Porsche has revealed the latest 911 GT3 R, a race car that will compete in the IMSA endurance series and for the first time will be eligible for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2024.The water-cooled flat-six grows from 4.0 to 4.2 liters, putting out 565 ponies and routing that power through a sequential six-speed transmission.Porsche focused on improving drivability with the new GT3 R, redesigning the suspension to lessen tire wear and creating broader power and torque bands.Normally, developing a new race car is all about going faster. But in the two top endurance racing categories—the FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA SportsCar Championship—a system called “balance of performance” limits the cars’ abilities in order to preserve parity and prevent one manufacturer from dominating. Instead of focusing on outright speed, the new Porsche 911 GT3 R was developed with durability and drivability in mind, to give sports car racers an easier time conquering grueling races like the 24 Hours of Daytona.
The 911 GT3 R is, of course, based on the current 992-generation 911 platform, but the wheelbase has been extended by 1.9 inches and the aluminum-steel composite frame is now cloaked almost entirely in carbon-fiber body panels. The naturally aspirated, water-cooled flat-six engine comes from the road car but is enlarged from 4.0 liters to 4.2 liters. Peak output shoots up to 565 horsepower, but more crucially for Porsche’s goal of drivability, the torque and power bands are spread across more of the rev range.The engine is still mounted in the rear but Porsche leaned it forward by 5.5 degrees, allowing for more space for the rear diffuser, and the sequential six-speed gearbox has lifted from the GT3 Cup car—which races in a slower, one-make Porsche Supercup series—and modified for use in the GT3 R.
The 911 GT3 R uses an unequal-length control arm suspension design at the front and a multi-link rear suspension, while the adjustable KW shock absorbers have five settings. Porsche says the suspension has been designed to decrease degradation of the rear tires—allowing racers to drive longer stints while maintaining performance—as well as making it easier to institute setup changes. The extended wheelbase is also said to boost tire longevity and consistency of grip over longer periods on track.

Braking power is provided by six-piston, 15.4-inch front steel discs and four-piston, 14.6-inch rear discs, which clamp onto aluminum monobloc calipers. The traction control and ABS systems have also been revised to reduce brake and tire wear. Aerodynamics play a big role on the GT3 R. The front packaging was rearranged to create an elevated underbody section, working alongside the flat under tray and rear diffuser to produce downforce. The massive rear wing also contributes to creating negative lift and adopts a swan-neck mount just like the roadgoing GT3, which improves aerodynamic efficiency by allowing for cleaner airflow under the wing.
Inside, Porsche shifted the driver’s seat more toward the center of the vehicle, and the six-point harness was redesigned with new clasps to allow for quicker driver changes during pit stops. The new 10.3-inch screen comes from the GT3 Cup car, while the multi-switch steering wheel comes from the 911 RSR that currently competes at Le Mans.The GT3 R will hit the track in 2023 in IMSA and will become eligible to compete in the World Endurance Championship—which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans—starting in 2024 when GT3 cars replace the current GTE sports-car class that the 911 RSR races in. Unsurprisingly, piloting Porsche’s 911 race car won’t come cheap, with the GT3 R costing a cool $567,210.

• The 2006 Mini Cooper JCW GP was built for one year in a 2000-car run.• The example for sale is one of only 415 sold in the United States, modified for more power and improved handling.• The Mini will be up for auction until Wednesday, August 3.The quickest front-driver we’ve ever tested is a Mini Cooper John Cooper Works GP. That’s what Mini owners call the GP3, the third generation of the most powerful and littlest car in production. The Mini here is the original GP1 from 2006. Take our word from spending three days with 700 Minis and their gallivanting owners: Any GP grants you instant respect.On Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is owned by Hearst Autos), there are so many unattainable supercars it’s starting to look like the duPont Registry. So, today, we’re delighted to feature a limited-edition foreign car that’s currently at a $14,500 bid.

