Bugatti looks back at how how it developed the W16 engine

As the end of the Chiron’s production run nears, Bugatti is taking a look back at the W16 engine that has powered its cars since it returned to the scene nearly 20 years ago. The engine is relatively compact, hugely powerful, and it has helped the firm set several world records. Former Volkswagen boss Ferdinand […] July 30, 2022 at 08:30PM

Future Classic | 1990-1993 Geo Storm and Isuzu Impulse

You don’t see a lot of Geo-branded cars on the road these days, despite the fact that the General Motors‘ captive-import brand was actually pretty successful for around a decade. Perhaps the most recognizable vehicle to roll into Geo showrooms was the Prizm, which basically amounted to a rebadged Toyota Corolla built in California (which […] July 24, 2022 at 01:15AM

Lamborghini Huracan could become an 850-hp PHEV next year

So far, Lamborghini is celebrating 2022 with record sales and odes to the internal combustion engine thanks to a raft of special editions. The Italian automaker’s plunge into electrification starts next year with the next-generation Huracán and its plug-in hybrid powertrain. Lamborghini’s head of research and development said, “The engine will be bespoke for Lamborghini. […] July 20, 2022 at 12:50AM

E85-powered Dodge Challenger rumored to get 909 hp

Earlier this month, Mopar Insiders said it got wind of a special edition Dodge Challenger that would help celebrate the end of the muscle car’s extraordinary production run. Said to have flex-fuel capability that could quaff E85, all MI could glean at the time was that the new Challenger would make more than the Dodge […] July 18, 2022 at 01:25AM

Lamborghini supercar prototype shows angry face in spy photos

Lamborghini made it clear last year that it’s working on a new supercar to replace the V12-powered Aventador. And the car shown above is definitely a new Lamborghini of some sort. However, we don’t think this is the Aventador replacement. Instead, we suspect this is another limited-run Aventador-based special model. The key tipoff is the […] July 06, 2022 at 12:50AM

Toyota GR GT3 Concept shows up in European patent drawings

At the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon, one of the Toyotas we feasted on was the Gazoo Racing GT3 Concept. Born of the Japanese automaker’s belief that it can provide more enthusiast enjoyment by commercializing race cars than by making customer cars racy, the quotes and suggestions at the time were that the GT3 Concept would result […] July 02, 2022 at 12:45AM

2023 Toyota Supra gets a manual, only for the six-cylinder

As promised, the manual-transmission 2023 Toyota GR Supra is here. Or, it will be later this year when it goes on sale. And Toyota has revealed many of the pertinent details of the human-shifted sports coupe. Importantly, it’s only available on the six-cylinder model, so four-cylinder buyers will have to be fine with stick the […] April 29, 2022 at 12:46AM

2023 Audi lineup gets lots of tweaks, no mention of R8

Audi’s data dump for its 2023 U.S. model lineup covers all the detail changes that will grace shoppers on dealer lots. Price changes are modest considering the circumstances, from $100 more for the A3 to $900 more for the battery-electric E-Tron SUV, but there’s more and/or better standard content throughout. The highlight rundown by model […] April 22, 2022 at 01:37AM

We at Autoblog adore the Lexus LC. It’s a truly spectacular grand tourer with concept car looks and your choice of either one of the best modern V8s or a sophisticated hybrid. But it seems Lexus thinks it can do even more with the LC, as indicated by this Instagram teaser of what seems to […] April 23, 2022 at 12:40AM

2023 Toyota GR86 could welcome a 10th anniversary trim

Ten years ago, the brand new 2013 Subaru BRZ had a twin brother called the Scion FR-S, which we said “absolutely wins the fun-per-dollar category.” Scion and the FR-S name have been dead these many long years now, but the BRZ and Toyota GR86 have only come more alive; we recently cooed that the second-gen […] April 12, 2022 at 12:45AM

Junkyard Gem: 1953 Chevrolet 210 Sawzall Roadster Conversion

One thing I’ve learned, after documenting more than 2,200 crusher-bound vehicles since 2007, is that most 1946-1975 Detroit sedans aren’t considered worth saving once they get a little battered. Coupes and convertibles are another story … unless you’re talking about a coupe that became a convertible — or, in this case, a roadster — in […] March 20, 2022 at 06:45AM

Audi RS E-Tron GT Road Test Review | The EV deluge is coming

HOOD RIVER, Oregon – The Columbia River Gorge formed when a glacial lake half the size of Lake Michigan repeatedly emptied during the last Ice Age. And we’re not talking about pulling the plug in a bathtub – more like setting an explosive charge at the Long Beach Aquarium. An ice dam of the Clark […] March 17, 2022 at 03:30PM

Audi E-Tron GT Luggage Test | Iffy for bags, great for hooch

The Audi E-Tron GT, including the RS E-Tron GT shown here, has a 9.2 cubic-foot trunk according to the specs. That’s pretty small, and more indicative of an Audi A5 or some other luxury coupe than a 196.1-inch long four-door sedan. And yeah, Audi calls it a coupe, but that’s still silly in our book […] March 10, 2022 at 08:30PM

Best in Show at The Amelia Concours d’Elegance is a 1934 Duesenberg

Best in Show winners for the 2022 Amelia Concours d’Elegance were just announced, and we were there to see the pair roll up and claim their prizes. The Amelia, like some other concours events, hands out two “best in show” awards. The main (and most prized) award goes to the overall Best in Show, and […] March 07, 2022 at 06:45AM

Lexus reportedly working on two different successors to the LFA

The successor to the Lexus LFA is beginning to take shape — in unofficial rumors, at least. The firm’s next supercar will reportedly make its debut in the coming years with a V8 under the hood, and it will be followed by a battery-electric model due out at the turn of the decade. Citing anonymous […] March 05, 2022 at 06:10AM

2023 Nissan Z launch timeline appears on Facebook, quickly disappears

Check any forum focused on the Nissan Z and you’ll find threads full of reservation holders and enthusiasts who can’t wait for the Z’s arrival. You can then imagine the horde that ran to a quickly deleted Facebook post wherein one Tommy Bennet posted the above slide with the caption, “This is what I know.” […] March 04, 2022 at 07:31AM

2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Stingray offer bounteous options

Someone with access to GM’s Work Book system to order new vehicles decided to put together some sample orders for the new 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and 2023 Corvette Stingray. Since the automaker won’t accept orders for the coming coupes until March 24, this person decided the best thing to do was take screenshots of […] March 01, 2022 at 06:46AM
