The Ford Ranger has been a popular choice for truck enthusiasts since its introduction in the early 1980s.

The latest addition to the Ranger lineup is the Ford Ranger Wildtrak X, a model that Ford bills as "Raptor Lite." The Wildtrak X is designed to be a more affordable alternative to the high-performance Ranger Raptor, while still offering many of the same off-road capabilities and features that make the Raptor such a popular choice.

At first glance, the Wildtrak X looks like a standard Ranger, but upon closer inspection, you'll notice several key differences that set it apart. For starters, the Wildtrak X comes equipped with a set of all-terrain tires mounted on 18-inch black alloy wheels. These tires provide excellent traction on a variety of different surfaces, including dirt, sand, and mud.

Underneath the Wildtrak X, you'll find a set of heavy-duty off-road shock absorbers that help to smooth out rough terrain and improve the truck's overall ride quality. The Wildtrak X also features a locking rear differential that helps to improve traction and stability in challenging off-road conditions.

Inside the cabin, the Wildtrak X features a range of premium features that help to set it apart from other Ranger models. The seats are upholstered in leather and suede, and the steering wheel is wrapped in leather for a comfortable grip. The infotainment system features a large touchscreen display and supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Under the hood, the Wildtrak X is powered by a 2.0-liter EcoBlue bi-turbo diesel engine that produces 213 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth, precise shifts and excellent fuel efficiency.

Overall, the Ford Ranger Wildtrak X is an impressive addition to the Ranger lineup. With its rugged design, impressive off-road capabilities, and premium features, the Wildtrak X is sure to appeal to truck enthusiasts who are looking for a capable and stylish off-road vehicle that won't break the bank. Whether you're heading off-road for a weekend adventure or tackling tough job sites, the Wildtrak X is a reliable and versatile choice that won't disappoint.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1: The Fastest, Most Powerful Corvette Ever

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.

• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.

• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.

• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.

• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.

• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.

“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”

The Street-Legal Red Bull RB17 Hypercar

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
