(October 27, 2017) Hyundai Motor Group has outlined its future powertrain development strategy, at its International Powertrain Conference in Korea this week. At the conference, Hyundai is displaying the first four engines and two transmissions from its forthcoming line-up of new "Smart Stream" powertrains.

More than 1,200 engineers and academics from world leading powertrain companies are participating in the two-day event, which features presentations exploring the core theme "Knock the Limit of Powertrain Technologies: To Enhance Value for Customers."

(October 27, 2017) MALVERN, Pa. — AmericanMuscle.com, in conjunction with RTR, is conducting a giveaway of a 2018 Mustang RTR Spec 3. RTR, or “Ready to Rock,” is a special performance model of the Ford Mustang designed by Vaugh Gittin, Jr. Gittin is a world champion drifter.

The RTR package is specially installed by Ford dealers nationwide. The Ford licensed RTR products combine elements from Japanese drift culture and European sports car influences to create a modern, functional and exhilarating package geared toward the late model Mustang enthusiast.

The "Advance Design" Chevrolet trucks entered the scene in June1947, and exterior styling remained virtually the same through 1953. The first major change was with the grille treatment in 1954. This copy of the time period was found in relatively good condition in retirement behind a garage in southeastern North Dakota. (Photo by Jim Meachen)