Bring a Trailer

The first-gen R53 Mini was a retro design that outlasted its direct competitors, the Volkswagen New Beetle and the Fiat 500. Evolutionary changes mean this half-German Brit looks just as attractive and relevant as a brand-new Mini. It’s one of 415 GPs sold in the U.S. out of 2000 worldwide. Small cars with big power are back in vogue, but in 2006, it was basically the Mini JCW GP and the Mazdaspeed 3. The Dodge Neon SRT-4, discontinued after 2005, was a Lincoln Town Car when parked next to a Mini.

Bring a Trailer

The JCW GP was a quicker, lighter version of a quick and featherweight Mini, the John Cooper Works. An ordinary JCW came from Oxfordshire as a stock Cooper S. Mini dealers modified the engine and exhaust with a factory-supplied kit that took the supercharged 1.6-liter inline-four to 200 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque without touching anything else. The JCW GP, despite being labeled a “kit,” was built by Bertone in Italy. The Italian mods included a new Eaton supercharger, a more efficient intercooler, high-volume fuel injectors, a remapped ECU with a higher rev limit, and a sport exhaust. Total output, sent through a limited-slip diff: 218 hp and 184 lb-ft.

Upgraded suspension, unique four-spoke 18-inch wheels, larger brakes, revised bumpers, side sills, and a rear wing distinguished the GP’s exterior. Without a rear seat or air conditioning, the GP shaved an impressive 110 pounds. With cold air blowing at our faces, we measured a 62-pound savings (for 2609 pounds total). Stock, it pulled 0.90 g on the skidpad and hit 60 mph in 5.9 seconds—a half-second quicker than a JCW. Every GP came in Thunder Blue with red mirror caps.Mini organizes a rally every two years called Mini Takes the States. This month, despite $5 premium gas, Mini owners trekked from Burlington, Vermont, to BMW’s factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina. GP cars from every generation stood out among the sea of Coopers—especially in the back woods of Tennessee, where Mini isn’t exactly a household name.

Bring a Trailer

It’s possible that one or several of this GP’s four owners ran the Mini rally at some point and then decided stock wasn’t good enough. According to the seller, the car’s suspension has Bilstein B12 struts, camber plates, and new front control arm bushings and a rear sway bar. There’s a smaller supercharger pulley and a new air intake for an unspecified increase in output. The brakes are from the second-gen JCW. Even the silver-painted interior trim is swapped out for carbon fiber. The original trim, brakes, and a duplicate set of wheels come included. At $31,150 brand-new, the 2006 GP was priced almost $10,000 more than a JCW. The current GP stickers for $45,570. Even in the crazy used-car market, we’ll bet this GP will go for a comparatively miniature-size price when the auction ends on Wednesday, August 3.

The 2023 Honda Civic Type R is shaping up to be one of the most exciting vehicles of the coming year. More restrained than its FK8-generation predecessor, this new FL5 Type R ditches the gobbs of fake vents and useless scoops for a more cohesive exterior package. That said, Honda hasn’t left the tuner car crowd behind entirely with this new offering. Honda Access, the company’s in-house accessories division, just unveiled a host of new accessories for the Civic Type R that bring back a bit of that overtly aggressive look.

Unveiled specifically for the JDM-market Type R, the accessory list begins with an upgraded rear spoiler. Constructed from carbon fiber, the new wing promises to shave 2.2 pounds off the car compared to the factory unit. If the wing alone isn’t enough of a visual tweak, Honda has also unveiled a new set of red mirror caps, which match the unique Type R badging. Other available exterior tweaks include items like Type R-branded door projectors, as well as a Euro-spec horn option.

Honda

This new batch of accessories also includes a few interior adjustments. The most notable of these options is the new leather-wrapped shift knob, which again comes finished in that famous Type R red. A set of new red carpets is also available, should you want to color-match them to the factory bucket seats. A carbon-fiber shifter surround is also available, complete with some red accents woven in. A few other interior trim pieces can also be had in this accented carbon finish, including the doorsills and uppers.

Honda

While this particular list of Honda Access parts is slated for the JDM market, we wouldn’t be surprised to see most of these hit U.S. shores at some point. That’s particularly true of the rear spoiler, which I think has the potential to be a rather popular option. Of course we shouldn’t have to wait too much longer before some proper aftermarket solutions start to arrive on the scene. Those folks will have no problem making the new Type R look a bit more wild, I guarantee it.

