Today we hit the drag strip to test a pair of powerful sport utility vehicles for pure performance. This contest between European automakers also involves an added element of intrigue pitting all-electric against internal combustion. Let’s have a glance at the machinery. Matt (from Car Wow) is in the Lotus Eletre R. This thing uses an electric motor on each axle to generate the equivalent of 903hp and 726 lb.-ft. of torque. At a curb weight of 5,850-pounds, this heavyweight can blow through the standing quarter mile in 10.3-seconds and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7-seconds. At a Read More

Adjectives used to describe the new Bugatti Bolide include deranged, demonic and excessive. All of these apply – and more. At a sticker price of $3.5 million, the Bolide has done away with frivolity and embraced one of the most tremendous powertrains ever produced in a pure race car. Shall we have a look? At the heart of this predatory beast is an 8.0-liter quad turbo W16 engine capable of producing 1,578hp. At a dry vehicle weight of 2,733-pounds, the all-wheel drive Bolide can rocket from 0 to 62 mph in 2.17-seconds and continue to 100 mph in just 4.36-seconds. Read More

These enthusiasts are taking this grudge race to the streets (of Mexico) for some satisfaction in the form of roll racing. The competitors will be pushing their modern-day muscle cars to the brink in a series of wide-open-throttle disputes measured in maximum miles per hour. Put on your big boy britches and buckle-up, it’s time to go street racing. In the right lane is the Ford Mustang GT. It comes from the factory with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Maximum output is rated at 460hp in stock condition.

Well, Shawn from Autotopia LA has found another hot rod over which we gearheads can drool. Owned by Griffin Steinfeld, this 1200hp supercharged monster is delivered in an unlikely package. Minus the wheel tubs and massive rear tires, one might assume that this Volvo 240DL Wagon is just your ordinary grocery getter. The front suspension and brakes are factory. Period. The rear suspension setup is custom four-link with fully adjustable shocks. The front wheels are also stock Volvo. The rears are Weld Racing. Griffin is running a 370 cubic-inch GM overhead cam LS V8 engine. It’s professionally built by Hustler Read More

Running on the streets (of Mexico) tonight, we have a shootout between import and domestic. The Chevy is bone stock and the BMW is only slightly modified for performance. Shall we examine the chariots? In white is the 2021 BMW M5 Competition. Equipped with a twin turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine, the all-wheel drive M5 is capable of producing 617hp and 553 lb.-ft. of torque in stock trim. Tipping the scales at 4,237-pounds, this BMW can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in 10.9-seconds @ 128 mph. Top speed is 190 mph and this Read More

These are some of the heaviest – and fastest – cars in the west and they’re getting prepared to face off in single elimination drag racing action. Vehicles must weigh more than 4,200-pounds to compete in the Heavyweight Class at Street Car Takeover (SCT) Denver. As you can imagine, this class will draw many trucks, SUVs and all-wheel drive vehicles that tend to be a bit viscous. Let’s take a look at the roster as the First Round begins. Up first is the fastest Cadillac CTS-V in the World. He’s claiming a 7-second standing quarter-mile and looking good doing so. Read More

There is no way that a compact SUV can run with a modified muscle car, right? No way that a grocery getter can hang in there with a hard-charging V8 sports car that has a stripped-out cockpit. It ain’t happening, correct? A decade ago, the answer would have been a resounding “yes”. Fortunately, today’s SUV will not be denied the chance to shine. The SUV in question is the 2020 Audi SQ5 with Quattro all-wheel drive. In factory condition, the SQ5 is not terribly impressive from a performance standpoint. However, the all-wheel drivetrain and turbocharged V6 offer a firm foundation Read More

Far across the pond, somewhere in jolly old England, the Carwow staff have assembled a trio of luxurious sports sedans. Currently in various stages of modification, these European models will line up – side-by-side – and put it all on the line in a series of drag races. This should be fun. On the left is the all-wheel drive BMW M8 Gran Coupe with its 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 engine. At a curb weight of 4,365-pounds the M8 can produce 625hp at peak RPM. In stock trim this top-tier BMW could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7-seconds and Read More

It’s on like hotcakes on these Texas streets tonight. We’ve got a 1,100hp Nissan GT-R, an Underground Racing Lamborghini Huracan and a McLaren 720S. There’s even a pair of Toyotas duking it out in the first race. These Toyotas are both red and both are sporting massive turbochargers. One is an MK4 and the other is an MK5. This should be a wild one. It’s for the Toyota Championship. After the MK4 Supra got whooped in the first race, he rolled out against the Street Science Nissan GT-R. The Toyota is claiming 1,200hp but this Nissan is the daddy rabbit. Read More

Fishtailing and eating pavement at will, Smiley’s 1970 Ford Mustang is a family artifact that has finally reached fruition. Grandpa Smiley originally bought the Mustang and handed it down to Smiley’s dad who passed it to Smiley a few years ago (when he was sixteen). Unfortunately, Smiley’s dad has passed away since then. From what we can see, Smiley took a firm hand and set about correcting all those Ford mistakes. What he has created is a daily driver that is a rolling work of art. Rolling on ESR wheels wrapped in Toyo rubber – they are 19 x 9.5 Read More
