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.

Should you buy a used EV? Maybe, but it’s complicated

Electric cars are slowly but surely getting cheaper. Over the past year or so, Ford and Tesla have been discounting their most popular electric cars while other brands, like Rivian, are laying the groundwork for all-new cheaper models.

But you'd still be hard-pressed to call electric cars cheap, and buying a completely new car in the first place is a hurdle in and of itself for many potential buyers. According to Statista, used car sales represented around 74% of all car sales in 2022, and while this figure is likely to change as electric cars get cheaper, the fact remains that most car buyers would prefer to save cash and buy used rather than buy something new.
Buying a new car ain't what it used to be
Buying a car with an electric powertrain doesn't necessarily need to be all that different from buying an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. But there's a little more to it than that.

Rivian R2 vs. Ford Mustang Mach-E: Will the R2 be a better buy?

Side of the Rivian R2

The Rivian R2 has finally been announced, and it could end up being the go-to EV for drivers who want a decently affordable electric car with a rugged look and feel. But when it finally launches to the public, it won't be the only option in its price range -- the Ford Mustang Mach-E could be one of its main competitors.

The Mustang Mach-E may not be quite as rugged-feeling as the Rivian R2, but it does have a lot going for it -- like an increasingly low price, sleek design, and comfortable interior. Is one of these EVs better than the other? We put the two head-to-head to find out.
Design
The first thing to note about the two cars is their design, as they’re pretty different. The Rivian R2 is built to be a little more rugged and outdoorsy, while the Mach-E instead has a sleeker and sportier look to it. Both cars look stylish and modern.
