Lamborghini Revuelto at Auto Shanghai 2023

April 20, 2023April 20, 2023

The Lamborghini Revuelto Debuts At The 2023 Auto Shanghai

April 20, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Huracan Tecnica and Urus Performante are in the limelight alongside the electric supercar.

Nowadays, there aren’t many significant auto shows, but China is still a thriving market, thus Auto Shanghai is a fantastic venue for manufacturers to display their newest models. The Revuleto, Lamborghini’s much anticipated Aventador successor, will be on display during the event.

The Urus Performante and Huracan Tecnica join the V12 plug-in hybrid supercar, and a Urus S is displayed in a special Ad Persona chamber for custom builds.

The Revuelto is painted in a brilliant orange colour, just like in the official photos. If you don’t like that, there are no fewer than seven colour groups available in the configurator, which is currently operational.

In Shanghai, the electric Sant’Agata Bolognese vehicle with 1,001 horsepower is making its Asia Pacific premiere. Being at the exhibition with the “High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV)” makes sense given that China is Lamborghini’s second-largest single market.

As Revuelto will be followed by a few other hybrids, it marks the start of a new phase for the raging bull. In 2024, when the Huracan replacement will also be unveiled with an electrified engine, Lamborghini has already announced a Urus PHEV. The fleet will expand to include a fourth car around 2028—a 2+2 grand tourer that is entirely electric.

In the interim, we anticipate that Lamborghini will use the same method for the long-running Aventador by producing a number of versions of the Revuelto. It is reasonable to assume that the roadster will be the next addition to the supercar family, and it probably won’t be long until the Italian exotic label does so.

In a recent interview, CEO Stephan Winkelmann predicted that despite stricter emissions rules, the new supercar will still be around in 2030. It will be made possible by hybridising the V12, and the Huracan replacement’s hybrid drivetrain will make it viable as well. The second version of the Urus hyper SUV will be an EV.

For Its Next Models, Ferrari Will Use Samsung OLED Technology

April 16, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Italian supercar manufacturer desires to outsource the creation of non-essential components.

Samsung is most likely best recognised for its smart devices, which include LCD and LED panels, cell phones and tablets, TVs, digital movie theatre screens, computers, and many more items.

However, aside from the consumer technology sector, Samsung works on a wide range of other initiatives and is actually one of the largest component suppliers to the automobile sector, including infotainment systems, telematics, and sophisticated driver-assistance system parts. The South Korean business has partnered with a well-known carmaker for its latest venture.

In order to provide OLED technology for new display options that will be used in next production models from the Maranello-based company, Samsung and Ferrari inked a Memorandum of Understanding.

Benedetto Vigna, the CEO of Ferrari, and JS Choi, the president and CEO of Samsung Display, inked the agreement during a formal ceremony at Samsung Display’s Asan facility in Korea.

Elevating the client’s experience is crucial in the premium industry, Vigna said during the ceremony. “We will advance significantly in the digital environment of our next-generation models through this strategic partnership with Samsung Display for the dedicated development of bespoke OLED technology display solutions,” the company said.

There is no more information provided by the two parties on the new arrangement, and no financial information is presently available. Prior to now, Ferrari stated that as it puts more money into electrification and new powertrains, it would begin employing outside suppliers for non-essential parts or software.

The pinnacle of this new approach should occur in the middle of this decade when the supercar manufacturer introduces its first battery-powered production model.

The CEO of Samsung Display stated, “Based on our considerable knowledge in OLED technology, we are set to provide cutting-edge display solutions that satisfy Ferrari’s high requirements.

“We are confident that our partnership with Ferrari will present a dynamic opportunity to apply our strengths to the supercar field and strengthen our position in the automotive OLED market, enabling us to achieve ever greater heights.”

Chinese Luxury Minivan Denza D9 Costs $65,000 & 400 HP Power

April 11, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

In the past, the minivan market in the US and Europe had significant popularity. While there are still some respectable MPV options available on both sides of the Atlantic, the selection is often limited.

