Here's What Makes the Toyota GR Corolla's Engine Unique ›››
The Toyota GR Corolla was one of the most significant enthusiast-car launches of 2022, and one the most deserving of a technical deep-dive. After some prodding, Toyota provided us with technical details on its remarkable 1.6-liter three-cylinder, the G16E-GTS. So how did Toyota get 300 horsepower out of just three cylinders? A lot of clever engineering.
Fancy materials throughout, bigger exhaust valves, stiffer valve springs, oil-jet cooled pistons, and of course, a healthy dose of boost. Since writing this story, we've driven the GR Corolla, and its engine is a highlight. It's as rowdy as we hoped.
We Should All Be Driving Hybrids. So What's Wrong With Them? ›››
Road & Track editor at large Matt Farah explores why hybrid cars have gotten such a bad rap, while long-range, yet resource-intensive EVs are being forced upon us. Despite an infrastructure that isn’t ready for 100 percent EV adoption, and despite the fact that most people don’t really need 300 miles of range, culture seems to have passed over the plug-in hybrid entirely. Why?
2023 Nissan Z Performance vs. 2022 Toyota Supra 3.0 ›››
Comparison tests are a car-magazine staple for good reason. They're fun to read, of course, but driving two cars back-to-back reveals far more than just driving each car in isolation. Here, it was a reminder of the importance of the subjective rather than the objective. On paper, the Supra is the better car, lighter, faster, more modern—despite the Z debuting later—more luxurious. But everyone preferred the Z.
Understanding the mechanical makeup of a car can tell you a lot, but it won't tell you exactly how you'll feel when you drive the thing. The Z isn't as broadly competent as the Supra, but it was more fun on the road and at Lime Rock Park (one of America's great road courses). Driving both exposed the somewhat cold nature of the Toyota and revealed the old-world charm of the Nissan.
The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Is Astonishing ›››
While nearly every other publication went to a damp race track and the roads outside Pittsburgh to drive the new Corvette Z06, we got the car for nearly a week on our own in upstate New York. This was out of necessity: that Pittsburgh event and our Performance Car of the Year test were the same week. So Chevy shipped us a car from the event for both PCOTY and our first drive. Having the car on our own let us test it more extensively on track, with dozens of laps at Monticello Motor Club, as well as hundreds of miles in upstate New York. That gave us a better baseline for a review, and it showed just how capable and incredible this thing is. If only we could get every car for testing like this.
