Tim Horton died in a single-vehicle car crash on February 21, 1974, while driving on the Queen Elizabeth Way in St. Catharines, Ontario. He lost control of his De Tomaso Pantera sports car and was thrown from the vehicle because he was not wearing a seatbelt. Horton was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital due to a broken neck and fractured skull. An autopsy revealed he had a blood-alcohol level well above the legal limit and had prescription drugs in his system at the time of the accident.

The $500,000 American EV Taking On Rolls-Royce With 800-HP Of Silent Luxury​

You may not have heard of Dacora, but its ambition is just as loud as its desired competitors from Europe.

The First Female-Founded Luxury Car Brand​

With classic 1930s styling, a Pininfarina-designed coachbuilt body, and over 800 electric horsepower, new luxury EV startup Decora has officially launched, announcing its ambitious entry to the ultra-luxury segment where it plans to take on the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

Founded by MIT-trained engineers Kristie and Eric D’Ambrosio-Correll, with the former acting as the carmaker’s CEO, Dacora claims to be the first female-founded and led automotive brand, touting over 30 years of combined experience in product design, systems engineering, and hardware innovation. The company is backed by Female Founders Fund, an early-stage venture firm focused on women-led businesses.
But what about the product? It’s still unnamed, but it will be an American-made (and American-sourced, apparently), pure-electric EV with an eye-popping $500,000 price tag.

What Is Dacora’s First Model?​

Apart from the nostalgic, albeit polarizing style, the Dacora EV features heritage wood options allowing personal material integration, swappable upholstery collections you can replace twice a year (including seasonal materials like wool and linen), an adjustable floor system for ergonomic precision, and modular seating (3 to 7 seats) with independent lighting and climate controls.

In short, the half-a-million EV offers Rolls-Royce levels of customization, with a fully modular interior that’s reconfigurable even after purchase.

No plastic is used in the interior, with Dacora only offering hardwoods, woven wool, and hand-stitched leathers as options. A non-touchscreen infotainment display is hidden behind a semi-transparent wooden panel, while mechanical dials and switches are present for controls.

800 HP & 400 Miles: Can It Really Beat Rolls-Royce?​

Dacora has yet to provide any specific details about its EV’s specifications, but has declared promising estimates. The overall output is rated at over 800 hp, while the all-electric range is rated at 400 miles – numbers that surpass the Rolls-Royce Spectre.

In the marque’s 60th anniversary year, Automobili Lamborghini presents Revuelto, the first super sports V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle). Revuelto defines a new paradigm in terms of performance, sportiness and driving pleasure from its unprecedented new architecture; innovative design; maximum-efficiency aerodynamics; and a new carbon frame concept. An output of 1015 CV is delivered from the combined power of an entirely new combustion engine together with three electric motors, alongside a double-clutch gearbox that makes its debut on a 12-cylinder Lamborghini for the first time.

The powertrain combines high specific power elements: the new 127 CV/liter combustion engine works synergically with two front axial flux motors that deliver an outstanding weight-to-power ratio, with a radial flux electric motor positioned above the first eight-speed double-clutch gearbox debuting on a 12-cylinder Lamborghini. The three electric motors are powered by a lithium-ion high specific power (4500 W/kg) battery pack that also supports a fully-electric drive mode.
Carbon fiber, produced via artisan craftmanship in the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory, is the principal structural element within the new car, used not only in the monofuselage and frame but also for many elements of the bodywork.The extensive use of carbon fiber and lightweight materials, combined with the potent engine power, contributes to achieving the best weight-to-power ratio in the history of Lamborghini: 1,75 kg/CV.
The new Revuelto combines these attributes to deliver performance figures at the peak of its segment: acceleration from 0-100 km/h in only 2,5 seconds and a top speed of more than 350 km/h. These numbers combine with its exceptional dynamism thanks to the introduction of electric torque vectoring, and four-wheel drive available also in fully-electric drive mode, ensuring the Revuelto super sports car expresses its amplified qualities both on track and in daily driving.
