It used to be that an inline four-cylinder was just slightly more powerful than a lawnmower, but modern performance technology, as well as super and turbocharging, has made them formidable engines. In fact, there are some high-output I-4s that rival V-6s and even V-8s, both in horsepower and torque. Gone are the days when four-cylinders were only for sensible compacts, as they now power some of the hottest rides around.

10 Four-Cylinder Cars That Are Faster Than Their Larger-Engined Ancestors

Adventure motorcycles are some of the most advanced two-wheelers on the planet. Not in the same way that sports bikes are, but in their own right. That is because our expectations of an adventure touring motorcycle have changed: we expect them to be good for trips that will cover thousands of miles on every conceivable type of surface, from tarmac to dirt. Some will even behave like large dirt bikes if you know what you’re doing. That means a lot of R&D by manufacturers, loads of technologies, and strong engines, all of which increase the starting MSRP.

SlashGear has traditionally focused on advancements in terrestrial transportation like cars and motorcycles, but we've devoted plenty of space to discussion of marine engines as well. We've presented a guide to Yamaha outboard motors, a similar primer on boats powered by electric motors, and a spotlight on General Motors' partnership with a hybrid marine engine manufacturer. Most marine engines fall into one of three formats. Many recreational boats use outboard motors, which mount to a watercraft's transom and have a propeller shaft mounted perpendicular to the driveshaft.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

Americans Love These Pistol Brands, for Good Reason

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

The automotive world is mourning the loss of a legendary powertrain. General Motors has confirmed the impending retirement of its celebrated 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel engine. Renowned for its exceptional torque delivery, commendable fuel efficiency, and formidable towing capacity, the Duramax has been a cornerstone of GM’s full-size SUV lineup.

Four-cylinder engines still don't have the same cachet as their bigger 6-and-8-cylinder siblings, but the auto industry is in love with them. Using a turbocharged 4-pot is an easy way to reach traditional 6- and 8-cylinder power while simultaneously reducing emissions. Although the 4-cylinder might never reach the iconic status of a V8, there are some impressive examples out there.

I have not bought a Craftsman Tool in over three years. My last Craftsman Tool purchase was an impact wrench that I found on sale with a seasonal coupon that was just too good of a deal to pass on at the time. While the impact wrench has served me—as the old saw goes—“Good enough for Government work”, I know now that I could have done better with a Harbor Freight model that tested better for less money.

The 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera is the base model in the model's lineup, but there's nothing entry-level about it. Looking at its stats, the 911 Carrera is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat six-cylinder engine that produces 379 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. That kind of power can rocket the rear-drive coupe to 60 mph from a stop in only 4.0 seconds and up to a top speed of 182 mph.

After disappearing from the U.S. in 2012, the Ford Ranger wound up returning to those same shores for the 2019 model year – albeit, as a larger, mid-size pickup. In recent months, those last-gen compact Ford Ranger models have become increasingly common sights on collector car auction sites, with nice, low-mile examples seemingly coming out of the proverbial woodwork. Now, that list has expanded yet again, this time, to include a very nice 2009 Ford Ranger XL.

When I was a kid we always used Quaker State oil because my dad had a deal with them as a result of some partial sponsorship. And it was good oil, because we never had a single engine failure that was bearing or lubrication related. But when I started buying my own oil for daily drivers and stuff I was all about whatever was slick and cheap. It turns out that wasn’t smart. Probably really not smart actually. But nowadays you can buy oil from any one of a jillion brands with all the same certifications and specs and whatever, so how do you know if the oil you are buying is good? And does it matter how good it is if I change it religiously every 3,000 miles? What if I only change it every 7,500 or 10,000? Hmmmmm.
