2018 Chevy Traverse RS Looks Sporty, But Without The Extra Power
It can be had for $43,095. Following the debut of the Equinox RS in 2017, Chevy has once again rehashed its longstanding RS moniker for use on an SUV – the Traverse . Complete with new styling elements both inside and out, the Traverse RS – which stands for Rally Sport , in case you weren’t sure – " injects a distinctive dose of fun-to-drive sportiness,” says Chevy. Unfortunately, it doesn’t add any extra horsepower to go along with it. Under the hood the same 2.0-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine remains, delivering 257 horsepower (192 kilowatts) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque. That engine is paired to a nine-speed automatic, which in turn allows for fuel economy figures of 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. What the RS badge does add, though, are new sporty elements to the exterior like a black grille, black window trim, black roof rails, and black bowtie emblems. HID headlamps with LED daytime running lamps have also been added as standard to … [Read more...] about 2018 Chevy Traverse RS Looks Sporty, But Without The Extra Power
2018 IndyCar “a real handful, and that’s good!” says Servia at Sebring
The famously bumpy Sebring short course is the closest that teams can come to simulating a streetcourse surface, since the others are necessarily temporary tracks, and today’s test there was the fourth and final sign-off test run by IndyCar for the new universal-aerokit-equipped IR12. Honda’s official 2018 car tester Oriol Servia shared seat time with James Hinchcliffe in the Schmidt Peterson-run machine, while Scott Dixon drove a Chip Ganassi Racing car. In the Chevrolet camp, the Bowtie’s 2018 tester Juan Pablo Montoya shared his Penske car with newly crowned champion Josef Newgarden, while Spencer Pigot used an Ed Carpenter Racing machine. Servia, who was already enthusiastic about the new car following superspeedway, short-oval and roadcourse testing said that drivers and teams would find the 2018 car hugely demanding on street courses, and thereby achieve one of IndyCar’s prime objectives. He told Motorsport.com: “Well first of all, the test went well and we did … [Read more...] about 2018 IndyCar “a real handful, and that’s good!” says Servia at Sebring
“Awesome” 2018 IndyCar aerokit will improve racing, says Servia
The 2018 aerokit, which replaces the 2015-’17 manufacturer aerokits, has so far been tested by Servia (Schmidt Peterson Motorsports-Honda) and Montoya (Team Penske-Chevrolet) at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Iowa Speedway and Mid-Ohio. The kit’s fourth and final IndyCar-run test – as opposed to manufacturer test – will take place next Tuesday at Sebring, to represent a bumpy street course. But Servia says the kit has already impressed him. “More than anything, the 2018 aerokit really allows you to follow the car in front so much better than this year’s car,” said Servia. “No joke, at Mid-Ohio Turn 1, I have never ever been able to follow someone that close, not at the speeds we’re turning in. “But in the new car, I was on Montoya’s gearbox – literally, right there – and as we approached Turn 1, I thought, ‘Oh ****, I’ve got to try and do this but I’m probably going to go straight off.’ But no, I was able to stick with him all the way through. Then when Juan followed me, … [Read more...] about “Awesome” 2018 IndyCar aerokit will improve racing, says Servia
