Defender Dakar heading to Australia: What the rally-bred V8 4x4 really costs to own

2027 Nissan Frontier Sport Edition product design preview

The 3.8-liter V6 engine in the Nissan Frontier comes with the confidence that it has proven to be capable of handling extreme conditions without breaking a sweat. Specialists at Nissan's Decherd Powertrain Assembly Plant in Tennessee randomly select engines off the line and run them through punishing tests in dynamometer chambers, checking every part for wear and imperfections to ensure the engines will hold up to rugged use for years to come. Think of a dynamometer, or dyno, like a treadmill for a truck engine; it allows technicians to run the engine through extreme scenarios while mounted to test equipment inside a lab. These stress tests are specifically designed to check the assembly process is up to spec and help ensure the engine will deliver both the power and long-term reliability customers want in a midsize truck. To push the limits even further, temperatures are cycled beyond real‑world extremes.

The pickup man: Inside the 400-vehicle Redwood County truck & car collection auction

Tesla Model X Plaid battles the Ferrari SF90 drag race

A Ferrari SF90 Stradale takes on a Tesla Model X Plaid in a series of quarter-mile drag races. The Ferrari produces around 1,000 horsepower, while the Tesla delivers approximately 1,020 horsepower through its tri-motor electric drivetrain. Both cars are capable of running deep into the 9-second range. The SF90 typically records quarter-mile times around 9.6 seconds, while the Model X Plaid runs close to 9.7 seconds. In the first race, the two launch almost side by side and remain extremely close through the run. Reaction time becomes a major factor because there is so little separating their outright performance. The Tesla uses instant electric torque and all-wheel drive to accelerate hard from the start. The Ferrari counters with lower weight and stronger high-speed acceleration. Post-race timing slips show that the margins are razor thin despite the very different vehicle designs. The matchup demonstrates how closely a high-performance electric SUV can compete with one of Ferrari’s quickest hybrid supercars.
