EVEN BETTER FOR US, JUST RETURNED FROM DRIVING * Greg Carloss: ONE OF THE MOST I HEAR ABOUT MODERN CARS IS THAT INSTEAD OF EXTENSIONS OF NEW VEHICLES TEND TO BE SOULLESS SIMPLY TAKING US FROM A TO B, IS THEIR TRUE PURPOSE.

BUT AS A CAR ENTHUSIAST, MAYBE A BIT WILD.

[ENGINE REVVING SOUND] I NEED A CAR THAT TAKES ME FROM MAYBE EVEN Z.

THE 2018 PORSCHE 911 GT3 CHECKS AND A WEEKEND IN GRANADA, SPAIN TO EXPERIENCE A TRUE, [ENGINE REVVING SOUND] SLICING THROUGH THE SPANISH THE GT3 FEELS AT HOME EVEN FOR THE RACETRACK.

DERIVED FROM THE 911 R, MECHANICAL FEEL MAKING IT OR THE STREET.

ON THE RIDE TO CIRCUITO GUADIX I PASSED THROUGH THE NARROW WHERE THE RACING YELLOW GT3 TOOK QUICKLY BECOMING THE CENTER OF RIGHT THROUGH THE THICK AFTER SUCH A WARM WELCOME, HOW COULD I KEEP EVENTUALLY, AND HEAD TO THE GT3s NATURAL I'VE DRIVEN PLENTY OF CARS AND THIS ONE IS JUST ONE OF IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.

THERE'S JUST A TON OF GRIP.

CLEARLY IT JUST REVS FOREVER.

SUPER FLAT THROUGH CORNERS; YOU AND IT JUST SOUNDS PHENOMENAL.

I MEAN LISTEN TO THAT...

FRONT AND REAR FASCIAS ARE LARGER INTAKES AND NEW LATERAL FOR IMPROVED COOLING.

MOUNTED ABOVE DUAL AIR SCOOPS, REACHES THREE QUARTERS OF INCREASING DOWNFORCE BY 20% THE REAR UNDERBODY DIFFUSER.

A STRIPPED-DOWN CABIN MAINTAINS A MINIMALIST STEERING WHEEL AND PORSCHE'S TRACK PRECISION TWO SEATS ARE ALL YOU GET, ADAPTIVE SPORT OR CARBON-FIBER THE ENGINEERS EVEN HAD ENOUGH TO MAKE NEW HINGES FOR ALTHOUGH, IT STILL WEIGHS AT 3,153 POUNDS.

AS MENTIONED BEFORE, HAS BEEN REVISED FOR BETTER 1.5 DEGREES IN THE SAME AS THE FRONT WHEELS DEPENDING ROTATION IS FURTHER AIDED BY TO COMPLEMENT STABILITY WHICH CAN BE TURNED ALLOWING FOR PLENTY OF MY CAR WAS OUTFITTED WITH THE OPTIONAL CERAMIC COMPOSITE WHICH EXCELLED AT HANDLING AS A NEWBIE TO THE COMPACT OF COURSE, ALL THIS PERFORMANCE $144,650 GETS YOU INTO A GT3, A GREAT DEAL MORE FOR THE ANY THE 2018 PORSCHE 911 GT3 IS AN OLD SOUL, OF BEING IN THE HERE AND NOW, LEAVING JUST ONE TOE IN BUT, ARE WE NEARING THE SUMMIT REAR ENGINE 911 MOUNTAIN?

PROBABLY.

FORTUNATELY, WE'RE IN THE PRESENT, STILL EXISTS AND THRIVES.

OUR SUCCESS STORY ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, THE BILTMORE WAS BUILT WITH AN IDEA THAT STILL HOLDS IN 2012, WERE PLANTED ON THE ESTATE.

THE TINY CANOLA SEED IS IT IS SQUEEZED OUT IN AND ALONG WITH THEIR RESTAURANT IS THEN PROCESSED INTO Trip Hudgins: WE TRY TO PROCESS SO OUR MARK IS ABOUT 10,000 John: THE HOME GROWN B20 POWERS AT THE ESTATE.

AND YOU WON'T JUST FIND BUT PROPANE TOO!

WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE LAND OF AND ALLIANCE AUTOGAS, 13 PROPANE POWERED BUSES TO WITH MORE BUSES ON THE WAY.

MOVING THE BILTMORE TOWARDS ENVISIONED SO LONG AGO.

* John: NO MATTER HOW NEW YOUR AND EVEN BE ESSENTIAL.

A NEW COLOR MIGHT BE ALL YOU IT USUALLY INVOLVES LOTS AND WHATEVER IT LOOKED LIKE BUT, OUR OVER THE EDGE GUY HAS FOUND ANOTHER OPTION.

ONE THAT NOT ONLY ALTERS BUT ACTUALLY PROTECTS Zach Maskell: WHETHER, FROM THE MANUFACTURER, OR YOUR SETTLING ON A COLOR IS TOUGH.

I'VE BEEN BUILDING THIS 1992 FEW MONTHS AND SHE'S FINALLY THE ONLY PROBLEM FOR ME IS THAT ON A COLOR.

I WISH I COULD JUST PUT WELL, LUCKY FOR ME, WE HAVE OF PEELABLE PAINT.

WE'VE RECRUITED THE HELP IN OCEANSIDE, NEW YORK, OF SPEED SHAPE SAMPLES... AND NARROW IT DOWN AUTOFLEX IS THE COATING'S NAME NOW WE ENTER THE WORLD OBVIOUSLY, THEY'RE ON THE WILDER THESE HYPERSHIFT PEARLS CHANGE AND ANGLE YOU LOOK AT IT.

KNOWING THAT A WILD LOOK MAY OF A PRICIER CAR THIS CAN OFFER FOR THE TIME BEING.

AND, UNLIKE A VINYL WRAP SO EVEN THOUGH THE GUYS TELL US THE LIFETIME OF THE CAR, YOU WALK UP TO IT, AND YOU LITERALLY IT'S SCRATCH AND FUEL RESISTANT.

YOU CAN BUFF IT, WAX IT, AND IT'S SAID TO REMAIN FLEXIBLE UNLIKE OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO Peter Gjonlekaj: NEW YORK THEY'RE POLAR OPPOSITES.

WITH ROCK CHIPS, SALT, I MEAN IT HOLDS UP WELL.

Zach: JUST LOOK AT THE TOP COAT, OVERNIGHT.

Shawheen Ahouraie: BECAUSE THE FINISH LOOKS A LOT IT NEEDS TO BE SPRAYED IN IT NEEDS TO BE SPRAYED YOU NEED TO HAVE A COMPRESSOR.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT [SPRAYER HISSES] Zach: AUTOFLEX IS COMPARABLE IN Shawheen: WE HAVE OVER HERE NOW THIS IS A COLOR, THAT ONCE THE LIGHT HITS IT, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF THAT'S DESIGNED TO REPLICATE A LOT OF THE POPULAR OEM ARE OFFERING NOWADAYS.

Zach: THE PEARL, CAN MAKE ANY STANDARD COLOR OF COURSE YOU CAN GO WATERMELON JUICE, THAT REPLICATES BOASTING MUCH DEPTH AND COLOR.

OUR DECISION WAS MADE, AT A STATUS COATINGS.

Anthony Postiglione: A LOT OF IT'S NOT PAINT.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK OR AH, YOU KNOW,SOMETIMES BUT...YOU KNOW, Zach: FOR CARS WITH AN PREP IS FAIRLY SIMPLE.

Anthony: WORST CASE SCENARIO A LOT OF THE TIMES WE GET AWAY ALCOHOL BATH, GIVE IT A, AND WE'RE READY TO SPRAY.

ALRIGHT WE'RE READY TO GO.

Zach: THE FIRST TWO THAT KEEPS OUT AND MAKES IT EASIER TO PEEL.

THEN FIVE COATS OF THE BROWN WE THEN MOVED ON TO TWO COATS WHILE ADDING A COUPLE MAKING OUR CUSTOM AND OF COURSE, THE HIGH GLOSS DID I MENTION WHEELS WE LET ALL THIS CURE, AND PUT A DRIFT EVENT.

MY FRONT BUMPER WAS SACRIFICED BUT LOOK HOW WELL IT HELD UP SO FAR, IT'S THE REAL DEAL AND NOT A SINGLE PERSON GUESSED BUT PEELABLE PAINT AT THAT.

