Why 2016 GMC Canyon Duramax is the Most Capable Diesel Truck?

2016 GMC Canyon SLE Side View 2016 GMC Canyon equipped with the new 2.8L Duramax diesel engine is said to be the most capable Duramax truck. However, Chevrolet will surely argue with that. Even more, it is a strange coincidence that both companies are releasing at the same time (day) a new Duramax pick-up truck, offering two exceptional rivals to the customers. The question here is, which one is better?

One can’t simply argue, because both vehicles are actually powered by the same engine. So, obviously we are talking about GM debuting its new 2.8L Duramax diesel unit. But what it has to offer to the Canyon? Let’s see.

Environmental Benefits of the 2.8L Duramax Diesel Engine

2016 GMC Canyon SLE - Duramax Engine

GMC Canyon, powered by this new turbo-diesel powertrain receives the trailering capacity of up to 7,700 pounds (3,492 kg). The engine is actually certified at 181 horsepower (135 kW) and 369 lb-ft of torque (500 Nm), but it is still capable of delivering greater highway fuel economy than the Canyon’s gas engines.

In other words, this is the cleanest diesel truck engine ever created by General Motors. Another advantage is the standard Hydra-Matic 6L50 six-speed automatic transmission coupled with a Centrifugal Pendulum Vibration Absorber in the torque converter. It reduces the noise and vibration of the powertrain.

In addition, the smart diesel exhaust brake system improves vehicle’s control and reduces brake wear on steep grades. Both the new integrated trailer brake controller and the electronically controlled two-speed transfer case on 4WD models, now come as a standard.

Trailering Package as a Standard Feature

2016 GMC Canyon SLE Rear View

The Duramax diesel engine will be available for SLE and SLT Crew Cab models. They can be equipped with 2WD or 4WD. In addition, the diesel-equipped models will get the Trailering package as a standard. It comprises of hitch receiver and seven-pin connector, as well as the automatic locking rear differential, a 3.42 rear axle ratio and four-wheel disc brakes with Duralife brake rotors.

The truck is also abundantly fitted with technologies and connectivity features like the GMC IntelliLink, Apple CarPlay capability, OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot, Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Alert.

2016 GMC Canyon Duramax is scheduled to go on sale this fall.

Furthermore, Colorado’s maximum trailering capacity rises to 7,700 pounds on 2WD models and is expected to take the lead in its class, when it comes to fuel economy. And one more thing. This is the cleanest diesel truck engine, that General Motors has ever created.

The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax will go on sale this fall and will be offered in LT and Z71 Crew Cab models, respectively with 2WD and 4WD. And let’s see what else it will offer, along with the new powerplant unit.

Smart diesel exhaust brake system and standard Hyda-Matic 6L50 six-speed automatic transmission are now part of the standard equipment, along with the Centrifugal Pendulum Vibration Absorber. Furthermore, the Z82 trailering package is standard and includes hitch receiver and seven-pin connector, while the refreshed and restyled integrated trailer brake controller is standard on some and exclusive on other models from the lineup.

The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax will also include a 3.42 rear axle ratio as standard and there is a new, electronically controlled transfer case for the 4WD models.

2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax: the engine in-depth

Colorado’s turbo-diesel engine will not only bring power and efficiency, but it will also ensure smooth and pleasurable drive. The engine unit offers variable-geometry turbocharger for optimal power and efficiency and a balance shaft for smoothness. Long story short, you will feel comfortable of taming such a beast.

The engine, as said above comes with 500 Nm at 2,000 rpm and 181 hp (135 kW) of power output. This all means, that the 2016 Duramax is capable of maintaining powerful torque at low rpm, while the turbocharged system provides smooth, yet confident performance at any rpm level. And there are some additional engine features, worth to be mentioned:

aluminum DOHC cylinder head
Forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods
Oiling circuit that includes a dedicated feed for the turbocharger to provide increased pressure at the turbo and faster oil delivery
Piston-cooling oil jets
16.5:1 compression ratio
Common rail direct injection fuel system
Ceramic glow plugs for shorter heat-up times and higher glow temperatures
Balance shaft that contributes to smoothness and drives the oil pump

2016 Ferrari 488 Spider Has it All: 661HP and Entirely Retractable Hard Top [VIDEO]

2016 Ferrari 488 Spider Side View 2016 Ferrari 488 Spider has just been launched. This is company’s most powerful mid-rear-engined V8 car, which is fitted with patented retractable hard top (RHT). As a matter of fact, Ferrari was the first car manufacturer to introduce the RHT to the automotive market. As a result, there are around 25kgs saved and more comfort for the occupants in the cockpit.

In addition, 488 Spider is equipped with the highest level of technological innovation. Ferrari says that it has designed every inch of it with exclusive technological benchmarks for the sector. Examples are the aluminium spaceframe chassis and bodyshell as well as the V8 powerplant.

Aerodynamics

Very important about this Ferrari is that it is the most aerodynamically efficient Spider model ever built by the company. The engineers have taken care to ensure that there is optimal downforce and minimum drag at the same time.

SEE ALSO: Ferrari 488 GTB Debuts in Tokyo

This has been achieved through the addition of a blown spoiler and an aerodynamic underbody with vortex generators. In terms of air flow, Ferrari technicians have decided to take more seriously the in-car comfort, making the electric glass rear wind stop adjustable in three positions.

