Porsche 911 Sport Classic Caught Testing

December 22, 2021 admin

Our spy photographers caught the upcoming Porsche 911 Sport Classic out for a new testing session on the public roads of Germany. As you can see the car is missing most of the camouflage which means the testing sessions are pretty much done, and all that is left is mostly fine tuning.

The prototype follows the design lines of the 911 models, but there will be a few distinctive features. First one is of course that little ducktail at the back – a signature of the Sport Classic models. The 911 Sport Classic will also feature a double bubble roof and the lines of the special hood will match perfectly the lines of the roof.

The only camouflage we can see on this prototype is some tape around the sides of the ducktail spoiler and in the middle of the rear light arrangement.

As for the engine, rumors suggest the 911 Sport Classic will get the same engine as the 911 GTS: a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six that delivers 480 horsepower
and 420 pound-feet of torque.

Rumors suggest Porsche will only build 2,000 units of the 911 Sport Classic.

Here’s Your First Look At The 2022 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren HDK

December 22, 2021 admin

His post says: “Ooh what is this for??? I could not possibly say… look out 2022.” Which means of course that the new SLR McLaren will make its world debut sometime next year.

For the moment we have very limited information on the new SLR McLaren, but rumors suggest it will be called HDK – High Downforce Kit. Previous rumors suggested Mercedes will build a total of 12 units, but Khoshbin’s post suggest his car will be a “one-off.” So, it is very possible that all those 12 units will be tailored to each customer’s personal taste.

Here's Your First Look At The 2022 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren HDK

The scale model posted by Khoshbin reveals an aggressive look, with a vented hood, a massive rear wing, a large rear diffuser, bulkier side skirts, and a single-exit exhaust pipe on each side. In fact it looks quite a lot with the SLR 722 GT – the car on which rumors suggest it will be based on. If so, expect the SLR HDK to deliver more than 617 horsepower – the power of the SLR 722 GT.

One thing is for sure, all 12 units were spoken for, so there is no hope you could get one.

2022 Honda Civic Si: Keeper of the Flame

October 19, 2021 admin

The next Honda Civic Si is here, and on paper, it seems to keep the flame going nicely.

Not just in terms of performance specs, but also in terms of how the Si tends to differentiate itself from other Civics. This Si appears to be similar to the previous-gen car in terms of how it’s set apart from the lineup.

Well, there is one difference — the car appears to offer a bit more in terms of niceties, when it comes to comfort and convenience features, than previous versions.

For example, Si is offered with a 9-inch touchscreen for infotainment, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Bose audio system as standard.

Ah, but you care about the performance stuff. Here it is: An updated 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (2oo horsepower, 192 lb-ft of torque) with a lighter flywheel and what Honda claims are broader power curves, suspension changes that are meant to improve both ride and handling, a 60-percent stiffer torsion bar for the steering system, a short-throw 6-speed manual transmission that uses the same rev-matching system as the Civic Type R, a limited-slip differential, and a new drive mode that customizes settings for the individual driver.

Of course, the Si wouldn’t be the Si without certain appearance and styling bits. In this case, it means a more aggressive front bumper and a rear bumper that’s been changed to show off the exhaust tips. There’s a front spoiler hidden under the car and a black rear spoiler in plain sight. Gloss-black trim adorns the sideview mirrors and window surrounds, and LED head- and taillights are standard. The standard 18-inch wheels are matte black with 10 spokes, and a new orange color is available for Sis — and only Sis.

Inside, the car gets Si-specific sport seats with Si logos, and there is red contrast stitching throughout the cabin. The gauge cluster includes a 7-inch display screen.

Honda claims an 8 percent increase in torsional rigidity and a 13 percent increase in bending rigidity. The rear track is widened by half an inch and the wheelbase is 1.4 inches longer. Spring rates are increased by 8 percent upfront and 54 percent in the rear, and new dampers are tuned specifically for the Si. The front MacPherson struts have reinforced upper mounts. The 27 mm front hollow stabilizer bar and 18 mm rear solid stabilizer bar are both thicker than before.

