2025 Land Rover Discovery Off-Road Review
There is the latest land rover discovery Has it lost its heritage and become just another soft-road SUV, or has it retained some of its ancestral off-road DNA? Launched in 2017, the affectionately named Disco 5 no longer carries a numerical suffix like its predecessors, the Discovery 3 and 4. What is tested here is the flagship Discovery D300 Dynamic HSETechnically, this is a 2024 model, as the 2025 model comes with the more powerful D350 turbodiesel engine. I wasn't a fan of the racy, more rounded exterior design from the start, but maybe I'll grow to like it more. That said, it's quintessentially British, elegant and sophisticated. When you put your feet on the ground, there's no doubting the performance of the D300 inline-six diesel.

Royal Enfield Bear 650 first ride review: an off-road machine or
As motocross bikes grow in popularity, manufacturers are scrambling to launch their own competitors. However, you might ask, "What exactly is a scrambler?" Well, before the advent of motocross, ADVs, and dual-sport motorcycles, enthusiasts have been modifying their road bikes to have minimal bodywork , knobby tires, a raised suspension and raised fenders to accommodate off-road racing. The segment flourished in the 1950s and 1960s, with brands such as Triumph and Royal Enfield achieving multiple victories in competitive racing.

Some new Porsche 911 Dakars are being resold for over $300,000, making this $55,000 car look like a bargain go through Brad Anderson 6 hours ago This "unique" 911 Carrera has traveled more than 80,000 miles (approximately 128,000 kilometers). With a raised ride height, all-terrain tires and rally modifications, it stands out from the crowd. Porsche Palm Springs is selling this customized 996-generation 911 Carrera for $54,990.
