The 2024 McLaren 750S Coupe and Spider Deliver More of Everything

Nov 21, 2023Nov 21, 2023 Jackson williams

The two-dimensional logo for Estoril, a great former Formula 1 track, doesn’t do it credit. The layout shown is not like a bent paperclip; it’s a complicated and difficult ribbon of asphalt that has been skillfully stretched over Portugal’s coastal mountain terrain. The 2024 McLaren 750S is a powerful rear-drive supercar with 740 horsepower. It should be scary to drive around an old-school F1 track, but the 750S is so well-kept that I, who had never been there before, felt like I could push like hell without worrying about crashing…

The Jeep Wrangler Can Tow More Than Ever—There’s Just One Problem

Nov 21, 2023 Jackson williams

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler’s towing capacity is as much as 5000 pounds—if you can manage to hook up a trailer. The four-door Jeep Wrangler looks like it could pull a trailer on paper. After all, it’s a body-on-frame truck with strong wheels and a range of strong engines. But until the 2023 model year, the Wrangler could never pull more than 3,500 pounds, which is about the same as a mid-size SUV. It’s because the suspension is set up to be flexible off-road rather than stiff for pulling a trailer.…

Nov 17, 2023 Jackson williams

Both the 2024 and 2025 Subaru Foresters have the same 2.5-liter normally aspirated flat-four engine. But soon, its range of powertrains will grow. Subaru said that the 2025 Forester will have a hybrid model a year after it comes out at the L.A. Auto Show on Thursday. “The all-new Forester will go on sale with [internal-combustion] engines at first, but a next-generation hybrid Forester will come out in another year,” said Subaru CEO Atsushi Osaki at the launch of the car. “This will be the first-ever Subaru Forester Hybrid, it…

The 2025 Subaru Forester has a new look, but it’s the same inside.

Nov 17, 2023Nov 17, 2023 Jackson williams

At the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show, Subaru showed off the 2025 Forester for the first time. Big claims of “all-newness” are made all the time, but the 2025 Subaru Forester does have new sheet metal, a stiffer frame, and a bigger infotainment screen inside. When it hits the market, there will be five trim levels to choose from: base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring. A Wilderness trim level and a hybrid choice are likely to be added one day. The Forester looks more ready for action from the outside…

Mercedes-AMG’s New GT63 Coupe Aims for More Mass Appeal

Nov 16, 2023Nov 16, 2023 Jackson williams

Did you know that spider legs don’t have muscles? It’s real. Their legs are moved by a system that works like a hydraulic pump and uses blood as the fuel. That’s why spiders’ legs curl up after they die. We’re not saying that spiders were the inspiration for this, but the new Mercedes-AMG GT’s standard hydraulic anti-roll control looks like the legs of a spider. McLaren has used a hydropneumatic system for a long time. The GT’s corners are joined by circuits that control the car’s roll stiffness. There is…

Nov 16, 2023Nov 16, 2023 Jackson williams

At Fiorano Circuit, owned by Ferrari, the 2024 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale set a new lap record for production cars. A Ferrari test driver named Raffaele de Simone clocked a 1:17.3 in the new XX car. This made it 1.4 seconds faster than the standard SF90 Stradale with the Assetto Fiorano kit. Before the SF90 XX, Ferrari’s XX cars could only be used on the track. This is the first XX car that can be driven on the street. Plug-in hybrids come in two different types. One is a standard…

Nov 8, 2023 Jackson williams

Stellantis and the UAW recently came to a rough deal to end the strike that had shut down many factories across the country for weeks. While the specifics are still being worked out, a document containing Stellantis’s production plans for the next few years was leaked on social media during the approval process. This document shows the automaker’s road map for how it plans to switch its truck-heavy range to electric power. The paper says that Jeep’s most famous model, the Wrangler, will stay in its current JL generation at…

2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Avoids the Range Anxiety of EV Trucks

Nov 8, 2023 Jackson williams

Electric trucks are great because they don’t need to go to gas stations and have a lot of torque and efficiency. When EV pickups are asked to carry heavy loads or pull big things, their range and efficiency go down, and their users’ stress levels usually go through the roof. It looks like Ram has a solution for people who want a full-size truck that has the best of both electric and gas engines. Here comes the new Ramcharger plug-in hybrid. A Hybrid Plug-in Pickup The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger…

Presenting Car and Driver’s 2023 EV of the Year

Nov 7, 2023Nov 7, 2023 Jackson williams

We’re back again. After putting all of this year’s new EVs through a week of close inspection, hard driving, and long charge times, a Hyundai came out on top. The Ioniq 5 won last year, and this year its new sedan sister, the Ioniq 6, does the same thing and wins. The Genesis Electrified GV70 and the Kia EV6 GT also did very well, which helps paint a picture: the Hyundai-Kia-Genesis group is definitely ahead when it comes to EVs that play in the broad main market. There are a…
