| This “Street-Art-Influenced” Hyundai Is How You Slam a Sonata |
Oct 31st, 2014 |
|
John Pangilinan claims the Hyundai Sonata he’s built for SEMA is evocative of Los Angeles street art. We wish the street artists of Los Angeles would organize into a cabal and just paint the whole place white with a black stripe. Or just do the whole joint up in a 2Tone-inspired checkerboard pattern. Los Angeles: […]

| This Is What the World’s Come to: A Slayer-Modified—Yes, the Metal Band—Scion tC for SEMA |
Oct 31st, 2014 |
|
Metal icons Slayer are all about fast, loud, and violent. The gothic-macabre Slayer Scion tC that Toyota will bring to SEMA this year embodies at least two of those qualities, with a skull-festooned aesthetic and an interior crammed full of with audio gear. The black and red coupe has custom airbrushed skulls on either side and the […]

| Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid First Drive: Huh—a Fun Plug-In SUV? |
Oct 31st, 2014 |
|
If anyone predicted Porsche would be one of the brands leading the charge on plug-in hybrids back when Chevrolet launched the Volt in 2010—just as Porsche was debuting its first-ever production hybrid with the Cayenne—that person should be dealing futures on Wall Street. By replacing that SUV with this 2015 Cayenne S E-Hybrid plug-in, Porsche […]

| A Different Kind of Predator: 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S Driven! |
Oct 31st, 2014 |
|
Toasting the Porsche 911’s 50th birthday a year ago, we decreed its life and times to be exceptional. This is the two-door that defined what a modern, fast, and comfortable sports car should be. Porsche’s half-century of earnest development turned a flawed blueprint into a machine with grace and soul. If you don’t long for […]

| Ram Trucks CEO Says No 707-hp Hellcat Pickup “At This Time” |
Oct 30th, 2014 |
|
The story at Chrysler these days is the supercharged Hellcat V-8 engine. Seriously, it’s a 707-hp engine you can buy in one of two relatively normal and inexpensive vehicles, the Charger and the Challenger. As exciting as that is, what really gets us excited is figuring out what Chrysler product the Hellcat will end up in next. We […]

| 2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE Tested: Transformed Track Star |
Oct 30th, 2014 |
|
It’s not easy to see out of a Chevy Camaro. That’s just an inescapable consequence of forcing 1967 design cues onto modern, safety-compliant hardware shared with the Chevrolet SS and the late, lamented Pontiac G8. You’ll have to live with this poor visibility if you buy any Camaro. But opt for a Camaro SS equipped […]

| Hennessey’s Jaguar F-Type R Coupe Has 623 Seriously Pissed-Off Horsepower [Video] |
Oct 30th, 2014 |
|
Jaguar’s gorgeous F-type R is already a cracking good sports car, one that’s factory-rated at 550 snarling horses from its supercharged 5.0-liter V-8. As is typical for Hennessey Performance, though, that wasn’t enough. They’ve turned the wick up with the HPE600 F-type R, to the tune of 623 horses at the crank. Watch and listen as this cat blasts through […]

|
Ford is recalling 204,448 Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers in North America for fuel-tank brackets that can rust and cause gas to leak, the automaker said. The 2007–2008 Edge and MKX have reinforcement brackets that can cause a fuel odor, a fuel leak, or the check-engine light to illuminate if they corrode, Ford said. A total […]

Oct 30th, 2014 |

Not everyone is cut out for public speaking. People who are good at it make it look easy, but if you’re not a natural, the stress can be debilitating. Now put someone from the latter category on live national TV next to the World Series MVP. Things may not go as originally scripted. Such was […]
