Modern Jeep Wranglers are loaded with added features/Easter eggs designed to make driving one more fun, comfortable, and even safer. The simple Jeep is an unlikely vehicle to have become a cultural icon, but the firm that bears its name is still creating creative, interesting, and attractive jeeps and SUVs today, eighty years after the vehicle was initially conceived during WWII. The original Jeep has even inspired other automakers, who have gone on to develop their own versions of the iconic car, such as the Suzuki Jimny, despite the fact that current SUVs would not exist if it weren’t for th ..read more

The V8 engine has perhaps become the most iconic of all the engines utilized in the automobile industry. Even today, when smaller, four- and six-cylinder engines with forced induction and hybrid powertrains have mostly replaced the V8, many manufacturers and automobile enthusiasts still prefer the V8. Some people believe that V8 engines are only found in American automobiles. Yet carmakers all over the world admire them and use them in their most prestigious models. The V8 is a versatile and remarkable engine arrangement, whether it’s utilized in a workhorse truck, a beautiful sports car, or a ..read more

1. BMW M3 GTS The M3 GTS is the lighter, more powerful version of the standard BMW M3. In my opinion the M3 GTS is the best BMW to ever hit the market. The M3 GTS has 444 HP compared to the 414 HP in the standard model. This comes with a torque increase too. In order to achieve the additional 30 HP BMW upgraded their engine from a 4 litre to a 4.4 litre engine. This car comes with a 0-60mph time of 3 seconds. This car is much louder, definitely faster and way better looking than the standard. BMW only made approximately 160 cars of this model. The car only comes in the Jägermeister orange col ..read more

Kevin Hart isn’t only Hollywood’s hardest-working (funny) man; he’s also a dedicated collector of one-of-a-kind vehicles. He has a taste for restomods, and this is one of them: a custom-made, cherry-red 1977 Ford Bronco 4×4. Given that he created his own auto club and will be purchasing and reselling the club’s builds, it’s reasonable to presume he’s clearing some space in case he comes across something he wants. If this Bronco appears familiar, it’s because it appeared in a Jay Leno’s Garage episode from 2019 in which the two went off-roading in a Sherp ATV. The Bronco was then u ..read more

In reality, hybrids emit 40-70 percent less pollution than a gasoline or diesel vehicles. According to EV-volumes.com, hybrid car sales in Europe surged in the first quarter of 2021, hitting around 256,000 (up 264 percent year-over-year). Hybrids are still far more common than battery electric vehicles, yet the question remains whether they are truly sustainable and environmentally friendly. CO2 emissions from plug-in hybrid vehicles are up to 2.5 times higher than official tests and company marketing suggest, according to a study conducted by the European Federation for Transport and Environm ..read more

The sub-Levante nameplate is revealed for the first time. A prototype has previously been spotted draped in blue camouflage from roof to rims, and the company has teased the SUV since last year. Maserati has now made non-blurry images of the Grecale prototype public. However, we’ve known tidbits about it since last year. The Grecale SUV, like its Alfa Romeo Stelvio cousin, will be built on the Giorgio platform. While previous spy images have revealed the use of a conventional powertrain – most likely a twin-turbo V6 engine for the range-topper – we already know that a totally electric Grecale ..read more

JEFFERSON CITY – The traditional adage that a car depreciates as soon as it is driven off the lot is no longer true. Used car costs are rising as dealerships wait for new vehicle inventory. This is great news for sellers, but not always for buyers. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, used car prices have increased by 21% since April 2020, with 10% of that rise occurring in April 2021 alone. A number of reasons have contributed to the increase in the value of new cars. COVID-19 and a turbulent market, according to JD Power, are both to blame for the increase. The price of both new a ..read more

It Might Look a Little Like a Hummer EV. However, it will most likely be lighter. In the future, you might be looking up to the moon and seeing a GM product cruising across its surface. On Wednesday, GM announced a collaboration with Lockheed Martin to develop a next-generation lunar rover that NASA astronauts could use to explore the moon in the future. It might also appear a little like the Hummer EV from the front, based on the computer-generated buggy in the businesses’ joint teaser. The two firms want to pool their resources to create what they feel would be the ultimate vehicle to return ..read more

Nissan’s Z-cars, or Fairlady Z as some of you may know them, have been around since the late 1960s, and the current offering, the Nissan 370Z, will be replaced by an all-new Z-car, the 400Z. Let’s look at the new 400Z in more detail. While the 370Z has a substantial global market share, it has been on the market for quite some time, with the first cars hitting the streets in 2008. While Nissan hinted to a replacement model in 2018, the speculation mill really got going when it was revealed that Nissan has trademarked two new logos in March 2020. One was a new take on the legendary Z-car logo ..read more
