Operating a motor vehicle certainly comes with a level of risk, but simply breathing while driving usually isn't among them. That may not be the case, according to a recent study published by the American Chemical Society. It points to a specific flame-retardant chemical used on vehicle seats discovered in the air of car cabins. And it could increase your risk of cancer if you breathe it in.

Just about everyone and their mother makes a Porsche 911 restomod, most following the template set out by Singer, blending modern engineering with absolute reverence for the past. But over in the Netherlands, KC Performance does something different. It built a 993 with a PDK transmission. And this isn’t a...

With shifts away from traditional sedans and internal-combustion for electric power, the Chevrolet Malibu's days have long been numbered. On Wednesday, General Motors announced Malibu production would end in November. The Detroit News reports that the next-generation Bolt will eventually take the Malibu's place at GM's Fairfax Assembly in Kansas.

The desire for electric hypercars is already dwindling. Rimac CEO Mate Rimac said this week that buyers at the high end of the market want to differentiate themselves as EVs go mainstream. They want combustion engines and an analog feel, not what the masses buy. Mate noted during this week’s...

For those seeking a stronger visual punch on their current-generation Honda Civic Type R, Mugen is ready to deliver. The Japan-based tuning company showcased Civics with upgraded gear at the Tokyo Auto Salon back in January, and now some of those upgrades are available to order. The new offerings are...

Cars are too complex. What the hell do I need facial recognition or a 30-inch screen for? I'm not watching Avatar: The Way Of Water in 4K. That's why it was so refreshing to spend time in the Nissan Versa. The Versa is currently the cheapest car in America. You...

Making new tires for older cars is harder than you might think. For optimal performance, you want to use the tread patterns and construction methods the car was originally designed around, and for looks, you want the appearance to be as close to stock as possible. But, modern compounds bring huge improvements in safety, handling, and ride quality. The ideal is to combine old-school looks and construction with modern rubber. Pirelli announced Wednesday that it's making such a tire for the Ferrari Enzo.

Because all good things eventually come to an end, Bentley will retire its iconic W-12 engine this summer. The Batur Convertible is the last hurrah for the twelve-cylinder behemoth. But what comes after? A downsized and electrified alternative, of course. Bentley announced a new "Ultra Performance Hybrid" as its flagship...

The Huracan has been sold out for nearly 12 months, even though production isn't ending until later this year. The STJ introduced last month represents the supercar's epilogue and the last Volkswagen Group model to rock a naturally aspirated V-10 engine, following the Audi R8's demise. A new baby Lambo supercar will premiere in the second half of 2024 with a hybrid powertrain.

If you were to ask ten people what they hate most about modern cars, nine of them would probably answer in-car subscriptions. Paying extra to unlock access to hardware already installed in a vehicle is preposterous. Despite the backlash, Hyundai is announcing Features-on-Demand (FODs), which is marketing jargon for pay-to-use features.

It's been a long time coming. But the wait is finally over. The new BMW M4 CS is here, slotting neatly between the Competition and CSL to bring more power, less weight, and gobs of speed to the house of M. If you're familiar with the M3 CS, none of...

Don't have time to build a race car? Expedite the process by buying this Chevrolet Corvette C5-R GT1. It won’t be any cheaper, but it will get your butt in a dedicated, factory-built race car that’s ready to hit the track right now just in time for racing season.

Yanking the doors off a Ford Bronco isn't too difficult, and it's a great way to have a more involving off-road experience. It's not as great cruising at speed down the highway, and while you could install some tube doors, that's a lot of work for a more secure open-air driving experience. Based on this recently published patent for deployable screen doors, it appears Ford is thinking about ways to improve the experience.

It's been 15 years since General Motors pulled the plug on Pontiac and Saturn. The government bailout forced GM executives to make tough decisions about the brands under its purview, shaping the future of the American automotive industry in the process. Bob Lutz was one of those executives. We recently...

Each trim comes with a rooftop tent and two sliding rear doors, and some trims even get a kitchen. Volkswagen has redesigned its California camper van for the European market. The mini motorhome, positioned between the Caddy California and the Grand California, is available with a new hybrid powertrain and is larger than its predecessor, creating a roomier cabin.

Even the world's most luxurious SUV needs an update every now and then. Rolls-Royce's best-selling product gets a striking makeover for 2025 that inlcludes a redesigned front fascia. The unexpectedly bold approach is sure to stir controversy. The updated Cullinan is joined from day one by the hotter Black Badge derivative with its uprated V-12 engine making 600 horsepower.

Bentley's W-12 engine continues its farewell tour. One of its last shows is in Batur, named after a crater lake in Kintamani on the island of Bali, Indonesia. It's essentially a droptop version of the Batur coupe launched in 2022 but even more exclusive. The cabrio is limited to 16 units whereas the model with a fixed roof was built in 18 examples.

The electric car market seems to be cooling down after years of growth. However, Kia's EV onslaught is proceeding as originally scheduled with more models on the way. The next in line will be the brand's cheapest zero-emission offering: The EV3. It was shown in concept form last November at the Los Angeles Auto Show and now it's almost ready for the limelight.

One of these cars was built specifically built for the drag strip. The other has all-wheel drive and tons of power. The Lucid Air Sapphire drag racing chronicles continue. In the last few weeks, we've seen the 1,234-horsepower electric sedan clock a 1.77-second sprint from zero to 60 mph while running an 8.9-second quarter-mile time. That was a solo pass, and it backed up that performance by easily beating its direct competitor in the marketplace, the Tesla Model S Plaid.

The first AMG version of the new CLE-Class debuted at the end of 2023, and now, it's time to air things out a bit. Feast your eyes on the Mercedes-AMG CLE53 Cabriolet, combining 443 horsepower with open-air touring. That power comes from the same turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six used in the...
