Hours before the new Mercedes-Benz VLE electric luxury van debuted the iconic automaker’s CEO sat down with media to discuss why such a thing was arriving. The confidence could be felt and an undefined market segment might be unfolding in front of our eyes. Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius told The Drive, “I think the first

The luxury van wars are upon us and Mercedes-Benz is jumping out the gate ahead of Lexus delivering on its six-wheel concept. On Tuesday, in Stuttgart, Germany, the Mercedes-Benz VLE debuted as an electric luxury van with seating for up to 8 passengers, acres of screens, ambient lighting, and even the ability to get seats

Ford won’t lock its supercharged 5.2-liter V8 behind the Mustang GTD for long. Coming soon is the Dark Horse SC, a mighty leap from the regular Dark Horse that not only makes more power but also incorporates racecar-derived aero elements. The Blue Oval automaker revealed this new performance pony back in January, and now we

When people say “Montana license plate loophole,” they’re generally talking about rich people registering their supercars to a nonsense LLC formed in Montana instead of to themselves, to skip paying sales tax and registration fees.

Four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen is climbing into a Mercedes-AMG GT3 for the 2026 24 Hours of Nürburgring this May. Speculation about him driving in this race has been floating around for some time, but today Red Bull made it official with a pretty fun sizzle reel where skydiver Max Manow delivers him a

I don’t care if you’re into American cars or not—the 2026 Dodge Charger R/T is a fascinating product of a strange time in automotive history. It was initially introduced as a two-door electric muscle car. Nobody wanted that, but Dodge was ready for that possibility, with a gas-burning powertrain waiting in the wings. However, that

When it comes to style, no modern RV can hold a candle to this 1970 General Motors PD4108 “Buffalo Bus,” which is making a repeat appearance on Bring a Trailer. But if you buy it, you’re pretty much obligated to start a band and go on tour. It would be a shame to use this

When you’ve designed some of the greatest Formula 1 cars in history—and the legendary McLaren F1 road car—you don’t set normal performance targets.
