• 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible First Drive: An American Bad-Ass Goes Topless

  24-03-2017 23:15
  
  -Have you ever wanted to pilot your very own F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter aircraft? The multirole jet boasts insane speed, precision handling, and a price tag that only professional baseball pitchers could afford. For a starting price of $69,435, Chevrolet has a much more affordable alternative: the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 convertible, an open-air rocket ship capable of serious speed and eye-popping handling, without the need for a pilot’s license, security clearance, or a Major League co

• Musk: Tesla Model 3 Won’t Upstage Model S

  24-03-2017 22:56
  -Tesla’s “affordable” car, the Model 3, is due later this year and will pack some important developments, including a new battery format and a streamlined instrument panel that looks ahead to an autonomous-vehicle future. Yet Tesla CEO Elon Musk could be a bit concerned about making sure this model isn’t misunderstood as the Silicon Valley automaker’s best offering—one that Model S shoppers might choose instead.-In a series of tweets posted today, Musk un

• 2017 Nissan Maxima in Depth: A Highly Styled Large-Car Bargain

  24-03-2017 22:00
  -Long touted by Nissan as a four-door sports car, the Maxima has a firm ride and a brawny V-6 engine to give it a sharper edge than most of its rivals, including the Kia Cadenza and the Toyota Avalon. In reality, it’s an upscale large sedan with competent driving dynamics, and it falls well short of what we’d call sporty or engaging to drive. However, the Maxima boasts plenty of luxury for its price, and the deal is sweetened by a bevy of high-end available features such as quilted s

• 2017 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell Driven: Less-Weird Science!

  24-03-2017 21:34
  
  -At each new hydrogen-fuel-cell car introduction comes the assertion from the proud maker that its car is no longer a science experiment. The 2017 Honda Clarity fuel cell finally gives credence to that platitude. It actually realizes the potential that hydrogen-fuel-cell engineers have long worked toward: to make the fuel-cell hardware entirely invisible from the driving experience. Built on a dedicated platform that also will spawn a battery-electric version and a plug-in hybrid later this year

• Navigation Systems May Dull Our Brains, Study Says

  -We’ve all battled over driving directions. One person insists on following the prescribed GPS route while another, shouting to be heard over the voice guidance, claims there’s a better way that the dumb computer couldn’t possibly know. Either method might get you there, but one may actually improve brain function. -A new study by University College London found that two areas of the brain—the memory- and direction-related hippocampus and the decision-making prefront

• Audi Sport Quattro Is Dead, But There’s a Slim Chance U.S. Could Get Next RS6 Wagon

  -Aside from the existing R8, Audi Sport says it has no plans to follow AMG’s lead in producing unique cars (such as the AMG GT coupe, roadster, and upcoming four-door) that don’t share any of their bodywork with the rest of the range. And that means the awesome Sport Quattro concept (above) that was first shown in 2013 is unlikely ever to see the light of day.-“It’s a nice dream,” new Audi Sport boss Stephan Winkelmann admitted, “but I think we have

  Founded in 1994 with the precise goal to produce a world-class supercar, Koenigsegg launched its first production model in 2002. Dubbed CC8S, it was the result of eight years of development and an improved version of the CC prototype, which is said to have been inspired by the McLaren F1 and Ferrari F40. The CC8S was followed by the CCR in 2004, but it wasn’t until 2005 that Koenigsegg introduced its first state-of-the-art supercar, the CCX.Short for Competition Coupe X, the CCX was built

As such, a group of Portland anarchists have taken it upon themselves to fill in the gaps – literally.As reported by local news outlet The Oregonian, an anonymous group dubbed “Portl
