Ineos Grenadier First Test – Old School Cool, Off Road Ready | MotorTrend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-djouUvqQs

The Ineos Grenadier looks a lot like a Defender, there we said it! But look beyond that, and what you’ll find is a charming and capable off-road-ready machine; the question you’ll have to ask yourself is, can you forgive its many old-school quirks, and look past its eye-watering price tag? We took the Grenadier up to Big Bear Mountain, CA, to see how it would handle the winding roads and gnarly trails. Watch along to find out how it did. #Ineos #Grenadier #MotorTrend Full story ➡️: https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2024-ineos-grenadier-trialmaster-first-test-review/ MotorTrend is the ultimate destination for gearheads looking for the latest automotive research and news.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbjFOC6a9Zc

Continuing our hosts’ journey through Cuba, we take our first of a four-part look at the famed kidnapping of Juan Manuel Fangio. A five-time Formula One World Champion by 1958, the Argentine Grand Prix driver arrived at the burgeoning Cuban Grand Prix looking to repeat his previous year’s victory. Fate, however, would have other plans as Fidel Castro and his revolutionary 26th of July movement sought to publicly embarrass Cuba’s President, Fulgencio Batista, by kidnapping the event’s biggest star. In this episode, we take a look at the origins of each character… through song? #motortrend #dinnerwithracers #ContinentalTire MotorTrend is the ultimate destination for gearheads looking for the latest automotive research and news.
