The Cutest Existential Crisis on Four Wheels

Fiat's new Topolino Vilebrequin is the cutest existential crisis on four wheels. It's a beachy, turtle-print electric go-kart for the French Riviera, with a top speed not worth mentioning. It’s slow, it’s silly, and I'm obsessed. This tiny EV revolution is adorable.

The Electric Range Rover: A Silent Butler in Wellington Boots?

The Electric Range Rover is here, and it’s... a Range Rover. Shocking, I know. With 542 hp, a massive 118 kWh battery, and the aerodynamic profile of a garden shed, it promises 300 miles of range (if you drive downhill with a tailwind). It's still a magnificent, go-anywhere luxury barge, just one that whispers instead of rumbles. For $200,000, you get a silent butler in Wellington boots. I'm sold.

Tesla's Diner Is Real, and I'm Shocked I Want to Go

I rarely touch the subject of Tesla, but a retro-futuristic diner with giant movie screens and a potential robot waiter is too wonderfully absurd to ignore. What began as a mad 2018 tweet is now a real place in Hollywood, turning the chore of EV charging into dinner-and-a-movie. I was prepared to mock it, but I have to admit, I just want a milkshake served by a machine that might one day take over the world.

Rimac Decided Its World-Record Hypercar Was a Bit Sluggish

Just when you thought the Rimac Nevera was the final word in electric speed, they’ve made a faster one. Meet the Nevera R, a car that does 0-60 mph in 1.66 seconds, tops out at 268.2 mph, and costs a cool $2.7 million. It’s gloriously pointless, and I’m in love. It’s not a car; it’s a friendly argument with the laws of physics.

Bentley's First EV Is for The Dogs. Literally

Bentley's first EV concept is a three-doored, three-seated land yacht with a dog bed for a front passenger. Is this magnificent madness a sign of genius?

The Electric Boogaloo 2: Is the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N the EV We've Been Waiting For?

Well, I’ll be. Hyundai’s N division wasn't content with making a nutty electric SUV, so they’ve now given the slick Ioniq 6 a 641-hp shot of adrenaline. It’s got a wing the size of a park bench, and fake gearshifts. There’s even a "Drift Spec" version in the works. The electric future is here, and it’s learned how to do a massive, smoky burnout.

This Glorious Little Mud-Plugger is the EV We Deserve

Ever look at a cute electric city car and think, "I wish I could drive that over a mountain?" Well, some magnificent German lunatics did. The Delta 4x4 Renault 5 is a jacked-up, rally-inspired concept that's gloriously pointless and brilliant at the same time. With a four-inch lift, massive all-terrain tires, and enough lights to signal Mars, this front-wheel-drive mud-plugger is the electric car we didn't know we needed.

This Volvo Takes 'Safety First' to a Whole New, Bulletproof Level

Think your Volvo is safe? Think again. The Swedes will now sell you an XC90 that can take 300 bullets and still glide to the grocery store on silent electric power. It's the ultimate vehicle for the eco-conscious Bond villain or the extremely cautious soccer parent. Finally, a car that takes 'road rage' a little more seriously. And no, you can't open the back windows.

The upcoming all-electric Porsche Cayenne is an SUV with over 729 horsepower, the towing capacity of a pickup truck, and the cornering ability of a supercar. It’s silent, savage, and just a little bit silly.

The French have built an electric rally car. I know, I know, it sounds as exciting as watching paint dry in silence. But this one has 217 horsepower, a proper hydraulic handbrake for epic skids, and an external speaker to generate fake, crowd-pleasing engine noises. It’s a $70,000, hand-built contradiction on wheels.
