Using Tesla guts seems to be the preferred method for conversion these days. Audi hasn’t yet released an all-electric car (we’re not counting the limited R8 e-tron here), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some techies out there who haven’t converted Audis to electric on their own… Here is the project of converting an Audi S5 to electric using…

MOTOR1: Watch McLaren 720S Crush Its Opponents In Rolling Races

mclaren 720s rolling start drag race

 A 740-hp Porsche 991 Turbo S is no match for the British Supercar. We can’t imagine a better way to spend $300,000 than buy a new McLaren 720S. When it was released, the British supercar was described by many as just an upgraded 650S. But it’s actually a very different and much faster vehicle. Acceleration and…

It’s super right, even if it’s not superlight. It’s a good thing you can’t see the gorgeous, flowing Superleggera script adorning each of the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera’s hood strakes from the driver’s seat. Catching a glimpse of that chromed cursive while piloting Aston’s newest flagship might clash with the other stimuli tickling your senses.   HIGHS Knockout…

The Jeep doesn’t seem to have a problem, however. We aren’t sure what the bigger tragedy is here. Yes, that’s a Ferrari California hopelessly marooned in the middle of a flooded New Jersey highway. We aren’t sure exactly what year it is because of the second tragedy in this ordeal – vertical video. Folks, it’s 2018. Cell…

Fun fact: Only less than 10 Hartge H50s were produced worldwide. When it comes to German tuners, particularly those who are adept with BMW cars, names like AC Schnitzer or Hamman would be the first in the list. However, there’s one German tuner that’s basically underrated, and it goes by the name Hartge. Hartge has been tuning BMWs since the 1970s…

With 1,035 horsepower and a 4.5-liter supercharger, this tuned Challenger SRT Demon is incredibly quick and sounds even better. After showing off the ability of its HPE1000 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon to cross the quarter mile in 9.14 seconds, Hennessey now highlights what it’s like to drive the 1,035-horsepower (772 kilowatts) beast in a slightly more civil manner….

Back in 2004, Mercedes defined the modern four-door coupe with the very first Mercedes-Benz CLS, which was basically an E-Class intentionally bent out of shape in a tragic styling exercise incident. Now there’s a third generation with an exciting new straight six engine, and it’s a hoot to drive and much easier on the eyes. (Full disclosure: Mercedes-Benz…
