Tuned GMC Canyon with Bolt on Turbo Sounds Like a Rally Car, almost Goes Like One

  Matt Farah of Drive isn’t big on done up pickups destined for street use , and I can understand why… It’s very hard to turn a such a vehicle into a sports car, because physics will always have a big part to play in handling. You can still try to do it, and while the result will never be truly sporty (unless you have like a million dollars to spend and/or are some kind of tuning guru) the extent of your skills will give it charm, character, or not, as the case may be. This GMC Canyon, for instance, is a nice attempt that would definitely be an experience to drive. As Farah finds out when he gets a go, the turbocharged 3.5-liter straight-five it has under the bonnet makes a really nice noise once opened up, and the rear-mounted turbocharger also adds to the thrill – it even goes well, with a claimed 335 hp at the rear tires. Handling is also improved via a custom front suspension setup and custom leafs at the back, as well as chunky rims with wide tires, plus a set of bigger brakes up front; strangely, the owner Matt Ochoa opted to leave in the stock drum brakes on the rear. Scroll down and check it out in detail, in the video posted below. By Andrei Nedelea

Automated Wash Damages Classic Car, Owner Eventually Finds Justice

  Taking your carefully restored classic car for a clean at an automated car was is by no means a good idea, especially if you have delicate chromed mirrors, or other details that were not designed to withstand the crushing force of the brushes. Even worse, if your vehicle is of an unusual shape, like say a vintage VW Beetle , then the brushes could snag and damage the bodywork. That’s what happened Juan Bermudez from California , as he took his 1974 Bug through the Quick Quack Car Wash in Citrus Heights. Apparently, one of the brushes was caught in the protruding rear bumper and scraped off some paint. Upon discovery, the owner called for damages to be paid and asked for the security camera footage taken during the wash. At first, he was denied both, but after involving the press and asking for legal advice, he got a call from Quick Quack that confirmed they were going to cover the severely scraped rear bumper, after having hidden behind their disclaimer that absolved them of any responsibility for cars more than five years old.

   Assetto Corsa is Italian for “racing setup” and the title of an upcoming PC-only driving/racing simulator that promises ultra-realism. It will let you individually tailor which assists you can use with the cars, but only if said vehicle has them from the factory in real life. Naturally, driving physics that closely mirror reality are also part of the Italian-themed package, though they don’t seem to be quite ready yet... The game is currently in a phase of early access beta, and those who have willingly parted with €34,99 or $48,90 gain access to its laser-scanned tracks and still limited list of cars that includes the McLaren 12C, Ferrari 458, Lotus Exige S and Evora S, as well as an Abarth 500 SS and two BMW M3s; lots more including the Pagani Zonda R will join the roster too. The graphics are very pretty, as we can see in the screenshots and videos posted below, and once polished up will undoubtedly be one of the game’s Forza-beating selling points. I was not able to track down any release date whatsoever, aside from the one for the beta, November 8. By Andrei Nedelea

Imagine That: Russian Points Out Egypt's Chaotic Roads

   We'll leave it to you to decide if it's refreshing or amusing that a Russian YouTube user (nicknamed Senmuth Av) has uploaded a video that highlights all the wrongs in another country and continent. Still, and while we cannot be entirely sure whether he filmed it or simply…borrowed it (his picture suggests the former), he had does have a point that driving around in Egypt can be a truly hectic, chaotic and nerve-wrecking experience with vehicles of all sorts appearing from nowhere and going on all sides of the road. The author also commented in the video's description box the following, which has been translated with the help of Google (so don't blame us for the thing that don't make sense…). [Google Translation] "There's almost a complete lack of traffic signals, traffic controllers, pedestrian crossings, prohibition signs. At the same time, a lot of lying cops let some cars with low ground clearance constantly koryabayut currently bottom. Overall, it seems that the motion is chaotic. Pedestrians walk on the road where they want, and the drivers do not miss them. More precisely, they never miss other drivers, and are in a hurry to drive themselves, without cursing like ours, but always BIBIK. Many cars have numerous dents and scratches. Once grappled mirrors: we drove corrected her mirror, the other carrier - its, Thu shouted to each other, and we drove on. Imagine what would we have? Gibddeshnikov wait for hours .. then draw ... If jam band, the plug can be circled in the opposite lane without problems. And simply can ride along the side of the oncoming lane."

Chaos Russian when angered drug and Porsche Cayenne Driver shoots bonnet locks

We know that it is a cliché to say that real life beats movies, but this time is true and happened in Russia when, for unknown reasons, a convicted drugs gangster previously attacked a man in a Porsche Cayenne.The incident took place on December 14 in the city of Chelyabinsk and was partially recorded in the Chamber - the victim in the Porsche.In the video, we see the unidentified driver of the Cayenne trying to flee from 47-year-old Stanislav Smelova riding an SUV gunmetal grey. Smelova not only crashed the Porsche, but also fired his weapon repeatedly at the driver wounding him and ultimately broke the windshield of the Porsche.Fortunately, the victim survived, but if a report by the Russian news agency URA is true, then the anarchy will have a new meaning as Smelova could actually finish off the hook, and we quote a translation of the report Google:"And now attention!"S.V.Smelov Bully "may qualify for an amnesty on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the Constitution. Previous convictions can be exchanged, if not previously released on parole, then right to forgive, for the majority, "hooligan" article 213 of the criminal code. And then Tyutyunnikov can safely return to firing a gun safely in the streets.