Aluminium Spaceframe Chassis

2016 Ferrari 488 Spider Rear View

RHT was the main point for the start of the design of the car. Using spaceframe chassis made of 11 different aluminium alloys and other metals, this allowed for achieving the same torsional rigidity and beam stiffness figures as the coupe variant. In addition, this highly sophisticated chassis also improved performance by 23%.

How the RHT works in practice? The retractable hard top folds backwards in two overlapping sections. It eventually rests on the engine in a very compact way. All in all, the RHT needs only 14 seconds to fully retract or deploy.

The Heart of Ferrari 488 Spider

2016 Ferrari 488 Spider Interior

The driving force of this powerful vehicle comprises of 3902 cc turbo-charged V8 engine. We have seen it already debuting on the 488 GTB. Performance-wise it produces no less than 661HP (486 kW) and 760 Nm (561 lb-ft) at 3000 rpm. If you wonder about the acceleration, this immense force sends the Ferrari from 0 to 100 km/h in 3 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 8.7 seconds.

The Heart of 2016 Ferrari 488 Spider Beats with 661HP!

How about the soundtrack? In line with Ferrari tradition, the 458 Spider has unique soundtrack created via the exhaust headers with longer piping and a flat-plane crankshaft.

Corvette ZR1 C6 Taking Out Two Mercedes-AMGs? [VIDEO]

Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vs Mercedes SLS AMG vs Mercedes C63 AMG Mercedes-AMG fans will hate this video, because it shows how a Vette C6 literally destroys two AMGs in a drag race. Everything is matter of seconds, but they are in favor of the Chevy. What’s even sad is that one of German-made cars was actually tuned. And can you believe that after the tuning, which gave the C63 AMG the strength of 700HP, it still couldn’t beat the Corvette ZR1?

Well, to be honest there are also some tweaks done on the Chevrolet, like the Stage 2 kit for the engine, which gives it the immense power of 720HP. And this is why it could actually beat the two Mercedes-AMGs. Wonder whether it could do this in case they all have kept their stock outputs? Especially the 570HP SLS AMG. What do you think?

It is based on the Land Rover Defender 110 Station Wagon and will be produced in only 68 examples signifying the years the legendary Defender was into production. After a 68-year production run, the Defender will be no longer available, and for this reason the tuning company decided to release the exclusive model in a limited edition of just 68 vehicles globally.

Starting with the aluminum underride guard with SIXTY8 logo, the STARTECH Monostar D and continuing to the 18-inch alloys and tinted panoramic glazing for the rear windows, and ending with the new front, which transfers the design philosophy of the classic model with the unmistakable shape of its radiator grille to contemporary times.

The grill was painted in black and so were the bumper and air intakes. Something very special here are the LED highlights and the already mentioned Monostar D alloys with vintage design. The 18-inch wheels are coupled with BF Goodrich All-Terrain A/T off-road tires of size 265/65 R 18.

Interior

SIXTY8 has an extremely beautiful interior as well.

The cabin also includes ALPINE multimedia system with 3D navigation and backup camera.

The details can be seen on the headliner and the sun visors for instance, since they are covered with fine black Alcantara. There is a glove box that is stylishly integrated into the dashboard, while the steering wheel, stainless-steel scuff plates and aluminum shift knob, emergency brake lever and pedals carry the SIXTY8 logo.

Drivetrain

Interestingly enough, Startech did do some work on the powertrain. It packs a 2.2-liter turbodiesel engine rated at 122 hp (90 kW) and 360 Nm (266 lb-ft), a sixspeed manual gearbox with off-road reduction gear and permanent all-wheel drive. It accelerates the Defender to 100 km/h in 15.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 145 km/h.

Eventually Bentley team climbed up the order back in the top 20. Not that bad, right?

So, shortly after 23:00 local time vehicle #7 made an overtaking move past a shower competitor just to be forced off the dry line and on to the wet part of the track. This resulted on losing control and hitting the barrier. Unfortunately for the team, the vehicle couldn’t go back on the track and had to retire. On the other hand, vehicle #8 continued the race with impressive confidence and speed, altering between P2 and P5. At dawn, the vehicle with Maxi Buhk in the vehicle, challenging for P4 suddenly was forced to retire due an electrical failure.

How to Hijack a Jeep Cherokee Over the Internet? [VIDEO]

Jeep Cherokee Gets Hijacked Jeep Cherokee models are one of the most famous SUVs around the United States. The fact that many are eager on driving one is indisputable. We found a very interesting video on YouTube, recently published by WIRED’s official page. It previewed how Andy Greenberg’s SUV gets hijacked… by hackers over the internet.

If you think that this isn’t possible, well, given that the technologies are developing unsteadily fast, it is no surprise that people are capable of doing it. The video below shows how two hackers have developed a tool that can remotely kill a Jeep on the highway.

While, WIRED’s senior writer, Andy Greenberg, takes the 2014 Jeep for a spin, the hackers were capable of sabotaging it from miles away. In fact, the duo developed the software for this particular model for over a year and it does not require any hardware change to the SUV.

Interestingly enough, there are no devices attached to the SUV that will allow a remote control. However, the Cherokee had a weakness, through which both hackers could attack it over the internet. How this has happened, see for yourself and watch it in the video below. I promise it will be very funny.
