Old Jeeps Don’t Need Big Lifts, Trick Powertrains To Conquer Tough Terrain
Off-road vehicles today wrap passengers in modern interiors packed with tech and comfort. Consumers no longer have to choose between having a plethora of amenities or rugged capability, with automakers blending the two with models like the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. Today's off-road superstars are far from the segment's humble beginnings in post-war America. The Jeep that hauled Allied troops around the world would become the basis for an entirely new segment of vehicles. The first civilian Jeep, the CJ-2A, began production in 1945, the same year World War 2 ended, with Willys-Overland advertising the utilitarian off-roader to farmers and construction workers. More than 70 years later, examples of these early Jeeps, for both civilians and the military, continue to tackle off-road trails. A new video from Stan Fuller on YouTube captures a trio of them tackling Sand Hollow State Park's Double Sammy trail during the Winter 4x4 Jamboree 2023 in Utah. The Jeeps might be old and … [Read more...] about Old Jeeps Don’t Need Big Lifts, Trick Powertrains To Conquer Tough Terrain
Audi RS3 Drag Races E-Tron GT In Close ICE Vs EV Showdown
Audi is undergoing a transition. Late last month, the automaker announced that it would only introduce electric vehicles starting in 2026 while phasing out combustion-powered models by 2033. This puts engines like the RS3’s 2.5-liter five-cylinder on the chopping block, with its immediate future uncertain. It’s a formidable powertrain that car propels the model down the drag strip with ease, and it should remain a favorite of enthusiasts for the time being. However, a taste of the future is already available from Audi in the form of the E-Tron GT , the brand’s new all-electric sedan. A new video from the Car YouTube channel pits these two siblings against each other in a drag race to see which car is the superior racer.

Mustang Fights AWD Onslaught In Drag Race Against RS3, M240i, Golf R
The Ford Mustang has the power to dominate at the drag strip. However, effectively using all those ponies can be challenging for the car. A new video from the CAR YouTube channel reveals that the right competitors – the BMW M240i, Volkswagen Golf R, and Audi RS3 – can capitalize on the Mustang's struggles and ride them to victory. The Golf R packs the smallest engine and the smallest punch of the bunch. Its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 315 horsepower (235 kW) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque, but this race isn't about power. The BMW's turbo 3.0-liter inline-six produces 382 hp (285 kW) and 368 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. The Audi has a turbo 2.5-liter fiver-cylinder making 394 hp (294 kW) and 368 lb-ft. The trio all sport all-wheel drive, which gives them a considerable advantage in this race.

Germany struggling to find free-to-air TV partner for F1 after RTL deal ends
Sky Germany is reportedly struggling to bring a new free-to-air TV partner on board for the coming F1 season, after fellow broadcaster RTL’s contract expired. Multiple reports from Germany have come out claiming that the pay-TV channel, which is contractually obliged to share live rights to four races as part of its long-term contract with Formula 1, is still looking for a free-to-air partner, with RTL refusing to extend its contract – preferring to focus on its live football and NFL coverage instead. RTL had hosted Formula 1 on its channel for almost 30 years before Sky bought the full live rights to the sport in Germany ahead of the 2021 season, but other broadcasters ARD and ZDF are not believed to be interested in the sub-licensing rights for F1 at this time, with ZDF reportedly believing that the internal combustion engine element of the series does not fit in with its environmental alignment for the future. Motorsport-Magazin in Germany report that ProSiebenSat.1 Group … [Read more...] about Germany struggling to find free-to-air TV partner for F1 after RTL deal ends

Widebody Mid-Engine 1967 Mustang Created From Wrecked Movie Car
No Mustangs were harmed to build this mid-engine creation. However, a wrecked movie car donated its frame for a build featuring stock Mustang parts. That's how Chris Steinbacher of the B is for Build's YouTube channel started before ending up with a unique creation featured at the Holley booth during SEMA 2022. The wrecked movie car was built for the 2014 Need for Speed movie as a Bugatti Veyron replica. If you've seen the movie, it's the black and orange car t-boned by police in the final race. Since no one wanted to wreck a real Bugatti, they built a fiberglass replica and destroyed it. Even though the fiberglass body was shattered and a few other parts were broken, Steinbacher picked it up for $15,500. He had the idea of converting it into a mid-engine version of a 1967 Mustang . Then he came across Karan Adivi's BOSS 302 digital renderings and decided to use those images as his inspiration. Obviously, the Mustang was never meant to be a mid-engine car, but somehow, … [Read more...] about Widebody Mid-Engine 1967 Mustang Created From Wrecked Movie Car