Stiffer front and rear bushings are borrowed from the Type R, along with rear upper arms and lower B-arms.

Adding more “go” necessitates adding more “whoa”, so the car gets bigger brakes than regular Civics — 12.3-inch rotors up front (+1.2) and 11.1-inch units in the rear (+0.9 inches). Summer tires are optional, otherwise, all-seasons are standard.

The company’s HondaSensing suite of safety tech is standard, too.

The 2022 Honda Civic Si will be built in Ontario, Canada, with the engine being produced in Anna, Ohio.

After 5 Years, the Mercedes-AMG One Finally Goes Into Production

October 16, 2021 admin

Delays and More Delays – the AMG One Has Felt Like A Lost Cause

After 5 Years, the Mercedes-AMG One Finally Goes Into Production Exterior Spyshots
- image 986265

Six months after announcing the Project One’s goal of decimating the Nürburgring and every car that’s ever ventured onto it, it finally received a name. The Project one simply became the AMG One. But, here comes the trouble because a month after that, the AMG One was delayed until 2020. This delay stemed from AMG’s inability to adapt that F1 engine for road use while still complying with WLTP standards. Reportedly, there was also an issue with keeping the engine’s idle speed, which is some 5,000 rpm in race spec at a respectable – and smooth – 1,200 rpm.

As time went on, Mercedes and AMG released bits of information to keep the public interested, and by September 2019, we finally got to hear the AMG One in action. It actually sounded a lot like a spaceship. Suddenly, a month later,
the AMG One was delayed until 2021, something that was supposedly necessary for the same reasons as before – cost of development and difficulty making an F1 engine road worthy. Well, guess what? We’re now in the fourth-quarter of 2021 and we still don’t see the AMG One in production.

After 5 Years, the Mercedes-AMG One Finally Goes Into Production Exterior Spyshots
- image 986260

Mercedes and AMG didn’t give up, though, as a new report from Autocar claims that the AMG One will actually entry production in 2022, some five years after we first laid eyes on the official concept. As of now, nothing else has changed. Mercedes-AMG will still build just 275 examples, each and every one of which has already been sold for some €2.27 million – about $2.6 million at current exchange rates. The One should still deliver as much as 1,200 horsepower, offer up to as much as 16 miles of all-electric range, and should top out at around 218 mph, 124 mph of which will come in just six seconds from a dead stop.

At this point, we’re really curious to see if the One really does enter production in 2022 and, when it does, if it’ll be able to match the specs from the concept that I’ve listed above. And, just how long will it take to build all 275 units? I sure wouldn’t want to be at the bottom of that list.

Mercedes-AMG one specifications
Powertrain	1.6-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 + three F1 electric motors
Power	1,200 HP
0 to 60 mph	2.7 seconds
0 to 124 mph	6.0 seconds
Top Speed	218 mph
Electric range	16 miles

Alfa Romeo Tonale

September 25, 2021 admin

Exterior Design

2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale Exterior Spyshots
- image 1020380

The future Tonale will be a compact crossover SUV built on the Small Wide 4X4 platform – the same one used for Jeep Renegade. It will be placed under the Stelvio in the lineup and will take on models like Audi Q3, BMW X1, and Mercedes-Benz GLA.

Alfa Romeo actually has big plans for it, as it should be the model that will help them increase the sales numbers from the current 150,000 units a year to 400,000 units.

And, if the production version will be anything like the concept car we really think the Tonale will enjoy great success on the market.

2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale Exterior Spyshots
- image 1020384

If you look closely at the spy shots and the concept car you will notice the essence of the concept is still there. Of course, we expect a lot of the design from the Giulia and the Stelvio to be carried over, but we also hope those cool-looking headlamps from the concept car will be kept. It looks like it, but it also looks like they are a little bit wider.

The production version seems to have dropped the coupe-like profile of the concept car, and the rear seems to be very similar to that of the Stelvio.

