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.

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.
