For a day of immersion with the letter Z, Nissan invited Automotive Rhythms to Las Vegas to be entertained by the attributes of the seventh-generation iteration. Of course, Sin City is full of excitement, so what better place to launch a vehicle that equally represents. Basecamp was set up at the Aria Resort where I learned a bit more about the strategy behind the development of the new car and added historical data. The RWD, 400-horsepower, and 350 lb-ft of torque coupe is light on its feet and well-balanced. Nissan borrowed the 3-liter Twin Turbo V6 from INFINITI’s Red Sport and the 9-speed automatic from the Titan pickup since it can handle higher torque thresholds. As a result, horsepower is up 20%, and torque increases 30% from the prior generation. Full review & specs = www.AutomotiveRhythms.com

To understand the meteoric rise of a brand or product, you must first delve into its storied history and foundation for cultural relevance, philosophies, or architecture that defines its journey. Since 1969, the Nissan Z has cultivated enduring influence and automotive fandom, which continues to reach global zeniths with no apparent decrease in momentum within the near future. Enter the 2023 Z which marks a confluence of traits that pay homage to the venerable sports car’s heritage, such as design interpretations from the 240Z and Z32 and updated performance capabilities to manifest scintillating euphoria for the controller of the wheel.

Another weekend of empowerment as BAMG (Black Automotive Media Group) concluded our automotive internship with HBCU students from Howard University and the Ford Motor Company. Over the last three months the program achieved its goals by offering the interns multimedia and marketing opportunities that traditionally do not cross their paths. We met at Sankofa Café and Bookstore in DC (across from campus) to showcase the all-electric Mustang Mach-e and the adventurous Bronco Sport SUV. Wow, how excited and inquisitive they were. Let’s continue making a difference my brothers and sisters. One Love! For more info visit www.AutomotiveRhythms.com

Wow, what a spectacular time Automotive Rhythms had in Austin putting the all-new 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) through various driving activities to observe its updated capabilities on and off-road.

The goal for the brand is to reach a sustainability target of zero-emission 4xe Jeeps in every utility segment by 2025.

The fascination of the HUMMER EV resides in its performance. Imagine a 9,000-lb electric truck blessed with a whopping 1,000-horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of wheel torque (1,200 lb-ft of motor torque) from the three-motor e4WD system with torque vectoring. Now envision that exact vehicle smoking most sports cars (without the smoke) utilizing its Tyreek Hill 0-60 mph sprint time of 3 seconds.

The HUMMER EV SUT is an outstanding rock crawler and can hang with the best, whether it's a Jeep Wrangler or a Land Rover. GMC partnered with Goodyear for the truck's standard 35" Wrangler Territory MT (Maximum Traction) tire with an open tread design to help clear out mud. An optional 37” is available from either BF Goodrich or Goodyear. Owners can view the wheels and terrain from an app and UltraVision’s 18 camera angles, including two underbody views to ensure the HUMMER is taking the proper lines off-road. Underbody armory stems from five skid plates and rock sliders for a complete cover. Additional confidence manifests from Terrain Mode, 16" total ground clearance, a 50-degree approach angle, an electric locking differential and rear virtual locking differential, and Air Down Mode to lower tire pressure for better traction. Then you have Extract Mode, which raises the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension another 5.8” to help the truck walk over obstructions or climb out of dicey situations unimpeded. It can also swim through 32” of water. We ascended rocky hills during our desert excursion, bolted through dusty trails, and crawled back down with ease.

When you set the HUMMER EV in "Watts to Freedom" mode it will smoke (without the smoke) most sports cars. It rips 0-60 as fast as Tyreek Hill scores TDs. Three seconds to be exact. Akin to Launch Control, Watts to Freedom lowers the EV 3.5" and pins passengers to their seats upon take off.

The electric drivetrain of the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 consists of a new 400 Volt Lithium-Ion battery with a 107.8 kW capacity, AMG tuned battery management, and two (front and rear) permanently excited synchronous electric motors. Together they put out a total of 649-horsepower or 751-horsepower when boosting with RACE START from the AMG Dynamic Plus Package. When you hit the accelerator, the vehicle moves efficiently at an accelerated rate. It sprints 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds normally and 3.4 seconds with Race Start, which is similar to Launch Control. Expect roughly 277 miles of range. Fully-variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive keeps the vehicle on top of its ground game and 9-degree Rear Axle Steering helps with maneuverability. Various driving modes can be chosen through AMG DYNAMIC SELECT and include Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual driving modes.
