Infiniti Americas Vice President Randy Parker announced the availability of three new turbocharged engines for the Q50, including an advanced 400-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, and debuted the 2016 QX60 with restyled exterior and interior designs and improved driving dynamics.

(December 16, 2015) NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan announced Tuesday that a new 5.6-liter Endurance V8 gasoline engine, assembled in Decherd, Tenn., will be available in the all-new Titan and Titan XD full-size pickup trucks, completing the first phase of the "American Titan" story. 

The engine features four-valves per cylinder, Variable Valve Event & Lift and Direct Injection, and is rated at 390 horsepower @ 5,800 rpm and 401 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm.

(December 15, 2015) TORRANCE, Calif. — Driven by the expanding responsibility for developing new automotive and power sports products in America and the related need for performance testing, Honda will invest $25 million to renovate the Honda Proving Center of California (HPCC) in the Mojave Desert near Cantil, Calif. The proving center, which was in operation from 1990 through 2010, is scheduled to reopen in April.

This 1936 Ford four-door sedan has been picked clean with just the shell and the remnants of its V8 engine block remaining. The V8 was the standard engine offering for Ford cars in 1936. The mid-30s Fords were very popular and ran neck-and-neck with Chevrolet for the title of "best selling car." (Photo by Jim Meachen)
