This IX60 is virtually as quick as the AB DBX707 to 100mph, pretty impressive but after 120mph it seems to slow quite a bit, about 13.1sec to 200km/h

One of the Aston Martin DBX 707 tests has yielded some incredibly impressive results. I believe they've tested it twice and it's beat out the European and American tests which for them is unheard of. I'll need to triple check at somepoint.

The BMW is certainly an eye raiser too!

Tested: 2022 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 PDK Is Plenty Quick and Sounds Great!
The sweet-sounding GTS may be only a few options away from base-911 money, but its performance is close too.


"In just the last two years, our Car and Driver test team has vetted many flavors of Porsche, 34 to be exact. Of the stack from Stuttgart, 11 were GTS models, four of those 718s, but this Python Green ($2580) 718 is the first Boxster GTS we've tested with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The average launch to 60 mph for all those Porsches, from the base Taycan to 911 Turbo S Lightweight, is a frantic 3.1 seconds. This souped-up Boxster is just 0.3 second below that average and not all that far from the 911's performance feats.

2022-porsche-718-boxster-gts-4l-pdk-156-1666792882.webp


The 718 is available as a hardtop Cayman coupe or a convertible-top Boxster. In base form, they're powered by a Subaru-sounding 300-hp turbocharged flat-four, but the GTS ushers in the glorious tenor of a 394-hp flat-six engine. This engine is a detuned version of the Cayman GT4's 414-hp unit, and you don't need to crank the 4.0-liter to its 7800-rpm redline to enjoy it. The GTS's standard Sport Exhaust is a good set of pipes, and in our sound-level tests, the difference between the Boxster (with its top closed) and the hardtop Cayman at wide-open throttle and at a 70-mph cruising speed was negligible.

The Boxster is some five seconds quicker than the 670-hp Corvette Z06—that is, in terms of roof operation, performing its powered ceiling dance in roughly 10 seconds. Where acceleration is concerned, our 718 Boxster GTS's 3.4-second 60-mph time was 0.4 second quicker than the six-speed manual 718 Boxster GTS and identical to its hardtop 718 Cayman GTS PDK counterpart. It's also just 0.2 second behind the base 911 Carrera's sprint to 60 mph. More impressively, its 8.2-second run to 100 mph puts it only a few tenths of a second behind wildly more expensive and powerful convertibles such as the $284,150 911 Speedster and the 540-hp Audi R8 V10 Spyder.

This PDK-equipped Boxster 718 GTS reached the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds at 119 mph. Using similar tires with the same size wheels, the PDK-equipped 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, which weighed about 20 fewer pounds than the Boxster, narrowly beat it in the quarter-mile by 0.1 second at 121 mph. The two cars' braking performance is as similar as their appearance below the beltline. The Boxster stops from 70 mph in 145 feet and from 100 mph in 294 feet, while the Cayman does so in 149 feet and 301 feet, respectively.

2022-porsche-718-boxster-gts-4l-pdk-331-1666792886.webp


Although the GTS's crisp-shifting six-speed manual transmission provides a more visceral experience, the PDK's quicker acceleration and sharp reflexes prevent it from being the wrong choice. Rather than behaving like it's attached by strings to the EPA test cycle, the PDK shifts when we would. If you find yourself fussing with the paddle shifters despite the PDK's prescient gear selection, you probably should've ordered a manual from the start. (The dual-clutch's $3730 penalty probably won't sway buyers in either direction.)

A tightly packed cabin comes with the territory of any two-seater, and 718s don't have much in the way of storage areas. They do have cupholders—spindly contraptions that pop out from the passenger side of the dashboard. Filling one with a large Mountain Dew Baja Blast from Taco Bell might mean you end up with an empty cup and a mess by the time you get home. A 70-pound Great Pyrenees fits perfectly fine in the passenger seat but now will only eat New Zealand-caught salmon and kibble that's been carefully massaged into a pâté. Is that from the ride in the fancy Porsche or the symptom of a newfound food allergy? The dog simply won't say."

Tested: The 2023 Kia EV6 GT Scrambles Brand Perceptions!

The high-performance electric is a change agent for Kia.


PUBLISHED: DEC 6, 2022

2023-kia-ev6-gt-2387-1669991271.webp



"The chaos of upheaval can create opportunity. Take the dawning EV revolution, which has already seen a startup car company rocket past century-old competitors to become the most valuable automaker on earth. In the latest upset, a Korean brand best known for low prices, long warranties, and liberal financing has created a machine with performance that rivals the most revered Germans.


In nomenclature, the difference between the Kia EV6 GT and the lesser EV6 GT-Line models is slight. That Kia denotes the top-performing version of its mid-size EV by reducing rather than adding to the nameplate is something of an undersell, but the GT's hardware shows the intensity of this effort.

The headline achievement is the powertrain. Other dual-motor, all-wheel-drive EV6 models serve up 320 total horsepower; the GT, presumably after downing a can of spinach, is bursting with 576 horses. A new GT mode affords access to the entire thundering herd. Normal and Sport modes limit output to 460 horsepower, and Eco cuts it to 288. The full hit of torque, which has climbed from 446 pound-feet in the all-wheel-drive GT-Line to 545, is always available.


In our testing, the 320-hp EV6 GT-Line hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, but the GT made the leap in 3.2. Let that sink in: 3.2 seconds to 60. In a Kia. It also dispatched the quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds at 119 mph. The top speed is a claimed 161 mph. Clearly, this isn't your cheapskate uncle's Spectra.

2023-kia-ev6-gt-001-1669747415.webp



You know what else laid down a 3.2-second 60-mph time? The Audi RS Q8. As for other EVs, the Kia vaults past the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance (60 mph in 3.7 seconds, quarter-mile in 12.7 at 101 mph) to sit at the head of the table with the Porsche Taycan 4S (60 mph in 3.4 seconds, quarter-mile in 11.7 at 120 mph) and the BMW i4 M50 (60 mph in 3.3 seconds, quarter-mile in 11.7 at 120 mph).

When you dial up full powertrain strength, mashing the right pedal brings a blurring of the scenery that feels like it should come with streaks of light and Chewbacca's roar. Instead of hearing "Take us to lightspeed, Chewie," you'll notice a vaguely futuristic electric-motor sound—turns out the noise is yet another configurable element. Three audio themes offer customization for volume and quickness of rising pitch. Stylish might be more aptly described as spacey, Cyber is a shriller version of Stylish, and Dynamic is like the ominous rumble when the spaceship heads toward the evil planet.
