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.

Hyundai Ioniq 9: price, release date, range, and more
Hyundai Ioniq 9 Front

Hyundai has been at the forefront of EV development for a while now, largely thanks to the success of the crossover-sized Hyundai Ioniq 5. But the company is readying another new EV that could be even more popular than the Ioniq 5 -- or at least more desirable in the U.S., the land of big cars.

The upcoming Ioniq 9, previously set to be called the Ioniq 7, will be Hyundai's take on an electric SUV. It will be to Hyundai what the Kia EV9 is to Kia. It will have three rows and carry over design elements from the Ioniq 5.

Audi Q6 e-tron ushers in the automaker’s next EV phase
2025 Audi Q6 e-tron front three quarter view.

Audi doesn’t get enough credit for getting luxury car buyers comfortable with EVs. While Tesla took care of the image-conscious types, the German brand unveiled its e-tron electric SUV in 2018 with the tagline “electric has gone Audi” in hopes of getting loyal customers excited about (or, at least, acclimated to) electric cars by pitching the e-tron as an Audi first and an EV second.

The e-tron wasn’t a one-off, either. It’s since evolved into the Q8 e-tron and has been joined by the sporty e-tron GT and entry-level Q4 e-tron. So, while some car brands are only just introducing their first electric models, Audi is ready for round two.
