The ‘420’ tells you exactly how much power it has
This is the new Lotus Emira 420 Sport. Adding the moniker 'Sport' to a sports car feels a tad unnecessary, but the 420 bit is important: It gets 420PS-that's 416hp-making it the most powerful Lotus Emira in the lineup.

Here’s the definitive top 10
As the first ever mass-produced electric car, the Leaf was, understandably, a tad crude. Range was better measured in metres than kilometers, battery degradation was catastrophic, and the design... well, there wasn't one. But we had to start somewhere. And
We're getting closer to the top 10
Not the first rotary-engined production car-that accolade goes to the NSU Spider, developed by Felix Heinrich Wankel, who invented the technology and gave it that definitely-not-funny name. But the Cosmo was the first to make it work. It

It is also considering something above the Cayenne
In 2024, Porsche's operating profit was €5.64 billion (around P385.5 billion). In 2025, that collapsed to €0.41 billion (around P28.02 billion). Which means the new boss-Michael Leiters, formerly Ferrari, formerly McLaren-has to make some fairly

A blend of Japanese aesthetic practicality and nascent brutalism
Fuji Mountain Speedway, December 7, 2025. A precious, white-gloved Japanese man has just dropped very gently into the seat of Toyota Gazoo Racing's new GR GT and has proceeded to absolutely rev the bejeesus out of it. Whup-blam, crackle.

There’s an argument that it’s the most influential sports car ever made