However, that is not the situation in China, where big, boxy people movers are now gaining popularity and several domestic and international manufacturers are producing new versions. The Denza D9, which is offered with plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains, is one of the newest participants.

Let’s begin with the name of the brand. Denza is a joint company that BYD and the Mercedes-Benz Group hold equally and that creates high-end automobiles for the People’s Republic. The majority of the company’s earlier products had the feel of rebadged BYDs (a popular Chinese brand), but Denza upped the ante with this new offering. China introduced the D9 last year.

Denza provides the opulent minivan with a choice of three different plug-in hybrid powertrains based on the battery and motor to further complicate matters. The model seen in the page’s opening video is the top-of-the-line model, with a maximum output of 502 pound-feet (681 Newton metres) of torque and 401 horsepower (299 kilowatts) at its peak. These are impressive stats for a nondescript minivan. Up to 112 miles (180 kilometres) may be covered on pure electric power, and curiously for a plug-in hybrid, DC charging is possible with up to 80 kilowatts of power, which isn’t very frequently.

The D9’s cabin may be its most remarkable feature. The Chinese minivan has a total of seven screens: three in the front, two in the front seatbacks for the back seats, and two in the second-row armrests. Although we may not have preferred the capacity touch buttons on the centre console, the quality and material choices around the interior are excellent. All of this isn’t cheap, though; the top-of-the-line vehicle in question costs around $65,000 in China, which is about what Jeep is asking for the flagship Grand Cherokee L in the US, for instance.

Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance Edition 1 Releases With Exorbitant Price

April 11, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Mercedes-AMG S63 will continue to use its powerful V8 engine for at least another generation, much to the pleasure of aficionados. We regrettably can’t claim the same with the C63 because it has been downgraded to a four-banger.

Both super sedans are now plug-in hybrids, and the larger of the two is already receiving a unique variant called the Edition 1 that will only be available for a short period of time.

It Features Extra Delights Both Inside And Out And Is Only Available For A Brief Period Of Time

The electrified S63, which is advertised as being fully equipped, has a Manufacture alpine grey uni exterior and is fitted with a set of cross-spoke 21-inch AMG forged wheels.

Additionally, it includes the AMG external Night Package, which adds external highlights in high-gloss black or dark chrome. Other amenities include tinted glass, red brake calipers, and a silver-chrome gasoline filler lid with the AMG insignia.

Mercedes has not yet revealed inside photos, but the Edition 1 includes black Nappa leather seats with red seams that contrast with the black. The sporty steering wheel is also covered in Nappa leather.

The inside of the special edition features a black and red color scheme throughout, and it has a distinctive Edition 1 badge carved in the console as well as an illuminated red AMG emblem on the door sills.

Mercedes will also provide an indoor vehicle cover with a permeable outer layer as a bonus. Scratches and dust shouldn’t be an issue because it is made of a tear-resistant synthetic fabric and has an anti-static woven flannel lining inside.

Price? That amounts to exactly €208,392.80 on the domestic market for the vehicle. It amounts to little more than $228,300 at the current exchange rate, but keep in mind that Germany has a 19 percent VAT. Local deliveries are expected to start the following month.

By buying the V12-powered Maybach S680 4Matic for an eye-watering €230.556.55, German customers may pay even more for an S-Class. With a range-topping price of $229,000 before extras, it is significantly more accessible but still not inexpensive in the US.

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 Wins Two More Awards In Addition To The 2023 World Car Of The Year Title

April 7, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Ioniq 6 won the World Car of the Year Award for 2023, becoming Hyundai the first automaker to do it twice in a succession. It was won in 2022 by the Ioniq 5 together with two other categories. The World Car Design of the Year and World Electric Vehicle Awards went to the Ioniq 6 once more, repeating earlier victories.

One of three candidates for the COTY award, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 edged out the Kia Niro and BMW X1/iX1 for the top spot.

