Matt Farah has made a life for himself that should make most gearheads sick with envy. On his YouTube channel The Smoking Tire, Farah regularly reviews some of the world’s best cars, including recent posts taking the new 992-generation Porsche 911 Targa 4S out for a spin and blasting around the Angeles National Forest in a Ferrari F8 Spider . Now, Farah turns his attention to the all-electric Polestar 2 for a test drive in Malibu to see how this potential Tesla Model 3 competitor fares during some aggressive driving and from an overall value-meets-aesthetics standpo
After driving the prototype Miata, Jonny mentions just how much the EV still feels just like a regular automatic Miata. He mentions how it is just as agile and joyful to drive as the original, saying it’s just like driving an automatic NB without the terribleness of realizing you made the mistake of buying an automatic Mi
Once Polestar can ace range, which for the moment is just 292 miles , they will well and truly be on par with Tesla when it comes to the everyday driving experience. For the moment, it’s not a million miles away, but given how young the company is, expect that to be corrected in the years to c

This 1977 K5 Blazer has received a conversion to an entirely electric drivetrain, replacing its original 400ci V8, which produced an anemic 175 horsepower from the factory that was routed through a three-speed automatic. Now, under the hood lurks a Bolt EV motor, providing 200 ponies and 266 lb-ft of torque to a four-speed automatic. The transfer case, driveshaft, and axles remain in factory f
The NB Miata they used for the project started its life out weighing in at roughly 980kg (2,160lbs) and had a 115hp 1.6L DOHC inline-4. Doing away with that, the car now has a 120hp Hyper9 electric motor out of a Tesla and weighs in at 1,017kg (2,242lbs). Unlike this crazy 2jz swapped Miata , the EV Miata definitely doesn’t get much of a boost in power, but also doesn’t gain much in weight, meaning it still has all that old Miata ch
The Polestar 2 shares much of its design aesthetic with its higher-spec hybrid sibling, but at a price that’s at least somewhat closer to reasonable. The starting sticker price expected to begin around $61,000 before government incentive. That should place it in competition with higher-trim Tesla Models 3 and Y, which will share the Polestar 2’s setup of an electric motor powering each axle with 201 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque (for a combined output of 402 ponies and 487 lb-ft of twi
