DMC has turned the DBX into an 800hp Super SUV. The result is dubbed the Aston Martin DBX Fuerte. Although DMC isn't renowned for tuning Astons (the tuner recently worked its magic on the Ferrari Roma), it also built a Fuerte version of the DBS in the past. — Car Buzz ImageImageImageImage
Instead of designing a widebody kit, DMC has taken a more subtle approach that retains the SUV's slick design. At the front are bespoke aero-enhancing front bumper attachments made of carbon fiber available with a glossy or matte finish. ImageImage
In addition, DMC has upgraded the DBX with a new trunk wing and a roof spoiler that improve downforce and make the SUV look more aggressive without going too over the top. ImageImage
The German tuner also designed a custom rear diffuser that hints at the extra power under the hood. Completing the changes on the outside are a set of sporty-looking 24-inch wheels wrapped in 295/30R24 tires at the front and 355/25R24 tires at the rear. Image
By installing a larger turbo loader, a sport filter, and a sport exhaust system, DMC has extracted 796hp and 1,000Nm of torque, up from 542hp and 700Nm in the regular DBX. Image
With all that extra grunt, DMC's DBX will do the 0-100kph dash in 3.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 327kph. For comparison, the standard DBX will do the same sprint in 4.5 seconds and max out at 291kph.

2022 Toyota Probox Is A Dirt Cheap Van With 1980s Interior, Steelies: We kinda love the ultra-simple instrument cluster. Toyota launched the Probox in Japan in 2002 and introduced an updated version in 2014. — @Motor1com ImageImageImageImage
It aims the model at the commercial light van market, rather than the general public. This becomes obvious when you look inside and see the very simple cabin. The instrument cluster amounts to a massive speedometer with a small digital display below it. ImageImageImageImage
The dashboard is even more basic. There's a phone holder next to the steering wheel, which is convenient for workers. There's absolutely no infotainment system. Image

One of the biggest names in the 4X4 aftermarket business, TJM, has unveiled a full suite of accessories for the all-new 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series. — @carsales #LC300 #NamesHavePower #ToyotaKenyaExperience ImageImageImageImage
Headlining its LC300 range is TJM’s all-steel Outback bull bar that offers plenty of protection up front and takes into consideration the new Land Cruiser’s low-mounted intercoolers. ImageImage
The company, which is part of Aeroklas Australia, says its engineers have ensured air flow remains the same as the factory bumper while adding more protection and strength. Image

For 2022, @Toyota will offer the Avalon in six grades: XLE, Limited, Touring, XLE Hybrid, XSE Hybrid Nightshade and Limited Hybrid. Sadly, the sporty Avalon TRD model introduced in 2020 is gone, only lasting two model years. ImageImageImageImage
Toyota has also discontinued the Avalon's short-lived all-wheel-drive option. The XSE Hybrid Nightshade is the only new trim level, replacing the V6-powered Nightshade Edition from 2021. ImageImageImageImage
Pricing for what will likely be the last Avalon starts at $36,375 (plus a $1,025 delivery processing and handling fee) for the base XLE grade. The XLE Hybrid starts at $37,350, offering less power but much better fuel economy of around 18.3km/litre combined. ImageImageImageImage

.@Twitter went into a tizzy earlier this week after a “Wheel of Fortune” contestant narrowly missed the final puzzle due to a technicality. The woman, Charlene Rubush, would have won an Audi Q3 on Tuesday, though she took too long to offer the complete right answer. — @Motor1com
However, Audi is stepping up to gift Rubush a new 2021 Q3 anyway.
“In the spirit of the holidays, we are thrilled to gift Charlene with an all-new Audi Q3,” said Tara Rush, Audi of America Chief Marketing Officer. “It is the season of giving after all and, technicality or not, we are always eager to share a bit of Audi magic and cheer!”

The 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II Crowned a Four-Cylinder German Arms Race: This rare DTM homologation special sports wild aerodynamics and huge naturally aspirated power. — @MotorTrend ImageImageImageImage
In the late 1980s and early '90s, Germany's DTM touring-car racing series featured epic battles between the four-cylinder E30 BMW M3 and the four-cylinder Mercedes-Benz 190E, and both were constantly escalating their entries' power and aerodynamics. ImageImage
This arms race culminated with the BMW M3 Sport Evo and this car, the 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II. No, the Benz didn't automatically win the dogfight because its name was longer. ImageImageImageImage

What is the difference between AWD cars and 4WD vehicles? How do these systems work? And importantly, which one is best for your needs? #Thread ImageImage
AWD and 4WD are similar, but ultimately different, concepts. The former is an abbreviation of all-wheel drive while the latter refers similarly to four-wheel drive.
While both work on the premise of drive being sent to both the front and rear axle of a vehicle, they differ in their practical uses.
