Disappointing news for Rivian fans here waiting for the extended battery version of the Rivian R1T and R1S models. Currently, the maximum range is just over 300 miles but the larger max battery pack is expected to push range to just over 400 miles. ...Published on 12-27-2021 02:51 PM
The performance barometer for a street car is no longer the McLaren 720S but a Tesla Model S Plaid. That means the trap speed necessary is up from ~140 miles per hour to ~150 miles per hour to be considered fast. ...Published on 12-06-2021 05:03 PM
Bad blood brewing between the two companies? Perhaps. As the Rivian R1T beat the Ford F-150 Lightning to market Ford and Rivian last month announced they would no longer jointly develop any future EV projects. ...Published on 11-26-2021 02:43 PM
This was inevitable considering the Tesla Model S Plaid runs low 9's out of the box. As tuning is not part of the equation really it is a game of getting the weight down and more traction off the line to improve the ET (elapsed time) of the Model S Plaid. ...Published on 11-23-2021 12:03 PM
BoostAddict.com loves the Hellcat 6.2 liter supercharged V8. What is there not to like about it? It comes with an iron block and twin screw supercharger which allows you to make as much horsepower as your wallet can handle. ...Published on 11-17-2021 03:03 PM
The argument between ICE (internal combustion engine) and EV (electric vehicle) performance enthusiasts will rage for some time. Some people think with the Tesla Model S Plaid that EV's are winning the performance battle. ...Published on 11-16-2021 07:55 PM
Audi plans to go electric only in roughly five years. Before then though we will start getting Audi RS performance EV's an Audi intends to go fully electric with the next generation Audi RS6 wagon or estate model as early as 2023. ...Published on 11-15-2021 12:32 PM
A very interesting comparison here with three of the best performance sedans on the market. The outlier is naturally the Tesla Model S Plaid which is 100% electric and we all know just how fast the thing is in a straight line. ...Published on 11-15-2021 11:52 AM
You likely saw the Edmunds test figures posted for the 835 horsepower and 908 lb-ft of torque Rivian R1T. MotorTrend's figures are even more impressive which is incredible when you factor in the 7143 pound curb weight. ...Published on 11-12-2021 01:11 PM
We can say right off the bat the stock Porsche 992 Turbo S is overmatched here when it comes to straightline speed. However, it is a very quick stock car and that just goes to show the level of competition here. ...Published on 11-10-2021 01:00 PM
Usually big, heavy, fast, and nimble do not all go in the same sentence. Yet, the Rivian R1T somehow defies its heft. And hefty it is at a whopping 7,148 pounds which suddenly makes the Ram TRX seem a bit less plump. ...Published on 11-10-2021 11:34 AM
Already? AddictEV.com literally just posted about this new Eluminator EV crate motor from Ford a week ago and the initial production run is already sold. Talk about a good sign for EV adoption among car enthusiasts, eh? ...Published on 11-06-2021 12:37 PM
These type so stories will likely become more prevalent over the years but what in the world was the driver thinking? Why did they drive their car knowing the battery was about to run out and they could end up stranding not only themselves but other drivers? ...Published on 11-04-2021 03:41 PM
It is now official. Bugatti and Rimac are joining together with Rimac holding a 55% share of Bugatti Rimac. Porsche is a 45% partner but do not forge they also hold 22% of Rimac as well along with other partners. ...
