Often overshadowed by horsepower, torque defines the strength and character of engines and electric motors. Torque is the unsung hero of engine specifications, and we talk about it often. But does it ...

Torque vectoring is an electronically controlled system that improves vehicle traction, cornering capabilities, and overall stability by allotting specific power delivery to individual wheels. It is ...

As new cars become more sophisticated — and expensive — they are loaded with the latest technology that too often sounds like engineering shorthand. It is confusing at best, and intimidating every ...

The 2019 Ram 1500 that was announced during the Detroit auto show hit us with a goodie bag full of improvements: lighter overall weight (by 225 pounds) stronger frame, lower coefficient of drag, ...

The torque wrench is probably the most often-used specialty tool. If you’re like us, you may still have your first torque wrench; we got our Craftsman ½-inch drive clicker-style as a Christmas present ...
