Originally known as Aufrecht, Melcher, and Grossaspach, the independent tuner has a long history of increasing the performance of all kinds, but Mercedes-Benz was always its muse. This love affair was strengthened in 1999, when Daimler Benz took a controlling interest, and then finally solidified in 2005 when it was fully absorbed by the brand, ensuring only Mercedes models would ever wear the AMG badge from that point after. The luxury machines that have been created from this marriage are, to put it plainly, incredible. They’re forces…

The shape and silhouette are largely unchanged from the first-gen car—and they…

We now know the reason Ram got priority over Dodge with the return of the Hemi V8 engine. On Thursday, in Detroit, Michigan after presenting Stellantis’ turnaround plan CEO Antonio Filosa told The Drive, “40% of the buyers of a pickup won’t consider a specific pickup brand if this brand doesn’t offer a V8.” For a moment, Ram didn’t offer the V8 engine option anymore.

In-cabin cameras will also be installed to detect seatbelt misuse. Palao said: “Some taxi drivers, for example, who find the seatbelt uncomfortable, bypass the alarm system with fake buckles, but a camera will detect this and trigger an audible warning. “Using a camera, it will also be possible to detect If a passenger has their feet on the dashboard and how close individuals are sitting to the airbags.” What about hands-off driving?  Semi-autonomous car technology is expected to become more widely available in the next decade – but some firms already offer it today.

While building a family is a great thrill and privilege for most gearheads, one of the downsides is that your smaller and more performance-orientated cars are no longer suitable for the daily challenges you’ll face with a family. As a result, the change to a vehicle such as a crossover or SUV must be made to keep things moving smoothly. These kinds of cars tend to be designed to get the job done rather than get the pulse racing, making them a pretty dull proposition. Fortunately, there are some more interesting options out there for those who want to preserve…

Their study was carried out for TransiT, a UK-based collaboration of eight universities and around 70 industry partners working on the decarbonisation of…