Additionally, It Received Awards For Both Car And Electric Vehicle Design

Jaehoon Chang, president and chief executive officer of Hyundai Motor Company, stated, “We are happy to win this distinguished honor two years in a row, which recognizes the amazing skills and unwavering efforts of everyone at Hyundai Motor Company to bring EVs like the Ioniq 6 to market.

The Lucid Air was named the World Luxury Car by the organization, defeating the BMW 7 Series and the Genesis G90 for the title. With more votes than the updated Nissan Z and the all-wheel-drive Toyota GR Corolla with its 300-horsepower 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, the Kia EV6 GT took home the title of World Performance Car.

The Kia has 576 horsepower available and can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The Citroen C3 won the World Urban Car Award after competing against the Volkswagen Taigo/Nivus and the ORA Funky Cat/Haomao.

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Interior:

Hyundai won the EV prize over the BMW i7 and Lucid Air. For the design award, it had to compete against the Land Rover Range Rover and the Lucid Air.

The World Car Awards jury this year consisted of 100 worldwide automotive journalists from 32 different nations. To choose this year’s COTY finalists and winner, which will receive trophies made by automotive designer Ian Callum, the jury had to narrow down a list of 30 new vehicles.

This spring, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 will arrive on sale in the US. The range of the EV varies between 270 and 361 miles depending on the motor and battery arrangement. The Hyundai has a single motor that produces 225 horsepower and a twin motor that produces 320 horsepower.

Honda Wins At Red Dot Design Awards

April 4, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Honda received two awards at the 2023 Red Dot Design Awards for the Civic Type R and the new Civic e:HEV vehicles. In addition, it honored winning two more Red Dot Design Awards for its motorcycles, the XL 750 Transalp and the CB750 Hornet.

The Red Dot Design Awards are a coveted distinction recognized for exceptional product design that is aesthetically pleasing, useful, intelligent, and inventive. The victors represent the most recent technological, social, economic, and ecological demands of customers and are chosen by a panel of 50 international experts who test and assess each submission.

Honda’s model CB750 Hornet won a prize for product design. The brand-new motorcycle with the catchy moniker is a sporty naked bike with a new 755cc two-cylinder engine that draws design cues from the previous generation.

The redesigned Hornet is an embodiment of technological beauty with more aggressive lines and angles, according to Honda’s Rome-based design team. The fuel tank, which is modelled after the form of a wasp’s wing and the strength and agility associated with motorcycles in the Streetfighter style, serves as the primary stylistic reference for the Hornet.

The Red Dot judges also awarded the XL750 Trasalp high honor’s. The XL750 Transalp gives the cosy do-it-all crossover to a new generation of motorcyclists, marking the name’s return to Honda’s motorcycle lineup after almost ten years.

It is based on the same 755cc twin-cylinder motor as the Hornet and pays homage to an earlier version, the 1986 XL 600V Transalp, while sporting more contemporary looks. The model’s recognizable “long-legged” posture is still present, giving the daring look for which she is known.

Honda has now received 13 Red Dot Design Awards since 2020, including a “Best of the Best” honor for the Japanese manufacturer in 2020, thanks to its accomplishments this year.

At The Bangkok Auto Show, Honda Debuts The Super Cub C125 Disney Edition

April 4, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Disney Brothers Cartoon Company was established on October 16, 1923, by siblings Walt and Roy Disney. The House of Mouse has revolutionized amusement over the past 100 years with characters like Mickey Mouse, Marvel, Cinderella, and Star Wars. The Walt Disney Company will host special activities and displays all year long to recognize that enduring influence.

The Limited-Edition Version Honours Disney’s 100th Birthday

The company collaborated with Honda and Cub House Thailand to showcase the Super Cub C125 Disney Limited Edition at the 2023 Bangkok Motor Show in addition to the special festivities.

The Cub is the perfect partner for the Mouse, as famously advertised in Big Red’s legendary “You Meet the Nicest Persons on a Honda” promotion. With its ageless aesthetics, Cub House only elevates that ideal combination.

