Unlike automakers that have been bump-pricing their entire lineup, Ford is swimming against the tide and slashes the price of one of its most expensive and powerful trucks, the F-150 Raptor. The automaker is cutting roughly $4,000 off the base price. However, it is not all good news. Ford will reportedly sell the 2027 ( continue reading... )
It could have been a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, a Porsche, or a Pagani. But an American truck skipped the line to become the first to get the strongest passenger vehicle brake that Brembo has ever produced. The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST ended up with six pistons and more braking power than a supercar. That is all thanks to the Brembo Boldika, the strongest passenger car brake caliper ever made. The…
BMW of North America has formally recalled a bunch of rear-biased vehicles in the United States market, with the campaign targeting select high-performance and executive models from the 2021 through 2026 model years. Encompassing the 5 Series, 7 Series, and 8 Series, the field safety action centers around premature wear at the interface connecting the driveshaft and rear differential. As per the…
There was a time when a base trim level was truly base, a tactic designed to nudge buyers toward higher-margin options. But Opel's latest play with its family-oriented subcompact crossover proves that basic can be legitimately brilliant. Expanding its portfolio, the Stellantis-controlled German marque has introduced the Frontera Start in select European markets. Anchoring the newly restructured…
There is a magic to the Audi Sport 2.5-liter TFSI's distinct 1-2-4-5-3 firing order. Mashing the loud pedal in the RS 3 results in a mechanical symphony that echoes off the firewall, a sound that stands out well above the 2.0-liter TFSI of the S3. A gravelly warble that harkens back to Group B monsters of the 1980s, if you will. For decades, the Audi Sport five-cylinder turbo has served as an…
Munich is done playing defense in the BEV realm. The folks at BMW China have recently demonstrated how far battery-electric vehicles have come with the iX3 50L, which covered a simply ludicrous 1,030.2 kilometers (640.1 miles) on the public roads between the BMW Shenyang production facility and the BMW Beijing R&D Center. Better still, the factory-spec model finished the road trip with 5 percent…
An almost-new Tesla Model X that split in two after a crash is now sold on Copart as a two-part kit, possibly for someone with superhuman IKEA skills. The highest bid at the time of writing is only $10,200, an interesting price for a 2026 Model X Plaid that sold for at least $115,000 when new. July was a weird month for Tesla owners, with two EVs (one Cybertruck and one Model X) splitting in half…
Few automotive badges carry the gravitas of the BMW M colored stripes, and fewer still evoke the driver-centric devotion of the M3. Four decades after the original homologation special broke cover to conquer the German Touring Car Championship, the Munich-based automaker is marking its 40th birthday at the 2026 Chengdu International Auto Show in the PRC. The celebration arrives in the form of the…
The GAC Aion UT is a fresh electric supermini aiming to make a name for itself in the United Kingdom, and the Chinese company believes that participation at the British Motor Show in Farnborough, August 21-23, will swiftly ensure its success. At that price, we're not so sure, though. ( continue reading... )
Sitting proudly in the inventory of Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Garage Kept Motors, this 1968 Dodge Charger R/T is a "Resto with the right amount of Mod," at least according to the classic car dealership. The Dodge Charger nameplate has been around since 1966, and it has lived no less than eight lives across as many generat... ( continue reading... )
