Now, the topless sports car has made its public debut at the 2018 LA Auto Show, allowing us to marvel at it in the metal. It’s safe to say the 8 Series Coupe’s mix of muscularity and elegance hasn’t been compromised. In fact, we’d argue it looks even better without a roof. Raising or lowering the fabric roof takes just 15 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph. The roof is then stored under a cover with a surface finish and stitching matching the instrument panel and interior door and side panel trim. The subtle “double-bubble” contour of the cover behind the two rear seats apes the design incorporated in the BMW 8 Series Convertible’s roofline. When raised, the fully-electric soft-top roof that helps reduce weight from the very top of the car, while also lowering the center of gravity and improving handling and performance.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Tesla Inc.’s head of human resources and facilities has been on a leave of absence as the electric-car maker has dealt with a period of intense tumult spurred by Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk. Gabrielle Toledano, who joined Tesla as chief people officer in May 2017 from Electronic Arts Inc., confirmed she’s on leave when reached by phone Wednesday and declined to comment further. A Tesla spokesman said the leave was prompted by Toledano’s request and her duties are being handled by other members of the HR team. Toledano, 51, is one of Tesla’s highest-ranking women. She reports directly to Musk and was among the handful of executives who stood on stage with him at the company’s annual shareholder meeting in June.

DETROIT — After 10 million vehicles over 54 years, the Mustang remains one of the most vital nameplates in Ford Motor Co.'s stable. It's Exhibit A for what the Ford brand wants to stand for: bold, emotional designs that elicit passion among its customers. The rest of its cars lack that cachet, which is why, after the Fusion sedan disappears from showrooms early next decade, the Mustang effectively will be Ford's last car standing as the brand shifts to a lineup dominated by pickups and utility vehicles. Now, Ford is trying to re-create that Mustang magic in its crossover and SUV lineup. One vehicle in particular, a yet-to-be-named battery-electric crossover, was heavily inspired by the Mustang; Ford floated the name Mach 1 for it this year, though the production version is likely to get a different moniker. "It's core to what people see Ford as," Carl Widmann, the Mustang's chief engineer, told Automotive News . "We wanted a vehicle that would draw pe...

By year end, Ann Arbor will have 75 vehicle-to-infrastructure transmitter sites scattered among its streets and some 3,150 cars plugged in. The expansive scope of the project is an unparalleled testing opportunity, said Hideki Hada, executive engineer at To...
