On September 4, 2025, Ford made that official to anyone who might still doubt their commitment, rebranding its “Ford Performance” division as “Ford Racing.” […]
A unique kind of magic happens when a car surprises you, when you drop the accelerator and feel something raw, mechanical, and emotional connect straight to your gut. That feeling used to belong exclusively to combustion engines: the roar of the revs, the slight vibrations in the shifter, and the tactile rush of a perfectly […]
Plenty of new names have popped up on the hypercar scene in recent years, including Koenigsegg and Hennessey.

Some off-roaders are content exploring local parks and woods. In some areas, that’s enough for years of great outings.

Planning a weekend, a week-long vacation, or even a whole summer around far-flung off-road destinations is […]

To the average person, it might seem like there’s no overlap between people who shop at a Chevy dealer and those who shop at a Porsche dealer: one brand is commonly known for its affordable and practical models, while the other is synonymous with high price tags and luxury amenities.
