Toyota has issued a major recall of its twin-turbocharged V-6 engines powering the 2022 and 2023 Tundra pickup trucks and Lexus LX SUVs. Engines produced between late 2021 and early 2023 might have machining debris left in the engine; causing engine knocks or, worse cases, a spun bearing and complete engine stall. At first, Toyota was unsure how many engines were contaminated, but now, months later, the solution is to replace more than 100,000 engines.

Roush Performance has been upgrading Mustangs and selling parts for the pony car for nearly three decades. The seventh-generation Mustang arrived for the 2024 model year, and the aftermarket specialist is ready to wring every bit of power out of Ford's 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine. It has a new supercharger kit available that can increase the GT's output by a whopping 330 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque.

With the motorcycle market as big and diverse as it is today, the concept of a turbocharged motorcycle doesn't sound very drastic. Heck, we already have a few supercharged motorcycles already in the mass market. Not to mention, fuel injection and combustion technology have improved tenfold in recent times, becoming standard practice for motorcycles of all sizes and performance levels.

This Was The First Production Turbocharged Motorcycle

Trained ears and software programmers at Dodge have been working on the automaker's Fratzonic Exhaust Dodge for more than two years now. The first version we heard from two years ago sounded too electric, the second draft from a year ago injected a few notes of necessary muscle. Now, more than a year later, we're getting a taste of the third arrangement. This one is a lot closer to genuine muscle. Dodge ran a Charger Daytona through a tunnel to start the sample — getting an acoustic assist in the process — but even after the underpass, that ICE cadence of perfectly timed explosions rings clear. We don't know what happened between the second take and this one. To our ears, this sounds remarkably close to a recording of a V8, although Dodge previously said that isn't how they'd use the system.

In a shocking twist, Acura will debut an exciting new concept at Monterey Car Week. Just like last year. This time last year, that was the Acura ZDX, the automaker’s first electric SUV. This time around, what Acura will show is much less apparent. The brand has shown an electric concept with some NSX-y styling previously, but this certainly doesn’t look like that. The sole teaser image provided shows the rear of the vehicle, with a prominently displayed light bar and a mildly hatch-y design. The slight fastback look could hint at an electrified take on one of the brand’s sedans — after all, Acura already has its electric SUV.

The Dodge Charger’s journey from its inception as a luxury-oriented fastback to its iconic status as a muscle car is a compelling narrative within automotive history. Introduced in 1966 as a distinctive challenger to the Rambler Marlin, the first-generation Charger struggled to capture the public’s imagination. A dramatic...

Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Acura is headed to Monterey Car Week with what it's calling a "next generation" performance concept. While Honda's premium subsidiary offered up no details about the car itself, we were offered the above teaser photo. Acura says it will be a "segment defying" sport utility vehicle, but what we're seeing here looks awfully trunk-like. From this perspective, it's really anybody's guess, but one thing is obvious: Whatever this thing is, it's no mere ZDX offshoot. Here's Acura's announcement in its entirety, should you be interested in parsing it yourself:
