Lexus RC200t Turbo Four Unveiled for Europe, Likely for U.S., Too
http://ift.tt/1IPelbC
Toyota of Europe has announced the addition of a turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the Lexus RC coupe lineup, in the new RC200t. Like its sibling, the IS200t, the smaller-engine RC coupe is expected to come to the U.S. market, as well.
In Europe, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo makes 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque in the RC coupe, the same figures for that engine in our upcoming IS200t. Lexus is...
Hey, “Mad Men” Fans: You Can Buy Don Draper’s ’65 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
http://ift.tt/1MznSUb
Don Draper’s 1965 Cadillac Coupe DeVille was a silent but crucially important character in the last few seasons of Mad Men. Now, the actual car used to shoot the critically acclaimed and wildly successful TV drama can be yours—but you better get your bid in soon.
As Mashable reports, more than 1000 vintage items used on the Mad Men set are going up for auction at Screenbid. Most of the items are set dressing—furniture,...
Amazon’s Top Gear Show Coming in Fall 2016, Episodes Won’t Be Released All at Once
http://ift.tt/1KG19Dt

There is still a lot to process about the Top Gear team re-emerging on Amazon instant video. Questions like when will we see the show? Will it all be released at once? Why did they decide to go with Amazon?
We’re now starting to get the answers that we crave, as former Top Gear producer and new Amazon...
This Ford GT Race Car “Secret Shakedown” Video Is Pure Car Porn
http://ift.tt/1Idm7GN
Since we can’t get enough of the brilliant new Ford GT around here, especially in racing guise, we bring you Ford’s latest GT video, called “The Secret Shakedown,” which contains test footage of some of the racing development process, allegedly shot about three weeks before the racing car made its official debut at Le Mans last month.
The talking heads in the video, including Dave Pericak, director of Ford Performance,...
Report Details Displacement, Horsepower for Porsche Boxster, Cayman Turbo Fours
http://ift.tt/1KFNyfs
A report on the Car Magazine website reveals more details about the upcoming four-cylinder turbo engines that are set to replace the naturally aspirated flat-sixes in the Porsche Boxster and Cayman. And, unfortunately, the horsepower output is going down—at least for the base-model and S versions.
In the report, the often-prophetic Georg Kacher confirms the depressing news that the base, S, and GTS versions of...
GM Expands Cadillac ATS Recall for Sunroof Switches
http://ift.tt/1M1wGmH
July 31, 2015 at 11:59 am by Clifford Atiyeh | Photography by Michael Simari
General Motors is expanding an earlier recall of Cadillac ATS sedans and coupes that let people close the sunroof too easily.
According to a report in Automotive News, the 2016 ATS is now included and adds 4967 more cars to the original February recall for a total of 63,665 within the U.S. The 2013-2016 ATS models have...
Report: Upcoming BMW Diesel Engine Will Have FOUR Turbos
http://ift.tt/1LUWzml
Turbos are hot right now. Seemingly every segment of the car industry has at least one turbo engine on offer; twin turbos, once the realm of exotic supercars, are now available on pickup trucks and family haulers. In 2012, BMW upped the ante with a triple-turbo inline-six diesel engine for the European market. But too much is never enough, apparently. Rumor has it, BMW’s readying a new diesel inline six with...

OwnStar’d! Enterprising Wiz Hacks OnStar to Enable Remote Functions, GM Working on Fix
http://ift.tt/1fMnLrd
’Tis the season, apparently, to get hacky. In the wake of the Wired story that saw a Jeep Cherokee in a ditch after pair of hackers took control of the ute remotely via a UConnect vulnerability comes the announcement of OwnStar, a little black box that, when attached surreptitiously to a GM OnStar-equipped vehicle, executes a man-in-the-middle attack between that vehicle and the OnStar RemoteLink app. It allows a...
IIHS: 2015 Ford F-150 Crash Tests Reveal Disparate Results Between Crew Cab and Extended Cab
http://ift.tt/1DSQ8tu
The Ford F-150 aced a suite of crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and earned the nonprofit group’s “Top Safety Pick” rating. Of note, however, is that the honor was bestowed only to the SuperCrew body style, the bestselling version of the truck.
The four-door SuperCrew passed all five tests with the highest-possible “good” rating. The reason? Ford installs steel members fore...
This 1936 Film Explains Exactly How a Manual Transmission Works
http://ift.tt/1VPTTLD
Along with the actual wheels, the manual transmission is among the least-evolved components of a modern car. A brand-new 2015 model’s stick shift has a whole lot in common with the three-speed gearbox you’d find in a car built 70 years ago. While the technology may be abidingly familiar to us enthusiasts, it can never hurt to take a refresher course in the basics. That’s why we love this vintage educational...

Only the bestselling body style, the four-door SuperCrew, passed all five tests with the highest-possible “good” rating. The reason? Ford installs steel members fore and aft of the front wheel wells (in yellow, below) to...

2016 Honda Pilot AWD Tested: It’s Schleptastic!
http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
[unable to retrieve full-text content]
The arrival of a second child in a couple’s life often means many things: the demise of romance, the start of sibling rivalry, and the purchase of a three-row SUV. As the latter has all but usurped the minivan as the most popular kid-schlepper, the Honda Pilot has become a go-to choice for frazzled parents. […]

Why Didn’t Q Order James Bond a Shooting Brake, Like This One?
http://ift.tt/1KCv4fX
The most popular James Bond car ever, a silver DB5, was equipped with a number of gadgets including an ejection seat, smoke screens, and machine guns. As a man who plays as hard as he works however, we wonder if Bond would have been better served by a car with a little more cargo room for, you know, lady friends and stuff.
This 1967 Aston Martin DB6 Shooting Brake sounds like it could’ve done the trick, were it...

Seems like the “fracas” that ended Top Gear turned out to be a rather positive thing, didn’t it?
The show, which is nameless so far (House of Cars was suggested), will appear starting next year....

If Six Were Twelve: This Ferrari Enzo–Aping Pontiac Fiero Can Be Yours For Just $6000!
http://ift.tt/1ShPNwz
When General Motors launched the Pontiac Fiero, with its mid-engined architecture and easily replaceable plastic body panels, it had know know that some enterprising homebrew artists would quickly adapt Ferrari-esque coachwork to their new sports car.
What they couldn’t have imagined when the car went on sale toward the end of 1983 is the mighty Enzo Ferrari, a car almost two decades in the future. Not as...
