With 1,035 horsepower and a 4.5-liter supercharger, this tuned Challenger SRT Demon is incredibly quick and sounds even better. After showing off the ability of its HPE1000 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon to cross the quarter mile in 9.14 seconds, Hennessey now highlights what it’s like to drive the 1,035-horsepower (772 kilowatts) beast in a slightly more civil manner….

Back in 2004, Mercedes defined the modern four-door coupe with the very first Mercedes-Benz CLS, which was basically an E-Class intentionally bent out of shape in a tragic styling exercise incident. Now there’s a third generation with an exciting new straight six engine, and it’s a hoot to drive and much easier on the eyes. (Full disclosure: Mercedes-Benz…

That’s as true today as it was 50 years ago, except now the experience can be ridiculously comfortable with a 2018 Ford F-150 diesel and a downright futuristic Airstream Basecamp trailer. (Full disclosure: Ford loaned me the F-150 diesel and Airstream’s PR outfit set up the trailer…

Photo Credits: David Tracy The 2019 Ram 1500 Tradesman is supposed to be “the cheap one,” but once you start spec’ing items like the big engine and towing packages that unlock the truck’s maximum capability, the price creeps up quickly. Meanwhile, the interior’s still pretty spartan. Here’s what that all-business configuration is like to drive. Back in…

 Kevin won a bet with his wife, and while the details of the wager are a mystery, the important part is that he is now going to spend some $200,000 to $300,000 on a seriously fast car. But he’s not sure which direction to go. What car should he buy? (Welcome back to What Car Should You…

When someone says ‘kit car’ what most people think is ‘dangerously half-assed.’ Today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe Superlite may be dangerous, but it seems far from half-anything. Let’s see if its awesomeness makes it worth its asking. If you’re going to make something different, your goal should always be to make it better, right? Changing something…

The most powerful production versions of the Corvette and 911 probe the boundaries of road-car capabilities. From the August 2018 issue Rivalries never rest.

The Porsche badge on the hood is covered, but the automaker isn’t fooling anyone. Perhaps the best thing about this latest round of spy shots for the refreshed Porsche Cayman GT4 is what we can’t see. In truth, we see pretty much everything, and as you’d come to expect from Porsche the changes are minimal. We spy slightly redesigned side…

We might have just found the king of the unofficial Raptors. The Raptor is an amazing piece of machine. Its humungous size, imposing bodywork, and appropriately powerful power plants make it an attractive vehicle for those looking for appropriate horse and pulling power for their Ford monster truck.
