Moab, Utah is an off-roaders' paradise. The terrain is well known as challenging and the Hells Gate is a famous spot that chews up and spits out plenty of trucks that try to climb it. Well, a production spec Rivian R1T gave it a shot. ...Published on 09-30-2021 05:56 AM
The main hurdle EV's are going to face is weight and distance. You see Tesla do what it does because it shoves a ton of heavy batteries into the Model S much like what GM is doing with their Hummer trucks. ...Published on 09-29-2021 02:04 AM
An absolutely fantastic overview here from Grassroots Motorsports although it would be nice to have track times listed as well rather than just using the 'A,B,C,...' scale we all know from elementary school. ...Published on 09-24-2021 09:41 PM
Don't worry, the 911 is not going fully electric. The 718 however, is. This is a bit of a disappointment as the 718 is the lightest Porsche offered. Porsche will incorporate lightweight technology but the 718 is expected to balloon to 3650 pounds. ...Published on 09-10-2021 12:00 PM
Well, how about that? Tesla is not just pushing straightline performance but determine to be the overall EV performance sedan champion. The Porsche Taycan held the Nurburgring EV sedan lap record at 7:42.34 but we have a new champion. ...Published on 09-08-2021 07:33 AM
It's mortal. There are those who seem to think the Model S Plaid is unbeatable and that is hardly the case. Yes, this is a very powerful Porsche 911 Turbo it goes up against but this is hardly the strongest example of a Porsche 991.1 Turbo or street car for that matter. ...Published on 09-08-2021 07:12 AM
We mentioned the automotive chip shortage and Bosch's take on the matter in a previous article. Bosch stated greater supply and moving production out of Asia was necessary but what was not stated is how long this problem would take to resolve. ...Published on 09-07-2021 12:32 PM
Is this the future of racing we are looking at? Well, it is headed in this direction but not quite here yet. The Mission R is a concept of an all electric race car with two motors (one on each axle) capable of output up to 1088 horsepower. ...Published on 08-25-2021 07:29 PM
The Taycan lost the fastest acceleration production EV crown but that does not mean development stops. For the 2022 model year Porsche is introducing some changes including new colors as well as improved range. ...Published on 08-25-2021 06:01 PM
The second generation NSX did not exactly change the genre or redefine what a sports car can be unlike the first generation NSX which is still revered. All the delays and redesigns hurt the NSX and the final product just never really found its identity. ...Published on 08-24-2021 08:53 PM
Bosch is a name we all know. The German company is the world's largest supplier of car parts and many of the big names we know and love rely on Bosch electronics. However, Bosch is struggling with supply chain issues and as we recently saw with the announcement from Mercedes-AMG nobody is safe from supply problems. ...Published on 08-24-2021 08:00 PM
This is something we are going to see more and more of as EV's proliferate the streets. EV strengths are throttle response and torque down low which essentially means they are most dangerous from a stoplight or a drag race. ...Published on 08-18-2021 05:32 PM
The fact the Tesla Model S Plaid is even being mentioned in the same breadth as the Rimac Nevera is a testament to how potent the Plaid is. There is no arguing it is a much better value and it essentially is the out of the box performance benchmark today. ...Published on 08-18-2021 04:15 PM
Audi is obviously pushing its E-Tron EV brand hard and their E-Tron SUV is getting the 'S' treatment. What does this mean? It means three electric motors for a total of 496 horsepower which should make for a very nice performance EV SUV. ...Published on 08-04-2021 03:40 PM
This is how you keep milking a virus and keep people scared. It is rather impossible to keep politics out of this topic as New York is mandating vaccine passports and it is going to be very tough to have an auto show unless you literally force everyone from all over the globe attending to take the vaccine. ...
