View Photos of the Tedson Motors Etna, Based on the Lamborghini Gallardo
READ THE FULL STORY
Zagreb, Croatia, coachbuilder Tedson Motors has done a few Porsche restomods, and now it takes on Lamborghini's Gallardo, which was built between 2003 and 2013. The V-10-powered car gets a six-speed manual transmission, a power increase, a carbon-fiber body, and suspension upgrades from the Super Trofe0. Scroll through for a closer look.
Tedson Motors says the carbon-fiber-bodied Etna is "inspired by the Golden Era of Formula 1."
Weight reduction was a priority—and a 450-pound weight savings was achieved—thanks to elements including carbon-fiber seats, titanium exhaust, and suspension components from the Super Trofeo and GT3 race cars.
The Gallardo's 5.0-liter V-10 makes 592 horsepower in the Etna and has a 10,000-plus-rpm redline.
Bonus, the Etna's custom titanium exhaust system amplifies the car's sound.
Tedson sources the Etna's 19-inch custom wheels from California's AL13 Wheels.
Only 77 Etna cars will be produced starting with a Launch Edition Series of nine cars, with deliveries slated to start in fall 2026.

4 European Car Brands Named the Most Reliable of 2025
Americans tend to associate European car brands with luxury or performance — but not necessarily reliability. But some European automakers have made great strides in recent years on reliability, and therefore, worth for your money. Trending Now: For You: Try these four brands that combine a smooth ride and minimal maintenance. You can also read about the least reliable European car brands this year. Wait, what? For decades, Porsches had a reputation for spending six months out of the year in the shop. 'Porsche leads reliability rankings due to its reputation for excellent engineering practices,' explained Alan Gelfand of German Car Depot. 'The 911 Carrera stands out as a top model because of its outstanding performance results in technical inspection evaluations.' It's no exaggeration: Porsche ranked as the most reliable European brand in J.D. Power's 2025 dependability study. They also scored the title of 'Best Luxury Brand' in 2025 by U.S. News and World Report. Discover More: While they don't have the same power or pizzazz as Porches, Minis also don't come with the same price tag. The brand topped WhatCar's reliability rankings in 2024, and placed third on J.D. Power's list. If you're looking for an ultra-compact urban car, look no further than Mini. The 'ultimate driving machine' has started living up to its marketing. 'BMW pleasantly surprised the world by addressing tech issues and engine problems formerly synonymous with the marque,' notes Alex Black of car research platform EpicVIN. 'They, at last, perfected the blend of performance and dependability.' Sure enough, J.D. Power ranked BMW as the second most reliable European car brand. Black added that EpicVIN maintenance report statistics and user feedback show BMWs have achieved remarkable reliability improvements. While J.D. Power didn't offer Audi much love in their study, Consumer Reports ranked the German luxury brand first among European carmakers in 2025. The Audi Q2 tied for third most reliable car in the world for two-to-three year-old car recalls, in the 2025 TÜV Report. Among four-to-five year-old cars, both the Q2 and the A3 made the top ten list for fewest recall issues in the world. Check out Audi as a viable and reliable alternative to BMW among German luxury cars.

Trump undercuts Biden fuel economy rules
The Big Story The Trump administration on Friday took a step to undermine a Biden-era rules tightening car fuel efficiency requirements. The Transportation Department published an interpretive rule that says the Biden administration improperly considered electric vehicles as a way to make vehicle fleets more efficient While this determination does not formally end the Biden-era rule, the Trump administration indicated that while the rulemaking process plays out, it may not enforce the Biden-era standards. 'Pending the rulemaking process for the establishment of replacement standards, [the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration] will exercise its enforcement authority with regard to all existing … standards in accordance with the interpretation set forth in this rule,' it stated. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a statement accused the previous administration of trying to push an electric vehicle 'mandate.' 'Under President Trump's leadership, we are making vehicles more affordable and easier to manufacture in the United States,' Duffy said. 'The previous administration illegally used [Corporate Average Fuel Economy] standards as an electric vehicle mandate.' The Biden administration issued a rule requiring cars to be about 2 percent more fuel efficient each year while heavy duty pickup trucks and vans would have to be 10 percent more efficient each year from 2030 to 2032 and 8 percent more efficient in the years after.
