Make Your Porsche Macan Turbo Quicker with the New Performance Package

http://ift.tt/2bTnjcr Every Porsche Macan is turbocharged, but there is only one capital-T Turbo—and that would be the most powerful one, rated at a healthy 400 horsepower. And it gets even burlier with the Performance package that’s now available: It adds a useful 40 horsepower, while maximum torque rises from 406 to 443 lb-ft, available from 1500 to 4000 rpm. We recorded a 0-to-60-mph sprint of 4.2 seconds from the non Performance’d...

2017 Jaguar XE EPA Fuel Economy: When Six Is Good as Four?

http://ift.tt/2bDC8zq A funny thing happened to Jaguar on the way to EPA certification. Its all-new 2017 XE sedan posted identical fuel-economy estimates with its four- and six-cylinder engines. In the rear-wheel-drive models, both the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four and the 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 deliver 21 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, according to Jaguar and the EPA. At least until we can run run our own fuel economy on...

This Hand-Held Laser Makes Rust Literally Evaporate

http://ift.tt/2bRAKa1 Rust is the bane of any mechanic. If you work on your car—whether it’s a beloved classic or just your daily driver—you’ve probably stared at stubborn, inevitable corrosion and wished you could banish it with the wave of a magic wand. Sadly, magic wands aren’t real. But this hand-held, 1000-watt laser that blasts away rust, paint, and any other coating, revealing virgin bare metal in seconds is real. Yes. A frickin’...

Prepare for the Apocalypse—or Anything Else—with These Rad Off-Road Campers

http://ift.tt/2bCnghp Between rising sea levels, the threat of Zika virus, and the recent news that a herd of 300-plus reindeer all were killed by one single lightning bolt, some of us here at Car and Driver (alright, just this writer) are convinced the end times are near. Now’s the time to begin preparing for our inevitable Mad Max–like dystopian future. Fortunately, Ohio-based Conqueror North America,...

Here’s How To Avoid Understeer

http://ift.tt/2anD2h6 Understeer may be the enemy of refined performance driving, but learning how to mitigate it and understanding weight transfer is something all drivers need to know. “If you do it properly,” military pilot and Bondurant student Billy Knight says, “you get around the corner a lot faster.” See what Billy means and what tips instructor Andy Lee has to offer as he takes to Bondurant Racing School’s oval for a couple of...

Harley-Davidson Announces Its First New Engine in 15 Years

http://ift.tt/2bCfsfr Harley-Davidson’s Big Twin is the heart and soul of America’s most famous touring bikes. This fall, the icon gets an upgrade. Last week, H-D unveiled the ninth iteration of the Big Twin, named the Milwaukee-Eight for Harley’s hometown and the eight valves on the new engine (four for each cylinder). With a 50 percent increase in intake and exhaust flow and a revamped cooling system that allows the...

Toyota Takes the Corolla iM Rallying, Because Why Not?

http://ift.tt/2bBy4Ry The glue for its new Toyota badges had barely dried before a few engineers subjected a Corolla iM hatchback (previously called the Scion iM) to some good-old backwoods rally competition. We’re not entirely sure why the Toyota R&D engineers decided to enter the nearly stock, 130-hp compact into the Rally America race through the Ojibwe Forest in Minnesota, but we can’t blame them for having a little...

Better Racer, Lesser Bargain: Mazda Improves Its MX-5 Miata Cup Race Car for 2017

http://ift.tt/2bCDGqe When Mazda announced last year that its purpose-built MX-5 Miata Cup race car would sticker for $53,000, we lauded the racer’s affordability. Having sold 108 (!) MX-5 Miata Cup cars, Mazda and Long Road Racing, its partner that actually assembles the Miatas, is gearing up for a second year of production and has implemented a few changes. The good news is that the changes improve the Miata race car. The bad news...

Delayed by Diesel: Mid-Engine Porsche 960 Supercar Delayed By VW’s Emissions Scandal

http://ift.tt/18ksUmK Last year, as Volkswagen Group’s diesel-emissions-scandal snowball began to roll down the proverbial hill, the automaker stated that every brand and model line would be put under financial review. This was as sensible move, as the scandal’s cost to VW could stretch well into the billions, meaning any nonessential projects could understandably be dust-binned for the company’s greater financial good. Per Automotive...

It’s Your Funeral, Pal. Luckily, There’s an Utterly Fab Toyota Crown Hearse for Sale!

http://ift.tt/2bzg8T1 In the United States of America, the only usual sop to ostentation in the face to death is that the vehicle carrying the deceased to his or her final resting place has historically been built on a luxury automobile’s chassis. Japan, on the other hand, flips the script. True, the 1983 Crown was not the most pedestrian model in Toyota’s line, but compared to a Cadillac or Lincoln of the day, it’s a spare vehicle....

Huffing Gas: Pininfarina to Build 10 Track-Only H2 Speed Fuel Cell Exotics

http://ift.tt/2byAIWZ In today’s market, to be fixated on performance numbers is a fool’s errand. Most everything is fast; not everything is fun. But when a base Carrera can make the hop to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, one would hope that a $2.5-million car with an additional 133 horsepower could do the venerable Neunelfer at least one better. Pininfarina, though, is not attempting to trade on raw, sordid speed with its H2 Speed...

GM Recalls 367,000 Crossovers for Potential Windshield-Wiper Fault

http://ift.tt/2c0Bhbd General Motors is recalling 367,808 crossovers in the U.S. for potentially faulty windshield wipers, according to filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain have ball joints in the windshield wiper linkages that can rust and separate from their mounts, which can cause one or both wipers to become stuck or inoperative.

http://ift.tt/2c9p2ew Citroën’s new CXperience concept car is a combination of compelling style and Gallic weirdness. Set to debut at next month’s Paris auto show, the sleek sedan is a preview of a possible Audi A7-fighter from the French brand. Like the fastback from Ingolstadt, the CXperience banks on the theory that sex sells. Low and wide, the 191-inch long CXperience pushes its big, 22-inch wheels to the edges of its shapely...
