Automotive
Spy shots of the Chevy Silverado 2500/3500 have leaked and although the body changes are only minor, reports indicate that the 6.6L V8 will be heavily redone to compete with the Ford Super Duty series. The workhorse is expected to push out over 425hp and a heaping 860lb-ft of torque.
According to reports, you will soon be able to upgrade the family Volvo with Polestar performance parts. Up until now, Polestar performance was only available to those who purchased a Polestar edition of the 60 series, like the V60. Now that Volvo owns Polestar, customers will be able to pick and choose performance parts to tune their Volvos to their exact liking.
According to spy shots and reports, the 2018 BMW M5 is keeping similar power numbers but could lose up to 220lbs. The new M5 will likely use the 5.5L V8, which makes upwards of 600hp. That will be... enough.
