Drivers

[ad_1] I’ll admit it. I love attention. I dress in bright colors, speak loudly, laugh louder, and will be the first one to hop on the dance floor, even if said dance floor is a table top. But I’ve always thought driving a Polaris Slingshot brings the wrong kind of […]

[ad_1] Driving with the throttle pinned on the 24-degree banking of Charlotte Motor Speedway with a nasty V-8 firing away under the hood and the stadium seats molded in different colors to simulate a crowd, I feel like Jeff Gordon in NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600. Maybe road race-specialist Boris Said is […]

[ad_1] Those who crave the spotlight gravitate toward luxury SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, supercars such as Ferraris or Lamborghinis, and big trucks like the Ford F-150 Raptor and Ram TRX. But where do you turn when your friends already have all the headturners? Enter the MegaRexx MegaRaptor. It’s about […]

[ad_1] Every year the Perseid meteor shower dazzles the Earth with a light show like no other. The tiny debris, left behind when the Swift-Tuttle comet passed our planet way back in 1992, zooms into our atmosphere at 133,200 mph, according to the website space.com, reaching temperatures of more than […]

[ad_1] The ultra-luxury SUV is a relatively new phenomenon. Lamborghini, Bentley, Aston-Martin, Rolls-Royce, and even Mercedes-Benz have developed offerings that start no lower than $150,000 and can reach $200,000 or even more. Now, BMW is getting into the game with its first standalone BMW M model since the M1 mid-engine […]

[ad_1] Before I tap the red start button, before I press the leather-tipped shift lever into first gear, before I stupidly dump coffee dregs in my lap as I prep for the tense half-hour ahead, I say a little prayer.  I’m about to grab the Tail of the Dragon—hallowed ground […]

[ad_1] A few months ago Honda flew me to Japan with the promise of driving a prototype of the 2024 Acura Integra Type S. Of course, before that could happen I had to sit through an R&D presentation about all the other stuff Honda is doing. I found myself listening […]

[ad_1] “Rock left, going to straddle it,” I called out to my driving partner, Shad Balch, director of Chevrolet Communications. Driving about 45 mph and focused on that rock I somehow missed another rock on my right. Bang! The radio crackled with a message from truck 99. “Truck 18, you’re […]

[ad_1] The path to electrification, for some automakers, doesn’t come with a lot of guardrails. The auto world has seen a fusillade of new EV brands—and some have already run out of rocket fuel, in the form of dollars and runway. There’s an EV brand reckoning coming, and it won’t […]

[ad_1] Maserati is on the move. It now has the MC20 supercar in its fleet and the beautifully rendered 2024 GranTurismo coupe in gas and electric forms. A GranCabrio convertible comes soon, and so does a new Levante SUV and a new Quattroporte flagship. In advance of all of these, […]

[ad_1] If you were an engineer looking to build a premium SUV, you’d have a list of wants. You’d want to start with a rear-wheel-drive-based architecture for better handling balance, and you’d add all-wheel drive for all-weather grip. You might want a V-8, but a turbocharged inline-6 would be a […]

[ad_1] The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 is different. The electric sedan may share its E-GMP underpinnings with the Ioniq 5 electric hatchback, but its aerodynamic design not only optimizes range, it stands out for the sake of standing out. Different is daring, and daring is good, especially in a nascent […]
