After giving the Ferrari F8 Spider its N-LARGO treatment earlier this month, German auto tuner NOVITEC has now turned its attention over to the Italian supercar maker’s elegant Roma model, While aesthetic changes to the Roma are kept subtle, the company has kept aerodynamics at the core of the new design, with most of the kit built from data obtained through a wind tunnel. Up front is a new front spoiler, working in tandem with a carbon fiber grille and a rocker panel. You’ll also find carbon fiber upgrades to the rearview mirrors, and forged Vossen wheels take over down low. Turning to power, NOVITEC has upgraded both the electronic boost pressure control and engine control unit to bring the car’s horsepower up from 612 horses to 704, along with an increase of 90 pound-f...

A little more than a month after teasing the automaker’s first-ever electric car, Subaru has now fully unveiled the Solterra SUV. Designed and produced in partnership with Japanese compatriot Toyota, the new Solterra draws heavily from the bZ4X, sharing many of the same external features such as the entirety of its midsection. The front end is the most distinct, with a faux grille outline on top of a larger lower grille accompanied by two round fog lights, creating a more off-road and rugged aesthetic to reflect Subaru’s brand. The rear also gets a few adjustments, including a more distinct separation between the two taillights as well as two short red tails by the bottom reflecting the automaker’s traditional design language. Performance-wise, the Solterra is also extrem...

In a recent report, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owners have been duped out having USB-C ports in its electric vehicles. Some customers have only said that they only made the realization after purchasing the cars. Tesla’s own delivery specialists have said that the lack of USB ports is due to the chip shortages that are currently affecting tech companies globally. Electrek has reported that the company has been telling some customers that Tesla will install the missing ports in December. However, this does not apply to all affected Tesla EV owners. Recent buyers have taken to Reddit to express their own concerns regarding the missing USB-C ports. Those who have gotten in touch with Tesla are able to make an appointment to get them installed, however, it is not guaranteed that the parts ...

In the latest reports of the November 3rd crash in California involving a Tesla Model Y in Full-Self-Driving (FSD) beta mode, it has now been considered as the first incident involving the new feature. While no one was injured, the vehicle suffered irreversible damages. The initial accident was reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and coincided with the ongoing investigation regarding Tesla‘s Autopilot system. The Verge reported that, “The Vehicle was in FSD Beta mode and while taking a left turn the car went into the wrong lane and I was hit by another driver in the lane next to my lane. the car gave an alert 1/2 way through the turn so I tried to turn the wheel to avoid it from going into the wrong lane but the car by itself took control and forced i...

The Apple Car has mostly been a concept limited to speculation and rumors, with minimal information released regarding product design and launch dates and even no confirmation that they are developing their own electric vehicle. In turn, fans have resorted to looking at patents Apple recently filed to inform their own conclusions. In absence of any further details, a team at Vanarama has taken matters into their own hands and designed a concept car “using genuine patents filed by Apple Inc.” Filling in the blanks, Vanarama has recreated the possible aesthetic of what Apple’s futuristic car might look like through an interactive 3D model. Since the beginning, the Apple Car has been compared to the Tesla Cybertruck. While the design by Vanarama shows that the appearance of ...

Ford has just introduced a new 2022 Mustang Shelby GT500 that pays homage to the original 1967 Shelby GT500. Dubbed the “Heritage Edition,” the entire GT500 sees the exclusive Brittany Blue paint job, although it will cost an additional $10,000 USD to have racing stripes added to it. The exterior sees GT500 branding, and is powered by the standard GT500 5.2L supercharged engine that puts down 760 hp and 625 lb-ft of torque on 93 octane fuel. There’s also plenty of stopping power thanks to massive 420 mm front brake rotors with 6-piston Brembo calipers. The “Heritage Edition” is available now for order when it will cost around $79,000 USD which includes destination and gas guzzler tax. In other automotive news, Ferrari’s new BR20 fastback is an aggressive...

Ferrari has just unveiled a new one-off supercar under its Special Projects Programme. The BR20 is a V12 two-seater that’s based on the GTC4Lusso platform and is a modern take on Ferraris of the ’50s and ’60s — think the 410 SA and 500 Superfast. The entire vehicle gets its sleek fastback proportion through the removal of two rear seats and the addition of three inches in length to the GTC4Lusso, giving rise to a distinct rear overhang. Other design elements include a pair of arches that run from the A-pillar to the rear spoiler. This is a modern take on the marque’s “flying buttress” concept where the hollowed-out portions create an aerodynamic channel. Adding a new level of aggression to the four-wheel-drive supercar is a muscular rear bumper, qu...

The Acura Integra is back. Revealed just moments ago, Acura took fans back in time — pre RSX days — for the unveiling of the 2023 Integra in Indy Yellow. Paying homage to the DC2 Integra that has amassed an army of devote tuners and weekend racers thanks to its superb handling and legendary B18C engine (before K-swaps were a thing), the new Integra was made to connect with consumers on an emotional and performance level. On the exterior, the new Integra now features a dramatic sloping roofline and liftback tailgate. This gives the five-door sports-compact a coupe-like road presence. The Integra also sees the manufacturer’s new frameless Diamond Pentagon grille in between updated “Chicane” LED daytime running lights which are now positioned above the Integra’s JewelE...

PLAYBOY has just unveiled its updated version of the iconic Big Bunny private jet from the 1970s. The original Big Bunny was responsible for shuttling guests from Chicago and Los Angeles for recordings of PLAYBOY After Dark. It transported big names like Cher, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley, to name a few, but was retired in 1975. Set to transport artists, influencers, leaders, and icons, the revived Big Bunny private PLAYBOY jet will provide those special individuals an unparalleled experience — it is on this jet where once-in-a-lifetime dinner parties in the sky will be held. Created alongside PLAYBOY’s in-house creative team and International Jet Interiors, the new Big Bunny jet references the original version with a solid black exterior, PLAYBOY’s famous Rabbit Head logo ...
