Let’s dive in… Definition of Engine Torque In simple terms, engine torque is a measure of the twisting force produced by the engine.

Can the updated Audi RS4 Competition save the B9 generation? That’s what I’m here to find out. Audi. While famous for its quattro system, has faced a great deal of criticism over the years.

The owner of this gorgeous modified BMW E21 has spent 12 years transforming it into the absolutely immaculate build you see before you here.

We check out Michael’s Saab-engined modified Ford Sierra Sapphire, complete with 420bhp and perfect stance. When you visit a farm, there are certain things you expect to see – tractors, quad bikes, muck spreaders, all totally commonplace. But on a quiet little farm just a little north of Belfast, something rather special is afoot with this project car. We’re meeting up with Michael Scullin at Belfast port on a dreary winter’s day, and he kindly drives us to his farm to see this highly interesting build.
