The GT350's 5.2-liter Voodoo flat-plane V-8 lived hard and died young, but some of its soul lives on in the Mach 1's revised 5.0-liter cross-plane-crank V-8. Departments & Features Ever since the Mustang ditched its live rear axle, it's seemed as if the Blue Oval was only interested in providing ultimate handling prowess on Shelby versions. The new Mach 1 is a GT350 replacement in everything but engine and carbon-fiber wheels. [Extracted from the article]

Departments & Features FIRST LOOK The S-Class of Mercedes' new EQ subbrand, the 2022 EQS electric sedan is aimed squarely at the Tesla Model S in size and range. Following the leads of the Mercedes-AMG performance and Mercedes-Maybach super-luxury sub-brands, the EVs will be housed under Mercedes-EQ. But since "Mercedes-EQ EQS" sounds dumb, the company would prefer you simply call this car the EQS. [Extracted from the article]

A public service announcement: There are no self-driving cars for sale today - anywhere. If you won't read the owner's manual, or the warning/agreement on your car's screen, or the manufacturer's website, then read this one more time: You do not own a self-driving car. [Extracted from the article]

A decade ago, then-BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer told us 80 percent of 1 Series owners believed their cars were front-wheel drive. BMW engineers say they've gone to tremendous effort to ensure the car doesn't feel like a routine front-drive hatchback and have even coaxed the all-wheel-drive system into drifting in just the right conditions. A sedan built on a crossover platform and styled like a crossover is going to struggle with its identity, but you know what?. [Extracted from the article]

The 2016 Nissan Titan was a monu mental improvement over the 12-year-old truck it replaced, but that redesigned model was already outdated the day it was unveiled; it was the truck Nissan should've released many years earlier, and it showed. The old truck's smooth ride and precise steering both carry over to make this a more complete truck. For those who tow, the optional trailer brake now adjusts both stopping power and how quickly the trailer brakes apply for finer tuning. [Extracted from the article]

The enthusiast wants to know if it's a real Mercedes, one worthy of a three-pointed star among stalwarts like the GLS, GLE, and our 2017 SUV of the Year, the GLC. The GLB is let down by the interior noise level, particularly tire and wind noise on the highway, which is excessive for a vehicle wearing a Mercedes badge. PHOTO (COLOR): The Off-Road driving mode sounds nice, but the GLB's ground clearance is barely better than a sedan, so don't bother going off-pavement for fun. [Extracted from the article]

My wife loves to-do lists. If you're coming to the CLA for that cool roofline, though, you won't be disappointed (and if traditional sedans are your thing, there's now the A-Class sedan). PHOTO (COLOR): The original CLA-Class fell short of what we tend to expect of a Mercedes, but a redesign for 2020 addresses many of those issues. [Extracted from the article]

Driven to the limit, the Supra's rear suspension couldn't cope with 198's rough asphalt, braking-zone undulations, and midcorner bump-steer moments. Although we found the Supra to be tail-happy on Route 39, two of the three judges in that previous comparison agreed it was predictable, easily controlled, countered with slower, more deliberate steering inputs, and, most of all, fun. We can only conclude, then, that the new Supra is particularly susceptible to large bumps in the braking zone and midcorner, and it took a road like 198 to expose this nasty shortcoming.

With supercars, EVs, and visions of the future, this year's Frankfurt Motor Show had something for everyone. If an 812 is just too much money, Ferrari also rolled out the F8 Spider with "only" 710 hp from a twin-turbo V-8. A terrain-reading camera and central tire inflation system automatically adjust tire pressures as needed. [Extracted from the article]

Meier confirms the car has a dual-motor powertrain with north of 600 hp, and, as on the top-spec Panamera Turbo S, Porsche's PCCB carbonceramic brakes and rear-wheel steering will be standard. We'll wait to get our hands on a production Taycan to make a final judgment, but this first acquaintance suggests Porsche has created an electric vehicle with impressive performance and handling, and one that's remarkably efficient. Combine that with noticeably better build quality and the cachet of that Porsche badge, and it all adds up to one thing: The Taycan is a game-changer. [Extracted from the article]

The article offers information on the Hot Wheels Legends Tour launched in 2018 as part of 50th anniversary of Hot Wheels.

It is evident that winners of each show are judged by celebrities of the automotive industry including Jay Leno, Richard Rawlings and own Jonny Lieberman.

The dual-opening tailgate drops down or swings open, making loading and unloading heavy cargo a snap; no other midsize truck offers any sort of tailgate flexibility. Honda's i-VTM4 torque-vectoring AWD system is an impressive piece of engineering that can send up to 70 percent of engine output to the rear wheels and then send 100 percent of that power to either rear wheel. Departments & Features Intake Let's get it out of the way: The second-gen Honda Ridgeline looked like a Pilot SUV that had been Sawzalled into a truck - a conversion surprisingly common among L.A.'s pool cleaners.

Compared to the Type R Touring, the Type R LE could go a full braking marker deeper into every braking zone and still make the corner just the same. Thanks in part to updated software for the shock absorbers, which takes into account the 22 pounds of unsprung weight savings, the Type R LE feels more balanced through the corners. The Type R LE goes a step further, installing forged BBS wheels that are 4.5 pounds lighter apiece, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, each a pound lighter - for a total of 22 pounds saved.

Departments & Features Every Wednesday night, Josh Gates takes his fans around the world to investigate the greatest legends and mysteries in history on his show Expedition Unknown. We got Josh on a video call direct from the set of his new show, Josh Gates Tonight, also known as his spare bedroom.

Tesla has updates pioneered for cars, over-the-air continually software improving cars already on the road and even adding new features. The power above 80 mph thing helps Teslas keep up with the Taycan's two-speed transmission, which gives it more advantageous high-speed gearing than Tesla's single-speed.

Sedans headwinds are sailing these against days, but serious Audi isn't ready to give up. Audi designers also looked to draw out the roof-line slightly and tighten up the rear end to give the A3 sedan a little more of that four-door coupe look that's in vogue. In addition to an in-car LTE-based Wi-Fi hot spot, the A3 comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and an Audi app that allows your phone to act as a key. [Extracted from the article]

Cruising up the interstate at L.A.'s standard pace of 80 mph with the A/C on, my range is down to 193 miles and the battery to 80 percent when I reach the foothills and begin my ascent toward the Crest. No matter, it's only 64 miles each way from the house to the lifts at Mount Waterman, well within the Taycan's EPA range, which says this car will go 192 miles on a full charge. I've driven 154 miles from sea level to the top of a 7,000-foot mountain and back, I've driven it hard, and the car still thinks it'll beat its EPA-estimated range. [Extracted from the article]
