Last month we had reported that Spania GTA might unveil a Spano R model at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show. While we were right about the new model, we got the name wrong, The model Spania GTA has revealed this week is the Spano GTA. The Spano R is reportedly still in the works. If we’re perfectly honest, having a Spano GTA from Spania GTA is a bit confusing and, well, lazy.

What isn’t lazy, however, is the car itself. Powered by an 8.4-liter twin turbocharged V10 engine producing 900 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. Mated to the powerful V10 is an automatic sequential seven-speed transmission with paddle shift or manual sequential shift modes. Constructed from carbon fiber and Kevlar, the Spano GTA will make a run from 0-62 miles-per-hour in 2.9 seconds. Before it runs out of straight away, the Spano GTA will hit a top speed of 217 mph.

Only 99 of the Spano GTAs will be built. And while the vehicle is undoubtedly striking, we wonder how easy it’ll be to find buyers for the virtually unheard of supercar. Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Koenigseggs sell fine but how well will the Spano sell? We’ll have to wait and see.

MotorAuthority is reporting the 1,200 horsepower, track inspired Spano R model is still in production. So check back for more info on that insanely powerful version later this year.

Mercedes-Benz G580 first drive: old-school off-roader goes electric

2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

American car buyers mostly know Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand. But for decades, the automaker has also produced the tough, rugged G-Class (also known as the Geländewagen or G-Wagen), an SUV not afraid to get its leather upholstery muddy. And now, this iconic Mercedes is going electric.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology — the final name of the SUV previously known as the EQG — isn’t the first electric off-roader. The Rivian R1S and R1T and GMC Hummer EV have proven that electric powertrains and off-roading are a great combination. But the electric G-Wagen is different because it’s based on an internal-combustion model — and a very traditional one at that.

Honda believes hydrogen semi trucks will make the case for fuel cells

Honda hydrogen fuel-cell semi truck.

Honda remains committed to hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, but the market for those vehicles remains limited. So Honda is looking at other uses for fuel cells -- including commercial trucks.

To show how that could work, Honda converted a semi truck to fuel-cell power, replacing its diesel engine with three fuel-cell modules. Together, the three modules produce a combined 321 horsepower, and can propel the truck to a top speed of 70 mph. There's enough onboard hydrogen storage capacity for a 400-mile range with a full load, Honda claims.

Mercedes-Benz G580 vs Rivian R2: Is the much cheaper Rivian actually better?

2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

Mercedes-Benz has finally taken the wraps off of the new "Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but it's basically a new electric G-Wagon. It looks a lot like the G-Wagon you know and love, but with an electric powertrain and a battery. It's not the only electric SUV out there, however, and there are some great ones -- like the Rivian R2.

Both the Mercedes G580 and the Rivian R2 have a lot going for them, but they also approach the electric SUV slightly differently. Is one better than the other? I put the two head-to-head to find out.

The approach that the two vehicles take to design is quite different -- and you might like one better than the other.
