Dutch automaker Savage Rivale impresses with its Roadyacht GTS supercar

The Dutch aren’t exactly known for their automotive prowess, but it looks like Netherlands-based supercar startup Savage Rivale is looking to change all of that. The small boutique automaker has introduced its latest creation, the Roadyacht GTS, and while we have always been told not to judge a book by its cover, we can’t help think that the Rodyacht GTS will be an exceptional “read” by looking simply at its sleek and elegant design.

But apart from the sharp and sleek profile the Roadyacht GTS is sporting, the Dutch supercar packs some pretty impressive specs under the carbon hood as well. The hand-made supercar features a 670-hosepower V8 engine, maxes out at an impressive 205 mph and can go 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Not too shabby for a four-door convertible.

The body of the Roadyacht GTS is made of a chrome molybdeme chassis and carbon body panels, while the four-doors feature a unique suicide wing design. The interior of the Roadyacht GTS features all the luxury you would expect from a high-end sportscar like a touchscreen controlled dashboard and leather interior, while also sporting some more unique options such as a custom watch with built-in keyless entry, and a champagne cooler –perfect for those sun-filled trips around the French Riviera.

Tesla’s fix for faulty Cybertruck pedal is simpler than you might think
Tesla Cybertruck

Less than five months after handing over the first Cybertrucks to customers, Tesla has had to recall the electric pickup to fix an issue with the accelerator.

In a notice issued on Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the recall impacts Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from November 13, 2023, to April 4, 2024. This suggests that all -- or almost all -- of the 3,878 Cybertrucks being recalled are those that have been manufactured to date.

Ford Mustang Mach-E 2024 vs. Mach-E 2023: What’s new in Ford’s electric Mustang?
Blue Ford Mustang Mach-E on a rooftop

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is easily one of the best EVs for the price, offering a solid range, sleek design, and pretty good tech on the inside. In recent years, it has gotten even cheaper -- thanks in large part to a price war between it and the Tesla Model 3. And, the company just took the wraps off of the latest and greatest version of the Mach-E, labeled as the 2024 model.

The 2024 Mustang Mach-E is notably different from the 2023 iteration in some meaningful ways. So much so that we decided to take a look at the two head-to-head -- to see if it was better to pay for the 2024 model or save some cash on any remaining 2023 stock.
Design
The Mustang Mach-E looks relatively unique -- in a good way. And thankfully, Ford has largely kept the overall design the same for the 2024 model, at least when it comes to the more consumer-focused models. The car retains the slatted taillights and crossover size. It also offers a large selection of colors, including the very blue Grabber Blue Metallic, as well as Rapid Red Metallic. It's a good selection of colors, and there should be an option for most buyers.

Tesla to begin production on new, more affordable models
Tesla Model 3

With competition increasing from Chinese and other automakers, Tesla boss Elon Musk revealed on Tuesday that his company is planning to begin production of new, more affordable models in “early 2025, if not late this year.” Notably, that's earlier than the previously stated date of late 2025, though whether Musk actually succeeds in meeting the earlier production time frame is another question entirely.

The news came as Tesla released its latest quarterly figures. Revenue for the electric vehicle maker came in at $21.3 billion, down from the $23.3 billion it reported for the same three-month period a year earlier and also down from the $25.2 billion reported in the previous quarter. Profit reached $1.1 billion, marking a 55% fall compared to the same period a year ago.
