The Clavis EV has fewer variants than the ICE while we had the 51.4kWh NMC battery pack version with us. The range on offer is 490km but as always the real world...

Toyota built a car that feels ready for the road and that is exactly the problem

Toyota’s bold rally-inspired concept takes familiar performance parts and turns them into something that feels far closer to production than many expected. Built from the DNA of two already popular models, the car blends sharp coupe styling with the kind of grip and power that immediately changes the conversation. What begins as a tribute to the brand’s rally past quickly becomes a test of whether Toyota is underestimating what enthusiasts would actually buy. The deeper the build is explored, the more it starts to resemble a serious answer to years of fan demand. By the end, the real question is no longer whether the concept works, but why it is not already headed for the road.

They built one of the wildest performance cars ever made and then the law stepped in

A legendary Japanese performance coupe is pushed far beyond its factory roots in a transformation that turns it into one of the rarest machines of its era. What makes the story truly gripping is that the same radical engineering that made it so desirable also created a serious legal problem. As its design, history, and survival are unpacked, the car begins to feel less like a modified road machine and more like a lost chapter of tuning culture. The deeper the story goes, the more it reveals how ambition, rarity, and regulation collided in unexpected ways. By the end, this is not just the story of a remarkable car, but of how one icon nearly disappeared because it went too far.

How global rallycross supercars hit 60 mph in 1.9 seconds

Regulations limit them to 2 liter engines and 45 millimeter turbocharger restrictor plates, which ultimately are the two factors limiting power. The engines produce about 600 horsepower, and over 650 lb-ft of torque, rocketing these machines from 0-60 in as fast as 1.9 seconds. 1.9 seconds! If we do the math, 60 mph is equivalent to 88 ft per second. 88/1.9 = 46.3 ft/sec squared, or if we divided by 32.2, it means the cars accelerate at over 1.4 longitudinal g’s!! That’s faster than any production vehicle, regardless of how much it costs. So how do they achieve such mind blowing acceleration? First and foremost, you’ll need all wheel drive and an absurd power to weight ratio. With a minimum weight of 2921 pounds including the driver and all fluids, the vehicles are carrying less than 5 pounds of weight for every horsepower the engine produces. All wheel drive is obviously critical for maximizing acceleration, but it’s also important that the engine torque finds its way to the wheels with the most traction. To do this, plate and ramp style mechanical limited slip differentials are used front and back. A shallow ramp angle in an LSD will lock up more easily under throttle. With the differential locked up, torque goes wherever it finds grip. A steep ramp angle will provide little lock-up, or if it’s as steep as 90 degrees, no lockup.

Close call as truck swerves across lanes on expressway in Beijing, China

On February 21, 2026, in Beijing, China, @DaYu shared a dashcam video capturing a close call on the Beijing–Kunming Expressway. In the video, traffic is moving at speed when a truck in the right lane suddenly veers left while changing lanes. The dashcam driver is already nearby but reacts quickly, braking and adjusting position. The truck then returns to its lane, allowing the dashcam vehicle to avoid a collision. According to the author, the situation began when a car ahead in the right lane braked suddenly near an exit, causing the truck behind it to brake and swerve into the adjacent lane. The author stated they were traveling at high speed and had to react instantly, slowing down significantly to regain control and avoid impact. They also noted that the vehicle’s driving system assisted in stabilizing the car after the maneuver.