Interior look

2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale Exterior Spyshots
- image 1020393

Our spy photographers were not able to take any clear pictures of the interior, but the short glimpse we have reveals an updated look when compared to the Stelvio. It seems that the 8.8-inch touchscreen display we’ve seen in the 2021 Stelvio will be replaced with something bigger. Should we hope to see the 10.3-inch one carried from the concept version to production? It is very possible! But what we would really like to see in the production version Tonale is the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and, in general, the clean, elegant look of the concept car.

As for the cargo room, it should be at least enough to match its competitors. For example, the Audi Q3 has a cargo room of 23.7 cubic feet, but it can be expanded to 48 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. The BMW X1 is a little bit more spacious: 27.1 cubic feet with the seats up, or 58.7 cubic feet with the seats folded.

Powertrain

2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale Exterior Spyshots
- image 1020396

As the Tonale will share its Small Wide 4X4 platform with the Jeep Renegade, we can expect to be offered with the same engines as the Renegade: a range of four-cylinder engines as well as a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

In the plug-in hybrid Renegade, the system combines a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor.

There are two versions available: one with 190 and the other one with 240 horsepower. However, the plug-in hybrid system was the reason why the Tonale was delayed, as Imparato wanted more power for the compact SUV. This could very easily mean that we will see more power coming from the tiny Tonale.

The plug-in hybrid Renegade has an all-electric range of 31 miles, so expect similar numbers in the Tonale too.

Conclusion

2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale Exterior Spyshots
- image 1020392

The prototypes caught testing in Italy are wearing heavy camouflage, so it is very difficult to guess how the final Tonale will look. However, rumors suggest that by the time winter test season comes we will have a better look at the final product.

No matter what, we expect to see a model with an improved look when compared to the Stelvio, but at the same time with more power when compared to Renegade plug-in hybrid.

Rumors suggest the production version Tonale will debut in the early months of 2022, maybe at the Geneva Motor Show, with sales set to begin in June 2022.

GMC Shows off the Hummer EV’s Watts to Freedom Mode To Celebrate Independence Day

July 4, 2021 admin

What Is Watts To Freedom?

GMC Shows off the Hummer EV's Watts to Freedom Mode To Celebrate Independence Day
- image 999155

Of the four trims offered on the Hummer EV, two trims come with a tri-motor setup and electric four-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring.

In these models, GMC has offered something known as the WTF or Watts To Freedom mode. It is essentially a launch control with a fancy name. Activate this and you’ll be able to sprint from naught to 60 mph in three seconds flat! On the electric Hummer SUV, it takes 3.5 seconds for the same sprint.

This is mind-blowing because the Hummer EV weighs over 9,000 pounds and isn’t aerodynamically efficient exactly. It goes unsaid that it will take a toll on the range.

What Does GMC Show In This Video?

The 30-second video shows the WTF mode in action. When engaged, there are some nice graphics shown inside. Instead of using the words ‘Activated’ or ‘Engaged’, the truck prompts ‘Armed’. It then guides you to launch successfully, which requires you to floor the pedals and then release the brake to launch. Nothing out of the box here, but the way it’s presented makes the whole process feels special and surreal. The truck even lowers its stance before sprinting to glory.

What’s The GMC Hummer EV All About?

The GMC Hummer EV comes with a whole lot of impressive things. Here are its salient features in a nutshell:

Tri-motor setup
1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque
0-60 mph in three seconds
Watts to Freedom
DC Fast Charge up to 350 kW, which means 100 miles of recuperation in 10 minutes
White exterior
Illuminated grille
22-inch wheels, 35-inch tires
MultiPro tailgate
‘Infinity Roof’ – Transparent Sky Panels
Adaptive Air Suspension with six inches of travel
Diagonal movement using ‘CrabWalk’ feature
‘UltraVision’ function with 18 different camera views
Exclusive Interior Badge
13.4-inch touchscreen system
12.3-inch screen digital instrument cluster
14-speaker Bose audio system
Super Cruise hands-free driving
Extreme Off-Road Package

GMC managed to hype something as common as a Launch Control so well. So, kudos for that! The truck is still some time away. This is the estimated schedule for now:

Hummer EV Edition 1 – Fall 2021
Hummer EV 3X – Fall 2022
Hummer EV 2X – Spring 2023
Hummer EV2 – Spring 2024

If you’re wondering how much they cost, this is the trim-wise split-up:

Hummer EV2 – $79,995
Hummer EV 2X – $89,995
Hummer EV 3X – $99,995
Hummer EV Edition 1 – $112,595 (Sold Out)

If you think that’s expensive, the VIN001 Hummer EV sold for $2.5 million at an auction for charity a few months!

If you were in the market to buy a Hummer EV, which one would you pick – the truck or the SUV? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below. Lastly, happy Independence Day!

The Audi A4 E-Tron Could Strengthen Porsche’s Lineup Too!

Audi A4 E-Tron or A New Porsche Electric Sedan? How About Both?

The Audi A4 E-Tron Could Strengthen Porsche's Lineup Too!
- image 947600

There’s a lot of news coming out of both Porsche and Audi these days. Outside of news that Audi is plotting an electric A4 to sell alongside the ICE-powered next-gen A4 – much like Porsche is doing with the Macan – we’ve also learned that Porsche is about ready to unveil the Porsche Boxster EV, a car that will force other sportscar makers to accelerate their plans for electrification. Now, a new report brought to the world by Autocar suggests that Porsche could be plotting a new, smaller sedan to slot below the Porsche Taycan, and you’ll be able to trace its roots right back to Audi.

The Audi A4 E-Tron Could Strengthen Porsche's Lineup Too!
- image 898477

With this new, sub-Taycan sedan will be tasked with taking out the Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4, and it should feature a fastback design much like the Audi A4 E-tron that it will be based on. Of course, the latter part shouldn’t be all that surprising since the new Porsche sedan, should Porsche follow through, will ride on the PPE platform – the same one underpinning the upcoming A4 E-Tron, the Audi A6 E-Tron, Audi Q6 E-Tron, and the Porsche Macan EV. That’s the beauty of the PPE platform as it’s engineered specifically to accommodate vehicles with standard or higher ground clearance.

One engineer told Autocar,

“The modular nature of the PPE platform will allow us to extend our electric car line-up with a range of different models. It is engineered for standard and high ground clearance. A second sedan [saloon] model is one possibility.”

The Audi A4 E-Tron Could Strengthen Porsche's Lineup Too!
- image 947595

According to the same insiders, Porsche’s third electric model would share the same platform as well as other key components from the Macan EV, like the driveline and battery, among other things. Like the A4 E-Tron, Porsche should offer this new smaller sedan in a single motor, RWD configuration and a dual, AWD configuration. As for power output, you can expect around 300 horsepower on the low side, but the range-topping model will be comparable to the Audi RS4 E-Tron, which we estimate to have at least 469 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. It will share the Macan’s battery, so a range of around 300 miles will be the best that you can hope for, especially given the smaller size. As for the name, well Porsche trademarked the Cajun name way back in 2011, so that’s one possibility, but it’s entirely possible that the brand could go with something entirely different.

Porsche’s Boxster EV Will Force Audi And BMW To Step Up Their Game

May 15, 2021 admin

The Porsche Boxster EV Is Just the Start of Electric Sports Cars

Porsche's Boxster EV Will Force Audi And BMW To Step Up Their Game High Resolution Exterior
- image 663430

Shortly following news that the fate of the next-gen Porsche 718 was officially on the table, a new report came to say that Porsche was working on a “Boxster EV” and that a concept is coming soon. And, even though there’s a strong case for a Porsche 911 EV – if you factor out the consideration of battery weight – going electric with the 718 makes even more sense. Especially when it’s said that an ICE version of the 718 will be sold alongside the electric model, much like Porsche is planning to do with the Macan EV. Of course, I should tell you that the Macan EV might not be a Macan, but that’s a conversation for another time. The point is that the news of the Boxster EV got me thinking, and the bottom line is that it’s going to spearhead the shift of the entire small sportscar segment.

