History has a habit of repeating itself. Remember the oil crisis of the ‘70s? It caused massive volatility in the price of oil and caused makers of sports cars to either evolve or die. Today’s political and financial climate in the Middle East feels hauntingly familiar. And guess what, Porsche is in trouble again. Its EVs aren’t selling as well as they were expected to, profits are down 93 percent and the company is in the middle of a line-up rejigging, re-looking at internal combustion options.  Widening the net Porsche made four front-engine coupes; the 924, 944, 928, and 968 Back in the ‘70s, the oil crisis meant Porsche had to do something similar; make a sports car that appealed to a wider audience and larger customer base. The company had already done this twice, with varying degrees of success. The first was the 912, a flat-four-powered 911. The car was agile, fun, and more affordable. But it wasn’t a 911 and was only moderately successful. Then, in the early ‘70s, came the...

Accessories are a cool way to bring improvements to your car without spending much. Different accessories serve different functions, and while most people go for cosmetic accessories to enhance the visual appeal of their car, some accessories are a must-have that make a difference in day-to-day driving. Below is a compiled list of the car accessories that you must definitely have, whether you've just bought a new car or already own one. 1. Dashcam When it comes to driving on our roads, incidents are inevitable. In case you face a serious one, dashcams can be very useful to claim insurance. They record your entire drive the moment the engine turns on, providing crucial evidence. While most dashcams record what's in front of you, some even have a rear-view unit, useful in case you’re rear-ended, and an in-cabin camera for driver behaviour evidence. Most dashcams sold in the market come with features like full HD video recording, night vision, app support, and let you export foot...

Staying relevant in the 21st century is getting increasingly tough with social media making people’s attention spans shorter than ever. While there are multiple models that topped the sales charts during their heydays, sustaining sales numbers and remaining relevant is the bigger challenge with changing times. We have curated a list of two-wheeler nameplates that have stood the test of time and remained in continuous production for over 20 years. There are a few nameplates that were earlier discontinued but later made a comeback, such as the Chetak and Karizma, however those do not make the cut owing to their brief discontinuation. 2006 Launches from 2006 complete two decades this year and are the most recent entrants on this list. Bajaj Platina Despite being in production for over 20 years, the Bajaj Platina is the newest model on this list. It was launched in April 2006 at an introductory ex-showroom price of around Rs 35,000. Shortly after its launch, the hardy Platina crossed cum...

Ferrari has finally pulled the covers off its debut all-electric offering, the Luce. Touted as "unconventional" and "disruptive," the Luce is wholly dissimilar to the rest of Ferrari’s line-up, whether it be in terms of design ideology or what’s under the skin. Below, we’ve laid out all the key details you need to know about the Ferrari Luce . What are the exterior design highlights of the Ferrari Luce? Widely regarded the most controversial aspect of the Luce, its styling is unlike any Ferrari ever made, and that’s because the EV was designed by LoveFrom, a California-based firm co-founded by ex-Apple designer Jony Ive. The Luce’s bodywork echoes a two-piece structure, with a gloss black passenger cell ensconced within an all-aluminium, coloured shell. Up front, the Luce sports a recessed pass-through section that houses the LED headlamps and is generously lined with gloss black trim. Below that, there’s a wide opening with air curtains, and a subtle gloss black ...
