Automotive
Reports have surfaced that Bentley will use Porsche’s EV sedan platform for an electric vehicle of its own. Bentley already plans to introduce a hybrid system in the new Bentayga; this future EV sedan might very well be a Tesla Model S fighter.
Finally! The new Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro has debuted at the Chicago Auto Show. With knobby tires, wicked suspension, a manual gearbox and standard tow package goodies, we have a feeling this truck will be a serious hoss.
Infiniti has launched a Red Sport trim for the Q50. Dubbed Red Sport 400, this uprated sedan will—you guessed it—dish out 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. Expect sales to begin this spring.
Gear
