Sure, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ may have gone quicker than any other standard production car before it (hitting 304.773 mph or 490.48 km/h in 2019), but in a straight line, this 2006 Ford GT is even faster.

The Ford GT you’re looking at has been owned by Johnny Bohmer since 2006 and has long been one of the world’s fastest road-legal cars. Indeed, Bohmer originally purchased it off the showroom floor with the intention of breaking the 300 mph (482 km/h) barrier in it. It has gone through multiple iterations over the years and while it’s unclear exactly how much power it currently has, there’s no denying that this thing is an absolute beast.

Read: 2023 Ford GT Mk IV Is A $1.7 Million Track-Only Swang Song With Over 800 HP

Bohmer and his team recently headed out to the Launch and Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center, Florida to test out a new ECU that was recently installed into the car. The car was performing so well during the tests that Bohmer decided to pin the throttle to the floor for as long as he dared. When he finally lifted, the car had hit an extraordinary 310.8 mph (500.1 km/h). That makes this the fastest road-legal car on earth.

This isn’t just some stripped-out race car, either. Indeed, Bohmer’s Ford GT continues to have a functioning air conditioning system, electric windows, and a stereo. He regularly drives it near his home in Florida and even uses it to take his kids to school Yep, this is a 310.8 mph Ford GT built in 2006 that functions perfectly fine as a street car.

A new prototype of the forthcoming electric Lotus Envya has been spied testing in China, providing us with our first opportunity to see its cabin.

We caught our first glimpse of the new EV, also known as the Type 133, back in late November. Much like those two prototypes, this one is bathed in body cladding to hide its exterior design and while it’s not possible to see some of the more intricate design details, there’s no mistaking some of the design similarities to the other electric Lotus, the Eletre SUV.

Read: Lotus Spied Testing Its Upcoming Electric Sedan In China

Visible at the front of the prototype appear to be a pair of split headlight, a large lower front grille, and angular air intakes. There’s also a flowing and sleek roof. Interestingly, the two prototypes spied testing last month has prominent humps just above the windshield, believed to be housing advanced LiDAR units. This prototype doesn’t have such a hump but the outline of the LiDAR is visible, indicating that it can pop out from the roof when needed, much like it does on the Eletre.

Then there’s the cabin. It looks as though Lotus will sell the car exclusively as a four-seater as a prominent ‘transmission’ tunnel can be seen running through the length of the cabin. The interior of the Electre also has a prominent tunnel just like this. Elsewhere, you will see a pair of sporty rear seats clad in black leather and contrasted with red seat belts. The console between the rear seats houses at least two cupholders and what appears to be a touchscreen interface.

Up front, the interior has a prominent infotainment display just like the Eletre while a subtle digital instrument cluster has also been neatly incorporated into the dashboard.

The new sedan is expected to be based on the same Electric Premium Architecture (EPA) as the Eletre SUV and should have the same powertrains, likely meaning entry-level models will pump out around 595 hp and 524 lb-ft (710 Nm) of torque while a flagship model could be good for 893 hp and 727 lb-ft (985 Nm).

Research study: Toyota and Honda proprietors are defecting to Tesla

Tesla is siphoning consumers away from Honda as well as Toyota, according to a new study released today by S&P Global Mobility.

Among EV makers, Tesla continues to be in an additional organization when it involves drawing in and maintaining brand-new consumers. The Tesla Model Y has a 60.5% brand name loyalty price in the U.S., and nearly 74% of buyers are coveted occupation sales that come from outside the brand name.

The result seems extra noticable for Honda and Toyota though, with almost 29% of Tesla customers coming directly from among those brands, according to the study.

2023 Honda Civic

2023 Honda Civic This trend affects several of the two Japanese car manufacturers ‘most prominent designs. The leading five Model Y occupations are the Lexus RX (from Toyota’s high-end brand name), Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Honda Odyssey, and Honda Accord.

The leading five Tesla Model 3 conquests are the Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4, and also Honda CR-V, the study stated. Owners of both brand names have actually long been taken into consideration to have one of the most brand name commitment. However an absence of EV offerings is starting to injure these brands in measurable means, these results suggest.

