If you like to drive fast, this is the car for you. Ariel has packed 300 bhp into it’s 1,400 lb. Atom 3. This beast can launch you to 60 miles an hour in under three seconds, and get you over 100 miles per hour in 11 seconds. It’s a simple question of weight ratios, and the Atom 3 has a higher power-to-weight ratio than many supercars, making it a real steal at a starting price of $65,000. This is not the type of car that you can fully appreciate in the city, or even on the highway – but take it to your local track, let loose, and have the ride of your life. If the Ariel Atom 3 just doesn’t do it for you, you might want to ask his big brother, the Atom 500 V8 (pricing has not been disclosed) to come out and play. The Atom 500, you guessed it, packs a whopping 500 bhp into a 500 Kilogram package, which Ariel boasts as the highest power to weight ratio ever put into a production car.

BYD’s $12,000 Qin Plus DM-i shows how much US buyers are overpaying for their cars

A cheap commuter car that could take you from New York to Miami without refueling? Yes, please.

BYD has launched the third-generation Qin Plus DM-i in China, and the first thing that caught my eye is its price. According to CarNewsChina, the plug-in hybrid sedan starts at 79,900 yuan, which is about $11,980. That’s an incredibly low price for a brand-new car, especially by US standards.

What’s even more impressive is the range. The Qin Plus DM-i can drive up to 137 miles on electricity alone, which should cover most people’s daily commutes without using a drop of gas. Once the battery runs out, the 1.5-liter engine takes over. Thanks to its 17-gallon tank and roughly 91 mpg with a drained battery, the combined range reaches up to 1,423 miles.

Apple edges out a win in the PC market’s worst quarter by stumbling less than everyone else

Apple basically has a bigger share of a shrinking pie.

Apple won the PC market’s worst quarter, but that’s not the entire story. It won the race by stumbling less than everyone else.

PC makers shipped just 57 million computers worldwide in Q3, which might look good, but it’s a 21% year-over-year plunge (via Counterpoint Research). And despite Apple’s Mac shipments falling by 11%, to 5.6 million, its market share rose from 8.7% to 9.8%. How did that happen?

GM is giving OnStar AI smarts and a new way to monitor your parked car

GM's 2027 OnStar overhaul will introduce an AI assistant for natural-language vehicle controls and a new camera feature that records certain incidents around parked cars.

Update (October 22 23:54 PT): In response to our query, GM clarified that offline recording support is already available on eligible vehicles. Like Tesla's Sentry Mode, it requires owners to connect a USB drive to save incident recordings, which can be viewed on the vehicle's infotainment screen. The upcoming Connected Cameras feature will build on this by giving owners remote access to these recordings via the revamped OnStar app, allowing them to check footage without walking out to their car.

General Motors has announced plans to add a new Connected Cameras feature to its OnStar service starting next year, giving drivers a way to monitor parked vehicles remotely and capture footage of certain incidents.
