Volvo’s electric strategy is to offer electric variants of vehicles that are also sold with internal combustion engines,

a) the Super Snake starts at like $125k and utilizes mostly off the shelf parts you can have a reputable shop put on for a fraction of the cost of a Super Snake.

Still partial to the Chevy C1500 454 SS myself  🤷🏻‍♂️

Lightning came first and they are fantastic. The Ram is cooler though with the V10 and six speed. Off to craigslist!

Don’t forget the fact that Mahindra actually has the license to the original Willys Jeep and has had that license for a long long time

Look, I get it, FCA has to protect their trademark. No doubt about that. What gets me though is how this isn’t even tarnishing the brand and is meant to be driven off road. It is essentially a front-engined SXS. I would gladly buy this over a Polaris RZR or any other popular SXS.

I was gonna comment “looks as big as the AMC 4.0 in the my XJ!” And then I realized yep, that’s why straight 6ers aren’t super popular packaging even though they run great. Not much you can do to make em any smaller for a given displacement.

Barra in a Z

That’s the biggest detail people miss when complaining about LS swaps, part of the whole reason is that the LS will fit pretty much anywhere a 4-cylinder will. It’s why the sbf was a common swap in Miatas before the LS, because it too was dimensionally small.

This is the problem with the Barra:

And a 2JZ’s a lot easier to build/support.

“I like people going through the extra effort to swap weird and unusual motors.”

This is the problem with these takes though. YOU aren’t paying for that swap. YOU aren’t living with that swap. YOU aren’t having to deal with the integration hassles of that swap. Everyone wants someone else to foot the bill to put an…

You’re looking for facts and accuracy on Jalopnik?

“Oh good, a GM product that can sit and spin.”

I can’t wait for the thing to drop all the airbags when it catches a loose rock or a rut and wobbles a bit mid maneuver. 

The LFA engine sounds better. I love the Voodoo and the Coyote engine. The Coyote does things that the LS does with considerably less displacement, and sounds WAY better, IMO. But that wail from the Lexus V10 cannot be beat.

Nah, Sorry.

Although a good drivetrain, it’s a motor, not an engine.

As much as I love my car’s S65 engine, it’s actually from the previous decade.
