The Xiaomi Vision GT is a visually stunning electric hypercar concept that was officially unveiled at the 2026 MWC in Barcelona. You may be familiar with Xiaomi from their phones and kitchen appliances, but this is a bit more unique in that it was designed by a company not known for producing high-performance vehicles, but it is now competing with brands such as Ferrari and Porsche, thanks to its inclusion in the Gran Turismo racing game series.
Donut Lab, a Finnish company, recently released some impressive test data demonstrating how their solid-state battery handles extreme temperatures that conventional lithium-ion cells would struggle to deal with. The test results come from a series of measurements conducted by the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, a respected, government-backed research organization. They needed to figure out precisely how high the heat could reach before this Donut Lab cell, rated at 3.6 volts and 26 amp-hours, blew up in smoke (or some other way), so they decided to put it through its paces.
Richard Hammond slid into the driver’s seat of BYD’s Yangwang U9 Xtreme with a good mix of caution and exhilaration. With a top speed of 308 miles per hour, this Chinese hypercar had already broken the manufacturing speed record. Its four electric motors together produced an astounding nearly 3,000 horsepower. He was well-versed in the specification sheet, which included a 1,200-volt battery system, torque vectoring, adaptive suspension capable of lifting the vehicle over obstacles, and much more.
A unique BMX frame tests the limits of an electric bike’s capabilities. Sam Barker and Tom Stanton, two friends who enjoy tackling weekend projects, transformed a standard BMX frame into a speed machine.

DM Performance took a close look at the Renault Twizy and simply had to get their hands on it. They thought the conventional 17 HP electric motor was severely inadequate.

Tesla has made considerable progress toward fully autonomous vehicles, and its staff at Gigafactory Texas are clearly excited. Just the other day, they gathered around the first Cybercab to roll off the assembly line, a streamlined two-seater with no visible steering wheel or pedals, and Tesla even shared the moment on social media, complete with a congratulatory message from Elon Musk himself on the team’s excellent work.
Lots of people cruise past brand new GMC Hummer EVs every single day without even giving it a second glance. This massive electric pickup fits in with traffic; its boxy design and silent functioning barely raise an eyebrow on the street.
