All LFAs are stunning, but some are more special than others. In the history of batshit crazy supercars, theres a legitimate claim for the LFA to be crowned the craziest of them all. The supercar, produced from 2010 to 2012, has a V10 engine developed with Yamaha that makes more than 450 hp and revs out to a screaming 9,500 rpm. And 90 percent of its 354 lb-ft of torque are available at just 3,500 rpm. That engine can easily be mistaken for an F1 powerplant, and its resonance frequency can shat...

Is anyone really surprised? For years, Elon Musk has made bold claims about how far Tesla is to attaining Level 5 autonomy in its cars. In July last year, he said that Tesla was "very close" to doing just that, a claim that was quickly dismissed by industry experts. With this in mind, Teslas latest announcement comes as little surprise. The company has apparently informed a regulator in California that it may not achieve full self-driving technology before the end of 2021. This information was ...

Its definitely happening, and its going to be epic. The Chevrolet Silverado is a workhorse, but as is usually the case, Ford is ahead of the game. It already offers a hybrid version of the F-150, and an all-electric model is in the works. But GM isnt waiting to get steamrolled, and has begun the process of getting its own electric pickup developed. There were rumors of such a vehicle back in February of 2019, and then again in June. But Chevy only admitted that those rumors were valid last mont...

A patent filed by Toyota could be for the Lexus LC F. Toyota has been a disappointment to high-performance car enthusiasts for a long time, but the Japanese automaker has been doing its best to reverse that perception. Cars like the GR Supra and GR Yaris have shown that the famous brand still has what it takes to make exciting cars. Toyota has also been working on making hydrogen cars sound good, as well as performing well in motorsport, and improving the sports car now known as GR 86. But Toyo...

A few more competitors like this could eat into Teslas EV share. While diehard muscle car fanatics will never acknowledge that the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E as a "real" Mustang, the first all-electric SUV has been a boon for overall Mustang sales. 2021 started as a slow year for the Mach-E with only 238 units sold in January. Once deliveries started getting underway though, Ford moved 3,739 of them the following month. Sales continue to climb, with the Mach-E sitting on dealer lots for just four...

Verdict: ��Is the 2020 Nissan Titan XD a good Truck? Nissan finds itself in an awkward position with the Titan XD: it is advertised as a heavy-duty truck, but looking at the specifications reveals a pickup that is barely more capable than some lightweight offerings. Its total towing capacity falls shamefully short of its competitors, partly because Nissan dropped the turbo-diesel powertrain for 2020. Furthermore, the Titan XD lacks the contemporary interior design and feel offered by picku...

Tesla Dr. Vazquez has been organizing pop-up clinics across the city focusing on getting younger people to get the job, and the doctors train of thought is that a brand new Tesla should incentivize people enough to visit one of the clinics. In order to enter the raffle, you must have both shots. Then youll get a ticket. You come in with a parent, you get the shot, you get a ticket, bring a kid, they get a ticket and the odds go up. "We have to try whatever we can because hesitancy is really...

And now theyre all gone. American and Australia share a love for powerful V8 engines, muscle cars, trucks and SUVs, and off-roading. Theyre kindred gearhead spirits. So it should come as no surprise that Australians fell madly in love with the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Powered by the 6.4-liter Hemi and supercharged Hellcat, respectively, this pair of hot rod SUVs are still on sale in the US, but thats not the case Down Under. According to WhichCar, both have sold out...
