It’s safe to say that Porsche isn’t fucking around with the Taycan Turbo GT. This EV track monster is the company’s next step in the evolution of electric performance. You can bet that this isn’t the last step, either, as they continue to push the envelope with upcoming hybrid 911s and EV Caymans. I’m a … Read more
Image: Collecting Cars There’s a fine line between driving a sleeper and insanity. This matte black monster of a 2020 Audi RS6 Avant is more than a few toes over that line, delivering 1,100 horsepower of all-wheel drive with fire-spitting big-turbo fury. The turbos are so frickin’ big that they pop right out of the … Read more
The upcoming Polestar 3 hasn’t gone into production yet, but parent company Geely has already decided to give it a discount that slashes the EV’s price by nearly $10,000. Carmakers are usually timid with pricing forecasts for their latest models because final MSRPs are (supposedly) subject to things like volatile supply chains and the ever-increasing … Read more
Photo: Alfa Romeo The current Alfa Romeo Giulia certainly has its flaws, but it’s also gorgeous and an absolute delight to drive. So when the electric version finally lands (now in 2026), we’re really hoping it gets a nicer interior and better reliability without losing its excellent driving character.

Let’s see if that makes it worth plugging in. Reggie Watts Is A Big Porsche Fan | Jalopnik Chats “Large and in charge” is the best … Read more
I don’t know about anyone else, but I love a good sleeper car. It’s always hilarious to slap other drivers in the face with power and performance from an otherwise innocuous car. More than a few automakers have given us factory sleepers before, and two sleeper models from Cadillac are getting too cheap to ignore … Read more

Photo: National Motor Museum/Heritage Images (Getty Images) Designing a car is a massive undertaking. Automakers must effectively predict the future and produce a design that will be appealing for years to come, and the process starts years before the car hits the road.

The car company with a performance trim named after a throw-away joke from every 13-year-old’s favorite Mel Brooks film is apparently expanding its EV performance lineup downward with a new Model 3 Plaid on the docket.