Mercedes has announced pricing for the 2022 AMG SL-class.It starts at $138,850 for the SL55 model and $179,150 for the SL63 model.Both are powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine.Mercedes is not being shy about the latest generation of its venerable SL roadster. Not only does it sport an all-AMG lineup, its pricing is ambitiously high, starting at $138,850 for the lesser SL55 and $179,150 for the more powerful SL63. That’s a good bit more expensive than the previous Mercedes-AMG GT coupe and roadster, which were phased out after the 2021 model year and started at $119,650 for the hardtop and $131,750 for the droptop.Both versions of the SL have a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine, with the SL55’s configuration producing 469 horsepower and the SL63’s producing 577 horsepower. 4Matic all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission are standard across the board.

Mercedes will offer the SL in two equipment levels, regardless of whether you choose the 55 or the 63. The Touring comes standard with equipment including massaging seats, a heated steering wheel, and a Burmester sound system. The Performance trim adds a front-axle lift system and, for the SL55, Mercedes’ Active Ride Control system and an AMG Dynamic Plus package with a limited-slip differential, yellow brake calipers, and different drive modes (these features are standard on the SL63).The AMG SL’s pricing puts it right in line with the Porsche 911, as the SL55 matches up with the 443-hp 911 Carrera 4S cabriolet ($138,550 base price) and the SL63 is relatively close to the 572-hp 911 Turbo cabriolet ($188,450 base price). We look forward to getting our hands on an SL to test so that we can see how it measures up to the Porsche in terms of performance.

Ford has just revealed its first electric police truck, the F-150 Lightning Pro SSV, claiming it will help reduce costs and increase efficiency for police departments.Among the purpose-designed features, the SSV will come with police-grade heavy-duty cloth seats that feature lower bolsters to allow officers to enter and exit the vehicle more easily.Ford has not released information regarding pricing or when the SSV will start to go on sale and ship to police departments around the U.S.Sometimes cars are so good at what they do they become the first image in your head when you hear that thing. For police cars, that is easily the Crown Vic. Of course, police departments have had other choices, including police cruisers like the Dodge Charger Pursuit vehicles. Many departments are also leaning toward the do-it-all capabilities offered by trucks. They should be interested in the new police version of the F-150 Lightning, the Pro SSV (for Special Service Vehicle), and it will be interesting to see how many municipalities will become early adopters of the EV as police vehicle.
The SSV version of the Lightning is not so different from the EV pickup it’s based on, itself very new on the market. The 12.0-inch display in the center of the dash is the same found in the normal Lightning. Performance numbers remain the same across the lineup as well, with 452 horsepower out of the standard-range battery, and 580 crime-fighting horses from extended-range models. Also shared with the normal Lightning is the claimed 4.0-second time to 60 mph, which would beat all police vehicles but the Ford Mustang Mach-E police prototype tested by the Michigan State Police, also at 40 seconds to 60 mph. Range figures are likely to be similar to the standard Lightning at 230 miles for the smaller pack, 320 for the larger, though exact numbers have not been confirmed.
The SSV will come equipped with the same “police-grade heavy-duty” cloth seats from the F-150 Police Responder along with the expected roof-mounted LED warning beacons and steel “intrusion plates” in the front seatbacks. And it will have the Lightning’s much discussed Pro Power Onboard, which Ford notes could serve as a mobile power source at accident scenes.

More to the point, Ford says the new electric pickups will use Ford Pro software—which it says 12,000 police departments are already using—that will integrate “seamlessly” with management of existing internal-combustion police vehicles in a department’s fleet. Ford also intends to offer municipal loan programs to help police departments get charging stations purchased, installed, and operational. Ford has yet to release details regarding pricing or delivery dates for the Lightning SSV, though more details are expected some time later this summer. Range figures should also be released at that time.

