The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye… is ridiculous
/
/
comments
This is a ridiculous machine. It’s crazy that Dodge makes this. It’s wild that you can walk into a dealership, give them your many dollars, and leave with the keys to one of these. This is the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye, and I love it. You can think of it as a sort of sub-Demon.…

comments
I’m here to tell you, that if Audi built its Ur Quattro for today’s world; it would look like the 2019 Q8. This is a car-buying realm filled with the crossover obsessed. That might not be you, but it is the majority and automakers are paying attention. In fact, for Audi specifically, crossovers accounted for 60%…

Bentley Bentayga: Does the V8 make it great?

comments
In 2017, we drove Bentley’s foray into the increasingly crowded SUV market. The Bentayga is a luxurious option for those that think a Range Rover is a bit down market. Bentley first brought out its Bentayga fitted with a W12 engine. Now the British automaker has returned with a new power option; a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter…

comments
I say awesome a lot in this one, fair warning. This is something you might call an “in-between car”. You can take it to the track, to the canyons, and deep into the woods. This is a Safari Porsche 911 from the folks at Makellos Classics in Escondido, California. http://hooniverse.info/2018/04/04/makellos-classics-1973-porsche-2-7-rs-hot-rod/ This car started life as…

comments
We’ve been eagerly waiting for this drive. Hyundai wants to get serious about performance and, for us here in the States, the first taste of this notion is the Veloster N. N it’s pretty damn good. This is a 275-horsepower Hyundai hot hatch with all the right ingredients. A stiff chassis, sorted suspension, slick-shifting 6-speed…

The Ford Mustang Bullitt is the right way to go green
/
/
comments
Forget the movie, embrace the awesome of the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt. Dripping with perfect Highland Green paint and stanced nicely with a set of blacked-out torque thrust-style wheels, the all-new Bullitt is a bad-ass ride. Under the hood is a power-bumped 5.0-liter V8 engine and it’s making 480 horsepower here. Row your own gears…

The Ford Transit is a plus-size sports car
/
/
comments
I promise this isn’t clickbait. You’re about to be shocked by the full-size Ford Transit Van. That’s because you can equip it with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V6 engine that cranks out 310 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Is this the potential return of Supervan? With some light modification, it just might be. [Disclaimer: Ford…

710 horsepower. Rear-wheel drive. Spaceship supercar styling. Easily daily drivable? Yes. The McLaren 720S is technically fantastic, a marvel for the eyes, and …totally fine chugging along about town. But we’re not going to do that last bit today. Woking’s finest have crafted one hell of a Super Series machine. This vehicle lies in the…

2019 Aston Martin Vantage: The best car Aston Martin has ever built

/
comments
We’ve adored the cars even when they arrive with faults. That ends now, because there’s nothing to overlook anymore. The 2019 Aston Martin Vantage is the best car the British automaker has ever built. Sure, a handful of credit is owed to technical partner AMG for making this so. These lines though, they’re Aston Martin…

2019 Hyundai Veloster: Time for a proper do over
/
/
comments
Hyundai has taken its Veloster back to the drawing board. The result? A sporty-looking economy car has become the entertaining hot hatch we’ve always wanted it to be. This is the 2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec. That means it’s packing a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine making 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Paired with…