The Model 3 and Model Y integrated likewise stand for 56% of EV enrollments, according to the research. Besides the Model 3 as well as Model Y, no solitary EV design achieved U.S. enrollments above 30,000 devices with the initial three quarters of 2022. Outcomes showed that the Ford Mustang Mach-E came close, with 27,800 enrollments, making Ford the second-bestselling EV brand name in the U.S.

2023 Toyota bZ4X Limited AWD

2023 Toyota bZ4X Limited AWD This doesn’t leave much space for non-Tesla EVs, yet that can change as EV adoption expands, the research study’s authors stated.

There is significant space for growth in cost effective EVs, which is an area Tesla doesn’t currently cover. Toyota and also Honda do not seem ready to exploit that chance to reconquest sales from Tesla. The 2023 Toyota bZ4X has a $43,215 base price and is being marketed in the U.S. as a niche vehicle. Manufacturing is also less than meant as a result of an issue in which wheels were falling off (a repair has actually been determined). Toyota has apparently stopped its EV development, as it thinks about more of a mass-market press, however that will certainly take some time to carry out.

Winter months’s coming: Are your tires prepared for snow and ice?

Editor’s note: This short article was originally released on October 21, 2020. While we understand it’s far too late for several of you, we hope we can help prepare you for putting in jeopardy weather.

I could nearly hear Will Robbins smiling at the other end of our telephone discussion. I ‘d just shared the story of how a collection of Bridgestone Blizzak winter season tires had transformed a Mazda Miata from a device of risk that had simply spun on an icy interstate right into an auto snowmobile.

He claimed he’s heard similar stories from lots of people.

“A lot of tire stuff is truly refined,” stated the elderly item supervisor for Bridgestone’s Blizzak winter season tire line, “but you never ever obtain the ‘aha’ minute like you do when they drive on all-season or summer tires and afterwards put Blizzaks on their automobile.”

Or as Matt Edmonds, an executive with TireRack.com, a major nationwide tire merchant with a comprehensive site of tire examinations and client responses, notes, four-wheel or four-wheel drive might obtain you proceeding snow as well as ice, but it won’t always help you transform or stop. Specialized winter months tires will.

Of those tires, Robbins admits that Blizzak has a majority share of the market.

He includes, “We have a huge target on our back and also a whole lot of rivals have items that are really close to the Blizzak level of efficiency.”

In TireRack’s most current tire tests for higher-performance winter months tires, the Michelin Pilot Alpin and also Dunlop SP Winter Sport challenged Blizzak’s preeminence. In TireRack’s customer study, Blizzak is rated No. 1 with Michein’s X-Ice a close second.

By the way, the wintertime tire market has come a long method given that the days when your daddy placed a set of “snow” tires on the back wheels of your family members car or terminal wagon. Those tires likely had actually tread even more matched for giving grip in the snow, however that had to do with it.

Today, winter months tires not just have specialized walk patterns for digging via snow however sipes that supply a retreat for ice counted on water from the stress of the lorry’s weight and from modifications in temperature level. Modern winter tires also are produced with worsening designed for cold weather.

“Summer tires are great for track day,” Robbins clarifies. “The compound is sticky as well as soft as well as take care of all that warmth. But it obtains hard as well as weak in the cold. Wintertime substances are designed for the cool setting, also on completely dry pavement.”

Forty degrees and also below is where winter season tires stand out, he stated. He recommends that “when you can see your breath,” it’s time to put the Blizzaks on your automobile.

Oh, and also you put them on all 4 wheels, not simply those that placed power to the sidewalk.

Keeping in mind that the total performance of winter months tires has boosted with the years, Robbins discussed that rather than a set of tires developed to improve grip in snow, “today’s winter months tires have such different traction degrees that you need all the axles to be stabilized for correct efficiency.”

Yes, it suggests acquiring an extra set of tires for your car, but there are a couple of advantages to take into consideration past enhanced safety in winter season. For one thing, changing tires means you’re not placing as lots of miles on your warmer-weather tires so you’re not changing them as quickly.

