The Evening Rush is your daily roundup of auto, gear, and lifestyle news, all in one place. Less time searching, more time driving. Motor on.

Automotive

The new Ford Fusion finally gets a much-needed boost in power with the new Fusion Sport. Pumping out a respectable 325hp and 380lb-ft of torque, the popular sedan might be the American Audi S4 for which we've waited so long.

Tesla is bringing the Model S 60 back to life. This time, buyers will get a 75-Kwh battery and optional AWD for $66k, or $4k less than the old model.

Acura plans on bringing two electric NSXs to Pikes Peak Hill Climb this year. Using four electric motors, the AWD NSXs should absolutely dominate the climb thanks to instantaneous torque.

Gear

Bringing your truck to the beach or the backwoods is a prime summer activity. The folks over at Scout Equipment have made a storage insert for the back of your vehicle that tightly houses a fridge, sink, stove and other comforts—its not glamping, but it's not not.

What good is an extra iPhone battery pack if it breaks? None at all. That's why Griffin Technology has made an ultra-durable, waterproof, shock-proof battery pack that can charge your iPhone three times over.

Lifestyle

Today’s beer pick takes us to Perennial Artisanal Ales in Saint Louis, Missouri. Focusing their attention on Belgian and American style ales, this small brewery is all about satisfying the palate of the craft beer lover. If you are able to get your hands on a pint, we recommend the Foeder Saison.

Summer has a lot of sun, sun makes you squint, squinting causes wrinkles, you're not ready for those yet. Don't age prematurely—there's time for that later. Buy a pair of Oakley Frogskin Moto Sunglasses for 55% off.
