10 Cool But Extremely Slow Cars For Sale In 2023

Felipe Latorre Cabello — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 16:01:19 GMT

In times when cars are adopting literal golf-ball-like aero, those who make a name for themselves for being on the other end of the spectrum are not precisely given that much love. In all fairness, though, mass-production cars today serve a main purpose: to satisfy their customers with a car they can feel happy driving. For some, that happiness comes solely from speed and specs. For a great chunk of society, though, a car purchase decision comes down entirely to its use case. And that usefulness doesn't always come by the hand of crazy speed.

Top 10 Six-Cylinder Motorcycles

Raunak Ajinkya — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 18:01:16 GMT

When you think of six-cylinder vehicles, the mind typically goes to cars. Motorcycles?

10 Reasons Why The Honda S2000 Is A Roadster Legend

Adithya Gopal — Sun, 04 Jun 2023 12:00:16 GMT

There are sports cars and there are roadsters. The roadsters offer the same experience as a sports car, but are more fun thanks to their open-top roof. The Mazda MX-5 Miata is one of the most popular roadsters in the world and the best-selling sports car of all time. Roadsters are generally more expensive versions of the sports cars, and it is not easy to get a roadster right. They are inherently handicapped thanks to the absence of a solid roof, which takes away some of the chassis rigidity, affecting the handling. Manufacturers have to reinforce the chassis which adds to the curb weight along with a folding roof setup which is not feather-light. So, there are a lot of factors in play here, and unlike coupes, getting the dynamics of a roadster is not a walk in the park. This is one of the reasons why coupes are more popular than convertibles.

Why This Nurburgring Expert Thinks The 2023 Honda Civic Type R Lap Time Was Faked

Arun Singh Pundir — Mon, 01 May 2023 22:05:13 GMT

One of the easiest ways to prove the prowess of a car is on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, something that the 2023 Honda Civic Type R just did.

That sounds like a tall claim but Misha Charoudin, who runs an eponymous YouTube channel with more than half-a-million subscribers listed out the valid reasons, and Honda even sent a statement with a fine print specifying the model. Here’s all the down low.