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning may be the brand’s most significant vehicle in recent memory. Not only is the Lightning an all-electric version of Ford’s bestselling nameplate, it’s also a pickup truck, so it must satisfy a wide range of expectations from buyers. To see how it measures up to those expectations, we evaluated an F-150 Lightning for two weeks and subjected it to every test procedure at our disposal.The video explains the results of our exhaustive testing, which includes acceleration, braking, interior noise, real-world highway range, charging speed, and storage. (We’ve already published the full test results elsewhere.)

The fully loaded Lightning Platinum we tested posted remarkably quick acceleration results, essentially tying the Rivian R1T—the quickest pickup we’ve tested—in real-world acceleration from 30 to 50 mph and 50 to 70 mph. On the other hand, the Lightning showed more brake fade in stopping tests than the Rivian. Measuring Range, Charging, TowingIn our real-world EV range test, where we drive at constant freeway speeds, the Lightning returned 230 miles against the Platinum’s 300-mile EPA rating. That result leads us to wonder how far a Lightning equipped with the standard 98.0-kWh battery might be able to travel versus the 230-mile EPA rating. To measure charging, we hook up an EV to the fastest charger it will accept and record the rate from a 10 to 90 percent fill. The Lightning’s 106-kW average exceeded that of the first R1T we tested, at 98 kW. How about towing? We loaded the Lightning with a 5100-pound trailer and set off on the freeway. While the power and stability were excellent, the range was lacking, falling to a mere 130 miles. Given the nature of the charging infrastructure and the fact you don’t start charging at empty, you wouldn’t want to travel more than 100 miles between stops.

The 2023 Chevrolet Colorado grows in size with a completely new and wider exterior design and a vastly improved interior. Chevy has added a Trail Boss trim level for the 2023 Colorado, but the mid-size pickup’s previously offered V-6 and Duramax diesel powertrains get the boot, replaced by the Silverado 1500’s turbocharged 2.7-liter inline-four with output varying from 231 to 310 horsepower with 430 pound-feet of torque.Chevy says its third-generation Colorado will begin production in the first half of 2023 at GM’s Wentzville, Missouri, assembly plant where the current Colorado and GMC Canyon are built.If it were possible to use an Easy-Bake Oven to cook up the perfect mid-size pickup, we’d hope the recipe would include the following fixings: the fun factor from the Jeep Gladiator, the ride and bed-storage tub of the Honda Ridgeline, the distracting good looks of the Toyota Tacoma, and the friendly starting price of the Ford Ranger. A dash of garlic salt wouldn’t hurt, either. The new 2023 Chevy Colorado is striving to be something like that. This all-new third-gen pickup, which goes into production in the first half of next year, fights to have all the best ingredients, starting with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that has as much horsepower as the V-6 in Nissan’s new Frontier.

Missouri’s First MegalodonChevy has streamlined the bulk of its configurability for the 2023 Colorado based on the popularity of the previous-generation truck, offering this new unit exclusively as a four-door crew cab with the shorter five-foot-two-inch box. From base Work Truck (WT) trim up to the dust-busting ZR2 off-roader, Chevy has opted to offer what most people want, even if that means giving some people more than they need by dropping short-cab and long-bed options.

L-R: 2023 Chevrolet Colorado LT, Colorado Trail Boss, and Colorado ZR2 with the optional Desert Boss off-road package.
Chevy