The limited-edition Super Cub is modest and striking, sporting satin black finish and chrome-coated parts. The otherwise monochromatic color scheme is given a color boost by a red saddle, and Disney 100 emblems decorating the side covers celebrate the company’s centenary.

A Mickey Mouse logo is used as additional credit on the underbone frame. Honda puts the Mickey silhouette emblem and the Super Cub moniker side by side on the chrome-coated leg shields at the front. Only 100 C125 Disney Edition devices with numbered badges will be sold by Team Red and Cub House.

Retail price for the 100th jubilee Super Cub is 116,400 Baht, or about $3,405 USD. It also includes a special cooperation jacket. Dedicated Disney aficionados can even spend 197,900 Baht ($5,790 USD) for the C125 Disney set, which includes a unique metal Mickey Mouse figurine. To put things in perspective, the basic 2023 Honda Super Cub 125 sells for 89,600 Baht (approximately $2,620 USD) in Thailand.

Over the past century, The Walt Disney Company has had a significant impact on amusement and society around the world. The Super Cub C125 Limited Edition only honors that significant achievement in traditional Disney style.

Benelli Launched The New Tornado 402 Sport bike

April 3, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The legendary Italian motorbike company Benelli has been controlled by the Chinese conglomerate Qianjiang since 2005. Even though some of Benelli’s design and development work is still carried out in Pesaro, Italy, it is well known that only a select few versions receive this distinction. However, Qianjiang’s facility in China is where the remainder of Benelli’s bikes, including the recently revealed Tornado 402, are designed and produced.

A brand-new motor and an integrated dash cam are two notable technological characteristics

Benelli’s Tornado brand has long been associated with athletic models. As was to be expected, the new Tornado 402 is a completely faired motorcycle with clip-on handles.

However, it is important to note that this sport bike’s 400cc engine capacity is significant given that it will be offered primarily in nations where 400cc motorcycles are already regarded as premium choices or in regions where licensing requirements for bikes with bigger engines are stricter. Having said that, you can expect to find this cycle in China as well as some regions of Europe.

Since Benelli hadn’t previously used one, it would have made sense for them to adapt an established 400cc twin engine from Qianjiang or QJ Motor. On the other hand, the Tornado 402 version appears to have a brand-new motor.

At 10,000 rpm, the motor generates 48 horsepower, exceeding the category A2 power limit in Europe. At 9,000 rpm, the 400 series QJ twin engine with the most output presently on the market produces 41.5 horsepower. It’s not obvious if this new two-cylinder motor is a co-rotating parallel twin with a zero-degree crankshaft like Benelli’s 500cc versions.

An extraordinary feature of the Tornado 402’s frame is an aluminium single-sided swingarm with a lower beam that beautifully accents the aluminium back wheel’s polished spoke design. A non-adjustable upside-down telescopic suspension is installed on a tubular steel frame at the front, and Marzocchi provides the adjustable shock absorber.

Nissin is in charge of the stopping system, which features two 300-millimeter front discs, a 250-millimeter back disc, and ABS as standard.

Dash cam integration is a noteworthy technical feature of the new Benelli Tornado 402. This dash monitor, which captures road conditions, is integrated into the windscreen assembly. An app can be used to capture the video to a smartphone, where it is immediately stored. This feature is crucial not only for recording pleasant journeys but also for road safety and security.

The Benelli Tornado 402 will be made available in China before being made available in the United States or Europe; sales are anticipated to start in the spring of 2023. The cost will be 31,800 yuan, which in March 2023 will be roughly $4,630 USD.

Lamborghini Revuelto Debuts 1001 HP Aerospace-Inspired V12 Hybrid

March 29, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Today is unique because Lamborghini doesn’t usually introduce a new showcase vehicle. The Aventador was around for just over a decade, and now its replacement has arrived. The Revuelto, a two-seat hypercar from Lamborghini, is what you should know about the “near future” of high-performance driving. This new vehicle has a tonne of technology, but if you aren’t prepared for a world without a crazy V12 Lambo, we assure you that you have nothing to fear.