- image 810785

As of now, BMW isn’t planning to follow-up on the current BMW Z4 – once it goes out of production, that’s supposed to be it. And last we heard, Audi was completely unsure of what to do with the Audi R8 and the Audi TT, meaning neither may survive beyond their current generations or the next generation at best. With the Toyota Supra being based on the Z4, there’s a good chance it’ll be a one-and-done ordeal too, and Mazda hasn’t exactly been open about electrification plans for the MX-5, either.

- image 810788

So what happens later this year when Porsche unveils a Boxster EV concept that is, reportedly, near-production ready? Will it take less than the five years it took the Mission E to morph into the Taycan and MX-5 electric too. Perhaps a couple of automakers are secretly working on their own electric compact sports cars or maybe they aren’t. If they are, then all the better for us, and if they aren’t, expect to watch them all scatter like roaches when the lights come on as they start scrambling to take their rightful pieces of the pie before Porsche comes to dominate a lightly touched segment.

A Lexus IS-F With A Twin-Turbo V-8? It Could Be A Thing

May 11, 2021 admin

What Does The Patent Reveal?

A Lexus IS-F With A Twin-Turbo V-8? It Could Be A Thing
- image 987595

According to the forum, the claim was filed in September 2020. This patent reveals drawings wherein both the turbochargers are placed between the cylinder banks. This design would lead to better throttle response and reduced turbo lag.

A single-turbo option is also a possibility as seen in the images, which means Toyota could offer the mill with single- and twin-turbo options.

Which Cars Could Get It?

2020 Lexus LC F Exterior Exclusive Renderings Computer Renderings and Photoshop
- image 662619

While the claim is filed by Toyota, it goes unsaid that the engine will be shared across the automaker’s brands. Lexus is the most likely possibility at this point. With the launch of the 2022 IS 500 F Sport, Lexus marked the introduction of the ‘F Sport Performance Line’ Series. It features a naturally-aspirated V-8 engine that makes 472 horses and 395 pound-feet of torque. While it is good, these specs aren’t enough to sustain in the market for a marquee brand. Perhaps, this V-8 single- or twin-turbo engine could be offered here, too, thus marking a new flagship trim-engine combo.

The new engine could also be seen in the rumored LS F, LC F, and the IS F.

Motoring had reported a couple of months back that the IS F moniker will be resurrected and it will feature a new twin-turbo V-8. This new sits perfectly in line with the patent claim. According to the publication, the engine will be able to handle up to 670 horses and 516 pound-feet of torque. But, considering it will be available in many products, Lexus will offer it in different states of tune. In the IS F, for instance, we could have 535 horses and 445 pound-feet of torque.

Why Does Lexus Need This When It Already Has A Naturally Aspirated V-8?

The 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance Takes Aim At the BMW M3 and Audi RS5 Exterior
- image 972461

There is still no definitive answer if turbocharged engines are better than naturally aspirated engines or not. A purist would pick the free-flowing, high-revving naturally aspirated engine as his or her pick, whereas folks who want outright straight-line performance and shove-in-the-seat feeling would prefer turbo-powered mills. The lack of a turbocharged engine would haunt Lexus and avoid it from being a genuine threat to the Germans.

With the resurrection of the IS F model and a twin-turbocharged V-8, Lexus will be able to take on the likes of the Mercedes-AMG C63 and the BMW M3 Competition, and perhaps, be better than both of them. Currently, the AMG C63 is the only one powered by a twin-turbo V-8, but makes less than 500 horses. The M3 Competition makes over 500 horses, but features a twin-turbo six-pot mill. The IS F, if revived, could offer the best of both worlds – a twin-turbo V-8 and over 500 horses. Doesn’t it already raise the stakes for Lexus?