Proportionally, the new Colorado is 2.3 inches wider than the previous pickup. The new Colorado also uses a 3.1-inch-longer wheelbase across all trims, and a shorter front overhang to help improve approach angles. The new ZR2’s 38.3-degree approach is more than an upgrade from the last truck’s 31.8-degree angle; it’s also better than the current Tacoma TRD Pro’s 35.0 degree approach. In this segment, the Gladiator wins this metric with a gnarly 43.6 degrees of approach angle. Colorado wheels now use the full-size Silverado 1500’s 6.0-by-5.5-inch bolt pattern, which opens up aluminum wheel options from as early as 1999. With bigger hubs come larger brakes. The four-wheel discs on the 2023 Colorado are now over an inch larger up front, and nearly an inch bigger on the solid rear axle. It’s grown 200 to 300 pounds heavier in 4WD configuration, but the biggest increase is for ZR2 models. The last crew-cab ZR2 we tested had the soon-lost 3.6-liter V-6 and weighed 4749 pounds, but the new ZR2 is up in pant size to 5298 pounds, the largest increase we noticed from the specs provided. Goodbye Glow PlugsThe old Colorado and GMC Canyon were once two of just three mid-size pickups to offer a diesel powertrain, but not anymore. The 2023 Colorado will be powered exclusively by Chevy’s turbocharged 2.7-liter inline-four engine bolted to an updated eight-speed automatic transmission. Power varies between trim levels.
Base WT and LT trims come standard with 237 horsepower with 259 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain’s max towing capacity is 3500 pounds. The midlevel Z71 and new-for-2023 Trail Boss trim come with a 310 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque with 7700 pounds of max towing. That’s the highest in the segment. This powertrain is also available for WT and LT levels. Finally, the big-daddy ZR2 has the same horsepower as Z71 and Trail Boss, but with 430 pound-feet of torque at 3000 rpm. That’s a 121 horsepower and 61-pound-foot improvement over the outgoing diesel engine. Chevy says any trim can upgrade to the high-output engine through their Limited Production Option (LPO) preorder offer.Fuel economy ratings of the 2.7-liter have yet to be published by the EPA, but Chevy told us it’s roughly the same as the last-gen 2.5-liter pickup’s 19 city and 25 highway EPA rating. The turbocharged 2.7-liter engines are equipped with stop/start technology and active cylinder management that will drop combustion to just two cylinders when appropriate to save fuel.Trail Boss This, Hoss!Previously offered as a package for LT and Z71 models, Trail Boss is now its own trim level. It uses the same wide front as the ZR2 model, but with a smaller 2.0-inch factory lift for 9.4-inches of ground clearance and 32-inch Goodyear Territory AT tires wrapped around 18-inch wheels. The Z71 uses this same wheel and tire setup, but with a more premium-feeling interior versus the Trail Boss’ rugged cabin. Stepping up to the ZR2 model, things get even more serious.

The Colorado ZR2 comes fully loaded with 10.7 inches of ground clearance, the biggest tires, and the most LED lighting. Standard equipment includes Chevy’s Flow Tie front emblem, spray-on bedliner, 17-inch wheels with 33-inch mud-terrain tires, front and rear electronic locking differentials, a 3.42 rear axle, and extra body armor underneath to prevent the inevitable. It gets those pretty gold and blue Multimatic Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) dampers too. This time, the rear dampers are mounted outboard of the frame, rather than inside, which Chevy said was necessary for the new truck’s size and architecture. The Desert Boss, which is specifically the boss of deserts not trails, adds even more off-road flamboyance to the ZR2 as an additional equipment package. It adds 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, a special bash-bar front bumper, a roof-mounted light bar, an underbody camera, and decals that show everyone who the Desert Boss really is. It’s unclear yet what happens when two bosses meet in the wild. Maybe they expense lunch.

Standard for the ZR2, and available on other models, is a new tailgate storage system that provides a lockable space 45 inches wide by 4.0 inches deep to store tools, drinks, or your pet rock collection. This tailgate can also lock itself in the midway position, similar to what the Ford Maverick compact pickup does, to help flat-load items (up to 500 pounds) such as sheets of wood or drywall into the bed.Much Better InteriorThe redesigned interior is another major improvement over the outgoing pickup. Every Colorado comes with a large 11.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. This is the biggest screen in the smaller truck segment—at least until the upcoming 2023 Ranger goes on sale later this year with an available 12.1-inch screen.

