  • 2015 Ford Mustang tuned by Hennessey Performance

    Hennessey Performance recently announced some power upgrades for the 2015 Ford Mustang, with the most potent being the HPE700 package for the V-8-powered Mustang GT. The package’s official power rating is 717 horsepower, but as this video of a HPE700-equipped Mustang GT on the dyno shows the package’s actual power rating could be even higher.

    It’s hard to believe that the Bugatti Veyron is now a decade old. When the car first hit the scene, its 987-horsepower rating (1,001 hp in metric figures) seemed out of this world for a production car, but now that kind of power is standard when you’re talking top-level supercars...

    Lexus Gets Desperate, Tries To Justify Why Its RC 350 Is Better Than A BMW 435i: Video

    While it’s not uncommon for an automaker to compare its product with a rival’s offering for marketing purposes, a new video from Lexus comparing the 2015 RC 350 with a 2015 BMW 435i is downright bizarre. We would even go as far as to say that it borders on desperation. ALSO SEE...

    All of those reports about power being down on early examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 due to the ongoing break-in process (with full power to come just a few hundred miles down the road) aside, there are worse things that can happen with a new supercar engine. For example, they can lunch themselves with just 891 miles on the odometer. Today we mourn the first known 2015 Z06 engine to die.

    The street isn’t an appropriate place to race for a hundred different reasons, not least of which is the stupidity of doing 150-plus-mph in an open environment, without proper emergency support or safety gear. But hey, people are going to do it anyway, so we may as well enjoy the fruits of...
