  The handsome new Audi A6 Avant previews the next generation sedan for the United States - Car Audi is in the process of redesigning its core models. Audi first unveiled the 2025 A5 car, the successor to the long-running A4. Next came the 2025 Q5, which marked the beginning of the third generation of the brand's best-selling car. Audi is now introducing a new A6, presenting the mid-size vehicle in Avant wagon configuration initially. While the 2017 A6 Avant will not be available in the United States—at least not in non-RS or Allroad configurations—a sedan will undoubtedly follow, with many of the same enhancements as Europe's Avant. Sleek Styling and 48-Volt Assistance The handsome new Audi A6 Avant previews the next generation sedan for the United States - Car At first sight, the new A6 Avant does not appear to be a drastically fresh design, but its sharp creases and wide front grille give it an authoritative, sleek appearance that differs significantly from the austere a...

  The Ælla-60 Is a Lightweight, Ferrari-Powered, Manual Sports Car    Amidst the massive screens, AI voice assistants, and hands-free driving systems, there is a need for a return to purity in the world of sports vehicles and supercars. Gordon Murray's T.50 is one of the most alluring hypercars in recent memory, thanks to its sleek design, naturally aspirated V-12 engine, and six-speed manual transmission. Rather than designing an automobile from the ground up, some have heavily modified classics, such as Touring Superleggera's Ferrari 550-based Veloce12. Anthony Jannarelly's Art Machines has launched a new product, the Ælla-60. Jannarelly's new company, Art Machines by AJ, launched its first product, the Ælla-60. It, like the 360, is powered by a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V-8 engine positioned in the center and connected to a six-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

Turn Your New Land Cruiser Into an Off-Road Weapon (Cars Exblog)

Turn Your New Land Cruiser Into an Off-Road Weapon (Cars) Say hello to the AT37, a customized Toyota Land Cruiser created by Arctic Trucks. On the exterior, it resembles a Land Cruiser with large tires. But there is a little more to it than that. Arctic Trucks—the same company that developed Top Gear's Hilux fleet for the infamous Polar Special—targeted the current Land Cruiser with a slew of modifications. The basic suspension is replaced with a two-way adjustable configuration that includes longer-travel coilovers in the front. New springs and dampers support the rear, giving the modified Toyota a modest 1.5-inch suspension lift. Arctic Trucks' 17-inch wheels are shod with BFGoodrich T/A K03 37-inch tires (thus the AT37 designation), and a 10-piece widebody kit is installed to ensure they fit without rubbing. Turn Your New Land Cruiser Into an Off-Road Weapon (Cars) These are add-ons, but the modifications are far more extensive. The LC's entire chassis and body are rede...

Alfa Romeo Changes Its Mind—Gas Engines Are Staying (Cars)

  Alfa Romeo Changes Its Mind—Gas Engines Are Staying (Cars) Like dominoes, aspirational EV goals are collapsing one after the other across the automotive sector. Alfa Romeo is the latest brand to reverse its initial decision to eliminate combustion engines. The Italian company, part of the Stellantis empire, had planned to go 100% electric in North America by 2027, but those plans have changed. The new goal is to implement a "multi-energy" approach, which includes gas, electric, and plug-in hybrid automobiles. According to Automotive News, Alfa Romeo North America CEO Chris Feuell stated at the NADA Show that forcing dealers to sell solely electric vehicles in just a few years would be too limiting. "We've got 110 dealers ... in our US network, and it would be very challenging for them to survive with a BEV-only portfolio." The company already has enough troubles, with US sales decreasing by 19% last year to 8,865 vehicles. It's worth recalling that when Al...