For one more, you can drive year around in the same vehicle rather than needing to get a second car with 4-wheel-drive or as was preferred in some places, a “wintertime rat”– an affordable 2nd auto bought in the loss, driven with the winter season and afterwards deserted in the spring, if not when it stalled out or ended up being hidden throughout a significant winter season snowstorm.

What about studs or chains for driving in the winter?

“Chains are a valuable device wherefore they’re designed to do, for emergency situations,” Robbins discussed. “The drawback is, otherwise utilized appropriately, chains can do even more injury than good,” harming both roadway surface area and tires.

In fact, it was damages brought on by studded tires and also chains in Japan that caused the advancement of the Blizzak winter months tires. Steel chains were banned in Japan in the 1980, so Bridgestone set out to create winter season tires that functioned just as well, and hence the Blizzak line.

Usually in the tire world, the most recent tires are the best as tire business function to leap-frog each other. Robbins notes that the Blizzak development group doesn’t “rest on the success,” yet is constantly functioning to improve the product and also its cold-weather efficiency.

The most up to date Blizzak lineup consists of:

WS90 for autos as well as minivans

DM-V2 crossover as well as sport energy cars and light vehicles

LM-25 for cars and trucks equipped with run-flat tires

LM001/LM -32 for high-performance sedans and also sports cars

LT for business light trucks and also vans

Costs vary from $91 to $183.

“I don’t recognize a person who has actually been sorry for the acquisition,” Robbins claimed, including that individuals usually go from taking into consideration Blizzaks to attempting them to “Wow! This is fantastic!”

One means to have the experience before you purchase a collection is the Bridgestone Winter Driving School in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The college has actually been in operation for more than 30 years. It opens up when the weather obtains cool sufficient, provides a range of courses taught by knowledgeable specialists– several with experience in rallying– as well as makes use of a range of Toyota automobiles.

For more details, visit the Blizzak and also winter school websites.

Pick of the Day: 1975 Porsche 914

Over the last few years in the collector car market the most popular, and the biggest price increases. have been in the Porsche market; more specifically with air-cooled models such as the 911 and the 912. Many of these car prices have more than doubled in the last 2 or so years and cars that were once affordable are now starting at around $50,000.

There is an alternative and that is the Porsche 914. It is true that prices for the 914 have also skyrocketed but only on certain models. You can still but a 1.8 liter 914 for what still seems a fair price. Yes, the 1.8-liter cars are the slowest 914 cars that Porsche built, but let’s get real here. No 914 powered by its stock air-cooled 4-cylinder engine is fast, and if you do want more power getting it is as easy as buying a larger displacement engine. In many ways that misses the point, as no matter what engine a 914 is powered by, it is possibly the most fun to drive classic Porsche you can buy. They handle amazingly well, have great steering and brakes, and always feel much faster than they are. The old adage that it is more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow may well have been used while talking about the 914 driving experience.

, Pick of the Day: 1975 Porsche 914, ClassicCars.com Journal

The Pick of the Day is one of these cars, a 1975 Porsche 914 1.8-liter car finished in Silver paint with a black with tartan inserts interior.

According to the Ft. Worth, Texas dealer offering this car, “the paint is an older respray that still shines up decently and is more than presentable. The other details such as the front and rear bumpers and the Targa roof show little evidence of UV damage or fading. In addition, all indicator lenses, stainless trim, and the original alloys all attest to the fact that someone has really cared for this Porsche.”

The interior is a great retro look with black vinyl seats with red tartan inserts. This was an option for these later edition 914 cars, and it looks great on this silver car.

Happily, this 914 is still equipped with its original Bosch L-Jetronic fuel-injection and not carbs. As a result, the car starts easily and idles smoothly. In addition, being a 1975 914 this car is equipped with the greatly improved ‘side-shifter’ 5-speed manual gearbox which makes shifting that much more smoot and easy.

The overall stock condition of this car is what makes it attractive to me. Over the years people have tried to make the 914 faster and was often done using various cheap bolt-on parts, which is less than ideal. Nice stock 914s are hard to find, so that makes this car a nice example.

The single biggest issue with the 914 is rust. Looking at the photos in this ad show a car with remarkably clean floorpans and no hint of any rust. I also like the aftermarket rocker trim and that this car is equipped with, and the optional center console with auxiliary gauges.
