A Bugatti Chiron is a nice status symbol. Beyond that, it is a very expensive way to go fast in a straight line. The Bugatti is not a track star due to its porky nature and more an exercise for Volkswagen to show off with all that money they made while cheating diesel emissions. ...Published on 06-26-2018 01:22 PM
The French Grand Prix was interesting mostly due to the carnage from the first lap. Mercedes-AMG qualified 1-2 with Hamilton in front but Bottas was clipped going into an early turn by Sebastian Vettel which essentially relegated both Bottas and Vettel to the back of the pack. ...Published on 06-21-2018 09:12 AM
Aston Martin Red Bull Racing is ditching their Renault engines for Honda units in 2019. Red Bull Racing utilized Renault motors since 2007 and it led to great success with eight world championships but things are different in the turbo era. ...Published on 06-21-2018 07:42 AM
To give you an idea of the performance of a Mercedes-AMG GT S upgraded with the Pure800 M178 turbo upgrade can achieve take a look at this article. It was able to hit 139 miles per hour in the 1/4 mile which is going to make it a tough, tough out for a bolt on GT-R. ...Published on 06-20-2018 09:11 AM
You have to hand it to Mazda when it comes to the Miata. They know what they are building and they know their audience. They have a formula that works and they do not try to reinvent the wheel as Honda did with the new NSX which did not work. ...Published on 06-20-2018 06:12 AM
As you likely know Toyota won the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans and Fernando Alonso was one of the drivers for the winning Toyota TS050 Hybrid. Toyota is going to celebrate the victory in style but just look at Fernando Alonso make his way through the field. ...Published on 06-20-2018 05:32 AM
Yes, Pure Turbos and DME tuning already have the new W213 Mercedes-AMG E63 S running upgraded turbochargers on its M177 4.0 liter twin turbo V8. The turbos are helping the motor product a healthy 761 horsepower at all four wheels. ...Published on 06-20-2018 01:22 AM
These two have more in common than you might think with turbo inline-6 motors with iron blocks and a big single turbo. The E36 is lighter than the MKIV Supra but the difference is only a couple hundred pounds. ...Published on 06-18-2018 10:22 PM
This is still in concept form but oh boy is it an engineering marvel. You could say Toyota is delivering an LMP Le Mans car for the road much in the same vein that Mercedes-AMG is trying to deliver Formula 1 technology in street legal package. ...Published on 06-14-2018 09:44 PM
That 4G6 2.0 liter turbo sure loves the Precision 6466 turbo, doesn't it? Last month we posted an 858 awhp example in an Evo 8. This example is similar although making a more modest 803.59 horsepower at all four wheels. ...Published on 06-12-2018 10:42 PM
Nice to see some race videos featuring the F90 M5 going up against something other than Mercedes-AMG E63 S. This F90 M5 is not stock as it has Lusso catless downpipes but without software to tune for them it certainly is not making the best use of the pipes as it could. ...Published on 06-12-2018 09:43 PM
Did you manage to make it through the 2018 Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix? I didn't. I fell asleep. I had to finish watching it today. Maybe it was the wine but it was really more the racing or rather lack thereof. Formula 1 is trying to bring in new fans with their ESPN deal and I am one of those new fans. ...Published on 06-06-2018 03:51 PM
$64,500 puts the new MKV Toyota Supra in Porsche 718 S territory although Porsche options sure add up in a hurry. The price makes sense and would be worth it if the MKV Supra in US trim ended up being what was rumored a little while back. ...Published on 06-01-2018 07:00 PM
As many readers of BoostAddict have German cars and plan to purchase German cars this is concerning. Then again, you could say German automakers have taken advantage of the US market for some time with one-sided deals favoring them. ...Published on 05-31-2018 07:16 PM
These cars should be fighting it out on the track, not the airstrip. However, if on the track the NSX would be at a disadvantage. The AMG GT R produces an amazing 7:10 Nurburgring laptime and the AMG GT R is setting much quicker laptimes in independent tests. ...
