Hushed Horses: Ford Adds Quiet Exhaust Mode to 2018 Mustang GT

http://ift.tt/2hjd19E Not everyone loves the sound of a V-8 engine’s exhaust note first thing in the morning, which is why the 2018 Ford Mustang GT‘s optional active exhaust system comes equipped with a Quiet operating mode. As in other cars equipped with active exhaust systems, the 2018 Mustang GT’s optional pipes are able to adjust the amount of noise released from its exhaust pipes courtesy of valves that open and close...

Sweet W116: We Take a Spin in the First-Gen Mercedes-Benz S-class

http://ift.tt/2vmwiNR On the occasion of our first drive of the revised 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-class, we also were afforded the opportunity to drive an example of the first Mercedes to use that model designation, a W116 version, and the contrast was marked. A shiny, well-sorted car from the factory’s Classic Center in Stuttgart, the W116 our hosts rolled out was an S350 from 1979, a car from late in the production run that in its home market...

Although Bollinger will have to clear many hurdles before it can bring this all-electric SUV to market, it’s refreshingly different...

Prefab Parts Promise Faster Fix for Decrepit Bridges

http://ift.tt/2vbvkDL When a trio of homeless men allegedly lit a pile of construction materials ablaze beneath an I-85 overpass in Atlanta, Georgia, in late March, the conflagration destroyed a 100-foot section of the bridge, which plummeted to the ground and brought traffic to a halt. With a chunk missing from a major transportation artery in one of the world’s most congested cities, highway officials knew they had to act fast—that...

Stand and Deliver: Elon Musk Hands Off First Tesla Model 3 Production Cars

http://ift.tt/2uHhdVA Eleven years ago, Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed the Secret Tesla Motors Master Plan. In it, Musk laid out the vision for his upstart electric car company: Build an electric sports car (the Tesla Roadster), use the profits “to build an affordable car” (which became Models S and X), and use that money to make “an even more affordable car.” Tonight, the first Tesla Model 3 sedans were delivered to owners...

Anybody With $500K Can Buy a Ballistic Non-Hybrid Acura NSX GT3 Race Car

http://ift.tt/2v7KzNm When the reborn Acura NSX debuted, some claimed it to be overly complicated, saying that Acura had killed the essence of what once made the original car so great. The hybrid powertrain, the all-wheel-drive setup, and the hyper-exotic styling all seemed out of character to those forgetting that NSX stands for New Sportscar eXperimental. Presumably, the purists were happier when Acura launched the NSX...
