Oct 31, 2023 Jackson williams

What takes place when an IndyCar engine from 2022 is put into a 2017 Honda Ridgeline? What kind of fun? The Electrikhana video of Ken Block tearing up tires on the Las Vegas Strip came out a week ago. Now, Block and the rest of the Hoonigan crew are back in Vegas at the SEMA show with something new. That “something new” is a 2017 Honda Ridgeline truck that has had a 2022 IndyCar engine put in. The Hoonigan team says it has an aluminum 2.2-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine that…

Oct 31, 2023Oct 31, 2023 Jackson williams

As trucks and SUVs have become more popular, off-roading has become more popular as well. To make their cars stronger, automakers have launched new sub-brands like Subaru’s Wilderness and Honda’s TrailSport. People who want to go anywhere have also started making sports cars, like the 911 Dakar from Porsche and the Huracán Sterrato from Lamborghini. Tommy Pike Customs made this Safari Rally Z Tribute for Nissan to show at the 2023 SEMA show, which starts this week in Las Vegas. It’s their take on the style. Nissan already paid tribute…

There are only 77 of the new 935 that were made. It looks a lot like the 935 that won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1979. That car had a really cool paint job. Soon, we’ll talk about this 2019 Porsche 935’s past. For now, just take a look at it. Take your mind off of things by looking at the deep black paint and the vents that are carved into the carbon-fiber-composite body parts. The rear wing is huge. What a beautiful car! This tribute to the famous…

Oct 25, 2023Oct 30, 2023 Jackson williams

Honda showed off a slinky Sports EV design in 2017 that had retro looks and small dimensions. But since then, the Japanese carmaker has been talking a lot about electric crossovers, like the 2024 Prologue, which will use Ultium batteries from General Motors. Now Honda has revealed that its plan to make more electric cars will include two sports cars, which it hinted at in a recent news release about its EV plans. One will be a “specialty” model, and the other will be a “flagship.” Honda said it would…

Honda Prelude Returns as a Sporty Coupe, This Time with EV Power

Oct 25, 2023Oct 25, 2023 Jackson williams

The Integra is back, and now the Prelude is too. Honda has brought back an exciting name from the past, this time for a concept two-door coupe that looks sporty and has an electric engine. The Prelude concept, which was shown at the Tokyo auto show, is said to be a sneak peek at future Honda EVs, especially sports car models that will focus on performance and driver involvement. We don’t know much about the Prelude’s powertrain or platform, but we think it will be one of Honda’s upcoming independent…

The 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto is a plug-in hybrid V-12 supercar that connects the past and the future.

Oct 19, 2023Oct 30, 2023 Jackson williams

When it comes to its competitors and Newtonian physics, the Lamborghini Revuelto is both a racecar and a war cry. When Lamborghini released the Aventador in 2011, it had 691 horsepower, which was 30 horsepower more than the previous Murciélago LP670-4 Superveloce. But the blended V-12 engine in even the base Revuelto will make an amazing 1001 horsepower, which is 30 percent more than the 770 horsepower of the last Aventador Ultimae. The Revuelto feels even more exciting than the numbers make it sound. We know this because we drove…

2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Competizione adds style but not sportiness.

Oct 19, 2023Oct 30, 2023 Jackson williams

It seems like high-performance and high-end SUVs and crossovers are in their prime right now. You can choose from a lot of two-ton people movers that can turn corners faster than your dad’s old Corvette. For the 2018 model year, Alfa Romeo joined the talk with the powerful Stelvio Quadrifoglio. The 2024 Stelvio Competizione, which has an active suspension and a lot of high-end features, is now available. It is a step between the less exciting models and the more expensive 505-hp Quadrifoglio. The Competizione is all about luxury, just…

Oct 18, 2023Oct 18, 2023 thedreamridesadmin

One of the names given to the brand-new Mercedes-AMG GLC—2025 The Mercedes-AMG GLC63 S E Performance is the first sign that this powerful machine has become more complicated. The Hammer, a simple but useful tool, used to be AMG’s most famous object. You wouldn’t say that AMG’s new GLC is simple, but it works well. The biggest difference between this group and the last is the source of motivation. That car had a 4.0-liter V-8 engine that was twin-turbocharged and managed to channel the power of AMG’s big naturally aspirated…

Oct 17, 2023Oct 17, 2023 thedreamridesadmin

The EPA just posted the official range numbers for the new 2024 Kia EV9. We also have our own test results that give you a better idea of how far the new three-row electric SUV can go on a charge in real life. The government says the EV9 can go anywhere from 230 to 304 miles, depending on how it is set up. Our test result for the dual-motor GT-Line trim level with the bigger battery pack is pretty close to the EPA rating for that type. We got 240…

Oct 17, 2023Oct 17, 2023 thedreamridesadmin

The Japanese carmaker is already testing an electric Hilux pickup in Australia. In the United States, though, an electric Tacoma is more likely to be released. This fall, all eyes will be on the Cybertruck because Tesla is almost ready to start making its long-awaited electric pickup.

The concept car was first shown in December 2022. Recently, tests were…
