You can expect all this and more in the teaser trailer for the Super Trofeo, a new racing version of the just-released 2015 Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4.

Historically, Lamborghini hasn’t been too involved in racing, but the Italian marque has found success with the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo series, which allows amateur drivers to compete in identical cars on some of the world’s best tracks.

The current Super Trofeo car is based on the Gallardo, but with that model’s discontinuation, it’s time for a new one.

Enter the Huracán Super Trofeo. It’s essentially a racing version of Lambo’s new “entry-level” supercar, with a stripped-down interior, beefed-up suspension and aerodynamics and, most likely, some extra power coming from the mid-mounted 5.2-liter V10.

The Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo will be unveiled August 15 at The Quail motorsport event, one of several gearhead gatherings held in conjunction with the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Check back for more updates.

Your next ‘cheap’ new EV isn’t coming – unless you buy used

The global electric-car market is in a weird pricing flux. In Britain, Hyundai has opened orders for the Ioniq 3, a compact electric hatchback that starts at £22,245, or £18,495 after the country's £3,750 Electric Car Grant. The 61kWh version can travel up to 308 miles (WLTP range), while higher-end trims add features such as Matrix LED headlights and Hyundai's new Pleos Connect infotainment system, based on Android Automotive OS.

Cross the Atlantic, however, and that particular proposition disappears. Hyundai has no current plans to bring the Ioniq 3 to the U.S. Meanwhile, Cox Automotive put the average U.S. new-EV transaction price at $54,754 in August 2026. The gap is not simply about one car. It highlights a broader problem: while other markets are producing increasingly affordable electric cars, the U.S. still has remarkably few mainstream EVs around the 20,000-25,000 mark.

BMW’s new electric SUV coupe has 428 miles of range and offers impressively fast charging

BMW’s new iX4 can add 184 miles before your coffee gets cold

BMW iX4

BMW has officially revealed the iX4, and while the swooping coupe-SUV shape will probably get most of the attention, the numbers under the hood are what's really impressive. The BMW iX4 50 xDrive is rated for a preliminary maximum of 428 miles of EPA range, powered by a 112.2kWh usable battery and dual electric motors producing 463 horsepower.

The company claims it can sprint from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds. Just like the BMW iX5, the iX4 is a redesign of the brand's X4.

Leaving your dog in the car, even for a quick coffee run, always comes with a little worry. Is your pup okay? Rivian wants to put those worries to rest with its 2026.36 software update, which brings a new Pet Cam feature to the R2.

According to Rivian, over 60% of its owners bring their dogs along for the ride, so it's no surprise the company keeps adding pet-friendly features. Pet Mode already keeps the cabin cool and comfortable. Now, Pet Cam lets you actually see how your pet is doing.
