The next generation of Ford’s popular F-Series pickup truck is still a few years away, but the signs suggest a huge technological leap for the best-selling model line in the United States. Specifically, the 2028 F-Series could adopt by-wire technology for steering and braking, which eliminates a mechanical connection between the steering wheel/wheels and brake pedal/brake pads. Instead, a series of sensors, motors, and electronics will replace these conventional components. But why does Ford loo

The third generation of the Porsche Panamera was first unveiled toward the end of 2023, so the 976 chassis is still relatively new, yet Stuttgart is already preparing some improvements. Our spy photographers have captured some of these updates on prototype development mules undergoing cold-weather testing ahead of the 2028 model year's launch, which is expected later this year or early in 2027, but the most significant changes will be invisible to the naked eye. While America may be loosening em

Stacey is back at it in this episode of Gearz, working on his 240Z project which is getting some suspension and brake upgrades to keep this project moving. These cars have a ton of high performance heritage and a lot of available parts, so these are going to be a pretty legit improvement that will make it a riot to drive when it is all done. Video Description: This time on GEARZ, Stacey rolls the 240Z onto the lift and starts laying out the new brakes and suspension that’s going to go under it

The Three Cars That Changed Bugatti’s Modern Strategy Edition One-Off – the same channel that brought the secret, most expensive Bugatti collection to the light – is back with another video. This time, it highlights a pivotal moment in the French marque's modern history, revealing how three extraordinary hypercars reshaped the company’s future. According to the video, the record-breaking Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, the track-focused Bugatti Divo, and the ultra-exclusive Bugatti Centodieci c

Everyone loves a big elaborate custom build, but I have to say that I also really love the simple, quick, and budget friendly builds like this one from Puddin’s Fab Shop. I wish more of my unfinished projects had stayed simple and budget friendly so I could be driving more of them right now. This video below is all about the fun 1984 S10 pickup that Puddin recently bought and spent just three days making into something special. I totally approve, as the end result really is something that would

That’s what Cornes & Co did here in Japan, and with that, we’re left with The Magarigawa Club. The Magarigawa Club is not hot off the press news, it’s actually been open for a little over 18 months now, but since it’s doors have opened, I had yet to have the chance to visit and see what […] The post 3 Days At The World’s Most Luxurious Race Track appeared first on Speedhunters.

Remember when Mercedes-AMG laughed in the face of downsizing? The 2005 CL65 AMG you see here is one of the great examples of AMG’s loudest, craziest era. Its V12 engine’s monumental torque is fed to the rear wheels exclusively, so it’s a handful off the mark. And, now that Mercedes has discontinued the CL and subsequent S-Class Coupe, these cars—and especially AMG versions—are becoming more valuable. Even so, nobody could have been prepared for the shocking selling price of this particular CL65.

Drivers across large parts of the United States could face dramatically different weather hazards this weekend as a powerful spring weather pattern spreads across the country. While the eastern half of the nation prepares for temperatures far above seasonal averages, the central Plains are facing a very different risk: strong, dry winds capable of rapidly spreading wildfires. Forecasters say the unusual combination of record-breaking warmth in the East and critical fire weather conditions in the

Reliable Honda Engine, but Not Magical Honda’s 1.5-liter turbocharged four in the CR-V has built a reputation as a generally solid everyday engine. Owners with regular maintenance report high mileage with few issues, often pointing out that the motor itself is happy as long as you keep up with oil and fluids. It is not flawless, though. Early CR-Vs with this engine became known for fuel dilution, where gasoline seeps into the oil during lots of short trips and cold running, thinning the lubrican

It's Already Being Called The Great EV Return More than 300,000 electric vehicles are expected to come off lease in 2026 alone, and they are about to flood the used car market. For buyers, that surge could finally create the kind of EV bargains that have been missing for years. Three years ago, EV leasing surged as incentives peaked and early adopters jumped in. Now those three-year contracts are ending, and thousands of those vehicles are returning to dealerships almost all at once. Dave Thomas

Here we go again with another one of Derek’s Vice Grip Garage Christmas Extras. This time he’s taking the Texas 1957 Chevrolet on a road trip for a trade. He has no clue how good the trade is, as he’s made arrangements without seeing this thing, and he’s had to do some work to the ’57 in order for it to make the 350 mile trip. Will it make it after getting some love? And will the trade be worth it? Will it make it home? Hmmm Video Description: The Texas 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is back. I spent

The Storm Prediction Center has flagged four consecutive days of severe weather from Saturday, April 11 through Tuesday, April 14, across the south-central United States. Sunday is the day to worry about. Dallas, Oklahoma City, Wichita, Tulsa and Joplin are in the primary threat corridor for two to three of those days, with tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds exceeding 60 mph all on the table. If you are driving I-35, I-44, I-40 or I-20 between Texas and Missouri this weekend, you need to e

Just a few days after Hyundai had to recall over 50,000 Elantra Hybrids for a fire risk, the automaker has had to initiate another recall—and this one is a lot bigger. Over 420,000 Hyundai models have now been recalled for a forward collision system that could unexpectedly activate the brakes. This comes a few months after Hyundai was sued for phantom braking in certain Tucson models. The issue has led to four reported rear-end crashes after Hyundai models erroneously activated their brakes, so

