Niels van Roij Design late last year revealed the first details on a Ferrari Testarossa targa conversion the company was working on. This week, the Dutch car customizer and coachbuilder provided an update, including the reveal of the new name for the project: Guida Touring Sport. It’s no accident the initials are the same abbreviation that Ferrari often uses for its open-top models. Ferrari never offered an open-top version of the Testarossa, though it produced the wedge-shaped V-12 supercar for more than a decade. A Testarossa Spider was built at one point, though this was strictly a one-off built for…
JLR has been spotted testing a prototype for an electric offering to sit in its Range Rover family of luxury SUVs. JLR is known to be planning the reveal of an electric version of its iconic Range Rover later this year, though that isn’t the vehicle seen here. The electric Range Rover will match the design of its gas-powered sibling, perhaps with a few tweaks up front to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The vehicle seen here is much lower and sleeker than the Range Rover, suggesting it might be a successor to the current Range Rover Velar. The Velar has been…

The Hellcat isn’t the only version of the Charger targeted for theft in high numbers. Non-Hellcat models with Hemi V-8 engines…

In the Middle Bronze Age (about 3600 years ago or roughly 1650 BCE), the city of Tall el-Hammam was ascendant. Located on high ground in the southern Jordan Valley, northeast of the Dead Sea, the settlement in its time had become the largest continuously occupied Bronze Age city in the southern Levant, having hosted early civilization for a few thousand years. At that time, it was 10 times larger than Jerusalem and 5 times larger than Jericho. “It’s an incredibly culturally important area,” said James Kennett, emeritus professor of earth science at the UC Santa Barbara. “Much of where the early…
April Fool’s Day is often a day I overlook. Since middle school, it seemed like a dumb tradition to me. It’s just the beginning of a new month. I thought since no one I knew really participated anyway, so why should it really be celebrated? Is it really a national holiday? I did some research to answer my questions. It turns out that didn’t really help much. Maybe it is an April Fool’s prank, but with the many sources I looked into, there was only speculation about where this day came from. My favorite theory is that when France switched…

The GMC Hummer EV was General Motors’s first Ultium-powered passenger vehicle. The automaker went all out for the model, packing it with an obnoxious amount of power and cutting-edge features. And sales are finally starting to take off in 2024. They are up a whopping 83,330 percent in the first quarter of this year, but that number requires some context. Digging through the data reveals why the EV saw such a wild increase. The company sold just two Hummers through the first three months of 2023 as it was ramping up Hummer EV SUV production.
