The Supercharger Is Ripe for a Comeback
Turbocharging has taken over the world. Automakers adopted the technology induction in the name of downsizing and efficiency, and it's quickly become the go-to method of aspiration. The supercharger, meanwhile, is practically extinct. But it may not stay that way; a supercharger renaissance is brewing. Photo by: Valeo Valeo Electric Supercharger The problem with superchargers is finding the power to drive them.
Skoda Wagon Tenaga Besar Ini adalah Sleeper Favorit Baru Kami
Skoda mungkin bukan merek yang familiar bagi sebagian besar orang Amerika, tetapi Skoda adalah produsen mobil yang populer di seluruh dunia, berada tepat di bawah Volkswagen dalam hal harga. Model andalannya, Skoda Superb, telah hadir selama dua dekade. Perusahaan ini merasa perlu untuk merayakannya bukan dengan edisi khusus yang biasa-biasa saja, tapi dengan versi wagon bertenaga besar.
This High-Power Skoda Wagon Is Our New Favorite Sleeper
Photo by: CAR magazine Skoda may not be a familiar brand to most Americans, but it's a popular automaker across the pond, sitting just below Volkswagen in terms of price. Its flagship model, the Skoda Superb, has been around for two decades now. The company has seen fit to celebrate the occasion not with a middling special edition, but a high-horsepower version of the wagon. Packing a modified 2.0-liter turbocharged VW engine, the tuned Superb puts out 470 horsepower.
Le nouveau système d'infodivertissement de BMW projette tout sur le pare-brise
Photo: BMW Le système BMW iDrive a été lancé en 2001. Au cours des 24 années qui se sont écoulées depuis, la technologie n'a fait que se développer, s'améliorer, s'affiner et se perfectionner. Mais cette dernière mise à jour pourrait bien être la plus importante à ce jour.
Sistem Infotainment Baru BMW Tumpahkan Semuanya ke Kaca Depan
Sistem iDrive BMW memulai debutnya pada tahun 2001. Dalam 24 tahun sejak saat itu, teknologinya semakin besar, lebih baik, lebih canggih, dan lebih maju. Namun, peningkatan terbaru ini mungkin merupakan yang paling signifikan. Sistem iDrive baru BMW membuang tren layar yang semakin besar, menghilangkan kluster instrumen, dan menempatkan lebih banyak informasi di kaca depan sehingga pengemudi dapat melihatnya dalam sekejap.
BMW Is Killing Off That Weird Feature You Never Used
Photo by: BMW Back in 2015 BMW unveiled a function called gesture control for the then-new 7 Series. You could spin your finger to adjust the volume, flick left or right to change a song, and other features best served by a button. The Bavarian automaker has apparently realized this, as it's just announced at CES it's killing gesture control. It's actually a little more nuanced than that, as BMW Blog reports.
Oh No: BMW's New Steering Wheel Is Upside Down
Photo by: BMW For as polarizing as BMW's exterior designs can be, its cabins are fairly pedestrian by comparison. Every new BMW has a few screens, some hard buttons, and leather—nothing out of the ordinary. But that's about to change. With the arrival of what BMW calls "Panoramic Vision," which consists of a full-width head-up display projected along the base of the windscreen, the Bavarian automaker's interiors are about to look way different.

