  • 2018 Roush F-250 Super Duty

    If you're looking for performance on a grand scale, Roush's take on the F-250 Super Duty may be the way to go. The Ford tuner extraordinaire has started a tuning program for the F-250 that enhances the look of the vehicle and improves its performance off-road, all while maintaining the factory payload and towing capabilities. The package is designed for F-250s equipped with the 6.7-liter turbocharged V-8 diesel engine and includes an exhaust system to let the 440 horsepower, 925 pound-feet of torque monster breathe a little easier. The rest of the upgrades are mainly cosmetic although Roush...

    Watch a Cadillac Escalade smoke a Camaro ZL1 1LE

    Of course, Hennessey Performance Engineering tuned a Cadillac Escalade. But, not only has HPE tuned and modified the giant luxury SUV, the company has turned it into a drag strip slayer.

  • 2018 Trans Am 455 Super Duty Racing

    Trans Am Depot has built an even more extreme version of its 1,000-horsepower 455 Super Duty based on the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro that we saw last year. The new car, which tacks on the Racing designation, was built as a dedicated drag racer designed to challenge the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. But did the company really need to dial up the performance to challenge the Dodge? In an interview with Motor Trend published on Thursday, Tran Am Depot said it was happy with the 1,000-hp output of the 455 Super Duty but wanted to produce the same amount of power at the wheels for the 455...

  • Classic Mini with electric powertrain
    Classic Mini made electric for New York auto show

    Mini didn't have a new car to present at the 2018 New York auto show. Instead, it had an old one. A very old one. The British brand unveiled a classic Mini on Wednesday in the Big Apple, one with an electric powertrain conversion. Why, you ask? Mini will launch an electric version of its Hardtop...

    Katech supercharges the Chevy Camaro ZL1 up to 760 wheel horsepower

    Katech takes your stock standard General Motors machine and turns it into something you should be afraid to drive.

  • Trans Am Depot Super Duty 455
    How Trans Am Depot designed its 455 Super Duty Trans Am

    With the demise of the Pontiac brand came the end of a long lineage of muscle cars.

It means quite a bit to the team at Trans Am Depot, which decided the show must go on...

  • 2018 Hennessey HPE600 Lincoln Navigator
    Lincoln Navigator gets boost from Hennessey, but still no V-8

    Lincoln's Navigator impresses with its luxury and presence, but with a curb weight approaching 6,000 pounds the big SUV could definitely do with some added performance. Sure, the stock 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 is perfectly adequate with its 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, but...

  • Armored Peugeot 205 GTI

    The Peugeot 205 GTI never arrived to battle the Volkswagen Golf GTI on our shores. That's a shame because the ensuing hot hatch shootouts could've been the stuff of legend. Were it our money, we'd track down the 205 T16 model with its race-ready upgrades. There's another version that's recently come up for sale, however, and this one might just be the most interesting Peugeot 205 GTI on the planet. It's also the safest because of its armor protection. Yes, this is an amored Peugeot 205. Purchased new by Bernard Arnault, this unassuming mode of transportation housed a billionaire with some...

  • Hennessey Exorcist Camaro ZL1 hits 217 mph during top speed run

    You can bet Hennessey Performance Engineering had one figure in mind when developing the Exorcist Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: the Dodge Challenger Demon's 9.65-second quarter-mile time. And it's not a surprise HPE was able to top the 9.65-second time with a 9.57-second quarter-mile run. Hennessey released video evidence of the run in a YouTube video, which shows the Exorcist Camaro rocket down the drag strip and clip 147 mph. As a refresher, the Exorcist Camaro hits 60 mph in 2.1 seconds and 100 mph in just 4.7 seconds. All of those figures trump the Dodge Demon, though the Demon accomplishes its...

    DMC Tuning takes the Lamborghini Aventador and adds lightness

    In its standard form, the Lamborghini Aventador is a powerful super machine that snaps necks as fast as onlookers snap pics with their phones.
