The second-generation Tesla Roadster, which is supposed to hit the market by 2020, is still nowhere to be seen. It’s nearly the end of 2021, and Tesla apparently has removed pricing information on its website, along with stopping reservations for the Founders Series.

Everyone has that one car that means the world to them. Be that it is the first car you drove, the first car you bought with your own money, or the car you always dreamed of owning despite not having the money - there is always one that has a special place in your heart. But what if that car is even more special: what if that car was the car you bought for your wife a long time ago on that special Christmas? And what if life was hard on you and took your wife away from you?

One of the first open-top MC20 prototypes has left the gates of Maserati’s old Modena plant. They picked a different style for the car’s camouflage this time around with a blue cloud livery. I mean it is a convertible after all and this cloud theme probably signifies opening up to the blue skies.

Do you remember the Fordzilla P1 - a virtual race car developed by Ford in cooperation with the world of video games? It was first announced back in 2020 and then, at 2021 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ford actually came with a full-scale model of it.

Now, the car has been once again displayed, this time at the Gamergy 21 event in Madrid, Spain with impressive new streaming capabilities. In another words, it was transformed into the ultimate racing simulator.

When Ferrari unveiled the Portofino M we thought that its work with the Portofino was done. However, Youtube user Varryx just proved us wrong: it caught a camouflaged Portofino prototype testing on the Modena streets.

At the time of writing this article, 2021 is almost over and we are all thinking about awesome gifts, whether it’s for ourselves or for our close ones. With this in mind, a strange vehicle has recently come up for sale on eBay – a 2004 Ford Avanti.

The Audi R8 has been a staple when one talks about performance cars. The car comes with a naturally aspirated V-10 that makes us go weak in the knees even today. We are even more emotionally invested in it now because the R8 is about to be electrified and the V-10 engine will be buried forever. The same engine powers the Lamborghini Huracan as well, but the marque is working on developing a twin-turbo V-8 successor for it. But, until the final adieu, Audi will try to milk the machine as much as possible, and the latest updates to it are a testament to that.

The Lotus Emira is billed as the brand’s very last fuel-powered vehicle, marking the end of its gas-powered lineup forever. We knew this was the case early on as right around the time it was launched, the company also told us that the Elise, Exige, and Evora were officially being sent to the guillotine. It was a bittersweet revelation that we all knew was coming but really didn’t think it was going to happen so fast. Since then, and even more so after the launch of the Emira, we’ve all wondered what would happen next. Will there be a successor to any of Lotus’ legacy models? Is the brand’s once most important model – the Elise – really gone forever? Well, now we know that, at the very least, it might not be over for the Elise quite yet.

Mazda has just unveiled the 2022 MX-5 Miata in Japan, and while the upgrades for this year are quite comprehensive, none of them concern the sports car’s aesthetics.

The Novitec Group is one of the biggest tuners in the world, and depending on the model it is working on, it has a different name. For example, Novitec Rosso is working on Ferrari models, Novitec Tridente on Maserati, and Spofec with Rolls-Royce models. Spofec’s latest creation is named Overdose and it is based on the Dawn Black Badge. If the name sounds familiar it is because a similar Overdose package was also applied to the standard Dawn a few years back.

‘Sam CarLegion’ has come up with yet another interesting drag race, this time pitting a Ford Mustang GT against a tuned Volkswagen Jetta. The Jetta makes almost as much power as the Mustang, but is significantly lighter than it. However, it is a front-wheel-drive car as opposed to the rear-wheel-drive layout on the Mustang. With so many factors working for and against it, do you think the Jetta will be able to beat the Ford Mustang GT?

We love celebrating car birthdays and this year is the Lamborghini Jalpa’s 40th anniversary. The car that was once considered the entry-level Lamborghini has now become 40 years old, having been produced between 1981 and 1988. With only 410 units produced, it certainly is rare and prices have started to reflect that. Here’s a brief overview of the 1980s “Baby Lambo”.
