  • 2021 Ford Bronco, 2021 Ram 1500 TRX, Micheal Jordan’s Mercedes: The Week In Reverse

    We took a ride in the 2021 Ford Bronco; the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX was revealed; and Michael Jordan’s Mercedes-Benz S600 is for sale. It’s the Week in Reverse, right here at Motor Authority.

    We slid into the passenger seat of the 2021 Ford Bronco with veteran Ford engineer Dan Shaffer behind the wheel. Schaffer gave us a taste of what the new Bronco is capable of off-road through sand, water, and hills. It was as good as a ride at Six Flags.

    Our spy photography spotted the 2021 Acura MDX testing on public road in production-ready form. The next-generation MDX will look sportier and should bring the Type-S moniker to the family hauler with a twin-turbo V-6. Expect a design like the attractive new TLX sedan.

    Ram finally unveiled a Hellcat-powered pickup. The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX debuted with 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. With 13 inches of suspension travel up front and 14 inches in the rear, Ram claims the TRX can top 100 mph on road or off.

    We drove the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class and found the new generation improves everything except for its front-wheel-drive design. The basis for the small luxury crossover SUV still sets the GLA up to be dynamically compromised, but the interior, technology, and comfort are all worthy of the brand.

    A 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 modified by Lorinser and previously owned by Michael Jordan is for sale on eBay. The listing shows photos of Jordan with the car along with a copy of the original title with Jordan and his wife Juanita as the owners. The built-in car phone cements this car as a 1990s period piece.

  • WILLIAMS F1 TEAM SOLD TO US INVESTORS

    Longstanding Williams F1 team has been sold to US investment firm Dorilton Capital having been on sale since May. Thankfully, the Williams name will remain on the grid. 

    The announcement comes during the same week that all 10 constructors signed the Concorde Agreement, which hopes to bring about a more level playing field in Formula One for years to come.

    Dorilton Capital has also announced that it has no plans to move the traditional base from Grove in Oxfordshire.

    An announcement from Williams said: “This marks the beginning of an exciting new era in the history of Williams, which with its new owner, is well positioned to capitalise upon the sweeping rule changes coming into Formula One with the new Concorde Agreement.”

    Williams F1 has been a part of the grid since 1977 and has taken nine constructors championships and seven world drivers championships in its time, although their last championship came in 1997 with Jacques Villeneuve. Williams hasn’t won an F1 race since 2012.

    Deputy team boss, Claire Williams, said: “This may be the end of an era for Williams as a family owned team, but we know it is in good hands. The sale ensures the team’s survival but most importantly will provide a path to success.”

    Matthew Savage, Dorilton’s chairman, said: “We look forward to working with the Williams team in carrying out a detailed review of the business to determine in which areas new investment should be directed.”
