The American performance world was rocked yesterday when FCA introduced their new Hellcat Hemi-powered Ram Rebel TRX Concept, but in looking at the features which make this truck so special – I believe that this incredible performance truck could reach production in pretty much the same form as the image shown above.
It is a topic that may strike a nerve, the owner of a 2016 Mustang asking what can be done about the “Neck Choker AKA Seat Belt”. The writer named Mario asks “ Curious about anyone else's solution to the dreaded seat belt of the S550. I'm hesitant to get a seat belt pad, because well I've always thought they look corny. But the damn throat-slicing seat belt is about the only thing on my car I don't love.”
While leaked dealership information suggested that the 2017 Ford Raptor F150 would have 450 horsepower and 510lb-ft of torque, the Motor Company announced the official specs this morning and as expected, those figures of 450 and 510 are accurate – making the new Raptor the most powerful F150 ever.
This morning we brought you the news of the incredible new Ram Rebel TRX Concept, featuring the supercharged 6.2L Hellcat Hemi and while the collection of high resolution images didn’t include engine bay pictures – we have acquired a set of shots showing the Hellcat Hemi nestled into the engine bay of the gorgeous Ram 1500 concept.
On September 29th, 1966, General Motors took the first orders for the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro so today is effectively the 50th birthday of the storied American performance car and GM has rolled out a revamped version of their celebration website to offer even more Camaro information to fans - including a chance to share your own Camaro pictures!
While we've written much as to the arrival of Honda Civic Type-R to North America, today, that speculation was ended in Paris with the reveal of a Honda that will change the compact performance game in the U.S. and Canada.
FCA announced this morning that the incredible Ram Rebel TRX Concept will debut at the 2016 Texas State Fair with Hellcat Hemi power – although this monster performance truck doesn’t pack the same big power as the Hellcat-powered Dodge Challenger and Charger.
General Motors has refiled the trademark application for the LT5 engine nomenclature, presumably for the upcoming Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 or perhaps the long-rumors mid-engine C8 Corvette – both of which would likely pack more power than the 650 horsepower LT4 in the Corvette Z06 and the Camaro ZL1.
The German tuning experts at GeigerCars have made a name for themselves in creating some monster performance packages for American vehicles sold overseas and the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is their latest project – adding impressive power, a new suspension setup and new wheels wrapped in wider rear tires along with that striking green exterior paint.
The Ford Mustang is rumored to be set for a surprising facelift in the next two years and based on what I have seen in person and what is available via spy shots, I believe that the 2018 or 2019 Mustang might have a lightly restyled front end and a significantly restyled rear end.
Xbox France is giving away the awesome Ford Mustang inspired Xbox One console shown in the image above and the video below to one lucky gamer in conjunction with the launch of Forza Horizon 3, and as an avid Forza gamer – I am very jealous that we don’t have the opportunity to win something like this here in the US market.
The teams of the NHRA Funny Car class headed to Gateway Motorsports Park in St Louis, Missouri this past weekend for the 2nd event in the 6-race Countdown to the Championship and Jack Beckman drove his Don Schumacher Racing Dodge Charger to the top of the bracket – beating teammate Tommy Johnson Jr for the big win.
Some of us dream of owning a McLaren P1. But the large pricetag means it is out of reach for most. What if I told you could get a P1 that is fully electric, has no roof, and comes just under $500? Intrigued?
The final video on the Chevrolet Camaro 50th anniversary website has gone live and while we had hoped that this video installment would include something spicy – like the 6th gen Camaro Z/28 – it is another video showing the ZL1 and a vast array of other classic Chevy muscle cars.
According to a release issued by Ford Motor Company, the 2017 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang, the Shelby GT350R Mustang and the new high performance Ford Focus RS are all sold out around the world, more than three months before the 2017 calendar year arrives – although that doesn’t mean that you can’t buy one from your local dealership.
The high performance Holden Commodore will leave the Australian lineup next year, but before it does, the company’s Aussie performance brand HSV will offer up one final, ultra-high performance super sedan with the engine from the C6 Corvette ZR1 and the suspension setup from the Holden VF race cars.
While the vast majority of the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcats setting records on the drag strip are equipped with the 8-speed automatic transmission, a new manual transmission Challenger owner has raised the bar for those Hellcat racers with a clutch pedal – laying down an awesome 10.25 run at 140 miles per hour.
When General Motors announced that they would only build 1,000 examples of the beautiful 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Collector’s Edition, it was clear that they would be hard to get, but according to a new report, only 850 of those will be sold in the United States – making them even harder to acquire.
When the news dropped that the 2017 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and the 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would have a new steering wheel center with an SRT badge with red backlighting, many owners of 2015 and 2016 Hellcat cars wanted to know if they could swap to the glowing badge - and the answer is “yes”.
