GMC Launches 2017 Sierra HD All Terrain X Paired With All-New Duramax Diesel


Joining the likes of the Canyon and Sierra 1500 this fall as the third model in GMC's limited-edition All Terrain X series, the Sierra HD All Terrain X is said to be the most off-road-capable truck in the Sierra HD lineup.

Aside from its 6.0-liter petrol-powered V8, the Sierra 2500HD crew cab 4WD will also be available with the all-new next-generation Duramax 6.6-liter V8 turbo-diesel, sending 445 HP (332 kW) and 910 lb-ft (1,234 Nm) to all four wheels.

"The new Sierra HD All Terrain X's powerful attitude reflects a popular trend in very capable off-road trucks, executed with a range-topping level of refinement — a combination of attributes GMC has cultivated for years," said Duncan Aldred, VP of GMC sales & marketing. "And with the new, available Duramax 6.6L, this truck more than matches its bold good looks with true professional-grade capability."

Visually, the All Terrain X stands out thanks to its 18" black-painted aluminum wheels, 275/65R18 Goodyear Duratrac MT-rated tires, unique body-color grille surround for the All Terrain insert, body-color door handles and body side moldings, Black power-adjustable heated and power-folding mirrors with integrated turn signals, LED rear guidance lamps and LED amber clearance lamps, black belt moldings, 4" black sport side steps, and a black sport bar mounted in the bed.

 Sierra HD customers will be able to order the new version in either Black Onyx or Summer White, with optional equipment such as a spray-on bedliner, Front & Rear Park Assist, Z71 off-road suspension package, underbody shielding, heated steering wheel and all-weather floor liners also available.

In terms of on-board tech, the 2017 Sierra 2500HD All Terrain X also features GMC IntelliLink with an 8" color touchscreen, Teen Driver, remote-locking tailgate, remote starting system, Rear Vision Camera, adjustable pedals, leather-appointed seats, heated front seats and wireless charging.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
