Pictures: Introducing Poland’s first supercar, the Arrinera

By Amir Iliaifar September 23, 2011

No one wold fault you for thinking, at first glance, that the Arrinera high-powered supercar was in fact a Lamborghini. It certainly borrows heavily from the famed Italian automakers, but as the old maxim states; imitation is the highest form of flattery, so you really can’t fault our Polish friends for their eye-catching efforts.

The first thing you notice about the Arrinera is its distinctly sleek exterior; with its squared off intakes scissor doors and intricate rear lights. The car itself is comprised of Kevlar and carbon fiber which sits on top of a tubular steel frame, keeping it light and nimble without interfering with the 638 horsepower and 6.2-liter supercharged V8 Engine.

At this time there is no word on cost or production, but here is hoping this one makes it out onto the road.

Mercedes-Benz G580 vs GMC Hummer EV: rugged EVs face off

2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

There's finally an electric G-Wagon. Mercedes-Benz unveiled the new vehicle, officially called the Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology, after months of rumors and camouflaged sightings. But it's not the only rugged electric vehicle out there. In fact, there are quite a few EVs that could be considered rugged -- like the Rivian R1S, the Rivian R2, and, of course, the Hummer EV.

But how do the Mercedes-Benz G580 and GMC Hummer EV compare? Is one a better rugged electric vehicle than the other? Here's a look at the two vehicles, head to head.
Design
If you love the look of recent-generation G-Wagons, you'll love the look of the new G580. To be sure, it isn't exactly the same as other recent models, but it's certainly close, with a squared-off design and sharp corners. It keeps the metallic ladder frame panels and the flat roofline, and it's available in a variety of colors.

The Kia EV3 could be the cheap electric SUV we’ve been waiting for

White Kia EV3

The Kia EV9 was already one of the cheapest ways to get an electric SUV, but now the company is taking things to the next level. After teasing the Kia EV3 last year, the car is now official.

The EV3 is built to be a slightly smaller, cheaper version of the EV9 -- following the path of the Rivian R2, which arrived after the Rivian R1S. It's certainly not as technologically advanced as the EV9, but it still looks unmistakably like a modern Kia, and is clearly a sibling of the larger SUV. On the outside, the vehicle has the same split taillights and very similar Tiger Face front. But it is quite a bit smaller. The vehicle will be available in nine finishes -- however only "Aventurine Green" and "Terracotta" are being announced right now.

Kia EV3: release date, performance, range, and more

White Kia EV3

Kia is on a roll. Hot on the heels of the success of the Kia EV6 and EV9, the company is already announcing what could be its cheapest electric vehicle yet -- the Kia EV3.

The Kia EV line seems to follow the rule of lower numbers indicating a lower price — and if so, the EV3 will end up being the cheapest electric car Kia has released to date. That, however, thankfully doesn’t mean that the EV3 will be a low-end car — it just means that Kia may be pushing the boundaries on electric car pricing.
