EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers several significant automotive news items, with the 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor reveal taking center stage. The reviewer highlights that the Raptor will indeed come to North America, though a year out. Power figures are detailed, noting it will receive less horsepower than its Bronco Raptor sibling, with different tuning for European markets. Key features like the 10-speed automatic, four-mode exhaust, anti-lag system, and Fox Live Valve shocks are mentioned. The interior is described as sporty with a 12-inch touchscreen and digital gauges. The segment also delves into Toyota and Yamaha's new hydrogen V8 engine, based on a Lexus V8, producing 455 horsepower. While promising for internal combustion engine enthusiasts and carbon neutrality efforts, the reviewer points out the significant challenge of enormous hydrogen tank packaging, questioning its practicality for production vehicles and suggesting it might be better suited for racing. Other news includes leaks of the Ferrari Purosangue and Dodge Hornet, patent images for the 2023 Honda CR-V, confirmation of the Acura ILX's discontinuation, a Mazda CX-60 interior teaser, a DeLorean debut date, a Volvo S60 Black Edition, range improvements for the Mustang Mach-E and VW ID.4, Faraday Future FF91 entering pre-production, Fisker Project PEAR tease, and a Hyundai patent for a sliding tailgate.
