Virtually every automaker in the luxury segment and even some mainstream makes offer personalization options direct from the factory. Lotus saw the need more than a decade ago but due to limited resources at the time outsourced its personalization work to tuning firm Mansory. The company later launched a limited service known as Lotus Exclusive, which it has now transformed into the new service Lotus Chapman Bespoke. The new service is named after Lotus founders Colin and Hazel Chapman, and offers a full range of personalization options. Working closely with Lotus’s design team, Lotus Chapman Bespoke will be able to…
With Saab recently announcing plans for a trio of new models including a new 9-6X crossover, images of a stillborn 9-6 concept vehicle from the earlier part of the last decade have now hit the web and reveal just how far GM’s badge-engineering plans for the Swedish automaker went. But don’t worry, the new 9-6X to be developed jointly with Chinese partner Zhejian Youngman Lotus Automobile will be styled along similar lines to the new 9-4X and isn’t expected to share any mechanicals with any model already sold in the U.S. The same can’t be said for this 9-6 concept…
In a persistent rain, the 2024 McLaren 750S bobbles coming out of a sharp right-hand turn on the road course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The Pirelli P Zero Corsas can’t find traction, and it takes a light touch on all the controls to keep this updated supercar pointed in the right direction. On the next straight, I go for more gas, but the car’s 740 hp hits hard and even 50% throttle breaks the rear wheels loose in fourth gear. This drive program was meant to show the expanded envelope of performance the 750S has over its 720S successor,…
The Renault 5 isn’t the only iconic nameplate Renault plans to revive for the electric era. A modern Renault 4 is also in the works, and a prototype has been spotted again, and this time it was caught on video by Car Spy Media. The original 4, also known as the 4L, was produced for more than 30 years, finally ending in 1994. Available in a variety of body styles, though primarily a four-door hatchback, the 4 is a significant vehicle in Renault’s history, just like the 5, so it’s no surprise the automaker is resurrecting the nameplate. The modern…
The latest generation Mustang brings a new nameplate to the stable. The most powerful, track-focused, and street-legal pony car to wear the iconic badge is now the Ford Mustang Dark Horse. It picks up where the Mustang Mach 1 left off. That car picked up the torch from the Performance Package Level 2 version, which was a finalist for Motor Authority Best Car To Buy 2019. Will the new generation push the Dark Horse over the top? The Mustang lineup isn’t really new, but it’s heavily revised enough to warrant an internal platform code change from S550 to S650. Ford…
CNN — About 1 in every 10 people in the US who uses Adderall or similar combination drugs to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been affected by an ongoing shortage, a new analysis suggests. The US Food and Drug Administration announced that Adderall was in shortage in mid-October 2022, and the share of people with ADHD who filled their prescriptions for Adderall and related medications plunged in the following months.
