If not a full-on heavy-duty hybrid capable of taking the place of some diesel models, there's a solid argument to be made that many industries that rely on HD American pickups could make good use of more battery power on job sites.

A day after announcing it would spend billions to build gas-powered trucks at a North American plant once earmarked for electric vehicles, Ford's European division also admitted it would rethink its plans to go all-EV there by the next decade.

The plucky Panamera GTS is stripped down to the basics apart from 493-horsepower V8 and some go-fast accessories, while the new Turbo S packs 771 horsepower — enough to shrug off the new 717-horsepower BMW M5 and set a new 'Ring record — and 737 pound-feet of torque.

Manufacturers often cover the packs with an 8-year warranty, but a battery is expected to last much longer (with a lower capacity and performance), potentially as long as the car itself.

In its first official outing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Czinger 21C—an obscure supercar from California—broke the production road car record and cracked the top 10 fastest times of the weekend.

As part of China’s strict system of capital controls, Beijing requires companies to get government approval for overseas direct investment above a certain threshold, which is typically an arduous and months-long bureaucratic process.

In case you're wondering why some of the images show a GR86 with glorious steel wheels, that's the cup car tailored to compete in a dedicated racing series.

People on the low or high ends of the age spectrum also tend to see higher insurance costs, but the most impactful factors relate to the driver’s record of behavior on the roads.
