Lexus announced the MSRP for the three-row hybrid Lexus RX 450hL SUV, and it’s just $1,550 more than the RX 350L. The longer, fatter, and more practical RX will hit the showrooms in April with some really juicy specs and a starting price of $50,620. Among the main highlights of Lexus RX 450hL which set it apart and make you want to buy this instead if the cheaper, regular version we have the second-row captain’s chairs in addition to leather-trimmed seats, driver seat, side mirror and steering wheel memory, and Lexus Enform Safety Connect and Service Connect for 10 years. Then there is, of course, the extended wheelbase 4.3 inches (110 mm) at the rear, which makes room for a third row of seats – handy for families with more than two kids.

Toyota chose the Chicago Auto Show this year to present their latest range of “ultimate offroaders.” The 2019 Toyota TRD Pro Series, which include specially-equipped Tacoma, 4Runner, and Tundra models, come with top-of-the-line features and components, some of them first-in-class.  There are a bunch of features all three of the 2019 Toyota TRD Pro Series models have in common. They share three available exterior colors of Super White, Midnight Black Metallic or Voodoo Blue. And they all come in their new versions with 2.5-inch TRD Pro-exclusive Fox Inteal Bypass shocks.

It was not exactly a secret that an extra-hot version of the 488 was in the works deep inside Ferrari factory in Maranello, especially since Porsche released their GT2 RS last year. Now the first complete picture of this beast has leaked and we get our first look at the new 2019 Ferrari 488 GTO. And in case you are in a hurry to know, it has 700 horsepower.  Ferrari 488 GTO is the successor to the 360 Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia, and the 458 Speciale. But this one is apparently so good, they went ahead and gave it the venerated GTO badge. The name has not yet been confirmed officially, but a lot people are calling it that. So it is almost certainly the official name. Now, those three letters hark back to what is possibly the most glorious part of Ferrari’s history and perhaps the entire automotive culture. So the new boy had better be damn good, or Ferrari will get some serious stick from their hard-core fans. But of course it is gong to be awesome in every way, this 488 GTO, because it’s a new Ferrari. Sources tells us 2019 Ferrari 488 GTO is a hard and stiff race car built for the streets, so in that sense at least not much has changed since the Stradale days. Other , ...ادامه مطلب

Yes, it’s yet another tweaked version of an old model. But this Lotus Evora GT410 Sport is a good one, striking the right balance between performance and everyday usability. It is also one of the nicest looking Lotuses (or is it Loti?) of recent years. Whereas the GT430 is a tad on the rough side of things, the new Lotus Evora GT410 Sport is more practical, available in both 2 seat and 2+2 configurations, and with manual orautomatic transmissions. Power, as the name suggests, stands 410 horsepower, giving this 1,256 kg sports car a power-to-weight ratio of 326 hp per tonne. That translates to a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.9 seconds (manual gearbox 4.0 seconds) and a top speed of 190 mph or 305 km/h. While it does take balls of steel to do that kind of speed in a small and feather weight car, Lotus Evora GT410 Sport tries its best to protect you by first and foremost being an aerodynamically precise. It generates considerably more downforce than a standard Evora, compared to which it is also 98 kg lighter. Other notable features include touring suspension package available as a no cost option, featuring Bilstein non-adjustable dampers, with touring specification, and Michelin Pilot S, ...ادامه مطلب

The fans of funky little cars all over Britain rejoice as the new 2018 Citroen C4 Cactus becomes available to order today! The quirky French hatchback won’t reach the showrooms until April, but you can secure yours right now from just £17,265. Based on Citroen Advanced Comfort programme with comfort seats and Progressive Hydraulic cushions, the 2018 Citroen C4 Cactus is probably the most comfortable and relaxing car in its class. That is a highly desirable quality if you predominantly use it in busy city centers. The B-road travelers may find that the safe comfort results in less than savory handling around the coers. Not that the Cactus is fast enough to get you in trouble around coers. The engine lineup includes three 3-cylinder PureTech petrol engines and a highly efficient BlueHDi 100 S&S diesel unit. [embedded content] While tamer than its predecessor, the 2018 Citroen C4 Cactus still has a kind of niche design that does not appeal to everybody. But if you get past that, you will be rewarded with an amazing array of technology features. The new Cactus can be specified with Active Safety Brake, Grip Control and Lane Departure Waing as well as Citroen Connect Nav, , ...ادامه مطلب

