How this rare car was rebuilt 1,000 miles from home

Buying a rare Holden from Australia sounded like a great idea… until it arrived wrecked, moldy, and 1,000 miles away from home. This purple Holden with a roaring V8 had been sitting in a shipping container for months, hiding problems everywhere. A broken differential, mismatched tires, and mystery engine issues meant the odds were stacked against it. Somehow, after a frantic rebuild and a lot of questionable decisions, the car was ready for the ultimate test - a 1,000 mile drive across the country. The real surprise wasn’t just that the Holden survived… it was how much fun the journey became.

The billion-dollar gamble that created the world’s most extreme supercar

In the late 1990s, a bold idea inside a major automaker set off one of the most ambitious engineering projects in automotive history. The goal was simple but seemingly impossible: build the fastest, most powerful road car the world had ever seen. Engineers faced years of technical challenges involving extreme power, heat, aerodynamics, and reliability. The project demanded entirely new technology, including specialized transmissions, tires, and cooling systems. When the car finally arrived, it redefined the limits of performance and changed the future of the supercar industry.

I paid $11,250 for the smallest car ever…is it legal?

Most people dream about powerful cars, but this strange little machine only makes about 13 horsepower and barely reaches 46 mph. After paying $11,250 for the tiny car, the plan was simple - attempt a 100-mile road trip and see what happens. What followed was a loud, cramped journey that turned heads everywhere it went, with people laughing and pointing at the unbelievably small vehicle. Despite its size, the little car pushed forward mile after mile until something inside finally gave up. By the end of the trip, it proved one thing: sometimes the smallest cars create the biggest adventures.

Electric superchargers - how Audi is eliminating turbo lag

The Audi SQ7 is powered by a 4.0L sequential turbo diesel V8. It's good for about 435 horsepower and 660 lb-ft of torque, which is great, but the fun doesn't stop there. In order to eliminate unresponsive nature of turbocharged engines, Audi has fitted the car with an electric supercharger, the first in a production vehicle. This means adding an onboard 48V system that can handle the additional power requirements of the electric powered compressor (EPC), which at full throttle can produce 7 kW of power, enough to spin the compressor wheel up to 70,000 RPM in just a quarter of a second. Full details of how this system works in the video, as well as animations. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

Electric vs iconic - Can a modified Tesla beat a Porsche GT3 RS

A modified Tesla Model 3 that won its class at Pikes Peak goes head to head with a 250000 dollar Porsche GT3 RS in a one lap showdown at Streets of Willow. The electric sedan retains its stock battery and motors but adds aero, cooling upgrades and weight reduction to handle sustained track abuse. With battery temperature limiting performance, the Tesla gets just a single hot lap to challenge the Porsche’s benchmark time. The GT3 RS sets a blistering 1:21.3 before the silent EV clocks in at 1:21.8. The result raises new questions about whether electric performance cars can truly rival traditional track focused machines.

The car that shouldn't have been allowed to sell
