If we just double this to achieve all wheel drive, we’re already looking at a monstrous 1,100 Nm of torque, but this won’t be the case if Volkswagen decides to use a smaller motor for the front axle. Current GTX versions of smaller MEB-based ID

From the April 2023 issue of Car and Driver. Beneath the purple skin specific to this commemorative Edition 50 Jahre that celebrates a half-century of BMW’s M Division, and shared by all M3 Competition models, is a stonking 503-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.

From the May 2023 issue of Car and Driver. 40,000-Mile Wrap-Up Speed is an expensive habit, and the more you pay, the more you get. Take our long-term 2022 BMW M3.

Even with a number of options, our M3’s $77,825 as-tested price is less than the starting price of a Competition xDrive. Opting for the do-it-yourself gearbox gives up a little over a second in

“There may be aftermarket suppliers building them, but the Chrysler LX cars deserved a crack at the OEM convertible lifestyle. “Mopar always had moderate success with their Sebring model, no matter how terrible it was – and a move to the 300/Charger/Challenger would have been a strong seller.” The Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger would all look excellent with no roof.
