Here Is The New Ecto-1

When I hear the word Ghostbusters, the first thing that pops into my mind (apart from the catchy theme song!) is Ecto-1, the ghost hunter’s ride of choice. Their 1959 Cadillac ambulance acquired a mythical status and now stands among Hollywood’s most iconic rides, like the 1969 General Lee Charger, …July 9, 2015

Engineers Having Fun With The 2017 Ford Raptor

We already know that the upcoming 2017 Ford Raptor will have a 3.5 litre Ecoboost engine and a 10-speed transmission, and we also know that its aluminium body will make it lighter and more nimble than its predecessor. But what about its off-road performance? Can the new Raptor jump dunes …July 8, 2015

Is Red Bull Working On A Road Car?

When energy drink giant Red Bull stated that they intended to purchase a Formula 1 team, lots of people rolled their eyes. How could a company that had pretty much no prior experience in racing challenge the likes of Ferrari and McLaren? Red Bull Racing’s victories in 2010, 2011, 2012 …July 8, 2015

Somebody Please Save This Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

There are people who, despite having more money than a lot of emerging countries, don’t know how to enjoy life. One of them bought a brand-new Lamborghini Sesto Elemento (a vehicle that was launched in 2011), took delivery of it at his home, and left it untouched for the next …July 7, 2015

Diesel Honda Civic Beats Fuel Consumption Record

As you probably know, we don’t have the same Honda Civic as the one sold in Europe. Not only is theirs offered with a frugal little diesel engine, but it also has a wagon version. Honda says that under ideal conditions, the diesel-powered Civic Tourer can sip fuel at a …July 7, 2015
