| Thank You for Smoking: Ford Explains the Focus RS’s “Drift Mode” |
Mar 4th, 2015 |
|
The Geneva auto show brought confirmation that the new Ford Focus RS will feature what the company is calling “drift mode.” This immediately triggered thoughts of wannabe Hoonigans wrapping their cars, and possibly themselves, around solid objects as they tried to make their own gymkhana videos. Fortunately, a sit-down with Ford Performance boss Dave Pericak and the […]

| Ford’s Nifty Solution for Urban Traffic: App-Connected, Folding Electric Bikes |
Mar 4th, 2015 |
|
Urban traffic, quite simply, is horrible. It’s bad enough outside the doors of Car and Driver‘s Manhattan satellite office, but in Europe, where city centers were mostly laid out centuries before anyone dreamed up the automobile, it’s downright atrocious. But people still need to get around, either to go to work or to do their work. Ford […]

| Smart Teases Future Brabus Variants with New Concepts |
Mar 4th, 2015 |
|
The forte of the Smart is fitting people and luggage in the tiniest possible space, zipping through city traffic, and finding parking in the most unlikely spots. Fun-to-drive character? Not so much. For straight-line performance and cornering ability, you have needed to look elsewhere. Anywhere else, in fact. With the third generation of the Fortwo, that’s […]

| Volvo V60 Gets Another Twin Engine Option in Europe, Still Doesn’t Actually Get Two Engines |
Mar 4th, 2015 |
|
It’s been said before and we’ll say it again: Volvo’s “Twin Engine” moniker for its plug-in hybrid powertrains sounds way cooler than it actually is. In the case of the 2016 XC90 T8 Twin Engine, Volvo at least backs up its optimistic name (which has us thinking of twin V-8s, one at each end of […]

| FCA Warns Its Own Customers About Shady Hellcat Dealers |
Mar 4th, 2015 |
|
Damn near everybody loves the 707-hp Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and its four-door Charger sibling. And who wouldn’t? They pack supercar-beating horsepower into vehicles you can buy at the same neighborhood dealerships that blow Darts and Journeys out the door. Shockingly, it seems some dealers are all too willing to accept deposits on the very-limited Hellcats, […]

| Hard-Core BMW M4 GTS to Get Water-Injection System, Debut in August |
Mar 4th, 2015 |
|
The German manufacturers tend to take the Geneva auto show less seriously than the sausage-waving contest that is Frankfurt, and with the highlight of BMW’s display being the new 2-series Grand Tourer—a dull, seven-seat front-wheel-drive mini-minivan—there didn’t seem to be much news to be gathered from the Bavarians. Except, tucked away at the back of […]
