500 HP Week Heralds New Jalopnik Reviews Format
500 HP Week Heralds New Jalopnik Reviews Format-March 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:17

What seemed an unattainable production car power figure — 500 HP — only a decade ago is now available in sedans to SUVs to luxury convertibles. This week we're only reviewing cars with 500 HP+. Also, a new review format!

Most of you probably fondly remember our three part reviews. In part one we told you a story, part two was an objective breakdown of the car's characteristics and part three was about numbers and buyers. The problem was, the three part, three day format was awkward and required me to show up to work three days in a row. So now we're combining all three parts into one stripped down, more powerful model that puts everything you want to know about a car into a single place.

Also, some other points of note:

● A new never-before-seen rating system featuring an overall score expressed as a percentage based on the total number of stars. It's sort of like the automotive version of Rotten Tomatoes movie scoring. You'll love it. Or you'll be indifferent. Who knows? That's what makes this so exciting!

● New suitability parameters!

● New setup!

● Same silliness!

● Also, compare vehicles against other vehicles in its class.

You can follow along through our tag that's always up on the top of the main page.

For $6,000, Check Out This Deutsch Mark
Today’s Lincoln Mark VII is the ultra rare BMW diesel edition. That saps a lot of the sport out of its sport coupe persona, but will paying its price make you look like a sap? In the 1970s the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) decided to flex their global...

For $9,900, Get That Grand Feeling
I think I can count the number of Buicks I’d like to own on the fingers of one hand. Today’s Grand National is one of those digits, but is its price a middle finger to its buyer? The thought of a twenty-nine year old Lincoln burning oil may not be...

For $2,300, Is This Alfa A Furgone Conclusion?
Today’s Alfa is a Furgone F12. It’s rare but also pretty rusty, so it’ll be up to you to say if it’s too damn far gone for its price. Dat Ass. You know, as far as Alfa’s go it seems the older the better, possibly on the basis of if...
