Will Bollinger Motors Go the Way of DeLorean, Fisker, and Canoo?

2 days ago | hagerty.com | Steven Smith

You’d think that as long as I’ve been in this business, having witnessed countless broken hearts when an automotive start-up goes belly up, that I’d quit rooting for underdogs when logic and history suggest that failure is a natural outcome. For every Tesla success story, for every Rivian and Lucid that are still at least in business, there’s a raft of Bricklins and Deloreans, Fiskers and Faraday Futures, Nikolas and Canoos and Qvales.
Excess in All Areas: Meet the Mansory Pugnator Tricolore

2 days ago | hagerty.com | Nik Berg

Credit where credit’s due. Nobody does automotive excess quite like Mansory. If it’s a four-door convertible AMG G-Wagen, a carbon-clad Cybertruck, or cosmetically-enhanced Cullinan you desire, then the German tuner will be only too happy to oblige. Mansory has form with Maranello as well, making body kits for the Roma, 296 GTB, SF90 and even limited editions such as the Monza, but when it comes to a Ferrari festooned with forged carbon accoutrements nothing can beat the new Pugnator Tricolore.
Coastal Package Adds Even More Retro '70s Vibes to the Bronco

3 days ago | hagerty.com | Brandan Gillogly

Ford is embracing the sand-slinging roots of the Bronco with a new Coastal package that adds off-road performance and classic looks. Available from the Ford Custom Garage, the Ford Bronco Coastal package includes a black Bimini top with a silver Bucking Bronco graphic, a two-inch suspension lift kit to fit 33-inch tires, as well as a grille, 17-inch wheels, and wheel arches, each painted in matching silver.
Fiat 500 Goes Back to Gas with new Torino

3 days ago | hagerty.com | Nik Berg

Fiat is retro-modding the 500 by replacing its all-electric powertrain with an internal combustion engine and a manual gearbox. The move follows slow sales of the 500e and the end of production of the previous 500, which finally bit the dust after almost 18 years. The current 500 was designed as an EV from the outset, so installing an ICE-based drivetrain was never in the plan, yet the Stellantis-owned Italian carmaker has managed to do it.
The Greatest Engine That Never Won the Indianapolis 500

4 days ago | hagerty.com | Kyle Smith

Plenty of people ascribe plenty of virtues and ideals to the word “motorsport,” but really it boils down to competitive activities powered by engines. Motors make the sport. And the many unique powerplants of racing all come with their own, often wild, origin stories. Case in point is the Novi V-8 and its fascinating but perpetually unsuccessful 20-year quest to put a driver on the top step of the Indianapolis 500 podium.
Mitsubishi On My Mind: Is Its Small Presence in the U.S. About to Get Even Smaller?

4 days ago | hagerty.com | Steven Smith

Nestled in among a host of questions that occurred when the automobile import tariffs were announced was this: What’s Mitsubishi going to do? Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru and Mazda build vehicles in America (although with Mazda, it’s vehicle, singular: the CX-50). Mitsubishi is the only mass-market Japanese auto manufacturer with no U.S. manufacturing facility.
This Million-Dollar AirCar will Take Off in 2026

4 days ago | hagerty.com | Nik Berg

The idea of a flying car is almost as old as the automobile itself, and has remained a promise unfulfilled, but next year one really does look likely to soar above American skies. It’s called the Klein Vision AirCar and hails from Slovakia where its inventor Stefan Klein says he was inspired by the science fiction stories of Jules Verne. Klein is a fourth-generation flyer whose family first reached for the sky in 1924, and he has been working on various iterations of the AirCar since 2001.
Piston Slap: The Pandora's Box of Vehicle Cowl Heights

5 days ago | hagerty.com | Sajeev Mehta

Larry writes: Over the last many years, I have noticed the size of tires on cars the public is offered just keeps increasing. When I was a teen, the most common [wheel and] tire size was 14” with some 13” and 15” tires. Now it seems like it most tires are in the 18” – 21” tires. Aside from giving the driver a higher elevation, I keep wondering if there is an advantage to this size increase. These tires are expensive, and I don’t see that they last any longer, especially on electric cars.
Integra Type R–powered S1 Lotus Elise Is a Driver's Dream for $45,675 - Hagerty Media

6 days ago | hagerty.com | Andrew Newton

Lotus sold the Series 2 Elise in the U.S. from 2005 to 2011. There was nothing quite like it on the road in the mid-2000s, and there definitely isn’t anything quite like it on the road in the mid-2020s. Here was a raw, razor-sharp, light weight, analog driving machine with race-car looks and proportions but also a reliable Japanese powertrain, a radio and air conditioning (both sucked, but were nice to have), and a temptingly low sub-$40K MSRP.
Want to Preserve Cars and the Hobby? Embrace Modifications

1 week ago | hagerty.com | Andrew Newton

In the car world, we hear the word “preservation” quite a bit. For many, it means an uncompromising reverence for all-original classic automobiles that are just as they were when they were new, or close to it, despite the passage of time. Preservation has become a fundamental component of today’s car world, with special attention given to those cars that embody the term.
