BYD Teases e7 Sedan with Up to 520 km Range

Image
BYD has teased its latest electric sedan, the e7, adding another model to its growing EV lineup. Positioned as a mid-size pure electric sedan, the e7’s teaser images reveal a sleek design, though detailed specifications remain under wraps. Regulatory filings indicate the BYD e7 measures 4,780 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,515 mm in height, with a 2,820 mm wheelbase. Powering the sedan is a 100 kW electric motor, allowing a top speed of 150 km/h. Battery options include 48 kWh and 57.6 kWh packs, offering CLTC ranges of 450 km and 520 km, respectively. Unlike BYD’s other models named after dynasties or marine life, the e series follows a unique naming convention. The last update to this lineup came in March 2024 with the e2 Glory Edition, though it is no longer listed on BYD’s official website. With the e7’s official launch expected soon, it remains to be seen if BYD can make the e series more competitive in China’s fast-growing EV market. Stay tuned for further update...

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 ...

Citroen Aircross & C3 Join the Dark Side with Special Editions

Image
Citroen India is expanding its special edition lineup with the upcoming Dark Editions of the Aircross SUV and C3 hatchback. Following the recent teaser of the Basalt Dark Edition, the brand has now hinted at a stealthy makeover for these two models. Like the Basalt, the Aircross and C3 Dark Editions are expected to feature only cosmetic updates. The teaser reveals a striking black exterior finish, complemented by dark chrome accents on the grille, badges, and alloy wheels. The signature silver bumper accents on the standard versions could also get a shadowy makeover, while the headlamps may feature a smoked-out effect. Inside, the teaser highlights a leatherette dashboard with red contrast stitching, a significant upgrade over the plastic dashboard seen in regular Citroen models. Black leatherette upholstery with matching stitching further enhances the cabin’s sporty appeal. However, no mechanical changes are expected, and the equipment list is likely to remain unchanged. The...

TVS to Make Entry-Level Norton Bikes in India for Global Markets

TVS Motor Company is set to introduce a new lineup of premium modern retro motorcycles under the Norton brand, marking a strategic expansion into the mid-capacity segment. According to sources, TVS plans to launch two to three models under the Norton name, with the first being a 300cc-400cc motorcycle co-developed by TVS and Norton. This bike is expected to debut by 2028 and will be built around a new frame, featuring TVS’ 300cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, which has modular capabilities to expand up to 500cc. While TVS currently has the Ronin in the cruiser segment, it hasn’t met sales expectations. The company sees Norton as a stronger brand to compete with the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Guerilla 450, as well as the Triumph Speed 400, where profit margins are high. TVS acquired Norton in 2020 and has since invested heavily in reviving the brand. Although Norton’s current lineup consists of older models, TVS aims to introduce up to six new bikes in the coming years...

Can the Suzuki Hayabusa Outrun Teslas and Lucids?

Image
When it comes to drag strip showdowns, few things are as thrilling as pitting the legendary Suzuki Hayabusa against powerful EVs like Teslas and Lucids. While many assume EVs dominate everything on the strip, the results often tell a different story—especially when a high-performance sportbike like the Hayabusa enters the fray. In a series of recent races, the Hayabusa proved it’s still a force to be reckoned with. However, the outcomes were far from predictable. The first rider struggled due to inexperience—his slow launches and lack of a proper burnout prevented the Hayabusa from getting optimal traction. As a result, the EVs gained an edge. Enter the second rider, who knew exactly how to handle the beast. With a well-heated rear tire and a modified Hayabusa tuned for drag racing, he nailed his launches and managed to take down even the formidable Tesla Model S Plaid. This highlights the critical difference between skill and raw power—while EVs may offer instant torque and mi...
