| Here’s What a 1500-hp Turbo Mustang Drag Can Do to a GT-R [Video] |
Mar 6th, 2015 |
|
Koenigsegg seems pretty proud of the Regera, what with its 1500-hp hybrid driveline and fancy single-speed transmission. This Mustang thinks that’s cute. There’s a Coyote-based V-8 under the hood punched out to an undisclosed displacement. We do know there’s an 82-mm precision turbo force-feeding the block, though, and along with a little help from some nitrous, […]

| Video: Watch a Fixed-Crankshaft Engine Do Its Thing |
Mar 6th, 2015 |
|
You’re looking at one very clever piece of engineering. It’s an Adams-Farwell air-cooled, piston-driven, rotary engine—one of our 10 Most Unusual Engines of All Time. The crankshaft is fixed, connected to the frame of the car, while the crankcase rotates around it to drive the vehicle. In this case, that’s a 1906 Adams-Farwell 6A Convertible Roundabout. […]

| Hocus Focus: More Pricing Details for the 2015 Ford Focus than You Ever Wanted to Know |
Mar 6th, 2015 |
|
The Ford Focus received a friendly, Fusion-y refresh for 2015. Other than some minor body changes, suspension and steering tuning, new safety and body kit options, and a 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine option, it’s the same little car we like. Price increases range from $95 on the Titanium to $745 on the ST, with the electric […]

| Koenigsegg Would Rather Build a Sedan than Compete with the Porsche 911 |
Mar 6th, 2015 |
|
Koenigsegg certainly wowed the automotive world at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. Between the 1160-hp Agera RS and the absolutely mind-blowing Regera with 1500 horses and no conventional transmission, it’s safe to say that Christian von Koenigsegg’s namesake hypercar company is uninterested in following convention. Which is why it’s a bit surprising to hear that the madman-in-chief could […]

| Nissan Recalls 625,000 Altimas for Wonky Hood Latches |
Mar 6th, 2015 |
|
Nissan is expanding a recall to include more late-model Altima sedans with faulty hood latches, according to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In September, Nissan recalled 220,423 Altimas from 2013 for secondary hood latches—the ones you actually touch after the primary latch pops the hood—that can bind due to an assembly […]

| How a Gaming Company Thinks It Can Reinvent the Gauge Cluster |
Mar 6th, 2015 |
|
For the past century, the design of your typical automotive dashboard gauge hasn’t changed much at all: numbers arranged on a dial, with a needle indicator. But more and more cars are ditching the mechanical gauges for digital displays, and it seems as if the bell is tolling for the old dials-and-pointers tradition. The increase […]

| 2015 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Trail Boss: Promoted from Middle Management |
Mar 6th, 2015 |
|
Has the 2015 Chevy Colorado been biding its time at the middle-management level of off-road prowess, just waiting for the opportunity to move to the (outdoor) executive suite? Puzzled by this weird mashup of corporate talk and pickup trucks? So are we, but that’s where the newest edition of Chevy’s mid-size truck has led us: Meet the Colorado Z71 […]

| Volkswagen Announces Passat Limited Edition: Greater Value, Few Actual Limits |
Mar 6th, 2015 |
|
Hark! On yon horizon breaks the new 2015 VW Passat Limited Edition, which certainly is an edition but isn’t particularly limited. As a replacement for the brand’s Wolfsburg and basic SE trims (the SE with Sunroof and Nav model will continue), it will occupy the second rung on the Passat ladder and aims to become the nameplate’s volume […]
