A few other subreddits worth checking out that will help your car buying experience are /r/WhatCarShouldIBuy/r/UsedCars and /r/AskCarSaleswww.everydaydriver.com may also be helpful.

Make/Model-specific questions should be asked on Make/Model-specific subreddits. Check the AutosNetwork for a complete list of those subreddits. Also check out our community-sourced Ultimate car buying wiki.

The Bentley Supersports: A stripped-out engineer's indulgence

Thumbnail arstechnica.com
18 Upvotes

The lightest Bentley since 1941

"The engine is actually a new variant of Bentley’s 4.0 L V8, with a strengthened engine block, new cylinder heads, and larger turbos. There’s also a dual-mass flywheel, but it remains wet-sumped. With 657 hp (490 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm), the Supersports isn’t the most powerful Bentley ever made, but it may be the most driver-focused. Both front and rear axles feature 48 V active anti-roll bars that can react in a third of a second, applying up to 960 lb-ft (1,300 Nm) of reaction torque to keep the car flat. The twin-valve dampers and air suspension have been recalibrated in Touring, Bentley, and Sport modes. And on the optional Pirelli Trofeo RS tires, it will corner at 1.3 Gs."

video [SavageGeese] Porsche Cayenne Electric | Necessary Excess

43 Upvotes

Video link: YouTube

Video description: We do our first drive in the new Porsche Cayenne Electric. After driving the base model and the Turbo, a few things stand out: 1100 HP, brain-scrambling speed, and weight. We discuss the pros and cons and more. Which would you choose: Mercedes, BMW iX5, or Lucid Gravity?

My take (for the /r/cars mods): Is there an official term for fans of SavageGeese? The gaggle? Geeseheads?

Regardless, this is a typically well-produced look at a vehicle I will almost certainly never consider owning. Proportionally, I find this new crop of electric SUVs pretty ugly, although the Cayenne is at least a lot sleeker than the electric Macan, which looks like a pregnant ICE Macan with a bee allergy stepped on a hive and forgot its EpiPen.

I’m very curious to see how these things depreciate.

Anyway, I’m going to get back to enjoying the simple, understated luxury of my decade-old BMW, which currently only has two things that need repairing.

With Bronco pickup and Lincoln version of the Bronco expected to move in to Michigan Assembly plant. Next gen Ranger is expected to move in to brand new Blue Oval city plant by 2030.

So this is the new affordable gas powered pickup built in the brand new Blue Oval city plant Farley was talking about. It could be called Ranger or a different name, but it will be different than the global Ranger now just like how the Tacoma and Hilux or Frontier and Navara are completely different midsize pickups. I guess Ford/Farley is planning to do this so the Ranger could be more successful here if it’s more Americanized. It will also be produced alongside an E-REV large SUV that could be the size of the old Excursion. It’s actually a lot clearer now what the 5 new Ford’s under 40k by 2030 will be.
1. Fathom
2. Transit Custom (which means Maverick based van is cancelled)
3. new 25k SUV
4. All new Ranger or Ranger replacement
5. Mach 4
