Does Lamborghini’s teaser for the Geneva Auto Show mean the reveal of an Aventador SV?

Discover the most Reactive Car - 2015 Geneva Motor Show
From the looks of all the teases and pre-show announcements, next week’s Geneva Auto Show looks like it’s going to be packed with some exciting gearhead goodies. Not being one to miss a chance to party, Lamborghini has chimed in with its own teaser video, promising to debut the most reactive car Lambo has ever produced.

If you’re wondering what “reactive” means here, you’re not alone. According to the many inquiries made to the company’s twitter feed, reactive means the car is “faster than the speed of thought.”

It’s an interesting choice of word since, when discussing its newest vehicle, the Gallardo-replacing Huracán, they referred to the network of gyroscopes, accelerometers and sensors guiding the car’s behavior in dynamic drive situations as “active, not reactive.”

Regardless, whatever is on the way should come with a large serving of insanity as throughout the blood-pumping visuals of the trailer is the sharp angular “S” that makes up half of the “SV” or Super Veloce logo. This badge usually indicates an extreme, track oriented variant of one of Lambo’s sports cars, like the Diablo SV and Murciélago SV.

We don’t think its too much of a stretch to theorize that an Aventador SV is in store for us for its unveiling on March 3rd. If so, this means we’re sure to be treated with one extremely crazy, track-tackling Lamborghini that will most likely have an increase in power over the 690 horsepower currently available from its 6.5-liter V12 engine.

Whatever it is, the mystery Lamborghini will be in good company as a few manufacturers will also be revealing a bevy of track-oriented sports cars. Throwing a bad bull into the mix just makes it all the more exciting.

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.
