Bumblebee Bugatti garners quite the buzz in Qatar

As if the imposing moving machinery that makes up the Bugatti Veyron wasn’t already an impressive site to behold barreling down any roadway, the French marquee recently revealed yet another makeover of its widely successful Bugatti Veyron at the Qatar Motor Show.

The Bugatti Veyron Sport is the latest attempt by the French automaker to individualize even further the current holder of the “world’s faster convertible” crown, which we can’t help but chuckle at considering the Veyron Sport’s already astronomical 1.4 million euro starting price.

While we can’t fault the French automaker for wanting to offer yet another uniquely colored model of the Bugatti Veyron Sport — chances are, if you can afford the princely sum, you’re already among the top one percent, and more than likely the need to stand out among the common rabble has all but been eliminated.

Taking inspiration from the company’s founder, Ettore Bugatti (black and yellow was said to be his favorite color combination), the striking new color design found on the new Veyron Sport is comprised of a lacquered carbon fiber located on the car’s front and side skirting, and is matched with sleek all black wheels. The rest of the car has been decked out in a rich yellow paint with a similar interior of yellow-clad seats featuring intricate black stitching and the opposite for the dashboard, wheel, and gear shifter.

Of course Bugatti’s trademark is anything if not unabashedly extravagant. Still, with the release of the new black and yellow model, the ultra-luxurious automaker has once again provided an unprecedented example of both automotive excellence and world-class style.

Rivian R2 vs Hyundai Ioniq 5: Should you wait for the Rivian R2?
Rivian R2

Rivian has taken the wraps off of the Rivian R2, an electric SUV that's similar to the much-loved R1S, but smaller and, crucially, cheaper. But the R2 goes up against some serious competition. The likes of Hyundai have been building solid EVs for some time now -- including the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

The R2 and the Ioniq 5 each make a compelling case for themselves, and they're likely to end up being similarly priced if the Ioniq 5 doesn't get much cheaper and the R2 does end up being sold at $45,000. To be fair, the cars are pretty different -- the R2 is more of an SUV, while the Ioniq 5 is much more crossover-sized. But because of their similar price, you might be deciding between the two. How do they compare? We put the Rivian R2 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 head-to-head.
Design
The differences between the Rivian R2 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are perhaps no more apparent than when it comes to design.

The 6 best remote car starters in 2024
Best car remote starters

While some modern vehicles come standard with remote start features, it's still relatively uncommon. That's a shame because if you live somewhere where cold weather, snow, and ice are frequent concerns, a remote car starter is one of the best auto accessories you can have. If you're not familiar with them, a remote car starter works similarly to a key fob, except it will actually start your car from a distance instead of just unlocking the doors or trunk. That means you can start your car from the warm comfort of your home or office before venturing out. If you live somewhere hot, you can even start your car and let the AC run for a little bit. You'll never enter a freezing cold or scorching hot vehicle again.

The best remote car starters have long ranges, replaceable batteries, and other handy features — but how do you know which is best for you? We’ve compiled a list of the best car starters in a range of prices and features. Keep in mind that while you can install some yourself, some will require a professional.
