WRC 73 Rally Poland 2016 - 30 min Service of Stephane Lefebvre damaged Citroen WRC. The 2022 Kia Stinger Could Be An Instant Classic. The Kia Stinger, you probably have heard by now, is the real deal, an honest challenger to a car like the BMW M340i.
And cheaper, too. On Tuesday, Kia confirmed that the base model will get 300 horsepower, or 45 horsepower more than the outgoing, as we first heard in August. The Kia Stinger is edging toward the ideal. Not that 255 horsepower out of the four-cylinder is anything to sniff at in the 2021 base model, and you could always step up to the twin-turbo V6 and get 365 horsepower. But, and perhaps this is merely an aesthetic thing, 255 horsepower always felt agonizingly close to the correct amount of horsepower, but just short and thus inadequate. Jeep Wrangler Engine Explodes After 50,000 RPM Rev. Truck YeahThe trucks are good!

This 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Brochure Makes One Of The Weirdest Claims I've Seen. I always like it when old car ads or brochures go out of their way to tout features and details that are, to modern eyes, absolutely baffling.
I’m not sure what exactly causes the car-buying public to decide what they find important or interesting, but I’m pretty sure one thing that gets special mention in this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda brochure is something that—and I’m going to go out on a limb here—exactly zero potential Barracuda buyers gave a brace of BMs about.

As one cohort ages out of a particular scene — be it music, movies, fashion or design — a new group rushes into to fill the gap, bringing with them their own ideas about what’s cool, what’s not and most importantly, where you should turn your attention next. The automotive world has always lagged behind when it comes to recognizing which of its past efforts are worthy of praise. Seen clinically, old cars are just that: consumer products that are past due, vehicles that have fulfilled their original purpose and now serve primarily as money pits or recycling fodder so that the next set of shiny paint jobs can move on down the assembly line and keep feeding the retail flames.
From a cultural perspective, however, vehicles are often indelibly associated with emotions, experiences and eras in our lives. What qualifies a classic car as “underappreciated?” Driver in Supercharged Ford Mustang Hits 178 MPH Fleeing From Police on Arkansas Interstate. The precise Mustang in question appears to be a 2017 GT with some manner of Roush performance upgrades, likely a Stage 3 kit.

As well as getting the supercharger, the car also has an upgraded exhaust system and some other aesthetic modifications visible in the video. As far as the police chase goes, however, 675 horsepower is not enough to stage a getaway.
