What Will 1,000 Horsepower Get You These Days?
It is little wonder that the first vehicle to claim over 1,000 horsepower was not the Bugatti Veyron. It was not some F1 monster engineered in a sterile room. It was not the product of Elon Musk’s overactive imagination. It was the Sunbeam 1000 hp Mystery, and it raced in 1927.

What Does Auto Progress Look Like?
The Mustang draws inspiration from a beloved American classic. If the Tesla Cybertruck draws inspiration from anything, it’s a Mad Max film. There are no corners on the Mustang Mach-E and there are no curves on the Tesla Cybertruck.

Car enthusiasts in other countries undoubtedly experience the same feelings, but none more so than in what intuitively may be an unlikely location: Sweden.

On March 17, 1834, Gottlieb Daimler was born in Germany. Had he been born 100 years later, he would have seen an automotive industry the likes of which early automakers could hardly dare dream, and yet, had he been born 100 years later, that very auto industry might never have come to pass.
