The team at SSC has done it. The company's Tuatara hypercar has set a new land speed record for a production car, having registered a top speed of 282.9 mph.

Lincoln hit a home run with its redesigned Navigator launched for 2018. It offered road presence, a genuinely luxurious feel, and surprisingly good dynamics, helped along by the addition of independent rear suspension. But Cadillac has since introduced a redesigned Escalade, one that's seriously good and better than the Lincoln in many attributes...
The latest versions of Tesla's Model S and Model X feature a new steering wheel without any stalks for the indicators and transmission behind it.
