The product is Pedra's DRS (Drag Reduce System) and, according to the post, is currently a prototype. An electronic noise, similar to that of SRAM mechanical shifting, is heard, leading one to assume someone is hitting a button to activate the system.

VTT's test does show ultra-fast charging capability. It does not, however, address many of the critical details that battery experts consider essential for validating solid-state battery technology, particularly regarding cycle life and performance at the pack level.

The electric crossover's battery can be preconditioned for fast charging when using Apple Maps on CarPlay, allowing drivers to stick to Apple's interface for the entire trip.

There's a key reason why many EVs are expensive. Economies of scale just haven't kicked in as they have for gas cars. Over 100-plus years of building dino-burners, we've gotten pretty good at every individual part. There are plenty of firms that can build fuel pumps, turbochargers, alternators, and radiators at scale, leveraging hundreds of thousand-unit volumes to drive per-unit costs down.

In the short term, expectations are brutally realistic, but this is still a team intent on making noise from day one. That intent will be made clear when Cadillac unveils the livery of its first F1 car during a Super Bowl commercial Sunday. Such a move is a statement and arrival aimed as much at mainstream America as at a paddock that, for years, questioned whether the brand belonged on the grid at all.

the automation of heavy machinery enabled plants to operate continuously, increasing productivity and revenue. The downside was that any small hiccup was acutely felt, cascading through the production line. At first, it was assumed that inadequate lubrication of factory equipment was causing parts to seize up or break apart. And so, the Lubrication and Wear Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, along with the Iron

In a more-natural habitat - the serpentine road course of Sonoma Raceway - this 1,250-horsepower hybrid advances its case as the fastest production car in American history, and among the speediest to ever roam this planet's surface.

When you ride an electric bike, the way the motor helps you pedal makes a big difference in how the ride feels. There are two main types of pedal-assist systems: cadence sensors and torque sensors. At first they sound technical, but the difference is actually simple-and very important for daily riding. These sensors control how and when the motor supports your pedaling.

Cascade Components has delivered what could be the best upgrade for the Amflow PL. For $257 USD, Amflow owners can now increase rear travel to 160mm and improve suspension performance, all without tweaking the geometry. With 10mm more rear wheel travel and a more supple rear end, the Amflow PL Link from Cascade Components could make one of the best e-mountain bikes on the market even better.

Rimpact's Chain Damper was launched in 2024, and since then, interest in drivetrain feedback mitigation seems to be gaining momentum. The fact that current World Cup DH ruler Jackson Goldstone uses a similar device on his bike has likely caused quite a spike in interest. On their part, Rimpact supported 15 World Cup DH Teams through last season, and they're expecting that number to grow this year.

The newly unveiled car is ultra-agile thanks to the weight reduction achieved by shaving off components like the skid-control, torque-vectoring, or automatic brake-assist. It doesn't even have power steering, and gives buyers the option to skip the air conditioning unit for weight reduction, making it the ideal fit for raw purists who want to feel every little change happening in the driving dynamics.

The American automotive landscape is changing after a period that saw tighter emissions rules push automakers toward more efficient, quieter powertrains and prompted shifts away from big V8 engines. But many of those regulations, including the federal EV incentives, have fallen away, leading automakers that once promised to discontinue the gas-hungry engines to reinvest in V8 offerings - especially in full-size trucks and performance cars.

Cadillac's response was to design specifically for that liminal space. The testing livery features what they call "the Cadillac precision geometric pattern" in gloss and matte sequences, turning functional camouflage into brand vocabulary. They're using the constraint of secrecy to communicate design philosophy, establishing that their approach blends automotive prototype discipline with motorsport theater. The giant Cadillac crest draped across the engine cover isn't trying to hide anything. It's declaring that the space between stealth and spectacle is itself worth designing for.

Germany's ADAC simulated a 361-mile winter highway run at ~0 C with identical conditions to evaluate real-world range and charging needs, showing all EVs fell short of their WLTP figures. The Audi A6 Avant E-tron Performance topped the group with strong efficiency and charging, regaining ~186 miles of range in a 20-minute fast charge. The Tesla Model Y showed the best consumption, but slower charging limited gains; other models varied widely in range and charging capability under winter stress. More than a dozen new electric

Lamborghini has always represented the extreme edge of automotive performance. Every model produced by the brand is designed around speed, stability and unmistakable visual identity. Nothing in a Lamborghini is accidental, and this applies equally to exterior aerodynamic components. One of the most important yet often misunderstood elements is the rear spoiler. A Lamborghini spoiler is not simply an aesthetic addition. It is a functional component that plays a measurable role in how the car behaves at speed.
