Icon Derelict 1949 Mercury Coupe EV at SEMA 2018

[ad_1]

You know Jonathon Ward. His Icon restomods (although that word might not be specific enough to encompass the artistry of his creations) are legendary, as are his Toyota Land Cruiser FJs. And his Derelict series has been around for a while now. He did a ’52 Chevy Business Coupe back in 2011. We have known about this creation, a ’49 Merc coupe, for a few months. At SEMA, joining the very…

2020 Toyota Supra to debut at NAIAS 2019

[ad_1]

We feel like we’ve been talking about the imminent return of the Toyota Supra for a million years. Longer. The slow trickle of information, including a drive of the prototype in Spain back in September, has not gone over very well according to you — enthusiast readers who’ve left us a bunch of feedback on the long wait and the dearth of specs. And the car’s early reception hasn’t…

Mopar reveals a 1,000-horsepower crate engine

[ad_1]

It’s shocking to say this, but the all-powerful DodgeDemon looks weak now that Mopar has unleashed the Hellephant. This crate motor makes 1,000 horsepower and 950 pound-feet of torque, and its name is a combination of the nickname for the old 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8 and, obviously, the Hellcat. This monster is a 426-cubic-inch version of the current third-generation Hemi V8 topped…

Honda's Latest Concept is a Ridgeline Crossed With a Side-by-Side

Honda’s Latest Concept is a Ridgeline Crossed With a Side-by-Side

[ad_1]

If you don’t need to regularly tow a train up a mountain, the Honda Ridgeline is a great truck. It can tow a few thousand pounds, has a decently sized bed, and is comfortable and refined around town. It’s also not the kind of truck you’d think to turn into a desert-runner. And yet Honda did exactly that for SEMA this year with the Rugged Open Air Vehicle Concept.

Mopar’s latest custom creation is sure to be in the running for coolest car at this year’s SEMA show. It’s a 1968 Dodge Charger, a car selected in part because this year marks the car’s 50th anniversary, but taken to the extreme and renamed Super Charger. The headliner of the car’s radical upgrades is the new “Hellephant” engine. It’s a take on the original car’s 426-cubic-inch…

Mopar Hellephant is Planet Earth’s First 1,000-HP OEM Crate Engine

[ad_1]

An engine as special as the Hellephant must be unveiled in a very special wrapper, so the Mopar design team found a nice, period-correct, iconic design celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018—the 1968 Dodge Charger—and just loved on the design a bit. Joe Dehner, head of Ram exterior and Mopar design, walked us around a beautiful stock ’68 Charger R/T Hemi from Chrysler‘s historical…

Hennessey Stuffed a 758-HP Supercharged V-8 into a Ford F-150 Raptor

[ad_1]

The Ford F-150 Raptoris a beast. It is, after all, a 450-hp jacked-up off-roader that’s just as at home in Baja as it is driving around town. But despite making big power and being one of the most capable off-roaders you can buy new, it’s still missing one thing in many truck enthusiasts’ minds—a V-8. To remedy that, the folks at Hennessey Performance Engineering have built a V-8 Raptor…

Faraday Future can’t catch a break as it’s seemingly on the brink of failure again

Faraday Future’s story has been a roller-coaster. Once seen as the number one EV startup, it has since been crippled by severe financial and management problems.

It seems like the startup was finally out of the woods after a large Chinese holding company promised a massive $2 billion investment in Faraday Future, but after a fallout with the investors, the company recently had to lay off…
