Lamborghini Fully Revealed The 2023 Huracan Sterrato Design

November 15, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The date of November 14, 2022 will be remembered as the day Lamborghini revealed photographs of their final production vehicle that was only powered by a gasoline engine. The exterior of the Huracan Sterrato is being fully revealed in advance of its public premiere at Art Basel in Miami on November 30. As anticipated, it stays quite close to the original idea introduced in June 2019.

The bulky body covering on the front and rear wheel arches and the additional LED lighting on the front bumper remain on the naturally aspirated V10 supercar.

Although it does not have the roof-mounted light bar of the previous idea, the Sterrato roof rails make it more useful than the standard Huracan.

The Huracan Sterrato has much higher ground clearance than almost any other supercar on the market thanks to the apparent suspension boost. To enhance the all-terrain performance, Lamborghini has also added new black wheels shod in beefy Bridgestone Dueler tyres.

The large side skirts and underbody guards at the front and back are also visible. The Huracan’s new khaki paint (maybe with a satin finish?) has been paired with red body highlights that continue onto the brake calipers.

Although we won’t be too shocked if there is a choice to have them body-colored, Lamborghini purposefully kept the fender flares unpainted to convey an off-road attitude.

Technical details won’t be available until the end of the month, but it should go without saying that the Huracan Sterrato will only be offered with all-wheel drive.

The front and rear tracks of the idea were wider by 30 mm (1.18 inches) and sat 47 mm (1.85 inches) higher. Additionally, Lamborghini increased the departure angle by 6.5 percent and the approach angle by 1 degree.

Prior to 2028, when Sant’Agata Bolognese intends to release its first EV as a 2+2 with two doors and a raised suspension, all new Lamborghini products will be at least partially electrified starting in 2023.

Bottas Will Remain With Sauber Till The Advent Of Audi F1

November 7, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Audi formally announced its intention to team up with Sauber as its power unit manufacturer in 2026, when a new engine formula will go into effect, during the Belgian Grand Prix in August.

As Audi becomes a shareholder in the Swiss team, it is anticipated that its engagement would progressively increase once Alfa Romeo’s sponsorship agreement with the Hinwil team expires at the end of 2023.

Driving for an actual works team once more appeals to current Alfa Romeo driver Bottas, who joined the privateer after five years with Mercedes.

Turkey Introduces TOGG, The President’s High-Profile Project

October 31, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

A new electric vehicle called the TOGG has begun manufacturing in Turkey. It’s actually Turkey’s first ever automobile. However, detractors claim that President Erdogan’s desire to win re-election is the fundamental motivation for the entire endeavor.

Will Erogan receive support from the TOGG for reelection?

In order to increase its independence from other nations, Turkey has recently implemented a variety of political and economic reforms. It is now witnessing a significant advancement in the vehicle sector. Turkey’s Automobile Joint Venture Group (TOGG) is starting to produce the nation’s first-ever automobile.

On October 29, the brand-new TOGG auto plant started producing cars. Given that it is the 99th anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic, the date has a very clear meaning.

In order to increase Turkey’s independence from international automakers, TOGG was created in 2018. According to writer and automotive specialist Emre zpeynirci, who has closely followed the TOGG project, “it is a significant step contributing to the growth of Turkey’s vehicle sector.”

The facility of TOGG in Istanbul will produce 17,000 to 18,000 electric automobiles in the upcoming year. The facility is intended to accommodate up to 175,000 vehicles yearly, a goal that decision-makers want to achieve in the following five years.

A Challenging Project

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is up for reelection next summer, is largely regarded as viewing the TOGG automobile as a prestige project. This automobile divides people’s opinions, which is a serious concern, claims zpeynirci.

On June 18, voters will decide whether to elect Erdogan’s successor or to retain him in office.

Even though the TOGG facility has started producing, it will be some time before the first car is offered for sale. According to the corporation, the first vehicles would be available in March 2023, only a few weeks before the election.

Critics of President Erdogan and the AKP believe he is utilizing TOGG to increase his prospects of winning reelection. According to zpeynirci, “Of course, the state always supports investments like this, but if there are political problems, this will undermine the initiative before [a single] car is even manufactured.”

