Mercedes Engine Supplier Has Found A Way To Make EVs Popular: Make Them Hybrids

6 days ago | carbuzz.com | Evan Williams

A company named after one of the oldest forms of transportation is getting ready to launch one of the most high-tech powertrains anywhere. One that, like going from a car to a horse, sounds like a big step backward from what we would expect. The Future Hybrid Concept comes from the company building the four-cylinder engines for the new CLA and will be revealed at the Shanghai Auto Show next week. It combines an engine, motor, and transmission all into one compact unit.

Genesis Almost Ready To Build A Coupe Longer Than An Expedition

6 days ago | carbuzz.com | Evan Williams

A full-sized coupe based on the Genesis G90 sedan, a sort of competitor to the Mercedes-Benz SL and S-Class coupes that no longer exist, is more than just a dream. At the New York International Auto Show earlier this week, Genesis showed exactly that in the form of the X Gran Coupe and X Gran Convertible concept cars.
RTR Crams Ford's Monstrous Godzilla Engine Into A Bronco

6 days ago | carbuzz.com | Evan Williams

The thing about the Ford Bronco is that, even in twin-turbo Raptor form, it's just not that quick. We're sorry to those who love their Braptors, but when you're turning those 37-inch tires, Ford's 418-horsepower and 440 lb-ft of turbo torque just don't do it. Plus, getting it moving means spending all of your time spooling the turbos to make maximum boost, and that means sucking down fuel from the relatively small gas tank.
GMC Hummer EV Gets A Nip & Tuck Next Month, But It Loves Donuts More Than Ever

6 days ago | carbuzz.com | Evan Williams

Various delays with electric model rollouts at automakers must be wreaking havoc on vehicle replacement timelines. For example, it feels like the GMC Hummer EV is just starting to show up on the road in numbers great enough that you might see one in the wild. However, since it was first revealed in 2020 and went on sale in 2021, it's already time for a mid-cycle refresh.
Porsche Asks "Mustang Who?" Setting Stick-Shift Record Around The Nurburgring

6 days ago | motorillustrated.com | Evan Williams

Ford must have been really proud of its Mustang GTD when it broke the seven-minute mark at the Nurburgring racetrack. It must have been hell designing and building a car to conquer the Green Hell, involving racecar supplier Multimatic, more than 800 horsepower, and enough wind tunnel time to run an F1 team. It was proud of that time right up until Porsche came out and smoked it. With a car making 300 fewer horsepower and that had a manual transmission instead of an eight-speed dual-clutch box.

6 days ago | carbuzz.com | Evan Williams

The coachbuilders at Bentley's Mulliner division continue to show off just what they're capable of creating for buyers with pockets deeper than the Mariana Trench. The British luxury automaker calls the Batur Convertible the third coachbuilt Bentley of the modern era. It's a very limited edition that cuts the roof off of the already extremely exclusive Batur grand tourer.
This Hellephant-Swapped Supra Will Beat You By An Inch And a Mile

1 week ago | carbuzz.com | A Mile |Evan Williams

Imagine if Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner had not been able to overnight parts from Japan; if the 2JZ engine he wanted to get for the shell of a Supra hadn't arrived. What if, late one night, after too many Coronas, Brian had a great idea: to take the supercharged Hemi out of Dom's Charger (hey, he had been too scared to drive it for decades) and put that big-inch mill into the Supra's shell instead? The video at the end of this article is sort of like that.
