The Batman will premiere in the United States on March 4 and to celebrate the new movie, a number of special events are being held to preview it and show off the new Batmobile. It is understood that four examples of the new Batmobile were used during filming of The Batman . In the clips you’ll find below, one of these cars was displayed at a Batman event in London, another was showcased at a mall in Miami, and a third was displayed outside a hotel in Paris. Watch Also: Get A Load Of The Batman’s New Batmobile In Latest Trailer The new Batmobile has intrigued fans ever since the first images of it surfaced online from filming. Unlike past Batmobiles, this new one is relatively subtle and looks more like a classic American muscle car that we would expect to see Dominic Toretto driving in Fast and the Furious. It is understood that classic 1950s and 1960s muscle cars inspired the design of the new Batmobile and apparently, the car that was displayed in London was used for much o...

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine does not seem to be going as well as President Vladimir Putin planned. For one, Ukraine’s citizens have turned out to be much more resilient than Putin could have hoped. But more surprising is the apparent lack of preparedness in the Russian troops. This video being widely shared on social media shows a Russian tank stranded at the side of the road having run out of fuel. Its crew can do nothing but wait for fresh diesel to arrive. But the craziest thing about the clip is the exchange that follows between the Ukrainian civilian capturing the footage of the stricken tank and the Russian soldiers piloting it. The Ukrainian driver bravely pulls alongside the tank , rolls down his window and asks “Are you guys broken? Broken down?”, to which the Russian soldiers reply that they are out of fuel.

While the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron are among the most famous cars to feature ‘W’ engines, the Volkswagen Group did design a supercar with a ‘W’ engine well before the Veyron. The car in question was dubbed the Volkswagen W12 Concept Coupe that debuted at the Tokyo International Motor Show in 1997. It did not hit the production line but it did manage to break a number of world speed records during testing.

The subsequent engine pumped out 414 hp, all of which was sent through a six-speed sequential transmission and a Syncro all-wheel-drive system. Over the following three years, VW developed the W12 Concept Coupe and eventually ditched the all-wheel-drive system, replacing it with a rear-wheel-drive set-up. The engine was also e...

In a quest for a fully electrified range by 2023, Nissan has unveiled the Juke Hybrid, a new variant of the popular subcompact SUV that will go on sale in Europe starting this summer. The second-generation Juke , originally introduced in 2018, benefits from the electrified powertrain developed by Nissan and Renault that is already used in the E-Tech variants of the Renault Clio and Captur . This consists of a naturally-aspirated 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol engine producing 93 hp (69 kW / 94 PS) and 148 Nm of torque, an electric motor producing 48 hp (36 kW / 49 hp) and 205 Nm (151.2 lb-ft), a second electric motor working as an HSG (High-Voltage Starter Generator), a 1.2 kWh water-cooled battery, and a sophisticated multi-mode gearbox sending power to the front axle.

The all-electric EV6 is the first car ever made by Kia to win the European Car of the Year award, the organization announced today. It beat out six other competitors shortlisted for the award this year. The EV6 is only the third all-electric vehicle to ever win the ECOTY award and did so with 279 points. The closest competition for the award this year, however, was all-electric. The runner-up was the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric with 265 points and it was followed closely by the Hyundai Ioniq 5 , which finished with 261 points.

Audi will soon give both the e-tron and the e-tron Sportback a mid-cycle refresh and, although the visual updates will be minor, the new SUV may feature some important improvements. Seen here sporting less camouflage than we’ve seen on the test vehicle, the vehicle’s most major visual updates are still hidden behind a partial wrap covering the front and rear bumpers. If previous photos from our spy photographers are anything to go on, a new honeycomb grille will grace the front of this vehicle. Otherwise, updates are difficult to glean for certain and appear to be minor in nature but the side skirts do appear to have been reworked slightly on this example with grey cladding.

Almost every used car has seen its value rise to some degree over the last two years. That also applies to vehicles in the supercar category like this gold and beige Bugatti Veyron . Priced at more than $1.5 million, we’re not so sure that it’s the 16-cylinder rocket to drop your hard-earned cash on. Don’t get us wrong; we love that 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged V16 and all of the speed and excess that comes with it. And this particular car seems to come with a lot of the original equipment and has enough mileage that one could drive it without hugely devaluing it. No, there are some other concerns that we would have if it were our money. First and foremost, the fact that this Veyron looks like it stole its paint colors from a mid-2000s Toyota Camry isn’t the best thing. When most of us close our eyes and visualize a Bugatti Veyron it’s not likely that this paint combo pops up into our minds. Nevertheless, the seller says that this is a totally one-off paint color combination so per...
