If you’re like me, you love the McLaren 650S and have been dreaming of waking up with one in your driveway. Unfortunately, though, this was not the case today … and probably won’t be the case anytime soon.

Delightfully for us, McLaren released an app for my fellow dreamers and me that allows users to design his or her own version of the 650S.

McLaren’s newly launched app, the McLaren 650S Design Studio, allows users to select paint, wheel, and exterior carbon fiber options. After users have gone through every paint from British Racing Green to Grape Purple, they can choose whatever background location they can think of to place the car. While we motoring enthusiasts dreams of owning a supercar, I reckon the last thought we have is what our dream supercar will look like sitting in a driveway in suburbia.

App users will also be able to adjust lighting and reflection options, so they can be totally sure the McLaren they dream about looks good at every part of the day.

Images of dream McLarens can be uploaded to social media via McLaren’s Facebook or Twitter pages using the hashtag #MyMclaren. Images that McLaren finds as its cup-of-tea will be uploaded on the official McLaren website for all to enjoy. The tablet app will be available for both iOS and Android operating systems today.

I don’t know about you, but I now know what I’ll be doing the rest of the day.

Don’t let the gimmicks fool you. The Ioniq 5 N is a serious track car

We’re finally getting to the fun part of automakers’ methodical quest to replicate their lineups with electric cars.

Performance versions of ordinary cars have been a staple of the auto industry for decades. But while we’ve already seen some variants of EVs boasting more power and more impressive stats — think Tesla Model S Plaid or Lucid Air Sapphire — the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is the first to truly apply that format to an EV.

The Maserati GranCabrio Folgore is one of the best-looking EVs yet

Maserati is adopting electrified vehicles with open arms, and while that could potentially signal an identity crisis for the luxury Italian brand, that’s probably a good thing in the long run.

The company recently took the wraps off of the new Maserati GranCabrio Folgore, which is essentially a convertible version of its already released GranTurismo Folgore electric car. The new EV is its third go at electrified vehicles so far, and it flew us out to Rimini, Italy, to witness the big reveal in person.

EV warranties aren’t like those for non-electric cars. Here’s what you should know

EVs are on the rise. With awesome new models finally rolling out and charging networks rapidly expanding, it feels like we're at the tipping point of electric cars being as mainstream as non-electric vehicles. But with a whole new type of vehicle come new challenges. One challenge is adapting to charging times. Another is paying closer to attention to range. And another, as some drivers are finding out, has to do with electric car warranties.

Turns out, the warranty that comes with electric cars isn't necessarily quite the same as the one that you might get with your non-electric car. If you really think about it, that's probably not all that surprising -- after all, while they can look the same, electric cars have a completely different makeup under the hood compared to their gas-powered cousins. But understanding an EV warranty could be the difference between winding up having to pay thousands for a battery replacement, or getting one repaired on the house.
It's not all new
Before diving into things like battery warranties, it's worth doing a quick primer on car warranties in general. EVs and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles usually come with two different warranties -- at least when they're bought new. First, there's the basic warranty (also known as bumper-to-bumper warranty), which covers every part of a car except for basic maintenance, usually for up to three years or 36,000 miles.
