DS no 8 shows how efficient a luxury EV can be

The 2026 DS No 8 is a French electric flagship that focuses on design, comfort, efficiency, and long distance travel. At around 4.8 meters long, it is not a normal SUV, coupe, or wagon, but a sleek mix of all three with an aerodynamic shape, illuminated grille, full LED lighting, vertical DRL details, 21 inch wheels, and a large rear window without a wiper. Inside, the cabin feels very French and premium, with brown Nappa leather, a unique squircle steering wheel, Focal Electra 3D audio, a panoramic glass roof, heated and ventilated rear seats, and a stylish minimalist layout. Some details are less convincing, including piano black trim, limited rear headroom for tall adults, and a weak rear armrest design. The Long Range version uses a 97 kWh net battery and can deliver more than 600 km of realistic range in efficient driving.

Can a 1300HP Nissan Patrol survive ice racing in RWD?

A 1300HP Nissan Patrol from Oman arrives in Europe and immediately becomes one of the strangest cars at an exclusive winter racing event in Austria. Built with a turbo TB48 engine, straight-cut gearbox, anti-lag, and a lowered setup, this Patrol is far from a normal SUV. The biggest twist is that its four-wheel-drive system cannot be used, forcing the driver to handle 1300HP through rear-wheel drive on ice and snow. At FAT Ice Race in Zell am See, the Patrol stands out among Porsche, Bentley, and other expensive cars with its loud sound, strange stance, and wild sliding behavior. This Nissan Patrol video gives viewers a clear look at Middle East car culture, extreme horsepower, RWD snow driving, FAT Ice Race atmosphere, and why a desert-built SUV can steal attention at a millionaire winter event.

10 Isuzus that earned legendary status & 10 everyone forgot

Isuzu built some genuinely great vehicles, then somehow became the automaker most people only remember from a used-car lot or an old ad campaign. Part of that comes down to timing: Isuzu quietly exited the U.S. passenger market in 2009, leaving a lineup that had drifted into badge-engineered GM leftovers. But buried in that history are cars that won rallies and reshaped Japanese sports-coupe design, right alongside a pile of models nobody talks about anymore. Here's 10 that built the legend, and 10 that quietly slipped away.

10 Suzukis that refused to die & 10 that never found an audience

Suzuki has spent decades making some of the most stubbornly reliable vehicles on the planet, the kind that outlive their own marketing budgets. It has also produced a genuinely strange run of flops that vanished from showrooms within a couple of years. Both sides say something about the company, since Suzuki tends to succeed when it keeps things small and simple, and struggles the moment it tries to compete somewhere it doesn't belong. The survivors kept going through emissions crackdowns and entire market exits, while the failures barely made it past their second model year. Here's 10 Suzukis that refused to die, and 10 that never found an audience.

How the Mini changed motoring

In 1957, car designer Alec Issigonis sat down in his studio and produced some rough sketches of what would turn out to be the blueprints for one of the most revolutionary automobiles of the 20th century—the Mini. The story of how this little people-carrier was created is as fascinating as it is unlikely, emerging as it did out of a fuel crisis that caused global supply shortages and sent gas prices soaring. The car is as popular today as when it first rolled off the production line nearly 70 years ago. But how did the diminutive Mini make such a huge and lasting impact on the automotive industry? In this gallery, we explore the vehicle's origins and highlight the genius that was Alec Issigonis. Click on to continue reading.

This V10 BMW estate was cheap for a serious reason

DriveTribe buys a rare BMW M5 Touring with a 500HP V10 engine and an unusual history. The car stands out because it combines estate practicality, a naturally aspirated S85 V10, and very limited production numbers. Its cheaper price comes from a previous write off caused by a small fire in the rear battery area, making it both tempting and risky. The video also covers the car’s strengths, including its sound, performance, luxury features, and rare specification, while noting issues like fuel use, SMG gearbox behavior, and future maintenance checks. This episode works because it asks whether a rare dream estate is still worth buying when its history is not perfect.

This 250,000-mile Toyota V8 still sounds better - but the new Land Cruiser crushed it

The old-school 100 Series Land Cruiser enters the race with a naturally aspirated V8 originally rated at 230 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque, plus roughly 250,000 miles already on the clock. Its opponent is the modern 250 Series, using Toyota's turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid powertrain with substantially more horsepower and torque despite having half the cylinders. Once the race starts, the difference is brutal - the newer truck immediately pulls away while the V8 driver stays foot to the floor and struggles to keep the other vehicle in sight. Even activating the old truck's mysterious "Power" button does little to change the outcome, although the V8 easily wins the battle for sound and old-school character. The test shows just how dramatically Land Cruiser performance has evolved, with modern turbo-hybrid technology delivering acceleration the older V8 simply cannot match.

A sporty little Toyota that works best in the city

The 2026 Toyota Aygo X GR Sport gives Toyota’s tiny city car a much sharper and more playful personality. With its compact body under 3.8 meters long, two tone design, black roof, yellow accents, 18 inch wheels, GR badges, and crossover stance, it looks more special than a normal Aygo X. Toyota also adds more than just styling, with 15 percent stiffer suspension and retuned steering for a slightly more responsive feel. Inside, the GR details continue with a perforated leather steering wheel, contrast stitching, GR seats, physical climate controls, JBL audio, wireless charging, and a large infotainment screen. The 115 HP hybrid system feels smart and efficient in city traffic, with EV driving at low speeds and simple drive modes. However, rear space is very limited, cabin materials are basic, and motorway comfort is not its strength. At over 30000 euros, the GR Sport is fun, but the smarter buy may be a mid spec Aygo X or a larger Toyota Yaris.

How much faster can a Porsche Turbo S get?

This tuned Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet shows how dramatically the 992 platform can improve with only a few carefully selected upgrades. Starting with the standard 650-horsepower twin-turbo flat-six, JD Engineering added 200-cell downpipes and revised ECU software to raise output to approximately 798 horsepower and more than 920 Nm of torque. On Germany’s unrestricted Autobahn, the car accelerates from 100 to 200 km/h in just 5.39 seconds and surges beyond 300 km/h with remarkable ease. Despite the substantial increase in performance, its all-wheel-drive system, active aerodynamics, carbon-ceramic brakes, and refined chassis allow it to remain stable, comfortable, and surprisingly easy to use every day.

Xpeng G6 begins a real five year EV ownership story

This first episode begins a real long term ownership series with the Xpeng G6 AWD Performance. After reviewing the car earlier and comparing it with other options, Peter was impressed enough to choose it as his personal car through a five year private lease.

Future episodes will explore real range, efficiency in different weather, charging and fast charging, family practicality, boot space, rear seat comfort, navigation, cameras in fog, climate controls, cabin noise in rain, and how well the car fits into everyday places like underground parking garages. The series is not paid promotion, but cooperation with Xpeng may allow deeper access to factories, service centers, and behind the scenes content. It is a practical ownership story built around real questions from daily EV life.
