We’re just a few months away from Acura debuting its ADX small crossover. The ADX will be the luxury brand’s new entry point beneath the RDX, and it will be sized similarly to something like the Honda HR-V. We still don’t know all the details yet, but these new teaser images offer an early preview of the tiny luxury SUV. A single shadowy image of the ADX’s rear suggests it will maintain the brand’s current design language. The slim LED accents in the taillights are ripped right from the larger ZDX, and there’s a subtle lip spoiler jutting out from…
We love Skoda, don’t we folks? The century-old Czech automaker always has some interesting forbidden fruit that we can only admire from across the pond. This year, leveraging its history in motorsport, Skoda built a pretty badass rally car based on one of its otherwise unassuming electric SUVs. This is the Skoda Enyaq RS Race concept. Designed and built by Skoda Motorsport, the race division took a normal Enyaq EV and made it lower, wider, and lighter. Using biocomposite body panels incorporating flax fibers, and lightweight polycarbonate windows, the Enyaq RS Race is 661 pounds lighter than the standard Enyaq…

The Lamborghini Revuelto is a worthy successor to the Aventador that it replaces. Fans had feared that the automaker would neuter the car and drop the V-12, but Lamborghini kept it alive for the new model, instead augmenting the engine with three electric motors. Aftermarket tuner Underground Racing plans to further alter the hypercar’s V-12 by adding its potent titanium twin-turbocharger system, which it previewed in an Instagram video published yesterday. The upgrade should…

Honda has recalled nearly 1.7 million vehicles for a fault in their steering racks that could lead to “difficulty steering the vehicle.” According to the NHTSA’s recall site, the problem lies with the steering gearbox assembly. The assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, causing “excessive internal friction” between parts, which could lead to excess difficulty steering. A total of 1,693,199 vehicles are affected, spanning Honda and Acura brands. Most of the cars are on the smaller side, which makes sense considering it’s all the same part. Here’s the full list of vehicles and model years affected: Vehicle Model Years Affected…
Hurricane Milton is set to make landfall on the west coast of Florida on Wednesday night, with officials expecting huge amounts of damage and flooding. Evacuation orders have been issued for much of the coastline, meaning residents have left behind everything they can’t take with them. In some cases, that includes very expensive supercars. Videos published to TikTok give us a glimpse at the pricey luxury cars left behind by owners as the storm approaches. The clips show row after row of Aston Martins, Lamborghinis, Corvettes, Ferraris, G-Wagens, Porsches, and more stashed into parking garages and left to fend for…

Honda could have filed the trademark to protect its intellectual property. Honda has filed a trademark for the Acura RSX name in Japan.

Honda is preparing to launch a new Prelude, previewed as a concept nearly a year ago.…
Lamborghini is planning to release its first electric vehicle in 2028. Previewed by the Lanzador concept shown at Pebble Beach in 2023, it’ll be a funky SUV-shaped 2+2 grand tourer, rather than a sports car. CEO Stephan Winkelmann predicts the EV will sell as well as the company’s mainstream supercar, despite the public’s diminishing interest in battery-powered cars. Speaking with Motor1 at the launch of the Urus SE at the Nardò Technical Center in Italy, Winkelmann laid out the expected volumes of Lamborghini’s lineup following the launch of its EV. “The Revuelto is in the smallest segment, the volumes will…

Tochigi, Japan. A space that is integral to the very core of Honda. Tochigi is where Honda made every original NSX, using specially trained workers and a manufacturing process more unique than Honda’s other cars to get the Ferrari-fighting mid-engined sports car on the road. It’s also a stone’s throw away from the Motegi Mobility Park, formerly known as Twin Ring Motegi if you grew up playing Gran Turismo; a Honda-made racetrack made to generate more interest in motorsport in Japan. Tochigi is hallowed ground for Honda, so it’s only natural that the brand would fly several global journalists there…
