There's a 2.0 Mazda-sourced engine under the hood. Hurtan is a Granada-based small-scale automaker, focused on building retro-looking vehicles with modern technologies. About two months ago, the Spanish company unveiled its Grand Albaycin roadster based on the Mazda MX-5 , and now there’s a new version of that car. Just like Mazda has a hardtop version of the two-seater, Hurtan is launching the Grand Albaycin Bespoke based on the MX-5 Miata RF. Logically, this means the soft-top mechanism is replaced by an automatic hardtop roof, which can be finished in a different color compared to the rest of the body for a two-tone paint scheme. Gallery: Hurtan Grand Albaycín Bespoke 5 Photos Other than the hardtop, the sports car looks identical to the model introduced in January. One major difference though is the lack of the entry-level 1.5-liter engine. The Miata RF-based roadster will be … [Read more...] about Hurtan Grand Albaycín Bespoke Is A Miata RF With Euro Influences

Definitive Proof Ford Maverick Is Smaller Than Ranger, And By How Much
See how the two trucks compare. We have known that Ford will slot the new Maverick below the Ranger in its lineup. However, we didn't know how much smaller it'd actually be. Thankfully, a new set of spy shots has captured the two pickups out testing together, revealing a noticeable size difference between them. The Ranger is no behemoth, though the Maverick shrinks in its presence, giving us a good idea of the Maverick's dimensions for the first time. The Maverick will ride on Ford's C2 platform, which also underpins the Bronco Sport and Escape, making its small size unsurprising. The Maverick is both narrower and shorter than the Ranger it's sitting next to in the photos. That'll translate into a smaller cabin, a smaller bed, and a shorter ride height, though the Maverick still looks plenty capable. The Maverick and Bronco Sport share a similar boxy front end with a shared design ethos, though the similarities extend beyond looks.
