To V or Not to V? We Attend Cadillac’s V-Performance Academy

http://ift.tt/2oR5ZYq The rubber industry owes a debt of gratitude to Cadillac. More than a decade and a half after the Escalade helped usher in an era of plus-size wheels and tires to mass-market consumers, the American luxury brand now actively encourages owners of its ATS-V and CTS-V to burn through tires at the racetrack. The brand’s V-Performance Academy is a two-day high-performance driving school that comes standard with the...

Haulin’ Juice: This Company Wants To Take the Tesla Approach Large-Scale with Electric Semi Trucks

http://ift.tt/2oTY6SM From the May 2017 issue Trevor Milton wants to do Elon Musk one better in the field of zero-emission transportation. With his Nikola EV semi-tractors, he hopes to disrupt the market for the largest commercial trucks on our roads, just as Tesla did for luxury sedans. His business model even borrows the inventor Tesla’s first name. But Milton, who made his fortune developing heavy-duty natural-gas powertrains, is embracing...

Toyota Recalls 228,000 Tacoma Pickups for Leaky Axles

http://ift.tt/2oQpBMa April 28, 2017 at 12:28 pm by Clifford Atiyeh | Photography by Michael Simari Toyota is recalling about 228,000 Tacoma pickups in the U.S. with faulty rear axles, the automaker said this week. Most 2016 and 2017 Tacomas have a rear axle that may leak oil from the differential cover. This can damage the axle, reduce vehicle power, and possibly seize the axle, which could lock the rear wheels while driving and...

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Jet Van: Slower Than a Jet, Fancier Than Most Vans

http://ift.tt/2oEXaWd To most people, high-end business travel starts and ends with a first-class plane ticket, but apparently for the terrestrial-bound few, it means a large van outfitted like Mar-a-Lago. What else explains German tuner Brabus’s constant obsession with Mercedes-Benz vans slathered in leather, TV screens, and other frippery? Now there’s another choice in the high-end market for business-travel vans: the Jet Van, a Mercedes-Benz...

On the Path to Autonomous Vehicles, Police Officers Get Left Behind

http://ift.tt/2no6zj2 While responding to reports of what looked like a routine car crash early on the evening of March 24, Officer Dustin Patterson of the Tempe, Arizona, police department became an unwitting pioneer of the autonomous age. On arriving at the scene, Patterson learned that one of Uber’s self-driving cars was among the four vehicles involved. The company had started testing in this Phoenix suburb only three months...

How to Get a Deal on a Used Car, Or: Why the Heck Did I Buy 20 Smart Cars?

http://ift.tt/2oPF6F6 It’s a common joke that winking at an auto auctioneer can get you into trouble. I found plenty of trouble recently thanks to my winking, as I am now the terrified owner of a small army of Smart Fortwo city cars. These cars have less than 12,000 miles on their odometers, are equipped with heated leather seats and upgraded sound systems, and are still fully covered by Mercedes-Benz’s four-year/50,000-mile...

Comfortably Dumb: If the Car Is Doing the Driving, Will Anybody Be Doing the Thinking?

http://ift.tt/2ppDJQI From the May 2017 issue If the dominant narrative holds and autonomous cars do colonize our roads, there will be no more mental calculations of time, distance, and speed. No best-guessing what that idiot in the left-turn lane will do instead of turning left. Not even any more weighing whether to grind your teeth, honk the horn, or flip the bird. Which doesn’t sound all bad. But will turning on an au­tono­mous vehicle...

Confirmed! Diesel-Powered BMW 540d Coming to the U.S.

http://ift.tt/2pCOAaK BMW soon will launch a diesel version of the newest 5-series sedan in the U.S. called the 540d, a company spokesperson has confirmed. The new diesel-powered sedan will join diesel versions of the 3-series, X3, and X5, all of which are currently for sale after passing more stringent EPA emissions testing for the 2017 model year. Although no official U.S. information is available yet, we assume the 540d will...

Five-Cylinder Fever! Audi Announces TT RS and RS3 Pricing

http://ift.tt/2q7IUCv Now that those who were imprinted by Group B cars as children have reached their prime earning years, Audi has smartly returned the departed TT RS to us and deigned to send along the RS3. Equipped with 400-hp turbocharged five-cylinder engines, just like Michèle Mouton used to run—only less laggy, more efficient, and featuring the aid of modern traction and stability control, therefore perhaps less likely to...

2017 Nissan Rogue Sport Saves Some Cash but Not Some Gas

http://ift.tt/2oxulLl Last year, the mid-size Rogue crossover became Nissan’s top-selling vehicle, surpassing the Altima as it climbed close to 330,000 yearly sales. When something is drawing in that many customers, it’d be foolish not to try to build on that momentum. So, for the 2017 model year, Nissan is expanding the brand and introducing the compact Rogue Sport (sold as the Qashqai elsewhere) to the U.S. market....

This Diesel-Powered BMW M550d Has As Many Turbos As a Bugatti

http://ift.tt/2pmLqXK BMW has concocted a recipe that will have many car enthusiasts salivating: a diesel-powered, nearly 400-hp, all-wheel-drive, quad-turbocharged 5-series that is available as a wagon. It’s called the M550d xDrive, and it joins the V-8–powered M550i as the second M Performance model in the new seventh-generation 5-series lineup. At least it does in Europe, where it’ll go on sale later this year. As is often the...

As Tears Go By: 1937 Talbot-Lago T150-C SS Goes Up for Auction

http://ift.tt/2q6JmkH The half-decade preceding Hitler’s invasion of France gave rise to some of the most majestic interpretations of the automobile in the device’s then half-century of existence. Although Citroën had aimed for the upper end of the mass market with its 1934 Traction Avant, featuring unibody construction, at the high end of the market the action was squarely in the body-on-frame, specialized-coachwork realm. Firms such...
