The safest midsize pickups of the year
The safest midsize pickups of the year: Do you want to know which are the cars that have earned top marks in a small-overlap front crash test of eight midsize pickups by the Insurance institute for Highway Safety? These are the vehicles that have won the trust of many customers: The Toyota Tacoma double cab, Tacoma access cab,Chevrolet Colorado crew cab and GMC Canyon.


The Colorado and Canyon extended cab both earned “acceptable” marks, while the Nissan Frontierking cab and crew cab — the oldest vehicles tested — earned “marginal” ratings. IIHS said it tested two body styles of each pickup because results can differ between cab designs.

TVR' V8 sports car unveiled at the Goodwood Revival
TVR' V8 sports car unveiled at the Goodwood Revival: We know about the rumors that TVR’s coupe would feature a V8 with an output of 480bhp, but we had no idea its first prototype would be ready this soon. Unveiled at the Goodwood Revival, the tiny sports car reminds us of a Ginetta in its proportions, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Under the bonnet is a Ford 5.0-litre quad-cam V8 taken from the Mustang, and it links to a six-speed Tremec gearbox. The body of the test mule, rendered here in an older image that was released to the general media, is carbonfibre for lightness and a reduced centre of gravity. Inner carbonfibre panels will be bonded to a steel frame to offer massive rigidity and crash safety.

Your Inner Child Will Like The 888bhp Brabus Rocket 900
Your Inner Child Will Like The 888bhp Brabus Rocket 900: Admit it: the 10-year-old in you is doing a little happy-dance right now. This is the gloriously excessive Brabus Rocket 900, and yes, it does have one of the most childishly awesome names ever given to a car. It’s called that because it has 900 metric horsepower, or 888bhp in English, and goes like the proverbial Soyuz. Brabus, which has a long and hilarious history of tuning Mercedes cars to their extremes and beyond, has taken the 6.0-litre V12-poweredMercedes-AMG S65 Cabriolet and decided that, actually, it wasn’t fast enough. Someone in Bottrop might have had one beer too many this time…

The tuning process starts with more capacity. The V12 has been bored and stroked to 6.3 litres, with a special Brabus billet steel crankshaft and con-rod set. The exhaust manifolds are new, the new turbochargers are larger and there’s a free-breathing exhaust system making all the noise.
