The days when hybrids were wimpy, underpowered cars that only populated Silicon Valley parking lots are well behind us. Case in point, the Toyota RAV4 Plug-In was already delivering 302 horsepower the last time we went looking for the cheapest path to 300 hp nearly two years ago, and it's only gotten more powerful since then. In the meantime, the Toyota has gone hybrid-only, but it's still the PHEV model that offers the lowest price on 300+ horses. Here's how Toyota's delivering premium power at a mid-range price.

After taking the lead on the opening lap, the No. 8 Toyota TR010 crew of Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley, and Ryo Hirakawa never looked back, dominating their No. 7 sister car to win the 6 Hours of Barcelona. Hirakawa ultimately crossed the line 0.583 seconds ahead of Mike Conway in the final stint. With their 1-2 finish, Toyota secured their 13th WEC championship and fifth in their hypercar era. The No. 7 took the lead from the No. 8 in the second hour when Buemi was hit with a drive-through penalty; Harley would muscle it back and, at one point, extend the lead to over 14 seconds. The Toyotas made the right call on when to switch from wet-weather Michelin tires to dry-condition tires but dominated both stages of the race. The final podium finisher crossed the line 39.148 seconds after the Toyotas secured their WEC manufacturer championship. The No. 50 Ferrari 499P completed the podium, with its sister car hitting roadblock after roadblock, pitting nine times during the race, and finishing three laps down in 15th. The No. 38 Cadillac Herts Team Jota was a distant fourth, 52.811 seconds after the winner took the checkered flag with the NO. 83 Ferrari Af Corse 499P close behind.

If absolutely nothing else, Facebook Marketplace is the final boss of window shopping. Sometimes I’m doom scrolling away when I see someone selling a shitton of homemade tamales that I’m sure are both delicious and safe. Other times, I kid you not, I’ve seen sex toys labeled as lightly used (which there’s no such thing as light usage in LA, amiright!). And other times, I’m out with my friends when I find myself suddenly going on another tirade of me trying to get them to buy shitty off-road-ready vehicles so they can join me on the trails. Are they ever gonna buy those off-roading shitboxes? No. Should I buy those tamales prepped by a stranger in a likely unclean kitchen? Probably not. Should I absolutely buy those ‘lightly’ used sex toys? My editors are telling me not to answer that question. [Ed Note: My god…-DT]. Regardless of what you see on any given day on Big Zucks’ Marketplace, there’s always a gambling-like energy that I find when scrolling through it, because a banger just might find its way to you. Today is one of those days.

Travis Hunter became the first NFL player since 2002 to catch an offensive touchdown and defensive interception in the same game Sunday during the Jacksonville Jaguars' battle with the Houston Texans in London.

If you’ve ever pulled a fistful of leaves out of a pool pump basket, you already understand the only thing that went wrong at Africa’s only nuclear plant in August. Stuff gets sucked toward the pump, stuff piles up on the screen, the flow drops, and eventually the pump quits. Now swap the pool for the South Atlantic, swap the leaves for a mass of dead sardines, and swap your pump for one that’s keeping a 930-megawatt reactor cool. That’s pretty much what happened at Koeberg, which sits on the coast about 17 miles north of Cape Town. On Friday, August 21, Eskom, the state utility that runs the place, cut Unit 1 back to 50 percent. A cooling pump had shut itself off because the seawater intake was packed with what Eskom called “marine material,” which turned out to be fish. Lots of fish.

Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game.

Well, my wealthy friend, Lamborghini has the perfect solution to your woes, so there will be no need to wipe your tears with Benjamins as you lament those perceived inadequacies.

TiempoTiempo with Joe Torres airs Sunday at 11:30 a.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City. Sunday, October 18, 2026 4:28PMNEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- On this episode of "Tiempo," we'll be on the campus of Hostos Community College in the Bronx to celebrate the contributions of Latinos in the New York metropolitan area. Early Latino history dates back centuries to 1613, when notable figure Juan Rodriguez arrived in New York City from Santo Domingo. Ever since then, Latinos have taken this city—and the surrounding metropolitan area—by storm. In modern times, Cubans settled in New Jersey's Hudson County. Neighborhoods like El Barrio and Loisaida in Lower Manhattan became the centers of Puerto Rican culture. Dominicans established strong communities in Washington Heights and Inwood. Later, Latinos from Mexico, Central and South America reshaped neighborhoods across the five boroughs and beyond. On this episode, we'll spotlight Latino scholars, leaders, community activists, entrepreneurs, and entertainers. They are "Tiempo Trailblazers and Unsung Heroes. "Tiempo with Joe Torres airs Sunday at 11:30 a.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.

Most enthusiasts will likely be familiar with the original Li'l Red Express truck from Dodge, which arrived based upon the D-Series platform back in the late 1970s. Jalopnik readers ranked it among the most American vehicles of all time, and it was sold across the '78 and '79 model years, a time when mandated emissions equipment were sapping power from the most performance-oriented models on sale in the U. S.. However, Dodge clocked a loophole; vehicles with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) in excess of 6,000 pounds were permitted to run without a catalytic converter. The Dodge D150's 6,100-pound GVW was therefore the perfect platform for some performance-boosting fun. A 225-horsepower 360-cubic-inch V8 was dropped beneath the hood, and a series of distinctive cosmetic tweaks were added; notably semi-truck-style exhaust stacks, and some cool signature graphics.
