Volkswagen Plans New Pick-Up Truck for South America

Image
Volkswagen is setting the stage for its next-generation mid-size pick-up truck, with a $580 million investment in Argentina. The all-new model, set to succeed the Amarok, will be produced at VW’s Pacheco plant starting 2027 and is tailored specifically for the South American market. This move is part of VW’s broader global roadmap to strengthen its presence in regional markets with locally developed products. While the new Amarok will be built in South America, existing production partnerships in South Africa will continue to cater to international markets. The investment will also modernize the Pacheco plant—introducing advanced production tech, digital upgrades, and energy-efficient processes. With over 770,000 Amaroks already built there, the facility is poised for a high-tech future.

Lamborghini Temerario India Debut: Supercar Launch on April 30

Image
Lamborghini is bringing the Temerario to India much sooner than expected, with its launch set for April 30—well ahead of the initially speculated late 2025 debut. The plug-in hybrid supercar succeeds the Huracan and was first revealed globally in August 2024. At its heart is a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 paired with three electric motors and an eight-speed DCT. The V8 alone churns out 800hp and 730Nm, revving up to 10,000rpm, while the combined hybrid setup delivers a staggering 920hp and 800Nm. The result? A blistering 0-100kph sprint in just 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 343kph. The motors draw power from a compact 3.8kWh battery, which can be charged in 30 minutes via a 7kW AC charger or through regenerative braking and the V8 itself. The Temerario’s aggressive design takes inspiration from the Huracan but introduces sharper lines, a sleeker roofline, and distinctive hexagonal LED DRLs. The rear styling continues this theme, with hexagon-shaped tail lights and a centrally mount...

Hyundai’s 2026 Interiors Will Keep Buttons Where They Belong

Hyundai is set to unveil its next-generation interior design in 2026, with a strong focus on safety and usability. Unlike many automakers shifting entirely to touchscreens, Hyundai has confirmed that physical buttons will remain a key part of its cabin layout. Speaking with Autocar UK at the Seoul Motor Show, Hyundai’s Vice President of Design, Simon Loasby, emphasized that reducing distractions is a top priority. The new interior philosophy aims to keep drivers’ eyes on the road by minimizing screen reliance. This could mean smaller infotainment displays and a more intuitive touchscreen interface, ensuring essential controls remain within easy reach. Loasby highlighted that frequently used functions will be accessible via physical buttons, allowing drivers to make adjustments without taking their eyes off the road. He described the new design approach as a balance between modern technology and classic usability, ensuring a "calm and safe" driving experience. Hyundai...

Fast & Furious Toyota Supra Found Abandoned in a Field

Image
The Toyota Supra from The Fast and the Furious is one of the most iconic movie cars ever, but not all of them had a glamorous fate. One of the stunt Supras used in 2 Fast 2 Furious , driven by Slap Jack, was recently found dumped in a field—damaged and forgotten. Craig Lieberman, the technical advisor for the first two Fast & Furious films, recently revealed the story behind this car. Unlike Brian’s orange Supra from the first movie, Slap Jack’s Supra had a more extreme design, inspired by the Top Secret Supra. However, only the Hero 1 car received full performance upgrades, while the stunt versions were far less impressive. One of these stunt cars was used in the famous bridge jump scene during the four-way race. While some of the jump was CGI, the actual stunt caused severe front-end damage to the car. After filming, it was sold off, likely to someone who underestimated the cost of restoration. Years later, a photo surfaced showing the battered Supra abandoned in a ...
