Overview The 2026 Nautilus Hybrid is a showcase for Lincoln's luxury-car ethos. Its quiet cabin and laid-back road manners are designed to relax rather than excite. Although a nonhybrid model is also offered (we review it separately), we think the 310-hp hybrid setup better matches the Nautilus's overall demeanor. Performance is adequate, but more importantly for the Nautilus's mission, the … [Read more...]

Overview The Roma is Ferrari at peak elegance, its silhouette a brushstroke capable of melting hearts. Underneath that sinewy bodywork resides a 612-hp twin-turbo V-8 that emits a mellifluous exhaust note that begs to be coached to the V-8's 7500-rpm redline. A rear-mounted eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission sends its output to the rear wheels. Despite the Roma's classic style, a … [Read more...]

Overview Like most hypercars, the Lotus Evija—pronounced eh-VIE'-ya—is a rare sight. Unlike most hypercars, the Evija has four electric motors that make nearly 2000 horsepower (1972 to be exact). That powertrain alone makes it the wildest Lotus ever built. When it was first revealed back in 2019, the company said it will only build 130 of them, and all of those have been scooped up by people who … [Read more...]

Despite packing a sizeable lithium-ion battery and a quartet of electric motors good for a claimed 1972 horsepower, the Evija weighs in just over 3,700 pounds, according to Lotus. That makes it a relative … [Read more...]

Minor tweaks to … [Read more...]

Slate, a new automotive startup, burst onto the scene last week with a tiny electric truck that the company claims will start "just under" $27,500.

To be a legitimate player in the full-size-SUV game, you need an off-road model, something the Nissan Armada had lacked until this year. Now, the automaker is giving its all-new body-on-frame Armada the Pro-4X treatment to contend with the full-size SUV segment's mudslinging rigs. But there's more to the 2025 Armada than just a single new trim, and the resulting changes make it a much better … [Read more...]
