This past week, details have begun to surface regarding the next generation Porsche Boxster, and what type of motor will be powering the iconic roadster. Current speculation is that Porsche will dial back from the current flat six and introduce a range of flat four motors. The most likely scenario going into production would be a 2.0L and a 2.5L.
Since the new 2015 Ford F150 was introduced in Detroit with a body that is heavily construction from aluminum, all of the attention has been paid to the fuel economy benefits and the toughness of the materials – but this new lightweight F150 could also account for the most impressive SVT Lightning sport truck ever.
While we still don’t know for sure if the high performance S550 will be called the 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang – the folks at Road & Track caught one of the new super-Stangs leaving a parking lot in California and the exhaust tone of what we expect to be a high performance 5.0L Coyote engine is nothing shy of awe inspiring.
When the announcement was made to discontinue the SRT brand, it was reported by some that the 2015 Chrysler 300C would not get an SRT variant like the 2015 Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger, but a new report from Allpar suggests that the highest performance Chrysler sedan will live on into the 2015 model year – just without the Hellcat Hemi.
If you can’t foot the $50k+ bill to buy a 2014 or 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, but you still want to get a chance to get behind the wheel for a couple days, Hertz rental car company is now offering the new C7 Stingray as part of their Adrenaline Collection – with a price of $250 per day.
After facing more than a 6 months of criticism over excluding the Nürburgring and the new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the makers of Forza Motorsport 5 have brought both the historic German road course and the new Corvette to game – with two new DLC packs which add The Ring, the C7 and an impressive group of other vehicles for June 2014.
The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is promised to pack at least 600 horsepower and at least 575lb-ft of torque when it arrives later this year, but the most impressive aspect of this new Mopar muscle car might just be the untapped potential of the supercharged Hellcat Hemi.
When the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 finally reaches the garages of lucky owners around the country it will be one of the most powerful cars in the world and it very well could be one of the most track capable street legal cars of all time – possibly putting an end to the ongoing horsepower war in the US market.
General Motors has announced a new batch of recalls which once again include the Chevrolet Camaro – this time before some units from the 2012 model year have driver’s side airbags which may not deploy in the event of an accident and that could lead to more significant injury to the driver.
While the critics of the 2015 Ford Mustang redesign are crying foul over the fact that the front end is too European looking, we should all be reminded that the original Ford Mustang back in 1964 was designed to put an American spin on a European-like sports car.
Ford has done a remarkable job of protecting the details of the next generation high performance Mustang so while we don’t even know for sure what it will be called – be it the Shelby GT350 or the new SVT Cobra – I expect a high powered Mustang that is more like the previous Boss 302 than the previous Shelby GT500.
General Motors has announced the official power figures for the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and with 650 horsepower, it is the most powerful GM road model ever – while also being the second most powerful American road car ever and ranking in the top ten most powerful production cars sold in the world today.
This weekend marks the second stop for the 2014 Red Bull Global RallyCross season with a lengthy list of 19 drivers preparing to duke it out for the gold medal at the summer X Games in Austin Texas – with several popular GRC drivers making their only planned start of the season.
The Chrysler Group has promised that the new Dodge Viper SRT coming in 2015 will be refreshed and with the SRT Viper being practically brand new, it has left many people wondering what the 2015 refresh might hold – and I think that it will bring about the introduction of the newest Viper convertible or roadster.
General Motors will recall the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and Cadillac CTS-V over a concern that the 6.2L engine’s supercharger could fail, causing the engine not to start or - in a worst case scenario – causing massive internal engine damage.
The power figures for the 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost haven’t been announced but Ford Motor Company rolled out the official power specs for that same motor in the 2015 Lincoln MKC – giving us a very rough idea of what to expect when the turbocharged Mustang arrives.
In many of the discussions around the internet pertaining to the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, there are some people who insist that this 600+ horsepower Challenger will be a proper muscle car that will beat the Corvette Z06 – but I am here to tell those folks that even if the Hellcat packs more power, the Z06 is going to have a decisive advantage.
While sales of the stunning Chevrolet Corvette dipped just a bit in May 2014, the numbers are still substantially better than they were in the same month one year ago, allowing the C7 Corvette to continue to improve its annual growth rate – now up to 211.6% on the year.
