In those two models, the V8 produces 555HP at 6,000 rpm and 680Nm or 501-lbs/ft of peak torque.

Art Lebedev’s Transparentius Eliminates Opacity, Improves Road Safety

Kudos where it’s due: not many design houses use tanks in their illustrations of a new road safety concept. Transparentius, as with most good ideas, is remarkably simple — you jack a camera onto the front of a truck, or lorry as they’re known in some places, and then project that image onto the back of your hulking transporter. The effect of this is to render the truck figuratively...

REPORT: Utah DoT Admits Higher Speed Limits has Worked Out to Less Speeding

When the Utah DOT raised the speed limit on two pieces of I-15 from 75 mph to 80 mph, it discovered that driving habits didn’t change. When the limit was 75 mph, the Utah DoT found that drivers were going between 81 and 85 mph. And now that the maximum limit is 80 mph, it has found that drivers are going between 83 and 85 mph.

Mercedes Prototype Automatically Slams on Brakes at Red Lights

The light has been yellow for too long, and you’re not making it through the intersection before it’s red. But either you don’t notice or you don’t care. But even though your foot is on the gas, the car brakes. Using a smart intersection, the light essentially communicates with the car. And if the driver still isn’t responsive to, say, brake after several warnings of...
