Polestar 5 shows the future of electric luxury GTs
The Polestar 5 is Polestar’s future flagship electric GT, built to show the brand’s best ideas in design, performance, comfort, and sustainability. At more than 5 meters long and nearly 2 meters wide, it enters the luxury grand touring space against cars like the Porsche Taycan, Porsche Panamera, Audi E Tron GT, Mercedes EQS, and Zeekr 001. The design is low, sleek, and aggressive, with a sharply dropping bonnet, huge 22 inch wheels, orange Brembo brakes, and no rear window, using a digital camera mirror instead. The Performance version brings a large 112 kWh battery and up to 650 kW of power, making it a serious high performance EV. Inside, the low driving position, Recaro seats, tall center console, vertical touchscreen, Bowers And Wilkins audio, and massive panoramic roof create a cocoon like luxury feel. Rear passengers get clever foot space, massage, heating, and cooling, although headroom is limited for very tall adults. The main concern is heavy use of piano black trim.

How global rallycross supercars hit 60 mph in 1.9 seconds
Regulations limit them to 2 liter engines and 45 millimeter turbocharger restrictor plates, which ultimately are the two factors limiting power. The engines produce about 600 horsepower, and over 650 lb-ft of torque, rocketing these machines from 0-60 in as fast as 1.9 seconds. 1.9 seconds! If we do the math, 60 mph is equivalent to 88 ft per second. 88/1.9 = 46.3 ft/sec squared, or if we divided by 32.2, it means the cars accelerate at over 1.4 longitudinal g’s!! That’s faster than any production vehicle, regardless of how much it costs. So how do they achieve such mind blowing acceleration? First and foremost, you’ll need all wheel drive and an absurd power to weight ratio. With a minimum weight of 2921 pounds including the driver and all fluids, the vehicles are carrying less than 5 pounds of weight for every horsepower the engine produces. All wheel drive is obviously critical for maximizing acceleration, but it’s also important that the engine torque finds its way to the wheels with the most traction. To do this, plate and ramp style mechanical limited slip differentials are used front and back. A shallow ramp angle in an LSD will lock up more easily under throttle. With the differential locked up, torque goes wherever it finds grip. A steep ramp angle will provide little lock-up, or if it’s as steep as 90 degrees, no lockup.

This Opel Mokka Feels Small, Quick and Surprisingly Usable
The Opel Mokka GSE is the performance version of Opel’s compact electric crossover, bringing a rally inspired feeling to a car that still works for everyday use. It shares its Stellantis platform and technical setup with the Alfa Romeo Junior Veloce and Fiat Abarth 600e, using 280 horsepower, 350 Nm of torque, front wheel drive, a limited slip differential, and strong four piston brakes. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km per hour takes under 6 seconds, making it almost twice as powerful as the regular electric Mokka. The exterior remains more understated than its Italian relatives, with a 10 mm lower stance, 20 inch wheels, yellow brake details, and standard Matrix LED headlights. Inside, Alcantara trim, metal pedals, and a sporty steering wheel add character. The biggest everyday advantage is the softer rear side of the bucket seats, which makes rear passenger space more usable than in its platform siblings. It is expensive, but it blends performance and daily practicality well.

An imported Lamborghini replica finally reaches the UK
A replica Lamborghini Diablo arrives in the UK after being shipped from Texas, but the project immediately reveals several unexpected problems. Jammed doors, broken latches, locked steering, and an engine cover that opens during transport make the journey to the workshop more difficult than planned. Once inside the garage, the team inspects the custom interior, handcrafted components, and supercharged Chevrolet LS V8 hidden beneath the rear bodywork. With a major automotive event approaching, the focus shifts to understanding what it will take to get the replica running, driving, and ready for its public debut.

Why some Canadians are losing patience with plug-in hybrids
Plug-in hybrid registrations in Canada fell in 2025, while conventional hybrids grew, a notable change in segment totals. The video explains how plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) perform in Canadian winters and why electric-only range often shrinks. It outlines factors affecting PHEV range, home charging access, and public charging speeds. Cold temperatures, cabin heating, battery behavior, winter tires, and road conditions can reduce electric range and prompt engine starts. Engines may also activate in EV mode for heating, defrosting, system protection, or added power. Regular charging is central to savings, yet renters and apartment or condo residents may face limited access. Many models rely on slower charging and may not use fast chargers, affecting public convenience compared with gasoline refueling or fully electric vehicles.
