankenstein-like W8s. Sadly, the engine field is much more black-and-white these days, but there are still opportunities to enjoy some of those older engines in unassuming vehicles on used-car lots. A case in point is a 2023 Volkswagen Atlas SEL Premium 4Motion, which is often available with average mileage and…

The phrase “money can’t buy taste” is a cliché, but it’s one of those clichés that’s a cliché for a reason. The enemy of taste is vulgarity, but there will always be a market for people with more money than taste. And the automotive market is no exception. However, despite it being a common theme throughout this list, that doesn’t mean the most vulgar cars are always expensive. In fact, the top of the list of vulgar vehicles is available to buy now and costs less than $70,000. And don’t worry, we haven’t fallen into the trap of thinking vulgarity…
