1. For the “structural stiffness increased by 25 percent” mentioned in the press release, the most accurate message is: it is actually the front section of the car (body structure in front of the firewall) increased by 25 percent. The whole body’s torsional stiffness, according to Mr...

Following the official release of the 2016 GT350 Mustang, we wanted to share our brief analysis of this special monstrous sports car.

First of all, the 2016 GT350 has most of the necessary gears that you need on the track, for example:

Are you considering purchasing an electric car? Besides the “normal” selection such as the Chevy Volt, Tesla Model S etc., now you have one more choice: the Toyota Mirai, powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells Have Benefits

The good thing about fuel cell cars are: they have all the advantages of electric cars (low noise, zero emission, maximum torque output at 0RPM), BUT you don’t need to wait several hours to charge it. Fuel cell vehicles are like normal gasoline cars – you just need to refuel it in a hydrogen station and it can be done in a couple minutes.

Today Toyota announced its pricing on the 2016 Mirai: MSRP $57,500...

Why is the LF-LC different from the LFA?

Lexus has debuted the LF-LC back in the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.

Recently Alain Uyttenhoven, Lexus Europe Vice President, confirmed to the public that the upper management had green-lighted the production version of the LF-LC concept. Uyttenhoven also told the press that, the LF-LC will NOT be positioned the same as the LFA, and it is more “normal” than the LFA. The production volume will be also much larger than the LFA’s 500-unit count.

The LF-LC is said to be equipped with a hybrid V8 powertrain, delivering up to 500hp. We at youwheel.com will keep an eye on this exciting new model in the Lexus product line, so stay tuned.
