Ford aiming for under 7 mins at the Nürburgring? That’s ambitious. And also very cool.
I was at the Detroit Auto show! The F-150 Raptor R is a beast, can’t wait for 2024.
Audi’s keepin it mysterious huh. next-gen Q3 and A6 E-Tron sounds good on paper. wonder if they’ll deliver.
bugatti’s monocoque structure is just next level. its like they are from the future or something.
Not to be a downer but where are the electric cars? The Taycan sounds promising tho, I gotta admit.
Wow, the Ares S1 Gullwing looks sick! Can’t wait to see it up close. Anyone knows when it’s hitting the dealers?
