Organizers have canceled the North American International Auto Show scheduled for this June in Detroit, as the TCF Center (formerly Cobo Hall) becomes a Federal Emergency Management Agency temporary field hospital in the effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Dates have been scheduled for the next Detroit show in June 2021. “Although we are disappointed,
Sometimes on Hot Rod Garage, we work with spotless, classic cars. And sometimes we work with old clunkers we found in a junkyard and fixed up for cheap.
It may be a bit unorganized, even chaotic, but the Arsenal of Democracy is gearing up as the auto industry is scrambling to help health care workers fight a pandemic. Politics and confusion aside, carmakers and suppliers are forming partnerships and retooling idled plants to make masks, respirators, ventilators, and protective gear. Despite the voluntary
On Friday, after hinting that he may do so previously, President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act (DPA) compelling General Motors to make ventilators. This action is specific to General Motors, but confusingly comes several hours after that company announced plans to build ventilators at its Kokomo, Indiana, plant with partner Ventec Life Systems, which
We’ve seen all kinds of “tiny homes,” but this incredibly, wood-lined one doesn’t feel so small thanks to its clever use of space and materials. Also, it’s actually a school bus—so it’s not really that tiny, and combined with its excellent execution, it has just about everything a camper could need for you to live
The Bloodhound LSR team, caretakers of the long-gestating effort to eclipse the 763-mph land-speed record using a jet-powered wheeled missile of the same name, released a really cool video that shows how its car stacks up against representations of a Formula 1 racer, a Bugatti Chiron, and a regular road car in regards to acceleration
Is it just us, or does it seem like every last morsel of scandale and rumor about the new Chevrolet Corvette has cropped up in the internet’s every nook and cranny? GM employees have been arrested while driving it. One poor example had its wheels stolen while parked in Detroit, Michigan. There are aftermarket parts for it already, and
Mini is bringing back a stylish special edition that launched way back in 2007. Arriving in dealerships this April, the 2021 Mini Cooper S Convertible Sidewalk Edition receives special wheels, colors, and interior features. The Sidewalk Edition offers two paint color options: Deep Laguna Metallic and Enigmatic Black Metallic. Both hues are complemented by a special
The NTT IndyCar Series on March 26 announced that its biggest race, the Indianapolis 500, is postponed until August 23. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause organizers of major events—sporting and otherwise—to search for alternative dates in the hope they can salvage their seasons if spread of the virus is brought under control in time
You’re looking at “Brown Sugar,” a 1983 Chevy C30 dripping with nearly as much early 1980s nostalgia as Stranger Things. This was built for the 2019 SEMA show by River City Rods of Davenport, Iowa, a shop that was only founded in 2016. As you can see, they figured things out pretty quickly. This is
You have to love the Train à Grande Vitesse, the TGV, France’s iconic high-speed train, the pride of a nation of vehicular pioneers. And in the midst of an absolutely horrible disease outbreak (the coronavirus pandemic and the illness), the French have put the TGV to a novel use: carrying severely ill patients to less-impacted areas.
Morgan managed to squeeze out only four copies of the Plus 4 70th Anniversary Edition before shutting down its U.K. factory over mounting coronavirus concerns. A total of 20 vehicles will eventually be made, all featuring special badges, a gold-painted chassis, and slick Platinum metallic paint—a nod to the 70-years-young Plus 4 nameplate’s platinum anniversary. The

The Chevrolet Camaro coupe and convertible enter the 2021 model year with minimal changes according to the bow-tie brand’s fleet order guide. The most noteworthy change to the model is the addition of standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility across the line. It joins newly standard wireless charging on higher-end 3LT and 2SS
The 2020 Mazda CX-30 might be the newest addition to the Mazda family, but one peek inside makes it abundantly clear this crossover belongs in the same showroom. The Japanese automaker might not have the size, clout, or breadth as larger full-line global automakers, but the CX-30 continues the tradition of excelling in the areas
For many overlanders and off-roaders, modifying their SUV or truck is half the fun—I know this full well, as I’ve watched my wife turn her Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid into a light-duty overland expedition rig. But modifying any vehicle (not to mention assuming you know better than a team of highly skilled automotive engineers) can be
As a car fanatic, you already know that JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market, and that Japan has a propensity for giving cars unintentionally funny names. You also know that a lot of Japanese cars don’t make it to North America—and to our dismay, they’re usually the coolest and/or weirdest ones. That forbidden fruit appeal
Yes, you can give your Fox-body Mustang a new paint job or an engine rebuild, but one of the easiest ways to make your classic sports car look and feel like new is to get an original-style window sticker. It’s a surprisingly cheap and simple add-on that you can get for your 1987-1989 Mustang on
Let’s cut to the chase: The McLaren F1 is one of the most legendary supercars ever made. There is simply no overstating how mind-blowing the F1 and its race-bred counterpart, the F1 GTR, were in the early 1990s. Just 104 F1s were ever made, but the F1 GTR is even rarer (26 made), and its
It’s no secret that the automotive industry moves fast, with fierce competition in every segment. It’s normal for vehicles generations to be replaced every five or six years, bringing new technology on board and under the skin, as well as better safety technologies. Jeep introduced the current-gen Cherokee as a 2014 model at the 2013
Most PowerPoint slide shows are a real snooze. Not this one that reportedly shows Toyota’s future product timeline, though. Credit a snitch at a recent dealer conference who snapped this pic, which reveals the launch timeline for several of our favorite Toyotas, as well as news of two new crossovers. Surprised? According to the sleuths
The current health crisis gripping the nation has halted the automotive industry and left many of us stuck at home for the next few weeks. And though we should feel proud that we’re doing our part to help flatten the curve, that doesn’t make the isolation and boredom any easier to deal with. (And we’re
Everyone is going electric, but given the high costs associated with developing EVs, it’s little surprise luxury brands now lead the mainstream push. Tesla (and to a lesser extent, Nissan) got the ball rolling, Mercedes-Benz created its EQ brand, the VW Group introduced the Audi E-Tron and Porsche Taycan, Ford says the Lincoln brand will
Hyundai fields five Veloster N race cars in the dramatic first race at Daytona Speedway in pursuit of the 2020 IMSA TCR Championship. #HyundaiRacing …
I’ve come to appreciate a few things in our long-term Mazda3 that set it apart from its main rivals, the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. For starters, the optional head-up display (Active Driving Display in Mazdaspeak) is well executed, and Mazda gets bonus points for including its brightness and screen height in the programming of
Aston Martin has a very new, very powerful 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 on the way, and here’s a closer peek at it. Like a proud parent, the marque released a slew of photos of its in-house designed and hybrid-capable engine that will make its debut in the 2022 Valhalla. The engine’s codename, TM01, is a tribute
You could hear a Supervan long before you could see it. A screaming V-8 thumped the eardrums, but what eventually barreled into view was not a sleek race car but a massive, boxy…van? These custom creations were essentially pure race cars stuffed inside Ford Transit van (or vanlike silhouette) bodies, with outrageous performance. Wildly popular
RADwood Austin 2020 was quite the event, showcasing hundreds of cars from the 1980s and 1990s. If you haven’t checked out our Rad All-American ’80s and ’90s cars from this year’s event, you should. But if you’re here for Fox Bodies and Fox Bodies only, you’re in luck ’cause we have that handled, soo. The
Innova’s CarScan Pro will excite both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts with special reset functions and dealership-level reader procedures.
If you drive a new Volvo, then listen up. The Swedish brand is recalling every vehicle in its 2019-2020 lineup due to concerns over its automatic emergency braking system. The feature may fail to detect obstacles and thus may not engage when needed, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