It has an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, three electric motors, 13 drive modes, and displays for the “co-pilot” and the driver

There is a lot to talk about, most of which has already been hinted at in Lamborghini’s teases for the frame, interior, and engine. In case you forgot, the new 6.5-liter V12 at the centre of this premier vehicle is complemented by three electric engines to generate a combined 1,001 hp (1,000.7 to be specific).

A new eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox distributes power to all four axles, and this plug-in hybrid has an all-electric option. It makes use of a brand-new monocoque frame th

at Lamborghini claims is the first to have a front construction made entirely of carbon fibre. There are 13 different drive options available to the user in total.

In terms of performance, 62 mph is reached in 2.5 seconds. 124 mph is reached in under 7 seconds. The most recent Lamborghini will go faster than 217 mph when driven straight. Additionally, if the battery is fully charged, you can choose the all-electric mode for about six miles if you just want to cruise around town quietly.

That encapsulates the teases from the previous few weeks. Later, we’ll delve more deeply into these topics, but for now, let’s focus on something you haven’t seen yet: the body.

Interior Design:

As previously stated, the interior features a Y motif, but the three digital displays are what really catch the eye. None of them are particularly big; the driver only receives a small 8.4-inch portrait panel in the centre of a 12.3-inch digital display.

However, the passenger also receives a tiny 9.1-inch device that shows important car data. The information on all three screens can be shared by swiping, and Lamborghini emphasizes the passenger’s function as a co-pilot.

The driver is free to concentrate on driving by managing tasks like controlling the temperature, using the navigation system, or choosing audio. There are also seven drive options with a total of 13 configurations to choose from.

With the Revuelto, Lamborghini also strives to be more environmentally friendly (no, really). The carmaker uses novel, more effective production procedures for its materials. Various leathers are combined with microfiber made of repurposed fabric in upholstery. There are at least 70 different colour choices available for the cabin, just like there are for the exterior.

Gallery:

The Revuelto’s engine needs to be reviewed again because it does something. It may sound familiar to hear about a 6.5-liter Lamborghini V12, but this is a brand-new engine that is both lightweight and more potent than its forerunner.

Without the use of turbochargers, it generates 535 pound-feet of torque and 813 horsepower at 9,250 rpm. Two electric motors each drive the front axles of the hybrid vehicle, and a third motor is attached to the brand-new, eight-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, another first for Lamborghini. Instead of being mounted in front of the engine, the transerve is now positioned behind it to make space for the tiny 3.8 kWh battery cell in what was once the transmission tube.

Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Arrow, The Final Coupe Powered By The Legendary V12

March 24, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Conclusion Of A Chapter

Black Emblem for the Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Arrow, one of only 12 in a very small number, is the final V12 car produced by Rolls-Royce. It has been created to commemorate the iconic 12-cylinder’s ultimate farewell before making way for the ground-breaking Specter’s all-electric drivetrain.

Unique Collection Of Art

The Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge Black Arrow has an unique dual-tone paint treatment on the exterior that combines Celebration Silver and Black Diamond. It is a very unique 12-hour polish finish made with a coating of vitrified paint to improve the impact of light shift during the darker hours of the day.

Car’s Interior

A novel substance that was created specifically for the “Collection” is used inside the Black Arrow. The armrests, seat gussets, transmission tunnel, door features, side bags, and lower console panel are all covered in “Club Leather,” which has a purposefully higher sheen and even darker black coloring than the matt black natural-grain leather used on the Rolls-Royce interior.

How The Seats Are Finished

Some internal features, like the trim on the front chairs and the sports steering wheel, have the same intense yellow color as the exterior. Lastly, a replica of the V12 engine, influenced by the analogue gauges of the 1930s, has been mounted on the dashboard of this ultra-exclusive Black Badge Black Arrow.

Completely Sold Out

The front motor is the most recent 6.7-litre twin-turbocharged V12, which is evident from its exclusive Bespoke number plate and the fact that it is essentially the last 12-cylinder to have been installed in a Rolls-Royce car. The most devoted customers have already received all 12 scheduled vehicles.