Cuba to Lift Restriction on Auto Imports, Finally…

   Cuba is definitely one of the top places to visit around the world, especially for car people who will undoubtedly find the Lada-powered American classics from the 1950s a real treat.However, it wasn’t by choice that the Cubans used the old Yank tanks and Russian Fiat 131s as their only means to get around, but rather because of the monopoly imposed by the government on the sale and import of cars. All who want to get in on the act in Cuba need an “authorization card.” Now, though, that may all change , according to The Washington Post quoting AP. Apparently, local officials had already lifted restrictions on second-hand sales two years ago, yet there had been no word as to the fate of imports. “It’s become clear that while private sales of cars between individuals has developed smoothly, the sale of cars using ‘authorization cards’ has been inadequate and obsolete,” reported Granma, the Party newspaper, adding that “the card, apart from being overly bureaucratic, became a source of speculation and illicit self-enrichment.” Following that statement, another one came out: “steps will be taken to eliminate restrictions that lost their reason for being with the passage of time. Administrative shackles that created opportunities for illegal activity will also disappear.” We will let you know how this develops further. By Andrei Nedelea Story References: Authorselectric

Spy Shots: BMW Unleashes the M Version of 2016 X6

 While BMW officials are denying the upcoming X4 compact crossover an M version, the next generation of its big brother will continue to offer a high-performance edition at the top end of its range. There's no question that his prototype is the new X6 M as it carries all the typical treats of the series, like massive rubber on all four corners, all-you-can eat plate-size brake discs, sculpted bumpers with air vents up front, and a diffuser flanked by twin exhaust pipes on either side at the rear, along with a discrete rear spoiler and "M" style double kidney grilles. You won’t be surprised to learn that BMW won't share any information on the powertrain at this point, but it is expected that the new X6 M will utilize either a new V8 turbo or an improved version of the current eight-cylinder force-fed mill. Sources from Germany have said that it could flirt with the 600-horsepower mark, up from the current model's 555-horsepower. Rendering Copyright: Carscoops

More Photos of the Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4, in Silver

   The V10-powered Lamborghini Gallardo replacement is here and it’s called the Huracan , named after the fighting bull Huracán of the Spanish Conte de la Patilla breed from the 19th century. The name is better than a-vent-a-door, but as far as the looks go, the larger car pulls off the visual trick better, I think. Now, after countless rendered shots posted, we have the real car for you too, courtesy of Autobild of Germany, the ones we also have to thank for the engine sound sample video too. This official, but low res set of photos, shows a silver car, with part-beige leather interior and a refreshingly simple steering wheel with few buttons and two hefty fixed paddles behind it – the dashboard is miles better than the ageing mess that was the Gallardo’s, from these first shots. On the outside, the silver seems to suit it really well and for some reason brings out more of the Huracan’s Sesto Elemento inspiration – the details are clearer and crisper in these photos too… Scroll down, check them out, comment, and tell us what you think of it.

NHTSA Pushing for Country-Wide Use of Breathalyzer Interlocks for First-Time DUI Offenders

  All of the US’ fifty states have laws permitting the use of ignition interlocks that can only be bypassed if the driver proves he or she has not been drinking , by taking their own breathalyzer test each time they set out. However, from that point on, legislation varies from region to region, and cannot be enforced with the same strictness everywhere, as NHTSA Administrator, David Strickland, would like. The official, speaking on behalf of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, urged all states to start requiring these devices for first-time drunken driving offenders, in order to “protect sober motorists and ensure that individuals convicted of drunk driving learn from their mistakes.” The Detroit News says that in the state of Michigan, for instance, the law prevents the device from allowing you to start your car, if the blood-alcohol reading is higher than 0.0025, and will then still subject the driver to random tests on the move. The price for all this safety is about $50 to $75 per device to buy and have installed, then another $50 to $75 in monthly maintenance and monitoring costs. The NHTSA says drivers of cars equipped with these interlocks are 75 percent less likely to go about their drunken driving ways again, and that’s why it’s funding a $7.5 million advertising campaign to raise awareness during the holiday season.

Renault : The ZE for Morocco

 We can't say that Renault has exploded the French market or European markets in Western Europe with its ZE range currently consists of a quadricycle , a city and a VUL ( Fluence ZE n ' is available yet ) . As the French manufacturer seeks he new opportunities to sell its electric cars struggling to attract European motorists .So we just learned that Renault would propose the Twizy , Zoe and Kango ZE on the Moroccan market in the coming weeks . So what is the subsidiary manufacturer in the kingdom, Morocco Renault Commerce (formerly Renault Morocco ) will be in charge of distributing these three vehicles. Unlike what happens in France , RCM will not sell ZE but only offer leasing. Gérald Porcario , Marketing Director Renault Morocco Commerce said: " We opted for a formula based primarily on the vehicle rental and battery spread over 48 or 60 months. " Moroccans will therefore not entitled to the famous formula for French who sells you a box without battery but you rented ad vitam eternam batteries required to move an electric car.Want business results in Morocco are of good quality even if there is little doubt because we can ask some questions about the famous charging infrastructure already very rare in our "acquired" the cause of VE countries.Source : Renault Posted By: Mufti Bayu - Friday, 6 December 2013

Next Holden Commodore Rumored to be Rebadged FWD Buick Made in China

   We learn from Cars Guide of Australia that there may be more know about the story of Holden shutting down . Apparently, GM did some kind of prior deal with Holden to have it design the next Commodore along with a Buick for the Chinese market. The Holden would have been made in Aussie, while manufacturing of the Buick-badged car would have been outsourced to China. Now that the production halt of 2017 is official, and GM denied getting rid of Holden as a brand , the quoted report has firm footing to believe that the car destined for the Australian market will now be built alongside the Buick. The worst part of all, for those used to rear-wheel drive cars being called Commodore, is that this future model is neither of those things… Four cylinders and front-wheel drive are expected. It will be a Euro-inspired car, and from what we understand a bit of a four-door coupe, sleeker than the car it will replace; length will be almost five meters so it will be about the same as the current one, in that area – the only similarity.