Recalls Aren’t Always a Bad Thing Recalls get a bad rap, but most of the time, they show the system is doing its job. Automakers use recalls to fix problems that slip through production or supplier checks. Most are voluntary and wrapped up without fuss. That said, Mazda called back the CX-90 two years ago to fix a steering issue linked to the power-assisted steering gear. The problem? Drivers felt the steering wheel growing heavier, apparently due to excessive friction in a worm gear within the

Airbags have saved thousands of lives over the last few decades, but these safety devices can also result in injuries if they deploy incorrectly or at the wrong time. That’s the issue facing over 440,000 Honda Odyssey minivans, which have just been recalled. According to newly published information on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website, some Odyssey models have airbags that could deploy unexpectedly. The problem has already resulted in 25 reports of an injury, so here’s

An Art Deco Restomod That Stands Out Restomods have become a whole scene of their own, with countless builders remixing vintage silhouettes into something more usable today. There’s a lot of talent out there, but only a few projects really manage to rise above the noise. Every so often, one lands with a presence that doesn’t feel forced or overly modernized. That’s the case with a new speedster restomod unveiled by Iconic Auto Sports. The company already has a reputation for painstaking craftsma

The Pursuit of Speed A report from CBS6 Albany highlights the addition of 19 Ford Mustang GT units to the New York State Police fleet. While not as utilitarian as a Ford Explorer, the department says the Mustangs can support enforcement efforts – particularly in aggressive driving, excessive speeding, and deterrence. This Mustang model is based on the latest S650 generation. One of the 19 units was used as a prototype for training and evaluation, with the first deployment set for this week in Tr

A True Car Guy CEO To whoever told Akio Toyoda that 'Lexus is boring' straight to his face many, many years ago, let's just say that the kin of the world's biggest automaker took it very personally. But instead of throwing a tantrum and sulking in a corner, he led the charge to prove that person — and the world — wrong. He promised himself that Toyota would no longer make boring cars, and looking at its offerings now, Morizo made good on that vow. Granted, they still make NPC cars, but who would

The age-old question, “Can a car be an investment?” The answer, of course, is yes, it can be, if you choose well and time it right. Having mentioned the timing, we take a look at five modern classics that have appreciated over five years, and we predict that they will continue to appreciate in the foreseeable future. Explaining the Market The market for classic cars, specifically, and used cars in general, has seen record performance in recent years, and one could argue that this is due to the h

50 Years of Honda Accord While the Civic expanded Honda's horizons worldwide, it was the Accord that helped the brand make a huge impact on America. It made its world premiere on May 7, 1976, as a compact hatchback, with the sedan added in 1977. Since then, it has become a firm favorite, even becoming America's best-selling car from 1989 to 1991, and again in 2001. 11 generations have been built since then, and even if midsize sedan sales are no longer as strong as they once were, it's impossibl

Lamborghini at 63 Lamborghini celebrated its 60th anniversary, er, three years ago. Still, we think it's a brand worth talking about. While it seems that Lamborghini is at an all-time high, it wasn't always that way. Those well aware of the brand's history would know that it went through a period of uncertainty, and it took a while to achieve lasting stability. With that, we're listing down the cars that got things started for Lamborghini, brought it back from the brink, and made it as strong as

The Microcar Resurgence One could say that microcars boomed in the postwar years in Europe. The desire for personal mobility was strong, and the 1956 Suez Crisis, which drove up fuel prices, helped their cause. Also called bubble cars, notable examples include the Messerschmitt KR200, the Peel P50, and the BMW Isetta. Microcars eventually fell out of favor, but they would remain popular in France as Voitures Sans Permis or VSC, literally meaning car without a license. These VSCs can be driven wi

With electrification becoming less of a priority for automakers, most drivers' attention has again turned to gas prices. Whether you drive an ICE vehicle or a hybrid, gas prices will continue to be an expense you have to live with. You might think gas prices are high where you live - and you might be right! - but we’ve found the five US cities and towns that have some of the worst gas prices around. To be clear, we’re not simply listing the cities or small towns with the highest gas prices. That

We’ve said it multiple times, but it still makes me smile when I see heads up no-prep racers running an index class, and the awesome popularity of Lil’ Gangsta’s and other classes like them. There are similar classes being held all over the country now, some in No Time format and some with times showing. I don’t care which one you like or participate in as long as cars are coming out and racing. These classes are drawing big numbers of cars and real payouts, so it is no wonder that our friends a

Opel’s 50,000-Pixel Headlight Gambit Opel is betting big on brains over brute force with the new Astra and Astra Sports Tourer, unveiled at the 2026 Brussels Motor Show. The headline feature is Adaptive Intelli-Lux HD lighting, a system boasting more than 50,000 individual light elements, 51,200 to be exact, now trickling down from their Grandland SUV, which shares a platform with the Jeep Compass, to Opel’s compact car. On paper, the technology is designed to dramatically improve nighttime vis
