We all want to see dyno figures from the Model S Plaid. Tesla dyno results in particular do not often match up with the horsepower and torque claims and the Plaid certainly is delivering more than the stated horsepower. ...Published on 01-15-2022 03:22 AM
Another EV versus internal combustion drag race and a pretty good one here. You have two all wheel drive German performance sedans that are two of the best in the game.

That is right, the next gen BMW M5 set for a 2024 release is expected to be a hybrid. Now, remember reports from 2020 stated there would be a hybrid as well as a fully electric version with 1000+ horsepower but thus far only the hybrid version is testing. ...Published on 01-14-2022 02:25 AM
10's on pump gas with an off the shelf APR tune and TiAL Sport M660 turbochargers in a Porsche 991.2 Carrera? Yes indeed. For those looking for a reliable every day pump gas package combined with 10-second performance out of their 991.2 Carrera (or S/GTS) look no further. ...Published on 01-13-2022 10:41 PM
We pretty much know what the 2023 BMW G87 M2 has in store for us. Expect a detuned BMW S58 motor likely rated in the ~420 horsepower range which will send its power to the rear wheels through either a manual or automatic transmission. ...Published on 01-13-2022 05:13 PM
This is a tricky one as it is tough to say it is confirmed without an official source actually confirming it. That is how thedrive.com is reporting the story this but ToyotaBoost.com/BimmerBoost.com want to make it clear an unnamed source is being relied on here. ...Published on 01-13-2022 01:52 PM
A twin turbo V8 German sedan battle here. In one corner is the C218 generation CLS63 AMG which features the 5.5 liter M157 twin turbo V8 motor. This CLS63 is modified fairly heavily with upgraded turbochargers courtesy of Pure Turbos. ...Published on 01-13-2022 12:56 PM
The B58 really is not giving up much to the S58 other than tuning capability on the factory turbos. Here is yet another impressive performance example from the B58 and this one stands out because it was achieved boost only. ...Published on 01-13-2022 12:44 PM
For those hardcore Volkswagen and Audi enthusiasts or perhaps those making a lot of power who want to a stronger driveine Artex Motorsports just released their MQB rear lightweight tubular subframe. ...Published on 01-13-2022 12:27 PM
Well, BMW M does not seem to be affected or at least as affected as other global brands. BMW M set a sales record with a 13% increase in M car deliveries in 2021 over 2020. In total, BMW delivered 163,642 M vehicles. ...Published on 01-13-2022 01:08 AM

Things are heating up in the S58 tuning scene. RK Autowerks recently set the overall quickest and fastest G80 M3 GPS timed 1/4 mile pass on factory S58 turbos taking the record from Visconti tuning who responded in kind. ...Published on 01-12-2022 02:11 AM
Well, this is cool. Ever wish the second generation Audi R8 offered a manual transmission option like the first generation R8? Well, UGR (Underground Racing) can grant that wish by essentially retrofitting the manual transmission from the first generation car. ...Published on 01-12-2022 01:21 AM
Yes, it's still coming and we should have official info soon. The LT4 powered Cadillac Escalade-V was spotted doing some testing. The exhaust sounds great and the LT4 engine is expected to mirror the output of the CT5-V. ...