You’ve installed your amp, tued on the stereo and discovered the sound performance isn’t giving that kick you want. I’ve experienced the same and many others. Surely there is nothing wrong with the amp but rather us. I knew there had to be a way to tune the amp to give me the sound I wanted. And luckily for me I found it. Fine tuning the amp is easy as one, two, three…four. Before we jump into the step you must do a final walk through of the car system: Do the amp, speakers and subwoofers have the power it needs to drive powerful sounds? Are RCA wires connected properly? Are you using the car’s factory speakers? If so you may want to replace them as they can alter sounds. If everything is in order and your amp is not producing full volume sounds then follow these steps. They’ve helped many others and I’m sure the same will happen to you. Step One: Set the Volume and Gain Control Many people forget this step when setting up the amp. The volume and gain control must be adjusted. These two need to work together to provide the best sounds your amp can produce. All you need to do is to put your volume on the 80% mark of the maximum volume. No speakers must be connected.

Every year we are treated to a whole bunch of new 911 models, but only a handful of them are interesting enough to warrant a close inspection. The 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package is certainly one of those, a wing-less, manual version of the GT3 built for purists. Here we take a close look at this superb machine in detailed pictures and videos.  The distinguishing feature of the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package is a variable rear spoiler like the 911 Carrera in place of the regular GT3 large fixed wing. Being a pure sort of 911, the car features a four-litre naturally aspirated engine with 500 horsepower and 460 Nm. Sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, that power propel the Touring Package to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 316 km/h. [embedded content] Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package exclusive features include PCCB ceramic brake, the lift system, LED headlights, all seat variants, the Chrono Package and the audio systems. It also gets rear wide arches and forged alloy wheels with central locking. At the front, 245/35 ZR 20 tyres are fitted on nine-inch wheels, while at the rear 305/30 ZR 20 tyres are mounted , ...ادامه مطلب

Along with the GT3 Touring Package, this year we also got a tighter, lighter version of the Carrera. It’s called the Porsche 911 Carrera T, a badge that harks back 1968, and it promises some old-school fun with features such as less weight, shorter transmission ratios from the manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive with mechanical rear differential lock. Let’s take a deeper look at this cool sports car. Powering the 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T is a twin turbocharged 3.0 liter flat-six with 370 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. It enables the T to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 290 km/h.while manual gearbox is standard,  PDK is available as an option. But 911 T is more about the fun of driving than outright speed, mainly thanks to a shorter rear axle ratio and mechanical differential lock, but also to some serious weight saving. There is less sound proofing and some of the windows are made of plastic, and rear seats have been omitted along with the Porsche Communication Management (PCM). [embedded content] You the rear seats and PCM back in as no-cost options, but why would you want to? Other exclusive highlights of the 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera, ...ادامه مطلب

There are many occasions in life when a family car just isn’t big enough for what you need it for. Whether you are moving to a new house, touring with your band, or transporting goods for your business, there comes a time when a van hire is the more practical choice. Whether you live in Manchester or Birmingham, van hire isn’t expensive, and you are always assured of a backup vehicle should any problems arise. In this article, we’re going to take a look at four times when it makes sense to hire a van. Moving House If you are moving to a new house and don’t have a lot of belongings to move, hiring a van will be more cost effective than hiring a removals firm. There are a lot of high expenses involved with moving house, so don’t let the cost of moving your belongings be one of them. You can often hire a van for a 24-hour period through companies such as Empire Van Hire who provide Birmingham van hire, which is ideal for most house moves. Van hire is also a good idea for students heading off to university for the first time. Picking Up Bulky Items If you’ve ever bought anything from a website like eBay or Gumtree, you know that most bulky items are available for collection on, ...ادامه مطلب

We have seen many different takes on the already bonkers Mercedes G500 4×4 Squared since the car’s launch. But we have to admit we liked none of them as much as this new one, which is curious, because all the mods it features is a set of wheels. But what a set of wheels it is! This unique and utterly handsome Mercedes G500 4×4 rocks a set of Forgiato Origini-T wheels shod with extra-chunky off-road tires. The G500 has never been much of an on-road performer anyway – unlike its G63 cousin – so we reckon the tuner has made a fair trade here, gaining extra off-road capabilities with those tires while losing some of the car’s tarmac performance. Another advantage of that massive set of , ...ادامه مطلب

Laura’s Frozen Berry Porsche 911 is certainly the only Porsche and quite possibly the only car in the world finished in this color. They have done such a brilliant job getting this difficult color just right that you just want to bite into this Porsche. And you are almost sure it is going to taste like frozen berry, ...ادامه مطلب
