A rear-wheel drive sedan isn't abnormal, but one with Audi's four rings on the front? That is very, very unusual. But believe it or not, the base Audi A6 E-Tron—the new electric version of Audi's longstanding mid-size sedan—drives just its rear wheels. Audi is, of course, a brand...

The Ward's AutoWorld publication has been going for over a century, and many are likely familiar with their Ward's 10 Best Engines selection, which is published once a year. To appear on the list is a credit to an engine's reliability, performance, and design. The list includes rigorous testing and evaluation by a panel of the publication's editors who consider factors such as horsepower, torque, fuel economy, and the application of new technologies. Many iconic engines have appeared multiple times on the list since its inception in 1994.

The V8 That Won More Engine Awards Than Any Other

With the Dodge Charger and Challenger, as well as the Chevrolet Camaro discontinued, the modern era of muscle cars is effectively dead, but there is a new emerging segment to replace it. All the muscle and performance these days is going into crossover SUVs, making for some powerful family-friendly, if not wallet-friendly, rides. Crossovers with high-output V-8s are the new muscle cars, even if they're not exactly cars.

The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is a monster just ready to terrorize the European elite. It's a mid-engined American supercar with 1,064 horsepower from a twin-turbo 5.5-liter flat-plane V8 engine, and it's capable of a sub-10-second quarter mile. The first units haven't even hit the road yet, but already, John Hennessey is scheming about how to get even more power from America's wildest Corvette ever.

Pickup trucks have evolved from rugged workhorses to luxurious, high-tech machines, with prices that reflect their transformation. Today, only three pickup trucks in America remain priced under $30,000, a sharp contrast to just a decade ago when you could easily find a well-equipped model for the same amount. What was once the domain of affordable utility vehicles has become a market teeming with premium models that can easily surpass the $100,000 mark.

The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer debuted back in early February bearing a number of changes including slight exterior styling tweaks, along with a host of interior revisions and the addition of the brand new Ford Digital Experience software. However, along with a pared-down trim level lineup that saw the deletion of the King Ranch trim, the 2025 Ford Explorer was also curiously missing any sort of hybrid powertrain option. Now, we know why that’s the case.

Kate Jackson began her acting career as a silent ghost on TV's classic 1960s gothic daytime drama Dark Shadows but remains alive and well years after two horrific battles with breast cancer. Jackson went on to small screen prime-time stardom on police/detective/crime drama/comedies like The Rookies, Charlie's Angels, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and more. This is her triumphant story.

In 1970, General Motors signaled its return to dominance in the muscle car arena with a double play. First, the corporation lifted its self-imposed limit on engine size for intermediate cars, opening the door for increased performance.

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

The reveal of the all-new successor to the Lamborghini Huracán is just under a fortnight away, with Monterey Car Week set to play host to the glamorous event. While this new supercar will mark steps forward in several areas, it will also pay tribute to the past, something that Lamborghini has highlighted in a new teaser video. The clip features the very first baby Lambo, the Gallardo, revving its even-firing 5.0-liter V10 engine, before transitioning to the Huracán Tecnica revving its 5.2-liter odd-firing V10. Finally, the clip concludes with the new supercar's engine idling. All of this seems to suggest that despite the addition of forced induction, Sant'Agata's latest supercar will provide just as visceral an exhaust note as its predecessors.

BMW has announced the recall of over 100,000 vehicles manufactured from 2019 through 2021. The recall was issued due to a faulty starter motor in several different models in the BMW lineup. This follows a recent recall for the BMW X3, which had a defective cargo rail, and another for the 3 Series, which had an airbag issue. Despite the high number of vehicles recalled this time, it's estimated that only one percent will have the defect.

There is a perception that a V-patern engine is better in terms of performance and efficiency, but the reality is a straight-six has so many advantages over its V-6 cousin. An inline engine only needs one head, gets by with half the cam shafts, and is easier to cool. I-6 engines also produce more torque at lower speeds and are perfectly balanced, making them quieter with less vibrations. Most importantly, a straight-six is cheaper to manufacture.