BMW's New Infotainment System Throws Everything Onto the Windshield
Photo by: BMW BMW iDrive system debuted way back in 2001. In the 24 years since, the technology has only gotten bigger, better, fancier, and all-around more advanced. But this latest upgrade might be its most significant yet. BMW's new iDrive system ditches the trend of ever-larger screens, throws out the instrument cluster, and puts more information on the windscreen so the driver can see it at a glance.
"Jeder wollte den Hemi behalten" bis auf Stellantis Ex-CEO Tavares
Carlos Tavares ist, wie wir alle wissen, nicht mehr CEO von Stellantis. Und wie das nun mal so ist, kommen nach seinem Rücktritt einige Unternehmens-Insider aus ihren Löchern gekrochen, um eine Autopsie an seiner Zeit als Chef vorzunehmen. Es ist wirklich nicht schön, aber ein Teil der ganzen Saga ist besonders erschütternd. Zumindest für Verbrenner-Fans. "Jeder wollte [Hemi] behalten", sagte eine Quelle gegenüber CNBC. Tavares war angeblich die treibende Kraft hinter dem Tod des Kult-Motors.
Tutti volevano mantenere il V8 Hemi, Tavares ha deciso di farlo scomparire
Da meno di due settimane Carlos Tavares non è più l'amministratore delegato di Stellantis e quello che si è aperto è un periodo simile a una telenovela: ogni giorno succede qualcosa. Prima il rientro del Gruppo in Acea, poi il ritorno dell'ex numero uno di Dodge. Ora tocca ai sassolini nelle scarpe, con alcuni manager e dipendenti di Stellantis ad analizzare - in maniera critica - l'operato del manager portoghese.
Tim Kuniskis est de retour en tant que PDG de Ram
Tim Kuniskis, qui a pris sa retraite il y a quelques mois, était le dirigeant de Fiat-Chrysler à l'origine de l'ascension fulgurante de Dodge en tant que marque de performance entre 2014 et 2023. Alors que Stellantis est dans la tourmente, il est de retour. Après la démission du PDG du conglomérat, Carlos Tavares, Kuniskis est de retour à la tête de Ram Trucks, qu'il dirigeait avec Dodge avant de quitter l'entreprise l'année dernière.
Kembalinya Sang Raja: Tim Kuniskis Kembali sebagai CEO Ram
Pensiun beberapa bulan yang lalu, Tim Kuniskis adalah eksekutif Fiat-Chrysler yang berada di balik peningkatan pesat Dodge sebagai merek performa antara tahun 2014 dan 2023. Dengan Stellantis yang sedang mengalami kekacauan, ia kini telah kembali. Menyusul pengunduran diri CEO konglomerat tersebut, Carlos Tavares, Kuniskis kembali menjadi kepala Ram Trucks, yang ia pimpin bersama Dodge sebelum meninggalkan perusahaan tahun lalu.

Ford antecipa Mustang manual e terá 10 lançamentos no Brasil em 2025
A Ford está prometendo um 2025 agitado no mercado brasileiro. Tudo começou com uma postagem no Instagram antecipando uma novidade para o Mustang e fazendo uma relação com Ayrton Senna que promete agradar aos puristas do V8. No entanto, os planos da marca incluem um total de 10 lançamentos para o ano que vem que incluem até veículos comerciais.
'Everybody Wanted to Keep the Hemi' Except Stellantis Ex-CEO Tavares, Sources Say Original
Photo by: Stellantis Carlos Tavares is gone as Stellantis' CEO, and in the aftermath of his resignation, a number of company insiders have come forward to provide an autopsy on his time as chief executive. It's not pretty, but one part of the saga is particularly jarring. “Everybody wanted to keep [Hemi],” a source told CNBC. Tavares was allegedly the driver to kill it. The death of the Hemi V-8 being almost solely down to Tavares, if true, speaks to these broader management troubles.
Il dopo Tavares di Stellantis negli Stati Uniti riparte da qui
Chissà se sapremo mai come sono andate le cose tra Stellantis e Carlos Tavares, dimessosi poco più di una settimana fa dalla guida del Gruppo. Ciò che sta diventando ormai chiarò è come le scelte del manager portoghese non fossero particolarmente gradite dalla proprietà, al lavoro per sistemare le cose dal punto di vista aziendale su più livelli.
Return of the King: Tim Kuniskis Is Back as Ram CEO Original
Retiring just months ago, Tim Kuniskis was the Fiat-Chrysler executive behind Dodge's meteoric rise as a performance brand between 2014 and 2023. With Stellantis in turmoil, he has now returned. Following the resignation of the conglomerate's CEO, Carlos Tavares, Kuniskis is back as the head of Ram Trucks, which he led along with Dodge before departing the company last year. In the context of the automotive industry, this is a fairly shocking turn of events.
Mercedes lève le voile sur son système hybride F1
Les écuries de Formule 1 sont généralement peu enclines à partager quoi que ce soit au sujet de leurs groupes motopropulseurs respectifs. Mais maintenant que le développement du groupe motopropulseur est gelé jusqu'en 2026, Mercedes nous donne un aperçu très détaillé du fonctionnement de son système hybride. Et c'est extrêmement intéressant.

Lucid Could Use Two-Speed Transmissions in Future EVs
Although Lucid already makes the world's most efficient electric cars, it's keen to extend its lead. One area other automakers like Porsche have explored to boost their EVs' range is the use of two-speed transmissions. Lucid has yet to do so, but now it looks like it might apply the technology in its own unique way. If you don't know how Lucid's drive unit works, you should read up on it. The system is ingenious and, as it turns out, flexible.
Video: Das Turbinenauto von Jay Leno fährt wieder
Ungefähr sechs Jahre, nachdem Jay Leno sein unbezahlbares Chrysler Turbine Car bekommen hatte, schmolz der Motor zusammen. Sie haben vielleicht nicht gehört, dass das passiert ist, denn der ehemalige Moderator der Tonight Show hat anscheinend niemandem davon erzählt. Das lag vielleicht daran, dass er nicht wusste, ob es repariert werden konnte - eine vernünftige Annahme, die sich allerdings als falsch herausstellte.

