Is the Maserati MC20 now the best entry in the competitive mid-engine sports car class? Steve Sutcliffe believes it just might be. Keep in mind this is where the competition features the Lamborghini Huracan, Audi R8, Ferrari F8, McLaren 570S, McLaren Artura, McLaren 720S, Acura NSX, and C8 Corvette. ...Published on 03-08-2022 01:57 PM
With the number of VAG (Volkswagen Auto Group) products sharing the EA839 2.9 liter twin turbo V6 motor we will see robust tuning of the platform especially as tuners become more comfortable with tuning for turbo upgrades. ...Published on 03-08-2022 01:24 AM
Now, these SUV's are pretty similar. Both are all wheel drive, both have automatic gearboxes (although the Aston is a 9-speed compared to the Urus ZF 8-speed), and both offer twin turbo 4.0 liter V8 motors. Really, the DBX 707 is just a standard DBX in a higher state of tune. ...Published on 03-07-2022 05:32 PM
It only took six years and a lawsuit by SEMA to get the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to follow the law. This just goes to show that even if you have a law passed and on the books the government still will not necessarily enforce or follow it. ...Published on 03-07-2022 02:51 PM
Does the name JDY Performance ring a bell? Nope, it doesn't here either. They are offering what they call their JDY1300 turbo kit for the 2.5 TFSI EA888 DAZA platform (8S Audi TT-RS and 8V RS) for $6799.00 dollars. ...Published on 03-07-2022 02:42 PM
More speculation on the upcoming BMW G82 M4 CSL and it feels like everyone is guessing. Rumors are BMW will cut weight by ~220 pounds which they could certainly achieve if keeping the car rear wheel drive only, deleting the rear seats, and offering a manual transmission. ...Published on 03-05-2022 03:24 PM
Does Tony Vargas (Vargas Turbocharger Technologies) suffer from mental retardation? Quite possibly. It may explain his propensity for beating women and general douchebaggery as well as his inability to do basic arithmetic. ...Published on 03-05-2022 02:31 PM
The world is extremely unpredictable. Who knew trying to get your G80 M3, G82 M4, F97 X3M, or F98 X4M S58 ECU unlocked for flash tuning could result in your ECU being stuck in Russia as war breaks outs. ...Published on 03-05-2022 01:59 PM
These are absolutely insane numbers out of the Ferrari 812 Superfast 6.5 liter F140 V12. The output of the motor is already 788 crank horsepower in stock form which for a naturally aspirated motor of this size quite remarkable. ...Published on 03-04-2022 12:11 AM
Cars are getting so fast that the B9 S4 in stock form really isn't too much of a threat. You can wake that EA839 3.0 V6 up with some software though and wake it does as 034 Motorsports shows on this example with their Stage 1 ECU (Engine Control Unit) and TCU (Transmission Control Unit) tuning. ...Published on 03-03-2022 11:42 PM
As you know BMW is all about M SUV's these days (they love those fat profit margins) and a BMW XM range topping model is on the way. BMW teased the design themselves and it is different to be sure. ...Published on 03-03-2022 05:14 PM
The Rivian R1T is a very hot truck right now and very hard to get. It is not hard to see why demand is so high when the Rivian R1T performs so well and is being lauded by testers. In the current automotive climate, prices are rising across the board. ...Published on 03-03-2022 04:22 PM
BMW likely will not be fitting the next generation 7-Series with a V12. That means the most powerful engine offering is likely to be the upcoming S68 4.4 liter twin turbo V8 from the G90 M5 which will also have an electric motor of some sort. ...Published on 03-03-2022 01:37 AM
It is true supplies are tough to come by right now especially in the automotive world. The aftermarket certainly is not spared and keeping things in stock certainly is a challenge. This is why BoostAddict/PorscheBoost is going to make some changes to better serve customers. ...Published on 03-02-2022 12:26 AM
MotorWeek tests are simple and straight to the point. We like that. PorscheBoost definitely wants to see more test numbers on the 992 generation 911 Carrera GTS but unlike the 991.2 the 992 GTS is harder to recommend considering it offers the same turbocharger hardware as the 992 S. ...
