Is Lamborghini preparing to unleash a four-seater in Paris?

Lamborghini has announced it will introduce a new concept car at the Paris Motor Show that will open its doors to the press in less than two weeks.

The company is keeping its lips sealed until the show car is formally unveiled, but it has published a dark, enigmatic teaser image that shows the silhouette of a sports car with a rakish windshield, a spacious cabin and pronounced haunches. The sketch is accompanied by the phrase, “once perfection is achieved, you can just double it.”

The teaser shot appears to suggest that Lamborghini’s next concept will offer seating for up to four passengers. It could be based on an existing model like the Huracán or the Aventador, or it could be a new model altogether. What is certain is that the silhouette depicted in the teaser image does not match that of the four-door Estoque concept that Lamborghini presented at the 2008 edition of the Paris show. Plans for a full-size sedan aimed at the Aston Martin Rapide have not been resurrected.

Although pure speculation, the most likely scenario is that Lamborghini’s mysterious concept will preview a 2+2 coupe, a setup the company phased out when it axed the Jarama in the mid-1970s. Introducing a four-seater model would allow Lamborghini to fight head-to-head against the Ferrari FF.

Full details about Lamborghini’s latest concept will emerge over the next couple of weeks.

Tesla’s fix for faulty Cybertruck pedal is simpler than you might think

Tesla Cybertruck

Less than five months after handing over the first Cybertrucks to customers, Tesla has had to recall the electric pickup to fix an issue with the accelerator.

In a notice issued on Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the recall impacts Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from November 13, 2023, to April 4, 2024. This suggests that all -- or almost all -- of the 3,878 Cybertrucks being recalled are those that have been manufactured to date.

Ford Mustang Mach-E 2024 vs. Mach-E 2023: What’s new in Ford’s electric Mustang?

Blue Ford Mustang Mach-E on a rooftop

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is easily one of the best EVs for the price, offering a solid range, sleek design, and pretty good tech on the inside. In recent years, it has gotten even cheaper -- thanks in large part to a price war between it and the Tesla Model 3. And, the company just took the wraps off of the latest and greatest version of the Mach-E, labeled as the 2024 model.

The 2024 Mustang Mach-E is notably different from the 2023 iteration in some meaningful ways. So much so that we decided to take a look at the two head-to-head -- to see if it was better to pay for the 2024 model or save some cash on any remaining 2023 stock.
Design
The Mustang Mach-E looks relatively unique -- in a good way. And thankfully, Ford has largely kept the overall design the same for the 2024 model, at least when it comes to the more consumer-focused models. The car retains the slatted taillights and crossover size. It also offers a large selection of colors, including the very blue Grabber Blue Metallic, as well as Rapid Red Metallic. It's a good selection of colors, and there should be an option for most buyers.

Tesla to begin production on new, more affordable models

Tesla Model 3

With competition increasing from Chinese and other automakers, Tesla boss Elon Musk revealed on Tuesday that his company is planning to begin production of new, more affordable models in “early 2025, if not late this year.” Notably, that's earlier than the previously stated date of late 2025, though whether Musk actually succeeds in meeting the earlier production time frame is another question entirely.

The news came as Tesla released its latest quarterly figures. Revenue for the electric vehicle maker came in at $21.3 billion, down from the $23.3 billion it reported for the same three-month period a year earlier and also down from the $25.2 billion reported in the previous quarter. Profit reached $1.1 billion, marking a 55% fall compared to the same period a year ago.
