There's a massive loss through the drivetrain, but understandable in a truck. As it stands, the 2021 Ram TRX is the most powerful bone-stock truck coming from the factory without the need for electrification. The Hellcat-powered Ram 1500 makes use of its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 to churn out up to 702 horsepower (523 kilowatts) and 650 pound-feet (881 newton-meters). Those numbers are sent to all four wheels but, of course, there will be drivetrain loss, which could affect the numbers if measure at the wheels. Hennessey aims to discover the output at the wheels, as seen on its latest benchmarking video of the 2021 Ram TRX. Interestingly, the Texas-based tuner only measured the output at the rear wheels (not sure how on the TRX).

The Estonian now holds a 23.6-second advantage over the Toyota of Kalle Rovanpera, who has passed the Hyundai of Craig Breen for second place overall. Britain’s Elfyn Evans, lying fifth, won the second stage of the day in his Toyota to keep the pressure on the fourth place Hyundai of Thierry Neuville. Teenage Swedish driver Oliver Solberg holds sixth place in his first-ever appearance at the wheel of a full WRC car, driving a 2020-spec Hyundai and keeping in front of the 2021-spec Toyotas of Takamoto Katsuta and defending champion Sebastien Ogier. The M-Sport Ford Fiestas of Teemu Suninen and Gus Greensmith complete the top 10. “In the end a good morning, yes, but very, very demanding,” said Tanak. “The stages are incredibly fast and at that speed, never seeing the roads, the pacenotes are never 100% and you always have places where it’s a bit this way or the other way… so far so good!” Read Also: Hyundai wants "nothing less than victory" in Arctic Rally In … [Read more...] about Arctic WRC: Tanak extends lead with double stage wins

The Estonian’s teammate Thierry Neuville posted an electrifying time on the final stage of the day, 12.3 seconds faster than Tanak, to close within 2s of the Toyota’s Kalle Rovanpera, who holds second place overall. Three stages were run in morning loop and in repeated the afternoon, with a service at the midway point. Tyre wear and preserving the Pirelli studded rubber was the major preoccupation for most teams, with drivers finding that their front end grip fell off a cliff through the course of the day. Tanak won two stages in the morning and went fastest again on the first stage of the after the service, then settled into a rhythm and protected his tyres while Rovanpera and Neuville battled it out. “All to plan: the tyres are quite tired so it was important to get here without any mistakes, so it’s all good” said leader Tanak.

The division makes a specialty out of refining Porsche's products, so a vehicle has to be quite special to be among its favorites. Porsche’s warehouse holds a treasure trove of special models, and the firm’s latest expedition into the archives turns up five (kinda, sorta) of the best special edition models to ever come out of Porsche Exclusive’s workshop. Porsche Exclusive kicks off the list with 2012 911 Club Coupe , which is one of its rare creations. It offered just 13 of these recognition of  the 60th anniversary of clubs celebrating the brand. The number referenced the baker’s dozen of founding members of the marque’s enthusiast group in Germany. While not as rare as the Club Coupe, the 2011 911 Speedster is far more visually striking, and it occupies the fourth place spot here. Porsche Exlcusive built 356 of them as a celebration of the customizing operations 25th anniversary. The steeply raked windshield and bubble tail gave this rare variant a style … [Read more...] about These Are The Custom 911s That Porsche Exclusive Is Most Proud Of
