The 911 GT3 for Porsche enthusiasts is the ultimate holy grail of flat-six naturally-aspirated motoring. And since the 992-generation 911 debuted at the 2018 Los Angeles Motor Show, the GT3 version was on the cards. It is here now, the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3, topping off the range with a stratospheric 9,000 rpm redline.
The entire motoring world is now in the process of making the tedious switch to alternative fuels. So is the United Kingdom, with their plans to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030. Jaguar Land Rover likes to prepare in advance thus they have now promised to make the Jaguar lineup completely electric by 2025, adding the current I-Pace EV’s success (at least in Europe, not in the Middle East).
The downsizing engine-size trend is rampant in the present automotive industry and AMG partook by junking the glorious 6.2-litre V8 for a stronger-but-odd-sounding twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 in its AMG 63 models. Now AMG is wrapping itself in quite a thick blanket of controversy as it plans to chuck out the V8 altogether in favour of an electrified four-cylinder engine. And this little mill will pop up first in the next-generation Mercedes-AMG C63, based on the new 2021-2022 C-Class due soon.
A few months ago, PSA and FCA merged to create Stellantis, a conglomerate that now controls a wide array of brands from both groups.

In these dynamic times, true blue off-roaders are dying out in numbers we don’t like. Many car makers stray away from these machines as they find more sense in making hatchbacks on stilts and calling them SUVs. Russian manufacturer Lada though, has different ideas. Here is their 2021 Lada Niva Travel, a plucky little off-roader for the new world.
Audi’s first step into the EV battlefield with the R8 e-tron was not that fruitful. They are on a stride to change this fate with the rebooted E-Tron lineup, starting with the decent E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback crossovers. Now they are adding a new body style to the lineup. The 2022 Audi E-Tron GT and sportier Audi RS E-Tron GT grows from their concept form into a reality.
Here is the list of global automotive recalls that were announced in the first month of the new year.
A few weeks ago, Nissan launched their smallest crossover, the Magnite, to compete in India’s fierce sub-four-meter “Compact SUV” category. The segment is so lucrative that the Renault-Nissan alliance is not happy with just one product. So here comes the twin to the Magnite, the 2021 Renault Kiger.
The BMW M5 has always been considered as the benchmark for high-end sports sedans. Back in June 2020, BMW updated the M5, and while it hasn’t made much of a splash (“Even more power? So what’s new”), but the more hardcore M5 CS is upping the ante, with even more performance and less bulk to lug around.
If your thirst for mad Lamborghinis is not quenched by their regular lineup and crazy special editions, Zyrus Engineering from Norway may be able to fix one for you. Zyrus Engineering LP1200 Strada is a twin-turbo Huracan road-going race car that has the madness dialed up to eleven.
