This is admittedly cool and essentially BMW showing off. Is it practical or something we will see in production? No, not any time soon. The technology is very sensitive to temperature changes hence why BMW had a backup car in case the first stopped functioning. ...Published on 01-07-2022 02:01 AM
Many BenzBoost enthusiasts have been clamoring for real world performance results based on the dynographs we are seeing from tuners for twin turbo V8 AMG's. Well, ECC (former Eurocharged Canada) worked their magic on the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S 4Matic 4-door M177 V8 and the results are spectacular. ...Published on 01-07-2022 01:21 AM
Wow. Talk about a response to the Ford F-150 Lightning. Seemingly out of nowhere Chevrolet volleyed a major shot at their competition. Introducing the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV truck. ...Published on 01-06-2022 08:15 PM
You likely noticed in the past year TCU (transmission control unit) tuning from AMG tuners evolving considerably. AMG's were making big power but it just was not getting to the ground efficiently. ...Published on 01-06-2022 07:54 PM
The EV (electric vehicle) marketplace will likely see more entries from non-traditional source. Some of those sources may have experience with electronics from other areas. SONY would be the perfect example. ...Published on 01-06-2022 12:44 AM
It is incredibly difficult to get gains out of the high strung Porsche 992 GT3 4.0 liter flat-6. You can not just increase boost pressure and force in more air. This is a six-cylinder engine already making over 100 wheel horsepower per liter in naturally aspirated form. ...Published on 01-05-2022 12:23 PM
We know a hotter version of the BMW G82 M4 is on the way. The CSL model is expected to be the range topper and the highest performance version of the M4 ever made. Specifications are yet to be confirmed so keep that in mind when reading the initial details. ...Published on 01-05-2022 12:00 PM
You probably realized the new MK8 generation Volkswagen Golf R would be quite tuneable as the EA888 2.0 turbocharged and direct injected four-cylinder motor is already well known to VW enthusiasts and tuners. ...Published on 01-05-2022 11:20 AM
The S63TU2 4.4 liter twin turbo V8 is simply a monster. While the F90 M5 seems to get most of the attention (it is more affordable) the M8 is just as capable as its 4-door sibling and tuners around the world are getting monster numbers out of the platform. ...Published on 01-04-2022 01:11 AM
Those that launch hard or hit the strip will definitely want to look into this upgrade. Why? Because the last thing you want is your driveshaft coming loose due to vibration and potentially up into the cabin doing serious damage to your car (and you). ...Published on 01-03-2022 07:15 PM
Ferrari plays games with weight figures. You really do not know what a Ferrari actually weighs until one is independently weighed. Ferrari does not like that as independent figures rarely match up with Ferrari claims. ...Published on 01-02-2022 03:00 PM
Expect to see more EV on EV action this year. BMW is pushing their 'i' brand hard and the i4 M50 is one of their newest entries. The i4 M50 offers 544 horsepower courtesy of two electric motors one of which feeds the front wheels and the other the rear wheels. ...Published on 01-01-2022 01:12 AM
Maybe there is a method to the madness in Porsche dropping the 992 Turbo 3.7 liter flat-6 compression ratio to 8.7:1? Who would think this kind of power would be possible on California's low quality 91 octane pump fuel? ...Published on 12-31-2021 06:11 PM
Want to add some wide rubber up front while making your BMW E46 M3 look more aggressive? Well, Karbonius has you covered with a new release. These are carbon fiber lightweight front fenders offering enough width to fit a 10-inch rim up front. ...Published on 12-29-2021 11:48 PM
Disappointing news for Rivian fans here waiting for the extended battery version of the Rivian R1T and R1S models. Currently, the maximum range is just over 300 miles but the larger max battery pack is expected to push range to just over 400 miles. ...
