It's true that horsepower directly correlates to speed. All other factors being equal, an SUV rated at 150 hp is going to have a tougher time getting up to 60 miles per hour than an SUV rated at 200 hp. But we also like big numbers because we're humans and we love quantifying things. When you tell us there's a 5.2-liter supercharged Ford F-150 Raptor that cranks out 720 horses, well, we want to see that monster in action.

The Average Horsepower In American Cars Is Higher Than You Think

Mercedes' Most Important Models Are Going Electric Soon

W8 engine cars never caught on. In fact, "cars" isn't the right word because only one ever reached mass production. The Volkswagen Passat W8 is a truly one-of-a-kind car, as no other production vehicle has ever packed eight cylinders in a W formation. The reason why VW made it is even more interesting and relates to the most successful 12-cylinder in history, which was recently killed off. Here's what you need to know about one of Volkswagen's weirdest models.

How depraved and brazen would you have to be to stick your cell phone under the door of a changing room at a store to get a picture of a woman trying on clothes? Well, that happened in Buena Park on July 19, at 10:40 a.m.

It's always great to receive a discount, whether big or small. In the automotive industry, incentives tend to be rare in the upper echelon, where customers neither want nor need a price cut. That hasn't stopped Mercedes from applying hefty discounts to its ultra-luxury Maybach lineup, with customers able to save as much as $20,000.

Mercedes' Latest Discount Could Be The Most Pointless Ever

Lamborghini is getting ready to unveil the all-new baby supercar, the replacement for the beloved V10-powered Huracán. The Sant'Agata Bolognese-based brand has kept things well under wraps, with nary a leak or juicy teaser hinting at the styling. Now, Lamborghini designer Mitja Bokert has given us a glimpse of an unnamed design, and it's very likely the newcomer, predicted to be called the Temerario. The silhouette is sleek and dramatic, befitting any Lamborghini worth its badge. We can't help but draw comparisons between the new sketch and the Countach LPI 800-4, with a steeply angled rear fascia and a sharp windscreen angle that flows into a low roofline.

When the Rivian R2 was revealed earlier this year, we were all excited about the new electric SUV. All the character and most of the R1's capability in a cheaper and more compact package? Sign us up. But as we near the 2026 arrival, it seems the R2 is dropping some nifty features that the exciting prototype showcased all those months ago.

Production-Ready Rivian R2 Won't Have This Cool Feature

The Ford Bronco Sport is about to get a lot more capable if the Blue Oval's latest teaser is anything to go by. A teaser video has all but confirmed that the baby SUV will be getting rugged Sasquatch package upgrades, with a decidedly hairy Sasquatch-like arm writing '8/26' on the rear fascia of a muddy Bronco Sport. In the background, we can hear the heavy breathing of a human-like creature.

These days, huge power doesn't necessarily have to come from an engine boasting huge displacement. Forced induction means you can have a much smaller engine producing the same, if not more power, than an 8.0-liter naturally aspirated V10. In fact, the most power-dense engine currently on sale is made in America, and it's smaller than the 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 used in the Toyota Tundra.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
