The purpose-built MORIZO Edition adds even more heat to Toyota’s GR lineup, which includes the performance ready GR Corolla Core Grade, launch-year-only Circuit Edition, as well as GR Supra and GR86. The MORIZO Edition was named for GR Master Driver and Toyota president Akio Toyoda. This track-oriented version of GR Corolla was designed to meet specifications desired by Toyoda himself, with tight handling, a high power-to-weight ratio and a highly rigid body. Only 200 numbered-units will be produced for model year 2023. Like the Core and Circuit Edition, the MORIZO Edition comes in at 300 horsepower, with torque bumped up to 295 lb.-ft. versus the 273 lb.-ft. available in its siblings. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing engineers retuned GR Corolla’s engine for additional power, with peak torque coming in at 3250-4600RPM. The MORIZO edition has an exclusive close ratio intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) and shorter differential gears for satisfying acceleration across the power band.

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

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

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.
