7 smart plug tricks that instantly made my home feel more automated

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Remember The Clapper? The plug-in staple may have made for a catchy jingle in the 1980s, but it could also be considered as a primitive ancestor of today’s smart plug — that is, if you can say anything from a few decades ago is primitive.… Continue reading 7 smart plug tricks that instantly made my home feel more automated

German FAZ: How Toyota wants to attack Porsche and Mercedes010397

When Akio Toyoda presents a new project, he likes to use big words. When Toyota Motor’s chairman introduced the new Century brand, he said at the opening of the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo this fall: “I want to build the brand so that it shares the soul of Japan and the pride of Japan… Continue reading German FAZ: How Toyota wants to attack Porsche and Mercedes010397

Mario Andretti on his favourite cars, circuits, races and rivals

America’s greatest racing driver? It’s subjective and depends entirely on your perspective. But what we can state for certain is, in terms of worldwide fame, stature, personality, longevity of career and relentless achievement, they don’t come much bigger than Mario Andretti. Just that name alone… he’s a sporting colossus. Andretti won in pretty much everything… Continue reading Mario Andretti on his favourite cars, circuits, races and rivals

Gucci car, anyone? Autocar’s ‘alternative’ predictions for 2026

The start of the year is traditionally a time to make predictions about what will happen in the coming months. But making predictions is hard, especially in an industry as unpredictable as the automotive sector. Still, we’re experts on the car world, so of course we can predict with unerring accuracy every key event that… Continue reading Gucci car, anyone? Autocar’s ‘alternative’ predictions for 2026

“It’s an 819bhp GR86…” Ferrari 12C rewrites the super-GT rulebook

The annual request from the editors: give us your ‘favourite’ car of the past 12 months. I dislike this task because choosing a favourite is too black-and-white an approach when the list includes everything from the madness of an S1 Elise with 300bhp to a purple Rolls Wraith, skulking through Clerkenwell at midnight, utterly in its film-noir element. A comparison framework just doesn’t exist. … Continue reading “It’s an 819bhp GR86…” Ferrari 12C rewrites the super-GT rulebook

Alpine supercar and ‘extreme’ special editions on the cards in bold brand building plan

Alpine dropped jaws across the automotive world when it pulled the covers off the stunning Alpenglow hypercar concept car at the 2022 Paris Motor Show. It then followed up the show car in 2024 with the fully operational, hydrogen-powered Alpenglow Hy4. At that point, you could be forgiven for expecting that a production Alpine supercar was just… Continue reading Alpine supercar and ‘extreme’ special editions on the cards in bold brand building plan

Aston calls it the Vanquish Volante, I call it… Utterly divine

When I wrote the review back in July, I nearly ran out of superlatives to describe Gaydon’s most powerful and expensive roadster. I don’t understand Ferrari’s current design language and McLaren supercars still have a whiff of IT department about them. Aston, meanwhile, just seems to be consistently knocking it out of the park. The latest… Continue reading Aston calls it the Vanquish Volante, I call it… Utterly divine

JBL Bar 500MK2 Review: A Fantastic Soundbar System

The subwoofer is no joke, at about 13 x 16 inches and 18 pounds, but it’s not something you’ll need to move once you get it set up, and it contributes massively (pun intended) to the depth and breadth of the Bar 500MK2’s sound. With a 10-inch driver, it’s more than enough to get to… Continue reading JBL Bar 500MK2 Review: A Fantastic Soundbar System