[TIRES SCREECHING] PAT GOSS ALWAYS HAS THE SMART SO LET'S SEE THIS WEEK'S Pat Goss: SINCE 1975, VIRTUALLY ALL CARS HAVE HAD NOW, EXACTLY WHAT IS WELL, IT'S A DEVICE IN WITH THE EXHAUST COMING OUT OF MAKES IT A LOT MORE ALRIGHT NOW, TODAY CARS HAVE WELL, PRETTY MUCH LIKE AND IF WE TAKE ONE OF THEM APART LIKE WE HAVE HERE.

INSIDE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CERAMIC MATERIAL.

AND HERE WE HAVE ONE THAT THIS IS A ROUND ONE.

AND IN THIS ONE, LITTLE HOLES THAT GO ALL THE WAY AND THAT "CERAMIC" IS BECAUSE CERAMIC IF YOU AND YOU MAKE A POWDER WELL, IT IS HIGHLY ABRASIVE.

NOW, HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN GET LATE MODEL CARS: YOU TAKE IT SOME PLACE, AND YOU HAVE A CATALYTIC WELL, THAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER THE CONVERTERS IS GOING BAD.

NOW, IF THAT CONVERTER HAPPENS THIS IS A PRE-CAT, MANIFOLD OF THE CAR.

BUILT RIGHT INTO IT.

NOW THAT MEANS THAT THIS MEDIUM IS ONLY AN INCH OR SO AWAY FROM NOW LET'S SAY IT STARTS TO BREAK UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, WHAT'S CALLED A LOT OF VALVE THAT MEANS THAT SOME OF THIS CAN SO AS THE CONVERTER GOES BAD, CERAMIC POWDER, GETS SUCKED BACK AND THAT MEANS PROBLEMS FOR AND THE VALVES.

BOTTOM LINE COULD BE SO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS: IF YOU HAVE A CATALYTIC A CODE, IF YOUR CAR HAS ONE OF THESE RIGHT UP AT THE EXHAUST GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY.

AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION DROP ME A LINE, WE'RE ALWAYS UP FOR A FIRST SO COME ALONG FOR A QUICKSPIN.

THE 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO ZR2 PICKUP TRUCK THAT'S CLEARLY DESIGNED TO GO OFF THE BEATEN CHEVY'S ZR2 BADGE DATES BACK TO S-10 PICK-UPS AND BLAZERS.

FIRST SEEN IN CONCEPT FORM AT THERE ARE NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCES THE ZR2 RIDES 2.0 INCHES HIGHER, FRONT AND REAR TRACKS.

YOU EXPECT A LOT OF ROAD WITH ALL-TERRAIN TIRES, QUIET INSIDE.

PLUS, WHILE IT'S DESIGNED FOR THE ON-ROAD RIDE WAS QUITE GRILLE AND HOOD ARE UNIQUE TO WITH SKID PLATES FOR AND TRANSFER CASE.

EVEN THE BUMPERS ARE MODIFIED AROUND OBSTACLES.

WE WERE AMONG THE FIRST TO TAKE NEAR GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO.

Zach: IT'S ALREADY VERY THIS IS OUT HERE.

I MEAN...OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN THAT, IN THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE, * John: STANDARD POWER IS WITH 308 HORSEPOWER, AND AN 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC.

BUT, THE OPTIONAL 2.8 LITER PUSHES TORQUE TO 369 POUND-FEET ALL THROUGH A 6-SPEED AUTO.

STANDARD TOO ARE AND REAR DIFFERENTIALS, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME DAMPER TECHNOLOGY IS BEING USED THAT COUPLED WITH WHAT STEERING, MADE THIS A BLAST THE 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO ZR2 $41,000.

SO, STAY TUNED FOR MORE OUR INFATUATION WITH WELL DOCUMENTED, HAVING "BEST OF THE YEAR" IN 2016.

INDEED, IT WAS THE MOST SO, HOW DOES VOLVO FOLLOW WELL, WITH THIS ALL-NEW LET'S FIND OUT IF THE SWEDES * THE 2017 VOLVO S90 LUXURY SEDAN TO EMERGE FROM THE WHILE THEIR CURRENT FLAGSHIP THE S90 IS CLOSER IN SIZE TO THE THAN TO THE FULL-SIZE S-CLASS; ABOUT 2.0 INCHES SHORTER THAN THE XC90 CROSSOVER THAT IT YET, OVERHANGS ARE FAIRLY LONG, APPEARANCE.

