Ignition FULL EPISODE | 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk: A 707-Horsepower Jeep???—Episode 191

On this episode of Ignition presented by Tire Rack, hosts Jethro Bovingdon and Jonny Lieberman take a long, strange look at one of the automotive world’s biggest oddities: the Hellcat-powered Jeep Trackhawk. On the one hand, the crazy SUV is more powerful than many supercars. But on the other, what’s the point of a Jeep that can’t go off-road? Or, as is the case with this episode, on-road, either. Bovingdon and Lieberman decide to see what’s in a name, and put the Trackhawk through its paces on both the dragstrip and the racetrack. With a little help from their pal and pro driver Randy Pobst, of course. What do they make of the nearly hundred-thousand-dollar Jeep? Watch and find out!

Hot Hatch Battle! 2019 Honda Civic Type R vs. 2020 Hyundai Veloster N—Head 2 Head Preview Ep. 116

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jonny Lieberman and Jethro Bovingdon check out the current state of the hot hatch art. The Honda Civic Type R knocked the front-wheel-drive performance car world on its ear when it debuted a couple years back. How could anything with undriven rear wheels handle and perform so well? Enter the Hyundai Veloster N, which starts at less than $30,000. On paper at least, the baby blue N should give the renowned Honda a run for its money. Bovingdon and Lieberman put both the 2019 Honda and 2020 Hyundai through rigorous Randy Pobst racetrack lapping, as well as canyon road testing. Unable to pick a winner, the boys decide that the ultimate test involves unbridled hooliganism, police chases, and fire. Lots of fire. Which hot hatch is best? Watch and find out!

2019 Overland Adventure East presented by TireRack.com Day 4—Onward to the Expo

Watch this short recap of Day 4 of 2019 Overland Adventure East! The day's task was to exit Twin Mountain Off Road, navigate the gravel chicanery that was the local roads, and eventually wind up at Overland Expo East in Arrington, Virginia. Keeping speeds at a safe pace in the dense fog, we wound through tunnels of overarching tree branches bearing signs of early Autumn colors, past ruins of farm buildings, and eventually, after radio communications and fuel stops, rolled into Overland Expo East. #OverlandAdventure19 See more at: http://www.fourwheeler.com/overland-adventure-east/2019/1910-overlandadventure19-2019-tirerack-com-overland-adventure-east-day-3-onward-expo/

2019 Overland Adventure East presented by TireRack.com Day 3—To Twin Mountain

Watch this short recap of Day 3 of 2019 Overland Adventure East! Clear sky in the morning! We departed Carlisle Fairgrounds and pushed south and watched as the hills grew taller as we neared West Virginia. As it goes sometimes on overland journeys, some of our vehicles had mechanical problems, but with the help of fellow participants and our guides, Overland Experts, we were able to get every rig running and back in motion. #OverlandAdventure19 See more at: http://www.fourwheeler.com/overland-adventure-east/2019/1910-overlandadventure19-2019-tirerack-com-overland-adventure-east-day-2-twin-mountain/

Ignition FULL EPISODE | 2018 Lamborghini Huracán Performante: Does It Do the Numbers?—Episode 190

On this episode of Ignition presented by Tire Rack, raging bull apostle Jonny Lieberman sets out to convince doubting Jethro Bovingdon that the wind-cheating Huracán Performante really is as good as Lamborghini says it is. Remember, Lambo showed the world a Nürburgring lap time of 6:52.01, at the time a record-breaking run that was 4.99 seconds quicker than the Porsche 918 Spyder. The plan is of course to hand the Performante over to pro driver Randy Pobst—the man who set the Big Willow lap record of 1:23.54—to see what he can make of the bright green beastie. If the Performante can beat the 918 on Big Willow, then surely it can (and did) do the deed on the ’Ring. However, before they get to the track, Bovingdon and Lieberman have a little driving to do themselves. To summarize, does the Performante do the numbers? Watch and find out!
