For the 2022 model year, Toyota has reimagined its full-size pickup from the ground up. Andre Smirnov had the opportunity of driving a non-hybrid Tundra Limited CrewMax 4x4 over 150.5 miles (242.2 kilometers), tallying around 19.9 miles per gallon (11.8 liters per 100 kilometers) at the pump.

I30 N is Hyundai’s first genuine foray into performance cars. But as opposed to Volkswagen, Renault, and Ford, the automaker from South Korea doesn’t actually care about zero to 60 times and Nurburgring times.

If you’re in the market for a supermini with attitude, three such vehicles come to mind: the ever-popular Volkswagen Polo GTI, the three-cylinder Ford Fiesta ST, and the i20 N from Hyundai. Even though going as fast as possible in a straight line isn’t their strong point, Mat Watson wanted to find out which is the quickest car to 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour).

Not available in the United States anymore, the compact-sized Focus doesn’t even have a Rally Sport variant because Ford couldn’t make a case for an expensive hybrid system in a low-volume production car. Alas, the ST remains the highest-performing Focus on sale for the 2021 model year.

Audi is a rare example of a premium automaker that knows how to make small cars. And the most significant model right now is the Q4 e-tron that just launched in Germany.

Although some fans are still preoccupied with putting the all-new 2021 BMW M3 (G80) and M4 (G82) through their paces in different perspectives, the tuning world knows very well that some owners are looking for more the very day these high-performance machines leave the dealerships. Case in point with Manhart’s MH3 600 upgrade, which has already been submitted to a few of the usual tests by the team over at AutoTopNL.

autoevolution 1 May 2021, 23:54 UTC · by An estimated 258 horsepower and 317 pound-feet (430 Nm) of torque may not seem like much in any other vehicle, but it’s more than enough in the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range AWD. The question is, can the all-electric sedan outaccelerate a supercharged truck to 60 mph (97 kph)? 105 photos On paper, it’s pretty obvious that a TRX has the upper hand over the Model 3 Standard Range AWD because of the Hellcat V8 engine with 702 horsepower and 650 po...

After the Carrera, Targa, and Turbo rolled out, Porsche has added the most extreme GT3 ever to the 922 family. Introduced in February as a 2022 model, the corner-carving car is very impressive on paper.

2022 Audi e-tron GT Takes Autobahn Acceleration Test, Electric Quattro Is Fast 6 Mar 2021, 19:52 UTC · by 4 photos We already showed you the sprint potential of the RS version, but the regular e-tron GT is going to be fast enough for most people.
