These are the numbers we all eagerly anticipated from the new Hummer EV truck. The truck as you know offers 1000 horsepower as the longer design allows for more battery capacity than the SUV. It also makes it heavy. Very heavy. ...Published on 03-18-2022 06:21 PM
This does not discount the possibility of internal combustion variants as Maserati does not say the Gran Turismo will be 100% an EV but that the next generation Gran Turismo will be the first 100% electric Maserati. ...Published on 03-17-2022 02:40 PM
Audi loves their Avants and even is letting the US finally get some serious Audi wagon love. How about an A6 e-tron avant? Porsche offers the Taycan wagon as a GTS model in the USA and can not keep up with Taycan demand. ...Published on 03-14-2022 03:50 PM
Pretty interesting comparison here and we will see more of this as classic cars are retromodded to accept EV powertrains. In this particular instance the classic 911 gets a single Tesla EV motor good for roughly 450 horsepower and of course instant torque. ...Published on 03-13-2022 10:22 PM
EV's are not taking over the performance game just yet. We are seeing plenty of cars take down Tesla Model S Plaids. Now even trucks are getting into the mix. A Coyote with a big pair of turbochargers is nothing to take lightly. ...Published on 03-09-2022 03:51 PM
An interesting tidbit here from Chevrolet who teased the new Blazer EV which is expected in 2023 as a 2024 model year vehicle. The EV push certainly is intensifying but for enthusiasts perhaps the Blazer SS will be of interest. ...Published on 03-09-2022 03:14 PM
It is not just ECU tuning being affected but now we have entire production lines shutting down. Why is Germany shutting down production of the Porsche Taycan EV (electric vehicle) in their Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen assembly plant? ...Published on 03-03-2022 05:14 PM
The Rivian R1T is a very hot truck right now and very hard to get. It is not hard to see why demand is so high when the Rivian R1T performs so well and is being lauded by testers. In the current automotive climate, prices are rising across the board. ...Published on 03-01-2022 05:43 PM
Tesla Plaid effect? If you have a 2014 or newer model year vehicle you can drag race your street legal car on NHRA sanctioned tracks without needing roll cage. That is, as long as you do not break into the 8's or top 150 miles per hour of trap speed. ...Published on 02-23-2022 10:03 PM
Any surprise here? With how well Porsche SUV's sell and how well the Porsche Taycan sells this is a no-brainer move for Porsche. The only problem they will have with Macan EV's is keeping up with the demand. ...Published on 02-22-2022 02:03 AM
You already know about the Tesla Model S Plaid and its performance figures and drivetrain. We'll skip all of that as the Tesla Model X Plaid is essentially the same thing but in a heavier SUV form. ...Published on 02-08-2022 03:31 PM
You have the right to freely move about. You get in your car, you go where you want to go. Well, that will change from 2026 on. The government will allow law enforcement use of a kill switch in all vehicles from 2026 forward. ...Published on 02-08-2022 03:50 AM
Yes, more Plaid races as it is currently the benchmark. Roll races are certainly interesting to see especially against well established tuner cars such as the 911 Turbo. The example here is a 991.2 Turbo S. ...Published on 02-01-2022 02:33 AM
EV drag races continue to capture our attention. For one, EV's are the new kids on the block. Secondly, we want to know how tough these will be to beat namely for those of us who do not intend to join the dark side. ...Published on 01-31-2022 11:01 PM
Sometimes you just need to see a race with a high power car to truly understand what 1500+ wheel horsepower means. We all know the Plaid is fast and it is easy to access its performance on the street. ...
