Gordon Murray is a beautiful, beautiful man who made a beautiful car
McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray built the ultimate $3 million, V12-powered, manual transmission supercar with the T.50. But if you thought it couldn't get better...it just did. Here's the track-only T.50S Niki Lauda, named after the F1 legend.
The track car has a tuned-up version of the 3.9-liter V12 engine with a 12,500 rpm redline putting out 725 horsepower. It's also about 200 pounds lighter than the road-legal version.
The next generation of mail delivery trucks will look...odd
The U.S. Postal Service has awarded Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Defense the contract for building new postal vehicles. Their Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV), seen here, should be on the road by 2023, looking rather...distinctive.
BMW plans to keep trolling you with its grilles
BMW has been doing big, weird things with its kidney grilles of late. Designers are justifying pressing on despite the criticism because of their desire to create a product that "stands out" and may not be for everyone. This definitely feels like BMW reaching the bargaining stage of the "we need to change our design" grief cycle.
Dodge Chargers are getting stolen like crazy in Detroit
The Dodge Charger is exceedingly popular on its home turf in Detroit, to the point one can't drive another fast car without hearing one rumble in response. (Either a Charger or Challenger was clocked at 180 mph during the pandemic.) It's also popular with Detroit thieves, apparently; more than 1,000 Chargers were stolen during the last year alone.
Harley-Davidson debuted its adventure touring bike

It seems Valhalla is actually located in Stuttgart
Aston Martin's Valhalla hypercar is coming in 2023, but there will be a significant change: instead of building their first in-house engine in more than 50 years, Aston Martin will use a powerplant from part-owner Mercedes. Not surprising, given the present financial climate Aston Martin finds itself in.
Yes, you do need your own personal bubble sub
At some point, you reach the wealth stage where owning a megayacht feels old hat. You don't have quite enough money to invest in your own private space firm. It's time to invest in Triton's new Titanic Explorer bubble sub which, as you would anticipate from the name, is capable of diving down to the Titanic.
Don't try and power your house with your Tesla
Ford F-150 Hybrid owners have been powering their homes in Texas. Superficially, it would seem like Teslas would be able to do the same, since the car has a giant battery. But unlike the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Teslas do not have V2L (vehicle to load) capability to send power back out. And even if you find a work-around, using the battery as a stationary power source will void your warranty.

The vintage resto-mod we're drooling over this week is...a Ford Escort?
The Ford Escort nameplate has a more storied history in Britain than in America, including some rallying glory in the 1970s. Motorsport Tools in Britain is building new, rally-spec versions of the Mk2. Jonny Smith's The Late Brake Show got an exclusive first drive.
Justin Bieber did a thing with a Rolls Royce
Justin Bieber caused a hubbub a couple of years ago for telling a Nickelodeon star to burn her custom-wrapped BMW on Instagram. It turns out that he commissioned the same company, West Coast Customs, to build him a one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce. And, well...we're sure the Biebs will appreciate the irony when we say kill it with fire.
