Ford V Ferrari Review

Ford V Ferrari was set in a time when Ferrari was dominating the podium at the legendary race of 24 hours of Le Mans. The Ford Motor Company was facing a sales crisis, and felt that they weren’t really being recognized by the younger generation.

The solution they devised? Easy. Beat Ferrari at their own game to attract the attention they needed.

Easier said than done might be an understatement.

Ford went to Carroll Shelby, played by Matt Damon, who we now know as the maker of the Shelby Mustang, for help building and designing the car. It would go on to be called the GT40.

Could a Viable Competitor to Tesla Actually be Here? Part 1 - The Porsche Taycan

Everyone’s heard of Tesla Motors and their supercar-beating electric vehicles. It’s gotten to the point that a lot of people essentially idolize the company. This is for good reason too, as Tesla is the first fully-electric company that produced production cars that have the capability to beat something like a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ from 0 - 100 km/h. Up until recently, they haven’t really faced any direct competition. Nobody could top their performance times, and the range gets even more ridiculous. According to Tesla.com, the Model S can travel up to 595.5 km on a single charge (370 miles), which is just absurd for an EV.

Never Judge A Book By Its Cover - Mercedes-AMG E63s Wagon

When you think of a wagon, what do you picture? Probably something like an old Volvo 240. Old, rusty, your typical “mom vehicle”. All in all, not really something people want to be associated with. What you probably don’t think of is the ultimate sleeper car. The Mercedes - AMG E63s wagon has a tame enough looking exterior, but when you look at the spec sheet, things get taken to a whole new level. It’s quicker from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) than Mercedes’ flagship supercar, the AMG - GTR, with a time of 3.0 seconds. It boasts 603 horsepower, and a quarter mile time of 11.2 seconds.

For comparison, the Porsche 911 GT3? 0-60 in 3.1 seconds.

That’s right. This wagon is on par with a performance variant of Porsche’s halo model. What a world we live in.

Koenigsegg Sets Yet Another Record

Koenigsegg is a Swedish car company that sets records about as often as you eat meals. Their mission statement? Make titanic hypercars that leave everyone else in the dust.

The debut of the Agera RS in late 2017 marked the beginning of a whole slew of firsts for production cars. It set the record for top speed at 457.94 km/h (284.55 mph), and obliterated Bugatti’s 0 - 400 - 0 km/h time of 42 seconds by almost 6 seconds. They then proceeded to top themselves and beat their own time by an additional 3 seconds.
