-After Jeremy Clarkson’s blowup that cost him his contract as Top Gear host and put the remainder of Season 22 on hold, one of the first things BBC officials promised was that the show would return. Now, the broadcast company is confirming that claim, vowing to air the rest of Season 22, and bring back a revamped version of the show next year. – That’s the word from Kim Shillinglaw,
-“Convertible” and “automatic” are two words that can suck the joy out of a sports car the way fat-free and sugar-free can ruin a dessert. But that’s not quite the case with the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The Z06 convertible proves that there doesn’t have to be a performance penalty for taking the roof off and adding a conventional automatic. Weight rises by an unnoticed 55 pounds, the structure remains stout

-Today’s number: 444,000. That’s how many total horsepower (or “horsepowers,” as some of our German colleagues might say) will be churning under the louvered engine covers of the world’s fleet of Lamborghini Aventador 750-4 Superveloce models once the run is complete. So you don’t have to do the math, that means 600 of Lambo’s raucous, 740-hp Aventador SVs will be distributed around the world, with one of the chief markets being—you

– In an industry rapidly pivoting toward downsized engines in both cylinder count and displacement—but not power—the Land Rover LR4 stands out as one of the less successful experiments. Last year, the LR4 was stripped of its 375-hp 5.0-liter V-8 and six-speed automatic transmission; fitted in their stead was a 340-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 and an eight-speed automatic. You’ll note that 340 horsepower is significantly less than 375, and the
