  • 2016 Tesla Model S

    A software hacker may have spoiled Tesla Motors' [NSDQ:TSLA] plans for its next major product announcement, which may be a new, higher-capacity battery. Hacker Jason Hughes, whose name is no doubt spoken in hushed terms at Tesla's headquarters, revealed in a recent tweet found by Electrek (via Green Car Reports) that buried deep in the current Model S's operating system are references to the term "P100D". Moreover, he hacked a bit further and discovered that firmware updates over the last two months have even included a graphic depiction of the P100D badge. While Tesla itself has remained...

  • 2017 Bentley Mulsanne, 2016 Geneva Motor Show

    There's a new phrase for the very top layer of luxury in the car world. "Pinnacle cars" are the diamond-quilted, champagne-fluted versions of, you know, everyday luxury cars. A Benz S-Class isn't good enough to qualify. Make it a Maybach. Better yet, make it a Pullman. A Phantom? Fine, for starters. You do have a custom paint color in mind, don't you? At Bentley, the pinnacle car is the Mulsanne. It's a sedan with the pedigree and performance to claim best-in-class status, if not best-in-world. With rivals like those, that's no easy claim to make. Bentley's pressing the claim, convincingly...

  • 2017 BMW M760i xDrive

    2016 Audi RS 7 Performance and S8 Plus first drive review

    It wasn't that long ago that 300 horsepower was exceptional, 400 was the domain of Corvettes, and 500 was reserved for supercars.
