So here we are in a time when slowly manual transmission cars are dying out and
customers and manufacturers are both shifting to automatic gearboxes. Is this a
world we want our children to grow up in? As a true car enthusiast will say,
manual cars are more engaging and who even drives an automatic car? And why the
torture? But traffic is increasing. Cars are being reprimanded of free spaces to
stretch their legs, every country doesn’t have an Autobahn and hence automatics
have started to make s

BOO!!! Rolls Royce has just recently come up with the second iteration of the
Ghost after a staggering 11 years and we all have been thunderstruck. It is no
coincidence that the company took 11 years to create something similar to the
original version, but the company spiced up the timeless look of the Ghost and
gave it a much more sublime character. Why create a new recipe from scratch when
you can amplify the intensity of flavors for a divine experience? The Ghost has
been the most successful

When we talk about electric cars, the first name that pops right up in our minds
is a Tesla. But when we talk about electric supercars, there aren’t many names
that pop right up in our minds. Rimac Automobili has changed this for us in
recent years. The first electric supercar accolade was well deserved by the
company when they launched the exclusive Concept One. The company was founded in

Today we are going to talk about Sin. Not the sin that you’ve committed, but
something more enticing and with four wheels, the Sin R1 550. All the Asphalt 9
fans, looks like you’re on the edge of your seats as the car can only be
obtained through the Legend Store. But coming back to reality, not many people

car as Ford has. The brand is not even Italian to fixate everyone’s attention
