Porsche sets a bold exclamation point with the Taycan and opposes the sporty sedans of Tesla a technically superior four-door. The model designation, however, makes mockery among car fans. An electrical system with 800 volts, up to 560 kW / 761 hp, 1050 Nm torque – that’s a decent pound, […]

For example, the new Range Rover Evoque, which came with standard suspension and the average petrol engine (250 hp) for testing, […]

Big SUV coupes do not have a very good reputation among fine-spirited business people. Too pretentious, angry tongues also like to talk about progeroid. Sure, it’s fun, with a BMW X6 (successor comes this year) to tear chunks out of the asphalt – sophisticated in appearance, he is not. Quite […]
