The Genesis Hypercar Is Coming Soon

Image
Genesis was spun off from Hyundai to become a separate automaker in 2015. In just a decade, it has made a name for itself in the luxury segment by offering solid alternatives to Germany’s legacy brands and Toyota’s Lexus. After diversifying its portfolio with sedans, SUVs, and even a wagon, Korea’s only… Photo and Credits: This article is from and it appeared on Motor1.com – News on 2024-11-29 07:11:43 #Genesis #Hypercar #Coming

Racing turns its back on heavy, expensive hybrids for sustainable fuel

Image
Over the past decade, spurred on by series like Formula 1 and the World Endurance Championship, the world of motorsport began to embrace hybrid powertrains.  In addition to being a sport and entertainment, racing also serves as a testbed for new vehicle technologies, having pioneered innovations we now take for… Photo and Credits: This article is from Jonathan M.

Hyundai Made a '69' Joke. Nice?

Image
Remember when Elon Musk wanted Tesla to have a “SEXY” lineup? His original plan was for the Model 3 to be called Model E, but Ford already had the rights to that name. So in 2016, Musk said during a shareholder meeting that the Blue Oval was “killing sex” by not allowing Tesla to use Model E for its… Photo and Credits: This article is from and it appeared on Motor1.com – News on 2024-11-26 09:30:00 #Hyundai #Joke #Nice

Big power at a bigger cost

Image
However, if you’d like to use Apple Maps or easily access any of the media available on your phone while driving, you’re out of luck. The interface is clean and easy and ran well during my testing. I was particularly impressed by the ease of customization. Want a shortcut to bring up the 360 camera at the top of the screen? Just drag it from the… Photo and Credits: This article is from Tim Stevens and it appeared on Cars – Ars Technica on 2024-11-19 10:00:52 #Big #power #bigger #cost

Automatic braking systems save lives. Now they’ll need to work at 62 mph.

Image
Otherwise, drivers will get mad. "The mainstream manufacturers have to be a little careful because they don't want to create customer dissatisfaction by making the system too twitchy," says Brannon, at AAA. Tesla drivers, for example, have proven very tolerant of "beta testing" and quirks. Your average driver, maybe less so.

I, too, installed an open source garage door opener, and I’m loving it

Image
This is not egregious behavior, at least on the scale of garage door opener firms. And Aladdin’s app works with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, but not with Home Assistant or my secondary/lazy option, HomeKit/Apple Home. It also logs me out “for security” more often than I’d like and tells me this only after an iPhone shortcut refuses to fire. It… Photo and Credits: This article is from Kevin Purdy and it appeared on Cars – Ars Technica on 2024-11-15 07:05:35 #installed #open #source #garage #door #opener #loving

Mercedes-Benz previews next CLA, breaks EV distance record in testing

Image
Before the powertrain was ready for the CLA, it needed testing, which Mercedes did with an elegant concept called the EQXX. It’s capable of almost 750 miles on a single charge. We tested this silver arrow in 2022, learning quite a bit about how Mercedes’ EV engineers think in the process. As impressive as the 7.44 miles/kWh (8.35 kWh/100 km) I… Photo and Credits: This article is from Jonathan M.

This Wrecked Audi V-10 Engine Only Has Nine Pistons

Image
What’s your definition of a catastrophic engine failure? On the outside, this 5.2-liter V-10 from an Audi S6 doesn’t look terrible. It sat outside without an intake manifold, but that doesn’t mean the internals are junk. But they are. In fact, just about everything inside this engine is scrap… Photo and Credits: This article is from and it appeared on Motor1.com – News on 2024-11-10 15:00:00 #Wrecked #Audi #V10 #Engine #Pistons
