Whatever you think about the cars, the progress @VinFastIN has made in one year needs to be studied. Number 4 EV maker in India in such a short time, from a near-unknown brand. Props.

Our brief taste of the @VinFastIN VF6 on a smooth, straight test track in Vietnam wasn’t enough to paint a complete picture. Though early impressions were good, many questions remained, and now we get to answer many of them in our India review.

Is the @Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS a perfect mix of performance and everyday usability? We test it on Mumbai’s roads, which are infamous for being both pothole-ridden and jam-packed with traffic.

Supercar buyers have been sleeping on what is one of the nicest-to-drive (and best looking, in my opinion) options out there. The MC20 is dead. Long live the MCPura:

6 lakh rupees for a feature whose full capability may/may not be unlocked at a later stage is... interesting.

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies.
