Ford has revealed the 2017 Ford F-250 and F-350 today. The truck will feature an all-aluminum body on a steel frame, much like the smaller F-150. 6.7L Powerstroke torque numbers have not been released, but we expect a slight bump from the already staggering 850 ft. lbs of torque of the 2016 model.
“Pedro Piquet, son of former Formula One driver Nelson Piquet, has a lucky escape when his car flips nine times after being hit by another vehicle during the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge in Brazil on Sunday. The 17-year-old was taken to hospital for observation but, apart from some bruising, is said to be unharmed”
From the angle below, it’s clear that the #6 Autotrac car (the one that flipped) actually caused the accident. His line into the apex was too aggressive, striking #27 on entry. #27 braked hard in reaction. The brakes locked up, though, and so #27 went wide back into the side of #6.
An incredible crash, and thankfully all drivers walked away.

The Camaro ZL1 program is alive and well, and we have proof. Yesterday, Chevrolet was caught testing the 2017 Camaro ZL1 at the ‘Ring, and it sounds amazing.
We expect the 2017 ZL1 to feature a version of the 6.2L supercharged V8 – the same one found in the CTS-V and Corvette Z06.
Look for the new ZL1 to debut at 2016 Detroit Auto Show debut.
Shots have been fired, Ford.
Chevrolet is getting serious again in regards to competing against the 2016 Mustang GT. GM announced today that the 2016 Camaro SS weighs 223 lbs less then the outgoing model, runs the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds @ 116 MPH, and boasts a 0-60 MPH of just 4 seconds flat. These are serious performance numbers – especially considering this is the SS we are talking about – not the more-powerful ZL1 model. Chevrolet also announced today that the 2016 Camaro SS is also capable of 0.97 G’s on the skidpad.
The above performance numbers are for the 455 HP 6.2-liter V8 SS model, in automatic.

YouTube user ‘GTA Wise Guy’ has made a near perfect recreation of Ken Block’s famous hoon around the streets of LA (Gymkhana 7) using Grand Theft Auto V’s video editor mode. The attention to detail is pretty impressive. Enjoy!
Evo takes on the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
Evo’s Jethro Bovingdon put the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS through its paces on track, and this car is an animal. However, would you rather own a GT3 RS, or the Turbo S model? It really depends on what you would need it for, but we are almost convinced that a Turbo S would be a much more suitable model for daily needs. We’ll take both, though.
Check out this Porsche 918 running wide open out on the Australian Outback. Apparently their are roads in Australia with no speed limit, so the driver of this 918 takes full advantage of that freedom. 350km/h = 217mph. Enjoy.
