And it might be one of the most ambitious EV sound design projects yet. The Sound of BMW’s Neue KlasseSet to debut in 2025, HypersonX features 43 custom-crafted audio signals that shift depending on how you drive.

The last naturally aspirated Porsche Cayman sings one final verse—this time in the rain-soaked streets of Singapore.There’s something cinematic about driving a naturally aspirated Porsche in the rain: damp roads, moody skies and slick parking garages echoing with the reverberation of a flat-six. The 2025 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 isn’t just a precision-built sports coupe — it’s a statement. A final nod to the kind of driving experience that’s becoming increasingly rare.For our Test Drive, Porsche Singapore gave us a delivery mileage, Agate Grey spec, sitting low on black 20-inch wheels, red calipers peeking through and "GTS 4.0" script subtly marking the side. Over the course of a weekend in Singapore — through downpours, narrow city lanes, rooftop carparks and empty highways — it made on...

In Conversation With Shoreline Mafia
OHGEESY and Fenix Flexin are growing up.Despite making some of the most memorable West Coast trap music of the last 10 years, the Los Angeles-based duo behind Shoreline Mafia has traded all-nighters for intensive gym sessions and black label bottles for Erewhon smoothies. OHGEESY even bumps jazz and classical music more than anything else these days.Half a decade since their last studio album Mafia Bidness (2020), the former quartet (which also featured Rob Vicious and Master Kato) has turned into a pair – one more locked in than ever before, confidently picking back right where they left off but better.“Prioritizing the mental allows us to do everything better.

2025 Bentley Flying Spur: A Blueprint on Creating the Ultimate Executive Sedan
We've all had that supercar poster on our wall. What was yours? Lamborghini Countach? Ferrari 360? Porsche 911 Turbo? Whatever that wall art was, it single-handedly dictated your journey into car enthusiasm and – if you're fortunate – eventually found its way to you and your driveway.We bet you never had this on your wall though: A Bentley Flying Spur Speed Ultra High Performance Hybrid... especially in orange.We first got our hands on the Bentley four-door last year when it was pre-production up in Aspen, and we immediately fell in love with its long-body, ultra-menacing and aggressive "gangster" look.
