LEVC has unveiled a few sketches of its upcoming e-Camper, a spry plug-in gasoline-electric hybrid camper van. The leisure van aims to appease environmentally conscious adventures looking for greener mobility solutions in the campervan market—or those just looking for a way to get out and explore, which is perfectly acceptable too. The Geely-owned London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) was born in 2017 but traces its history back to 1908 with the London black cab, a vehicle that was the backbone of taxi services for a hundred years. The company’s modern black cab taxi, the plug-in hybri ..read more

Among the many aspirations of Carroll Shelby later in his life was to build a modern Cobra. With the original AC-based sports car has become a valuable classic—in spite of the ready availability of far more affordable knockoffs—Shelby felt the new millennium held promise for a Cobra revival. The famed automotive designer teamed up with Ford to develop a fully functional prototype and announced their collaboration at the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d’​Elegance. The Ford Shelby Cobra Concept would make its debut months later at the 2004 North American International Auto Show. Chris Theodore, fo ..read more

Behold! You can be the proud owner of a 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor for less than a hundred bucks. Better yet, you can gift Ford’s aggressive off-roader to any dirt-loving enthusiast in your life and forever be the favorite friend or family member. Like all things that sound too good to be true, there’s a caveat. The Lego 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor is about 17 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 6 inches tall. And it’s made of Lego bricks. Yes, a Lego Raptor is now a thing. Don’t get us wrong. Any kid can attest that things don’t have to be real to be awesome. The bottom line is that the new L ..read more

Getting older and growing apart from your friends is a sad fact of life. Kevin Hart and the Plastic Cup Boyz—John “Burgandee” Clausell, Ron “Boss” Everline, Will “Spank” Horton, Harry Ratchford, and Joey Wells—are lifelong friends and will do anything they can to stay close with one another, but careers, family, and life in general often find a way of foiling those plans. The Plastic Cup Boyz aren’t going to let that happen, and it was their shared love of cool cars and a desire to keep the group tight that started Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew. A couple years ago, Kevin Hart bought each of the ..read more

It’s hard to get Mansory body kits right. Well, what we really mean is it’s hard for Mansory to get pretty much anything right. The German tuning brand has a penchant for going well overboard most of the time. That said, we might have found the exception to that rule. Platinum Motorsports, a tuning company based in Los Angeles, has shared a few images of its newest project: a two-tone Mansory Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which just so happens to work. At first, this Rolls might look like a bit much. But, you have to think about Mansory’s history. After dishing out some of the gaudiest takes in the a ..read more

It currently is a day of the week—which one? Doesn’t matter, but kicking back at the end of it with a cold snack is surely a great way to wind down. But who wants to get up from the couch, work-from-home desk, or patio to grab their first (or second, or third … ) brewski from the fridge or cooler? You could train your dog to grab one for you, which would take effort, time, and commitment. Or you could turn to Heineken’s new B.O.T., which is, yep, a beer-carrying robot that brings the beers to you. Stop wondering what this has to do with cars, because the B.O.T. is kind of like a tiny self-dri ..read more

Fiorano. The word, let alone the actual place, bursts with visions of Michael Schumacher obsessively knocking off lap after lap of Formula 1 testing; of Ferrari 288 GTO and F40 prototypes finessing the ragged edges of their track chops; of Big Ideas pressure-tested under il Commendatore’s watchful gaze before he spirited away to the great paddock in the sky in 1988. If old man Enzo could today magically materialize and size up the new, staggeringly special Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano, the $567,490 (to start) wedge would probably trigger a cascade of questions. What Is It? For instanc ..read more

The Volvo Concept Recharge heralds a new era for the brand, and maybe for the industry—one in which platforms are engineered for evolution. Lots of cars offer over-the-air software updates to keep customers engaged in, and in love with, their vehicles. But in the fast-moving automotive future, keeping a car’s technology current will require more than just freshened code. So Volvo envisions planning and packaging its cars with an expectation of periodic hardware updates as well. Volvo’s chief executive officer Håkan Samuelsson said, “If a car is to live for, let’s say 10 years, I don’t see ..read more

Almost 50 years after its introduction, Honda’s lovable Civic maintains its role as one of the brand’s most successful bloodlines, and also one of the industry’s all-time best sellers. Now in its 11th iteration, the recently unveiled 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback joins the currently available sedan—and brings with it an optional manual transmission, more tech than ever, and a mature aesthetic that has proven polarizing. The Modulo Touch Honda Access Japan wasted no time in rolling out a handful of optional equipment pieces specifically for the Japanese domestic market (JDM) version of t ..read more
