Pictures: Introducing Poland’s first supercar, the Arrinera

By Amir Iliaifar September 23, 2011

No one wold fault you for thinking, at first glance, that the Arrinera high-powered supercar was in fact a Lamborghini. It certainly borrows heavily from the famed Italian automakers, but as the old maxim states; imitation is the highest form of flattery, so you really can’t fault our Polish friends for their eye-catching efforts.

The first thing you notice about the Arrinera is its distinctly sleek exterior; with its squared off intakes scissor doors and intricate rear lights. The car itself is comprised of Kevlar and carbon fiber which sits on top of a tubular steel frame, keeping it light and nimble without interfering with the 638 horsepower and 6.2-liter supercharged V8 Engine.

At this time there is no word on cost or production, but here is hoping this one makes it out onto the road.

Rivian R2 vs. Kia EV9: battle of affordable electric SUVs

Kia EV9 GT-Line Three Quarters

The long-awaited Rivian R2 has finally been announced, and it's an excellent option for those who want an electric SUV that doesn't completely break the bank. Sure, the R2 isn't cheap -- but it's a whole lot cheaper than most other EVs out there, especially when it comes to SUVs. But Rivian isn't the only company trying to tackle the problem of the budget electric SUV. The Kia EV9 is finally available, and it too offers a modern design and a range of helpful features.

Given the fact that the Rivian R2 and Kia EV9 are two electric SUVs in a similar price range, you might be wondering which is better for your needs. That's why we put the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 head-to-head.
Design
Both the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 are actual SUVs -- not crossovers pretending to be SUVs, like plenty of other EVs out there. The two vehicles offer big, boxy designs and plenty of interior space, making them excellent options for families or those who need that extra storage.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?

The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