SO, WE DON'T SEE THE S90 THE LIKES OF BMW 5-SERIES, IT'S NOT THAT IT'S MORE ALTHOUGH IT IS; IT'S MORE JUST THAT YOU GET BEHIND THE WHEEL THAT YOU WON'T FIND IN LIKEWISE, ITS EXTERIOR DESIGN IS OVER THE TOP OR SHOWY.

MANY OF THE XC90s STYLING CUES INCLUDING THE THOR'S HAMMER BUT IT'S CLEARLY MORE THE CHINESE SOURCED ENGINE IS IN THE XC90, BUT THERE ARE THE 250 HORSEPOWER TURBO IS FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE T5s, THAT IS BOTH SUPERCHARGED 295 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE IS FOUND IN THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE AND FINALLY, A SUPERCHARGED PLUG-IN T8 IS SCHEDULED THE 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC WITH A GENTLER ASIAN-LUXURY FEEL SUPPLIED UNITS IN MANY HOWEVER YOU BOOST IT, AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE WAITING FOR TO KICK IN FULL, A GOOD PUSH AND KEPT THE POWER THE STRAIGHTS.

5.6 SECONDS FOR THE 0-60; 14.1 FOR THE QUARTER MILE THE SUSPENSION IS A RECONFIGURED THOUGH, ITS AIR SUSPENSION ONLY FOR THE REAR AXLE.

THERE ARE DRIVING MODES AND STEERING REALLY TIGHTENS UP IT FEELS HEAVIER THAN, MORE SPORT-ORIENTED MIDSIZE BUT ONCE THINGS SETTLE IN YOU GET A TON OF GRIP FOR FASTER THAN WE WERE EXPECTING.

112 FEET WAS OUR AVERAGE WITH NOTHING BUT A SOLID, ACCOMPANYING EVERY RUN.

STATE OF THE ART SAFETY EVEN SEMI-AUTONOMOUS DRIVING.

THAT'S NOTHING NEW THESE DAYS, TO HAVE ITS VERSION, AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT.

PILOT ASSIST CAN GET A BIT AND WORKS BEST ON SLOW COMMUTES, IT'S CLEARLY NOT DESIGNED FOR THE WHEEL AND ZONE OUT, TO SAVE YOU FROM AN IMPENDING THE FORWARD CAMERA DOES A GREAT AND MARKINGS, BUT WITH NO AUTO WE DID NOT FEEL IT'S AS ADVANCED OR TESLA'S AUTOPILOT.

WHERE THE S90 REALLY SETS ITSELF THE INTERIOR.

WITH SWEDISH-MODERN LUXURY AND WITH THE BEST BENZ HAS TO OFFER.

THERE'S SOMETHING FOR JUST ABOUT SUPPLE LEATHER FOR YOUR HANDS WALNUT WOOD FOR YOUR EYES 19 SPEAKERS DELIVERING BOWERS TO YOUR EARS, AND YES, AND IT'S ALL VERY TASTEFUL.

VOLVO'S SENSUS TOUCHSCREEN GIVES CONTROLLING A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS REAR SEAT ROOM IS AMPLE, WITH 17.7 CUBIC-FEET OF SO, IS IT ALL ENOUGH TO ATTRACT MASS AMOUNTS OF LUXURY CAR WELL, IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE THOSE SPORT-LUXURY CAR EXPERIENCE BUT THEY'LL SURELY TAKE NOTICE ALONGSIDE THEM.

MUCH LIKE THE XC90, PRICING STARTING AT $47,945, WITH EVEN THE 2017 VOLVO S90 IS HAPPILY, IT STOPS SHORT OF BUT RATHER, EMBRACING PAMPERING ON THE WHOLE, A VERY WELL THAT SIGNALS MORE GOOD THINGS WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW, FOR MORE MOTORWEEK ; PODCASTS, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US WHEN WE MAKE THE TOUGH CHOICES AS OUR "DRIVERS' CHOICE".
