2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Revealed With 470-HP V8

To steal the thunder from the Ford Bronco, Jeep unveiled the Hemi-powered Wrangler Rubicon 392 Concept back in the summer. Four months later, the production version has arrived, which is being touted as the "the most capable and powerful Wrangler yet."

The new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 packs a specifically tuned 6.4-liter V8 rated at 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, marking the first time the Wrangler has been offered with a V8 powerplant in nearly four decades. Nearly 75 percent of the Wrangler Rubicon 392's peak torque is available just above engine idle speed.

Paired with a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission and full-time active transfer case, this setup enables the Wrangler Rubicon 392 to rocket from 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds and do the quarter-mile in 13 seconds.

Thank you......................

Volvo Approves Plans For Mystery New SUV...

Although sales for sedans like the Volvo S60 and S80 are not the strongest these days, popularity for its SUVs has never been higher. The Volvo XC40 and larger XC60 and XC90 are proving to be formidable competitors in their respective luxury SUV segments. Meanwhile, the XC40's all-electric sibling, the XC40 Recharge, Volvo's first-ever pure electric SUV, has just entered production. So where does Volvo go from here, aside from regular model cycle redesigns? Well, it appears it's going smaller and all-electric. According to Auto Express, Volvo has decided its next SUV will be an all battery-electric even smaller than the XC40. More than likely, it'll be called the XC20, a nameplate the firm has already trademarked. Speaking to Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson at this year's Beijing Auto Show, he confirmed the smaller XC20 EV SUV will be one of Volvo's first vehicle to ride on a new dedi...

New Ford's Mammoth 'Godzilla' V8 Isn't Coming To The Mustang...

Nonetheless, Ford's Godzilla V8 was built with just a singular purpose in mind: to work. It's a unique design, not based on any other V8 in the Ford production V8 lineup, available in the 2020-model-year Ford F-Series Super Duty and Ford E-Series vans. Peak output is a stout 430 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. Granted, it's already been proven that the Godzilla V8 has plenty of overhead for tuners; just this month, Brian Wolfe, Ford Racing's former director, managed to squeeze nearly 800 horsepower out of the mill while keeping it naturally aspirated. The engine will eventually power a Fox-body Mustang drag racer. With a retail price of just $8,150, we imagine the engine will land in plenty more drag racer projects before production is through. "I'm not aware of any plans for [Mustang]," Pat Hertrich, the engineering supervisor on the Godzilla project, told Muscle Cars and Truc...
