| Most Read Car Reviews of the Week: March 8 – 15 Posted: Share this Article Our look at Ford's all-new Edge was the most popular review on AutoGuide this week. The new Edge packs fresh style, new engines and a refined interior. Does this make it a class leader? Read the review for our thoughts. Second this week is the 2015 Bentley Flying Spur V8 review. With a price tag of just over $250,000, this is one of the nicest luxury machines on the market. SEE ALSO: Most Read Car Reviews of the Week: March 1 – 8 A comparison makes the third spot, the 2015 Chevy Trax vs the Nissan Juke. Both subcompacts offer a different take on the segment, but which is the better product? The 2015 Buick Verano Review slots into the fourth position on the list. A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine gives the Verano a respectable 250 hp. Finally, the new Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen finishes out the list. This is Volkswagen's latest station wagon to hit the market here in the U.S. If you're in the market for a new car, be sure to head over to our new cars buying section. 2015 Bentley Flying Spur Review Loading, please wait...  |
| Galpin Fisker Rocket Ford Mustang Production Begins Posted: Share this Article The Galpin Fisker Rocket Ford Mustang will debut in production form at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. The low-volume Mustang is the result of a collaboration between Galpin Auto Sports and Henrik Fisker and is called "The Rocket." It will make its debut on March 14 and production of the car has begun after the company showed off a prototype at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Inspired by the specialty pony cars of the 1960s and early 1970s, Fisker also borrowed designed cues from the 1968 Shelby GT500. Priced from $109,000 the Rocket will come standard with carbon fiber coach work, a performance package and a Bassani exhaust while those wanting the 725 hp will have to opt for the supercharged version that is priced from $125,000. SEE ALSO: Galpin Fisker Rocket Makes a 725 HP Statement Options for the Rocket include an interior package featuring hand-finished Italian leather upholstery seats, dash, center console, door panels and rear deck interior panel in addition to suede-lined A, B and C pillars. A custom-tuned premium audio system is also available for those that want a complete packaged sports car as well as an ultra-high performance Gran Turismo brake package from Brembo. Wheels options include 21-inch rollers from ADV1 and a special, track-oriented lightweight 20-inch wheel and tire combination. "The response has been overwhelmingly positive from all over the world – you can't get better feedback than that two months after debuting a car you helped build," said Beau Boeckmann, President of Galpin Motors. "I'm so proud of Henrik's amazing design, and the team at Galpin Auto Sports for the detailed performance work. Amelia Island is the perfect venue for this debut as it draws an eclectic group of passionate automotive enthusiasts from around the world into one picturesque central location that celebrates the automobile."

The package is available on the V8 version of the F-150, adding a 2.9-liter supercharger system along with an HPE engine management calibration, dyno tuning and road testing. On the outside, the F-150 transforms with 17-inch Hennessey wheels wrapped with 33-inch BFGoodrich tires while the fender flares get a contrasting black finish.

| Watch Bugatti Build a Veyron Engine Posted: Share this Article As we bid farewell to the Bugatti Veyron, its 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine is still an amazing piece of engineering. The final production Veyron was recently shown at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show before heading to its new owner in the Middle East. But what makes the world's fastest production car tick?
