A brand new Roadster emerged from the trailer of the company's other big reveal - an electric truck named the Tesla Semi - during a presentation at an airport in Los Angeles last night. The $200,000 sports car - an updated version of Tesla's first production vehicle - can seat four and travel 620 miles on a single charge, a new record for an electric vehicle. The car - which also features a removable glass roof - can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds. 'You´ll be able to travel from LA to San Francisco, and back, at highway speed without recharging,' Musk said. 'The point of doing this is to just give a hardcore smackdown to gasoline cars.'

Meteorologist Ken Weathers, who is an East Tennessee WATE 6 News weatherman, posted a home video, main, on YouTube that's racked up hundreds of thousands of views.

The Department for Transport confirmed that 1.8 per cent of vehicles, the equivalent of 755,000 cars, motorcycles and vans, were untaxed in 2017 - that's compared to just 0.6 per cent in 2013, before the paper tax disc was abolished. In fact, more motorists are evading Vehicle and Excise Duty (VED) today then they have done in any other year for a decade and 83,000 haven't taxed their car for more than 12 months.

Some 2,000 examiners will strike from December 4 in protest of changes to the driving test that are being introduced that day. It is estimated that it will lead to 10,000 test cancellations.

A Ford Escort RS Cosworth dubbed a 'time capsule' car after covering just 837 miles since 1996 has sold for £91,125 at auction. Today, the Escort Cosworth is considered a fully-fledged modern classic car and the two previous owners' decision to forgo driving this one and wrap it in cotton wool instead has been celebrated with the astonishing price fetched at Silverstone Auctions NEC Classic Motor Show sale.

Reports have suggested that the Chancellor has decided that tax increases on diesel is the best way to encourage motorists to buy hybrid and electric cars - be it an increase in VAT or a new levy - and will confirm the news on November 22. New diesel sales fell by almost a third in October and owners are already concerned that their cars will plummet in value.

If you fancy winning a game of school run Top Trumps, Lamborghini has the perfect car. Called the Urus, the new four-seat sports utility vehicle is expected to cost around £180,000 and become one of the fastest family cars on the planet. Lamborghini won't take the wraps off the eagerly-anticipated new supercar 4x4 for another month, but it has given us a glimpse of what to expect with a quick clip of a disguised Urus tearing through the desert.

When it comes to fuel economy a car should do exactly what it says on the tin - but that's far from the case. According to new data, there's a huge 42% gap between the 'official' fuel economy figures stated by carmakers and those achieved when owners drive on the road - up from just 9% in 2001.

Lamborghini already builds some of the most extreme cars you can drive on the road today, but its vision for the hypercar of tomorrow is on a whole new level. The Terzo Millennio's body panels are made of a carbon fibre composite that can detect and repair cracks or dents and power comes from electric supercapacitors instead of traditional batteries. But there's still one EV issue Lamborghini hasn't overcome...

The Koenigsegg Agera RS has smashed the world record for the fastest production car after clocking an average speed of 277.9mph over two runs down a highway in the Nevada desert. It takes the title off French powerhouse Bugatti which set a record of 267.8mph in 2010 with a Veyron Super Sport. On the second run, with a favourable tailwind and going slightly downhill, the Koenigsegg clocked a top speed of 284.5mph, which is the fastest a production car has ever gone. That record was held by a Hennessey Venom GT which hit 270.5mph in 2014, though never took the speed record because it only completed one run.

Texan firm Hennessey claims that its latest creation will blaze from zero to 186mph in under 10 seconds. Launched at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, just 24 will be made. The current fastest production car of all time is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which was officially clocked at 270mph in 2010.

This is one of the 7,145 Escort Cosworths built for the road and is likely to be the least used.

The car manufacturer famed for making James Bond’s favourite sexy sports cars, grand tourers and supercars reckons its new Aston Martin bicycle will prove a big hit – though the saddle does not incorporate an ejector seat. And though it won’t match the 200mph top speed of some of Aston Martin’s supercars, if you peddle hard enough you should manage 30mph.

The EarthRoamer XV-HD started out life as a Ford pickup truck but has been transformed into a luxury motorhome that can accommodate six people. But while it has been designed to cope with the most extreme off-grid environments, it is also targeted at buyers wanting to travel in luxury. There is a full bathroom with separate shower, washer and tumble dryer, heated floors, king-size bed, Bose surround sound system and room for six. The kitchen has an induction hob, Bosch microwave and oven, fridge freezer and a sink. Colorado-based EarthRoamer unveiled the XV-HD this week - and it costs a whopping $1.5million (£1.13m).

The 1964 Ferrari 275 P took the chequered flag at the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in the same year - a feat that hasn't been repeated by an official car in the 53 years since, making it arguably the most collectible of all time. If it sells for more than $38.115million (£29million), it will become the most expensive car ever to change hands.

This is what the most powerful Ferrari you can buy looks like - and it has more wings than an RAF station. It's called the FXX-K Evo, costs in the region of £3million and is more potent than Ferrari's current Formula One car.

New figures released by Network Rail said there were almost 2,000 cases last year of HGV drivers misjudging the height of their vehicle and smashing into rail infrastructures - which works out at an average of five incidents every day. Not only does this cause massive delays for both rail passengers and other motorists, it also costs the tax payer a staggering £23 million in damages. That's roughly £11,500 each time a lorry ploughs into a bridge.

Failure to secure access to the scheme could see independent car garages lose access to information and data that's needed to repair vehicles being used on the road today. The existing EU regulation means all car manufacturers are obliged to share information on parts and repair processes for all their new models, which secures a fair market for independent businesses to operate in.

Half of the top ten most reliable cars in their category sold in the UK are from Japanese brands, according to a new report by What Car?. But it was not such good news for UK car making. While the Honda Jazz and Audi A3 (pictured top left and bottom left) scored enviable 100% reliability, the diesel versions of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar XE (pictured top right and bottom right) came bottom of their categories.

The full-electric two-seat sports car outlines the Japanese brand's commitment to build performance models that produce zero emissions in the future, with retro styling that's reminiscent of the Toyota 2000GT from 1967 Bond film You Only Live Twice (inset). We take a closer look.

The driverless vehicles, which are called Podzeros (pictured), were designed by a company called RDM Group and are being tested on the guided busway in Cambridge. It's hoped they would ease congestion by offering an automated service to make around 100 journeys a day - away from pedestrians and cyclists. However, anyone in a hurry may need to brace themselves – the futuristic vehicles have a top speed of just 15mph.

Earlier in the year, I wrote about an Essex resident who was handed a £190 fine for one £2.50 crossing at Dartford, which she thought had been paid for. Since then, I have had dozens of cases of drivers who have had fines for far higher than that. And to think, once upon a time, it looked like the bridge and tunnel system would be free to use...
