Usually creating some sort of tension among the bystanders, this terrible duo is actually the easiest way to inform everyone that police officers are around and they will take care of everything. So just be a bit more cautious, not that you're a criminal or anything like that... Of course,...
The Fourth of July also represents the best day to be proud of and boast about this nation's car history. Although the automobile-making frenzy started in Europe, the U.S. shaped the automotive landscape back when the car was still in its infancy. However, we’ll not talk about...
From 1945, the year it was founded as Saab AB, to 2012, the year the peeps at Spyker sold the carmaker to NEVS, Saab manufactured lots of timeless machines. This is a teeny-weeny story about six of the most significant Saab cars ever made, as chosen by the editorial team of autoevolution. Before...
For starters, I’d have to mention that such high-tech motorcycle mirrors are only useful for those riders who change their stance while they are out on two wheels. I’ve met people who were stiff and rigid while they were riding, to the point that I was wondering how these guys could...
One of the fiercest drivers in NASCAR history, but a real gentleman outside the track, Dale Earnhardt was one of the most legendary American race car drivers ever. He was also probably NASCAR's first "people's champion", becoming a real superstar mainly because of his...
Without our drive for knowledge, cars wouldn’t have superseded the horse-drawn carriage. The thing is, driving from Point A to Point B is far from offering any sort of pleasure. If we were wired this way, then we would all be thrilled to commute to work and back home. You see, there’s...
Speaking of car design, Italians and wedges, the design house responsible for this rather strange but most definitely eye-catching design current was Gruppo Bertone. Their top designer in that era was Marcello Gandini (whom you can read more about in our dedicated article), who is also the one...
He is also the guy whose most famous creation, the DMC-12, encrusted itself into the wet dreams of almost every teenager of the 1980s. The car's addition as a time-traveling sidekick to the "Marty" character from the "Back to the future" trilogy should have done only...
This time, we are writing about a new gearbox option in the Dacia range, the first “two-pedal” solution ever provided by this automaker on a European level. Dacia calls its product “Easy-R.” The unit is an automated manual gearbox available in pair with either diesel or...
With a body designed by Peter Szymanowski (although some attribute it to Kurt Joachimson) and the technical bits taken care of by Fritz Fiedler, the 328 was encompassing all the major elements that were to be found in virtually all BMW roadsters produced since then. It had above average...
The Hagerty Insurance Agency, which is specialized in classic car insurance, tells that the awe-inspiring Chevrolet Corvette is the most popular collectible in the U. S. of A. The Mustang and Camaro have to settle for second and third place, respectively. With the advent of the 2017 Ford GT,...
Mkay, so from that portion of car customers, let's say that some of them go over the top, while having the means to do it, of course, and spend more than just a year's salary on a practical and safe family car. In other words, apart from the stereotypical Volvo station wagon or SUV,...
Airplanes aren't that bad, but they still burn tons of fuel each day. However, until we can find a cleaner way of moving people over long distances in a relatively short time, nobody is crazy enough to propose we gave up on them. Hyperloop promises to solve this problem by using a system that...
A brand linked to freedom, adventure, and high spirits, Jeep has this certain unwavering commitment of doing everything in its own way. The first glimpse of the "Go Anywhere. Do Anything" mantra came in 1940 when a freelancer called Karl Probst laid out the blueprints for a...
In the old days, sanctioning bodies used to require manufacturers to outfit much of the same upgrades of the race-ready car to a handful of road-going models. Regrettably for petrolheads, showroom-bred racing cars entitled to wear a license plate aren’t as plentiful now as they were in the...
