The unveiling of the next generation GTI was somewhat disappointing. The Mk VI only had a 10hp gain over the Mk V, and performed at almost exactly the same speeds. As such, people like me, who have a slightly (just slightly) overenthusiastic love of ze people’s car, were rather let down. I was hoping for 240 hp out of the new GTI, not 210. If one wanted a hot hatch with more power, one had to hunt down a rare .:R32, which had a 3.2l 250hp V6 under the bonnet and AWD. The problem with the .:R32, other than the fact that there are virtually none in North America, is that is isn’t really much faster than a normal GTI on account of weight. The .:R32 also drank a lot more gas, and was known to have more engine problems than the GTI. Not a terribly good deal in my opinion. VW is giving us the car we all want, however. Find out after the jump.

Because the 3.4 second 0-60 and 205 mph top speed of the Corvette ZR1 is far too slow, Hennessey has brought the engine up from “crazy” to “ludicrous.” The 638 hp 6.2l LS9 engine has been tuned to provide a full 705 horses. The lunatics at Hennessey have added a new supercharger pulley, increasing the system’s psi by three, as well as replacing some other small parts with higher performing versions of their own. Hit the jump for Hennessey’s future plans.

Diesel engines have been around for decades and in certain applications, they rule. Transport trucks, farm equipment and large boats all rely on diesel power for effective propulsion. Why hasn’t this been the case with cars and light trucks? Diesel cars have been available in Europe or some time, in fact 60% of the new [...]

During 2008, North American motorists discovered an international reality that we had been held safe from for over thirty years. Gasoline costs money. Rising fuel costs actually impacted North American motorists and we flooded the dealerships searching for vehicles that were more economical to operate. The result of this panic was an endless supply of [...]