Jay Leno Had His Turbine Car Rebuilt. Watch His First Drive Right Here
About six years after Jay Leno got his priceless Chrysler Turbine car, the engine melted down. You may not have heard it happened at the time because it didn't seem like the former Tonight Show host told anybody. That was perhaps because he didn't know if it could be fixed—a reasonable assumption, albeit one that turned out to be wrong. Leno's copper-colored two-door Chrysler, powered by its rebuilt turbine engine, hit the streets in August of this year as a part of the Woodward Dream Cruise.
Mercedes Shows Off the Wild Tech Behind Its F1 Hybrid System for the First Time
Formula 1 teams are typically cagey about sharing anything about their respective drivetrains. There's big advantages to be had under the hood after all, but now that powertrain development is frozen until 2026, Mercedes is giving us a very detailed look into how its hybrid system works. And it's extremely interesting. Like all other teams' systems, Mercedes' drivetrain consists of a combustion engine, two electric motors, a battery, and lots of power electronics.
Resmi: Cadillac Akan Bergabung dengan Formula 1 pada 2026
Setelah melalui proses panjang untuk masuk ke grid Formula 1, akhirnya General Motor telah disetujui. Tim Formula 1 Cadillac akan memasuki musim 2026 sebagai tim ke-11 dalam seri ini. Ini akan menjadi tim F1 Amerika pertama yang merupakan upaya dari bawah oleh produsen mobil besar Amerika. GM telah berjanji untuk memproduksi mesin F1 sendiri pada akhir dekade ini, meskipun pada awalnya akan menggunakan powertrain dari tim yang terpisah.
It's Official: Cadillac Will Join Formula 1 in 2026 Original
After a long saga trying to get onto the Formula 1 grid, General Motor's entry has finally been approved. The Cadillac Formula 1 team will enter the 2026 season as the 11th team in the series. It will be the first-ever American F1 team as a ground-up effort from a major American automaker. GM has promised to produce its own F1 engines by the end of the decade, although initially it will use a powertrain from a separate team.

I'm Building My Own Hybrid Sports Car. The First Mockup Is Finally Done
Determining the correct order of operations for any project can be difficult, but especially this one. There’s just so much to do, and first steps are the hardest to take. The last time we spoke, this project hadn’t really left the computer. But now I finally have a mockup to work with. For those who don’t know, I’m building my own hybrid sports car. It’s an all-wheel-drive machine powered by a rear-mounted 160-horsepower BMW K1600 motorcycle engine and a front-mounted 50-horsepower electric motor.
Meet the Toyota Cavalier. Yes, the Toyota Cavalier.
American cars have never been extremely popular in Japan, where domestic brands rule with an iron fist. The "why" of that fact is a matter of perspective, a reflection of the outlooks, governments, and indeed the cultures of each nation. But answering that question directly is perhaps less informative than meeting the curious Americans that slipped through the cracks. Meet the Toyota Cavalier. Yes, the Toyota Cavalier, a re-badged Chevy sold in Japan as a right-hand drive model during the 1990s.
La rivoluzione delle batterie con anodi in silicio è vicina

Silicon Anode EV Batteries Are The Real Deal, But It's Complicated
Consumers want faster charging and greater range in their EVs. Luckily, the next generation of batteries already exists; they’re just in the process of being industrialized. Solid-state battery makers send increasing quantities of production-intent samples to automakers, and they're set to transform the amount of energy we can store in battery packs. Conventional lithium-ion is far from dead, though.

GM's Electric Future Looks Bright. Ford On the Other Hand…
Until very recently, Ford was the second-largest electric automaker in the United States. That made it a popular talking point for analysts and brand enthusiasts alike. What was rarely mentioned, though, was the gap between Ford and Tesla. In 2023, Tesla delivered 1.81 million electric cars to Ford’s 72,608 units by comparison. A gaping chasm that was begging to be filled.

It Sure Looks Like GM Is Copying Lucid's Homework
Lucid Motors builds the most efficient electric vehicles in the world, and the rest of the auto industry wants a piece of that efficiency. Some, like Aston Martin, see fit to simply purchase the automaker's tech. Others want to develop it for themselves. One of those companies appears to be General Motors, which recently applied for a patent on a compact electric drive unit that uses one of Lucid's key architectural features: the differential-in-rotor design.
