It was the kind of car we could drive daily but also take camping without having to worry about getting stuck in a little mud or ...
Mercedes-AMG has taken the wraps off the new M139 version of its transverse 2.0-liter turbocharged cylinder, and the maximum horsepower figure is a mind-bender. It’s 416, or 40 more than stumped up by the M133 engine it replaces. That means the M139 supplants the M133 as the world’s most powerful series-produced four-banger. The 416-hp, 369-lb-ft ...

The Karma Pininfarina GT can pretty much be explained by breaking down its name. For starters, it’s from Karma Automotive, a U.S.-based automaker that takes its name from the car it purchased from now-defunct Fisker Automotive.
