Long live the thunderous V-8

First Dawn Patrol experience. Incredible

Why are there four doors?

8600 rpm. 670 hp. So much yes. 🙏👏🎉

Engineers: we made the highest output NA V-8 ever, it shrieks to 8600 rpm, has a flat-plane crank, and lash-for-life direct-acting valvetrain Marketers: let’s go with “luxurious design”

The yellow exhaust tips are certainly production intent, right? #integra

Don’t think either of those are going to meet your “practical range” criteria. Rivian would go maybe ~100 highway miles between charges. We haven’t yet tested a Lightning, but would expect similar results based on EPA range figures

What’s it called when a Tesla is blocking a SAE combo plug?

Go read/watch Lightning Lap 2022, our 15th year! (Mostly so we can keep doing this and calling it work.)

A match made in gobbledygook heaven: a Toyota bZ4X wearing Pirelli Corsa PZC4 tires

Citroen calls the Ami a “mobility object,” and it drives with all the verve that cold language suggests. Can confirm 28-mph top speed. Always interesting to see what works in other markets, but without severe space constraints, $7500 buys a lot of used car

I now own a pickup, my first! ‘94 Ranger, 4.0, manual, 4x4. As you may have surmised from its presence on a trailer, it needs some TLC before it will be ready for hold-my-beer-grade sweet jumps

It’s always a good time with Raffaele de Simone

Everyone was wondering about this, right? caranddriver.com/news/a40170043…

Never let the facts get in the way of a good (confusing, contradictory) badge, says the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

Thanks and agreed! The labeling rules for EVs were necessarily put in place before the recent influx of new entries. Now that there’s more and better data, it’s time to adjust them to be more comparable and more real world, like those for ICE powertrains have been over the years

I can’t wait to see a PHEV that has DC fast-charging capability (such as the Mitsubishi Outlander or Mercedes S580e) tying up a 350-kW plug
