Buckle up, folks, because the McMurtry Spéirling is about to turn your notion of speed upside down and put a grin on your face that even a racetrack can't erase. If you thought the Goodwood Festival of Speed was all about the roar of combustion engines, think again. Last year, amidst the symphony of exhaust notes, an electric marvel emerged – the McMurtry Spéirling. It sprinted up the hill climb like a caffeinated cheetah, leaving spectators questioning whether they were witnessing reality or a CGI masterpiece. Former Formula 1 whiz Max Chilton piloted this automotive lightning bolt to a jaw-dropping 39.081 seconds, setting a new bar for hill climb supremacy. Yep, you guessed it – that record-breaking baton was swiped from the hands of another electric superstar, the Volkswagen ID. R. Now, prepare to have your acceleration-loving heart throbbing with joy.

BYD's Chairman, the wizard of wheels, Wang Chuanfu, found himself on an electrifying rollercoaster of financial mayhem recently. Picture this: a staggering $1.5 billion disappearing from his net worth in a single day! Now, I'm not saying he misplaced it under his couch cushions, but it vanished quicker than a magician's rabbit in a hat. Investors, clearly in the mood for some high-voltage drama, abandoned ship on China's electric-vehicle stocks. The cause? Fears that the almighty Tesla had just pulled a rabbit out of their own hat - a price war! Wang's pockets felt a little lighter as his 17.6% stake in BYD took a nosedive of 8.7%, only to eventually crawl back to a 6.2% loss. But fear not, for even after this financial rollercoaster, Wang still retains his crown as China's ninth-richest individual, worth a sparkling $18.2 billion. So, while he might be crying "Oh, battery!", he's far from destitute. But wait, there's more to the EV entourage!

Gather 'round, auto aficionados, for the used car market is about to take a spin that would make even the most thrilling roller coaster pale in comparison. As the electric vehicle (EV) landscape charges forward, a new, unforeseen plot twist has emerged, casting a shadow over leasing companies, car dealerships, and potential buyers alike. Brace yourselves for the unsettling notion of "dumping" ex-fleet EVs onto a market already teetering on the edge, a perilous situation amplified by challenges like flimsy consumer confidence, rapid vehicle depreciation, surplus models, and the unnerving reality that cutting-edge technological advancements could turn yesterday's coveted EV into today's castoff. Imagine this scenario: a gripping movie where the protagonist, in this case, the used EV market, faces unexpected plot complications that could potentially spell its downfall. But fret not, dear readers, because we're here to dissect this narrative with a dash of humor a

Hold onto your steering wheels, folks, because the European car market has been on a wild ride over the last couple of decades. Thanks to the rise of Teslas and a bunch of newcomers from China, the car industry in Europe has been thrown into a blender and set to 'high.'  Between 2003 and 2023, it's been like watching a reality TV show where the big-shot brands have had their moments of fame and flops. Remember those seven major players: Fiat from Italy (because Italians know how to make things stylish, even cars); Citroen, Peugeot, and Renault from France (because what's more French than a car that parks itself while sipping a glass of Bordeaux); Volkswagen and Opel from Germany (they basically have a PhD in engineering), and Ford from the UK (because why not?). Photo by Chris de Tempe on Unsplash In the early 2000s, these brands collectively ruled the road with almost 58% of new car registrations in Europe. They were like the cool kids in the carpool lane, waving at t

Are you ready for a tidal wave of excitement? Brace yourselves, folks, because the much-awaited price of the BYD Dolphin has finally surfaced, and it's causing a splash that's sending ripples through the car market. Hold onto your steering wheels, because these price tags are so intriguing that even your granny's cat might do a double-take! In the midst of a Chinese car brand invasion, the European car market is undergoing a transformation that would put even Cinderella's pumpkin carriage to shame. While some of these brands ring a bell, others have zoomed in out of the blue like they just received an express invitation to the world's coolest party. One name that's been circulating, and not just for its logo that previously shared an awkward resemblance with a certain German automaker's emblem (cough, BMW), is none other than BYD. Ladies and gentlemen, roll out the red carpet for BYD! They've got a fresh new logo that won't leave you squinting, and a

As the automotive landscape evolves, the question arises: with the introduction of a new wallet-friendly Cupra Leon, does Seat's relevance dwindle? Rumors have swirled about Seat's potential change in direction, steering towards mobility solutions over the next decade. But don't fret; the dramatic shift isn't as dire as it seems, especially since the Cupra brand is set to blaze its own trail. Nestled in the same Martorell factory, this rebranding dance doesn't change the game too much. And let's be honest – Cupra's got some extra cash to burn. The Rise of the Affordable Cupra Leon: The End of an Era for Seat? Ah, the times they are a-changin', and the introduction of an affordable Cupra Leon hints at a twist in the plot. Initially, the script was straightforward: all the speedy Cupra versions would flaunt the Cupra badge, while the regular models would carry the Seat moniker. However, a twist in the tale unfolds as the Cupra Leon line now includes a plug

In the realm of automotive legends, few collaborations hold as much allure as that between Aston Martin and Zagato. Together, they have created a lineage of rare and collector-grade cars, each boasting a harmonious fusion of Italian design and signature Aston Martin elegance. These machines, renowned for their exclusivity, have consistently been sought after by avid collectors worldwide. In the early 2000s, the illustrious partnership took on a unique challenge - transforming the iconic Aston Martin DB7 into an Aston Martin/Zagato project. Although the resulting coupe couldn't be homologated for the American market, it ignited a fervent demand for a rare Zagato-penned Aston Martin beauty among American clients. This led to the creation of the extraordinary Aston Martin DB AR1 Zagato, aptly named the "American Roadster 1." With similarities in styling to the DB7 Zagato Coupe and a mere production run of 99 units, the Aston Martin DB AR1 Zagato stands as an elusive piece of

  In a devastating incident that has sent shockwaves through the maritime and automotive industries, the cargo ship "Fremantle Highway" caught fire while sailing off the coast of the Netherlands. This mammoth vessel was carrying a staggering cargo of nearly 3,000 cars, including some electric vehicles, on its journey from Germany to Egypt. The fire broke out late at night, with reports suggesting it might have originated from one of the electric vehicles on board. According to Reuters, the crew valiantly attempted to extinguish the flames, but their efforts were futile, leading to a harrowing situation where seven crew members had to make the heart-wrenching decision to jump overboard to escape the rapidly spreading inferno. Tragically, one crew member lost their life in this devastating blaze, and several others sustained severe injuries, including burns, broken bones, and breathing problems. Rescuers acted swiftly, successfully evacuating all 23 crew members from the beleag