Chevrolet

The gear shifter now favors the passenger side of the cab, and the cupholders are located directly low and in front of the center console instead of tucked opposite the gear selector. A new gauge cluster and steering wheel complete the updated design. Dual-zone climate control with rear-seat climate is also available. Chevy will even sell you red or yellow seatbelts for Z71 or ZR2 models, should you need extra interior flair. This is also the first time a sunroof has been offered for the Colorado.The new Colorado also gets an Off-Road Performance Display. The app delivers information about vehicle tire pressure, pitch, roll, g-force, GPS, and altitude depending on drive mode. While the Colorado won’t have a Sport mode, its Tow/Haul, Off-Road, Terrain, and Baja options are tailored for situations where specific throttle control and shifting are required. Among the camera views—there are up to 10 of them—the Colorado’s Hitch Guidance software, now standard, exists to help you line up the hitch on the first try. An additional Hitch View takes that camera a step further, with a zoomed-in view.Pricing should be announced later this year, and before then we expect to get behind the wheel of one. It will continue to be built by the folks at GM’s Wentzille, Missouri, assembly plant, with the start of production sometime in the first half of 2023.

Airstream and sporting-goods retailer REI have collaborated on a special edition Basecamp trailer that’s been designed for adventure-seeking campers.Sustainable materials, including fabric made from recycled materials, are used throughout the interior design.Pricing for the REI Co-op Special Edition Basecamp starts at $55,600 and one lucky REI Co-op member will win one through a sweepstakes that ends on September 5.Outdoor specialty retailer REI and Airstream have revealed a distinctively equipped version of the RV manufacturer’s 16-foot Basecamp trailer, complete with enhancements intended to allow users to spend more time off the grid. The REI Co-Op Special Edition Basecamp model follows a familiar formula for Airstream, by partnering with a luxury retail brand to customize a travel trailer to appeal to that brand’s target customers. Airstream has collaborated with Pottery Barn in the past, as well as clothier Tommy Bahama, and the REI collaboration seems like another natural fit.
A focus on environmental friendliness is evident in the REI Basecamp’s design. The interior’s stain-resistant fabrics are made from post-consumer recycled materials and the trailer’s exposed birch-ply cabinetry is constructed from lightweight, sustainably-sourced wood. REI’s signature New Spruce Green color is used inside and out to give the camper an attractive and, ahem, “on-brand” appearance.

A special recirculating water heater is said to reduce water usage. The system warms the water up before dispensing any from the kitchen faucet or the shower-head, rather than than discharging wasted cold water for a few seconds before the water heats up to temperature. Also onboard is a UV-LED water purification system and Airstream will also swap the trailer’s flush toilet for an optional composting one should you want one.
According to Airstream, the Basecamp trailer is the most aerodynamic model in their lineup, which the company claims helps reduce tow-vehicle fuel consumption on the way to the campsite. The REI Basecamp can be set up with one of two optional Solar packages to provide electricity if that campsite happens to one that’s off the grid. The first Solar package the same 200W bundle that’s available on the regular Basecamp trailer for $2100, but the other is a more robust 360W solar system for $5500 that also includes a 200Ah lithium battery bank to store electricity for use when boondocking. A host of gear-organizing features have been integrated into the Basecamp’s interior, including a modular floor-track system for securing larger items such as bikes during travel. A 25-piece REI product kit comes with each trailer and includes popular camping items such as camp chairs, a picnic table cover, kitchen utensils, and more. Rather than the traditional laminate found in other Basecamp models, Airstream has swapped in slip-resistant raised-coin style flooring.
Otherwise, the REI Basecamp offers a layout that is similar to the regular 16-foot Basecamp model. A rear-positioned dinette converts to a large bed that can accommodate two adults and a set of wraparound front windows provides a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. A kitchenette is positioned at the front of the trailer and features a sink with running water as well as a two-burner stove. The REI Basecamp does come standard with the Basecamp’s X package, which normally costs an extra $2700. The package gives the trailer more ground clearance thanks to a three-inch suspension lift, and also includes rock guards, solar window guards, and all-terrain tires.
The base price for the REI Basecamp is set at $55,600 including destination fees (a $6900 premium over the regular Basecamp 16), and the special edition model is available for order now through Airstream dealers. Deliveries are expected to start within the next few weeks, but if you’re an REI Co-op member you’ll also have a chance to win one. Entries for the sweepstakes will be open from August 8 to September 5. If you’re not a member of REI’s co-op program, you’ll need to join before entering to win the trailer, the cost of which is a one-time $30 fee.
