The First Electric GTI Is Here And… It Is French
Peugeot just gatecrashed VW's electric GTI party with the feisty E-208 GTI. It's faster to 60 mph than a Mini JCW and stuffed with design nods to the legendary 205 GTI. With a range that would make a homing pigeon nervous and a price tag of around $46,000 - is this just a very short-range toy? The French have thrown down the gauntlet, and it's covered in red stitching.
Hyundai Called It a "Corner Rascal," and Suddenly, I'm Interested
Hyundai gave a 641-horsepower electric sedan a massive wing and then had the gall to call it a "Corner Rascal." A rascal? That's not a marketing term; it's what you call a naughty puppy. And I love it. Hyundai's Ioniq 6 N isn't just another silent appliance; it's a tire-smoking, hooligan machine that might just be the most exciting EV yet.
Chinese Phone Company Just Humiliated Every Supercar on Earth
My world is shaken. A phone company just built the fastest sedan on Earth. The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra lapped the Nürburgring faster than a $2M Rimac and a Porsche Taycan GT. With 1,548 hp and a 0-62 time of 1.98 seconds, it’s not a car - it's a teleportation device with a warranty. The old guard of supercars has officially been put on notice by the same people who make your fitness tracker.

A Half-Million-Dollar EV with a Bonsai Tree? Sign Me Up
Tired of boring EVs? A New York startup is building a $500,000 electric car with 800 horsepower, a wooden hood, and an interior you can change with the seasons. Oh, and it has an optional bonsai tree growing in the center console. This gloriously weird, half-million-dollar statement makes every other luxury EV look painfully sensible. I desperately hope they actually build it.

An American Invader on the German Autobahn? Now I've Seen Everything
An American EV startup is launching its 1,100-hp, 200-mph electric crossover… in Germany. Yes, really. The Mullen FIVE RS plans to take on the autobahn before it ever sees a US highway. It’s a plan so bonkers you have to admire it. With serious German engineering partners and hypercar-level specs, this might just be the most brilliantly absurd automotive story of the decade. I’m hooked.

Geely Galaxy A7 PHEV Is A Hybrid With 1,300 Miles Of "Are You Kidding Me?"
China's done it again! Geely's Galaxy A7 PHEV: a sedan so boringly sensible it's brilliant. Claims over 1,300 miles of range for about $14,000! Is it real or a tech daydream?

The Electric G-Wagen Is More Shock Than Awe, Apparently
The electric Mercedes G-Wagen, the G580 with EQ Technology, is flopping harder than a fish on a hot pavement. Shocking, I know! With sales figures that'd make an accountant weep, a pathetic 239-mile range for $161,500, and a tow rating that's basically a joke, it seems even icons aren't immune to a badly executed idea.

Ford Reveals Mustang Mach-E Pikes Peak Monster
Ford has taken a Mustang Mach-E, fed it a diet of pure lightning and aerodynamic witchcraft, and is unleashing it on Pikes Peak. With 6,125 lbs of downforce and ace Romain Dumas at the helm, this "Super" EV looks less like a family SUV and more like a carbon-fiber Batmobile. Will it conquer the mountain? June 22nd can't come soon enough!
Well, This is Awkward… BMW's Electric i4 Now Outmuscles the M4 CS…
BMW's i4 gets a jolt! The new M60 xDrive packs 593 hp and zips to 62 mph in 3.7 secs. Lesser models get a sprinkle of silicon carbide magic for extra range – about 13 more miles to find a decent coffee. Plus, a beefier battery warranty. More poke, more miles, more reasons for your wallet to weep tears of joy... or despair…

Bentley’s iconic Blower is back! Sort of. It’s 85% smaller, electric, boasts a hair-raising 20hp, and costs a mere $121,000.

This road-legal mini-marvel is adorably absurd, proving nostalgia can electrify anything, even your ability to outpace a brisk jogger.