- image 972426 — **With the resurrection of the IS F model and a twin-turbocharged V-8, Lexus will be able to take on the likes of the Mercedes-AMG C63 and the BMW M3 Competition**

For your reference, the AMG C63 is powered by a 4.0-liter, V-8 bi-turbo engine that churns out 469 ponies and 479 pound-feet of twist. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a nine-speed automatic gearbox that helps that car sprint to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.9 seconds. The BMW M3 Competition features a six-cylinder engine, but with a twin-turbo setup. It dishes out 503 horses and 479 pound-feet of torque. Here, the engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. It takes 3.8 seconds to 60 mph from rest.

If you’re wondering about the price, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG C63 starts at $68,600 whereas the BMW M3 Competition starts at $72,800. You can expect the IS-F with this engine to be priced in this ballpark, too.

Any Toyota Product In The Reckoning For This Engine?

2022 Toyota Tundra - Everything You Need to Know
- image 979405

Contrary to the hushed talks about the Tundra ditching its 5.7-liter V-8 in favor of a downsized V-6, the automaker could come up with a performance version of the truck with this new engine powering it. This will add the Tundra to the performance truck mix which currently has the Ram 1500 TRX and the Ford F-150 Raptor R joining it soon.

Other than this, we could perhaps see it in some GR-branded products in the future. The automaker is also pumping in big money in its R&D. For instance, around $2.8 billion is being spent on developing its Shimoyama R&D center. It features a test track for now, but some more are being developed, which includes a high-speed circuit as well. It is expected to be completed by 2023. If you connect all these dots, we could be in for a new generation of high-powered turbocharged V-8s from Toyota in the next couple of years.

Which Toyota or Lexus product would you like to see powered by a turbocharged V-8 engine? Let us know in the comments section below.

The Truth About (Concept) Cars

March 30, 2021 admin

It is auto-show season.

Or at least, it would be in a “normal” year.

Normally, we’d be in New York, bringing you all the concepts from the New York International Auto Show, usually held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center on Manhattan’s west side.

This year, with the world still mostly on pause, we’re at home, missing the sights and sounds.

But that gives us a chance to step back and reconsider something about auto shows: The concept cars themselves.

Many of you may already know this, but for some of you — particularly younger readers — it might be worth it to take a step back and have a refresher of the truth about concept cars.

For those of you who don’t remember the history of auto shows, there was a time when concept cars were glorious machines that previewed what automakers (and sometimes media) saw as a fantastic future. Even if many of these cars had to be pushed on and off stage.

Over time, the idea of the fantastical concept car preview a fantastical future has faded. Mostly gone are the days where a sleek concept was laden with technology that wouldn’t be on sale for years, if ever. Mostly gone are the days when the concept cars were so crazy-looking that one wondered how they could ever make production. Which, to be clear, most didn’t.

Concept cars were once meant to get attention at an automaker’s show stand. Some of the technology and mechanical features might eventually make it into production, and occasionally so did toned-down styling elements.

The game has changed due to cost and other reasons. Show-stopping concepts downshifted, becoming previews of next-gen cars. At first, these concepts were still a bit more wild than mild, but they were closer to production cars in terms of design, technology, and mechanical underpinnings than the concepts that came before.

Now, most concept cars are thinly-veiled previews of the production unit — if they exist at all. Sometimes, automakers don’t even bother with a concept, opting to simply take the wraps off a car that’s pretty much production-ready.

Those concepts that remain tend to hew closely to production plans. Maybe there’s a styling element here or a tech feature there that won’t make production, but what you see on the show stand isn’t terribly different from what you’ll eventually see on the showroom floor.

That’s a shame, since the wonderfully crazy concepts were great for driving attention to brands. Everyone from the automotive media to the average auto-showgoer could be wowed by a concept, and these show cars likely drove many a daydream.

Some radical concepts still exist, and we can’t wait to see them in person again.

That said, the truth about concept cars is that most are just boring now. Make concept cars great again.
