Ducati came to Detroit as part of their roadshow to show off the new DesertX ADV style motorcycle. Ducati took styling cues from the Cagiva Elephant but did not go full retro with it. The headlights and fairing shape recall those Dakar bikes of the 90s but bring them into the 2020s. The DesertX is powered by a 937cc V-Twin…

comments
Big Oly is an amazing piece of off-road racing and Bronco history. So much so, that someone recently spent nearly $2 million to acquire it. And it’s being put to use still, as it was down in Mexico for the Norra race. Whoever was driving it down there though just had quite an expensive moment.…

Those that frequently travel off-road are typically prepared with some basic recovery tools. The traction pad is one of the most obvious such tools.

Watch Carfection review a Jaguar XJR-15… in the rain!
/

comments
This is a car that should properly terrify you, I’d imagine. On a dry day, a Jaguar XJR-15 would likely prove to be a handful. So I believe Henry Catchpole is doing a good job of hiding the true level of nervousness as he pilots this particular example around a very wet racing circuit. Especially,…

You would think that anyone who looks hitting their local trails would also like to keep those trails clean. That’s not always the case though, and seeing garbage on a trail is a sadly familiar sight. But there are plenty of groups out there that push the idea and action of trail clean-ups. Maybe you…

The engine in the new GR Corolla is fascinating

comments
Did you think we’d all be getting this excited about a new Corolla? The recently revealed 2023 GR Corolla looks to be a ripping good time of a vehicle. And that’s in large part to its mini might of an engine; the G16E-GTS. This is a turbocharged three-cylinder mill that makes 300 horsepower and 273…

This Outmode video game unfolds in an insane synth universe
/
/
comments
Remember the game Outrun? Of course you do! The arcade and console classic is an on-rails racing game featuring some of the best Ferrari Testarossa-ripping action the mid-1980s had to offer. Now a developer is building a game with similar action, but this one cranks up the 80’s to an insane synth level that puts…
