Hertz sells fleet of Shelby Mustang Mach-Es for top dollar
Hertz Rent-A-Car has over 50 Shelby Mustang Mach-E GTs for sale. Regardless of condition or mileage, each will cost at least $65,000. The Shelby moniker and rarity may make these cars worth the money. Hertz is now preparing to sell part of its Shelby Mustang Mach-E fleet. The cars have special Hertz liveries as well as some unique parts. Sure, the $65,000 price tag might seem a bit steep, but for those who remember how Hertz's past exclusives have appreciated in value, it might not be entirely out of character. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP") { adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); This isn't Hertz's first foray into the high-performance car rental business.

Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Scrambler teased with dollar fork
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 is expected to be launched in 2027, while the C6 bobber will be launched in 2026. One day before the 2024 EICMA Auto Show, Royal Enfield's electric vehicle sub-brand Flying Flea launched its first electric product C6. In addition, the company also previewed a scrambler-style electric motorcycle called the "Flying Flea S6". Given that C6 deliveries will begin the year before, we expect the S6 to launch sometime in 2027. While the Flying Flea S6 sits on the C6 electric platform - which underpins a forged aluminum frame and magnesium battery pack - it features an inverted front fork with 60% more suspension travel. The bike features aluminum spoked wheels wrapped in dual-purpose tires. The rear tires are expected to be smaller than the front ones. At the same time, Feifia C6 uses a beam-type front fork and a rear single shock absorber. Stopping power comes from disc brakes mounted on 19-inch alloy wheels…

Volkswagen in trouble – considering closing factories, dollar
public Volkswagen faces a challenging road ahead due to falling demand for cars in Europe and stiff competition from cheaper Asian brands. Facing a kind of existential crisis, Volkswagen has entered into tough negotiations with unions. Volkswagen Chief Financial Officer Arno Antlitz said the brand has only one or two years to achieve a turnaround. Other European car brands such as Stellantis and Renault face similar challenges. Demand decreased by 500,000 units Speaking to about 25,000 employees at the Wolfsburg headquarters, Antlitz said the European auto market had shrunk sharply after the pandemic. For Volkswagen, the company faces a demand gap of about 500,000 vehicles. This is close to the production capacity of the two factories. The market no longer exists and sales are not expected to recover, Antlitz said. Volkswagen only has about a year or two left to recover by adjusting production and implementing large-scale cost-cutting measures. Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume added that there will be no more…