“People’s car” advertising has been used to describe the TOGG vehicle. In fact, according to zpeynirci, when Erdogan originally announced the idea, many “thought this would be a car affordable for everyone in Turkey.”

Not only will many people find this retail pricing disappointing. Additionally, Turkey lacks the infrastructure required for electric cars. According to Automotive Data CEO Hüsamettin Yalçn, “Turkey’s infrastructure is not yet prepared to move to e-cars.” According to him, the average person shouldn’t have to worry about finding enough charging stations between Ankara and Istanbul.

Currently, TOGG automobiles are geared more at domestic than international consumers. According to zpeynirci, this is caused in part by the car’s component mix, which raises production costs. He claims that TOGG’s automobiles will be competitive on the global market if it is successful in employing 70% components created in Turkey.

In Pakistan, Suzuki Releases The Swift GL “Limited Edition.”

October 14, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) has unsurprisingly introduced the Swift GL Limited Edition. Despite its high price, the all-new Swift has quickly gained a sizable portion of the market since its launch in February of this year.

The specifics state that there are just two “improvements” made to the Swift GL Limited Edition above the base GL CVT model. These upgrades include a center armrest in-between the passenger seats and a rear top spoiler.

Other Characteristics Are:

2 airbags
Climate Control
Anti-lock Braking System
Hill Start Assist
Vehicle Stability Control
USB and Aux Connectivity
Sat-Nav
Cruise Control
Keyless entry
Electronic parking brake

The new Swift GL Limited Edition costs Rs. 3,450,000, which is Rs. 30,000 more than the Swift GL CVT basic model. This is a significant premium for the enhancements. In addition, it boasts the same 1.2-liter four-cylinder K12C Dualjet petrol engine with naturally aspirated combustion, which delivers 90 horsepower and 120 Nm of torque to the front wheels with a CVT automatic transmission.

The Last Lamborghini Aventador Is A Tribute To The Distinctive Miura Roadster

October 14, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

**Final Miura Roadster and Lamborghini Aventador models**

This Ultimae Roadster was modelled by Bertone’s unique Miura P400 Roadster.

Earlier this year, when the Felicity Ace caught fire, 15 Aventador supercars drowned in the Atlantic. Lamborghini was forced to rebuild every single one of them because they were meant to be the last client vehicles for the company’s flagship Sant’Agata Bolognese model.

Actually, during the catastrophic catastrophe, the Italian exotic carmaker lost roughly 85 vehicles, the most of which were Urus SUVs. The very final Aventador was unveiled in late September.

GALLERY:a

The droptop V12 vehicle, painted in a custom shade of Azzuro Flake, is modelled after the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Miura Roadster.

At the Brussels Auto Show in April 1968, Bertone showed his one-of, which was never put into production. As the Aventador’s swan song mirrors the livery of its predecessor with Grigio Liqueo and Nero Aldebaran accents for the lower half of the body, the spirit of the Miura P400 Roadster is alive and well in this design.

The inside follows the same theme, paying homage to the late 1960s prototype with Bianco Leda leather upholstery and Nero Aldebaran accents surrounding the headrests. The dashboard, which is covered in Nero Ade Alcantara and has Bianco Leda stitching, boldly displays a Miura logo that is also visible outside, more especially on the side rocker.

The unusual Miura Roadster was purchased by the International Lead and Zinc Research Organization, in case you’re wondering what happened to it. All the replaceable parts were switched out with components composed of zinc or lead by the new owner. In addition, ILZRO provided the inside and outside of the automobile matching green paint jobs.

It was subsequently given the new moniker ZN 75 and utilized for promotional reasons while touring various design centres all over the world. It ultimately went through a couple ownership changes before being fully repaired and displayed at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2008, when it was back to its original specifications. In the Lamborghini class, it won second place.

F1: Zhou Guanyu Will Continue At Alfa Romeo Till 2023

September 28, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

**Zhou Guanyu: Meet China’s first full-time F1 driver**

Alfa Romeo has given Zhou Guanyu a new contract, keeping the first full-time F1 driver from China with the club through 2023 together with Valtteri Bottas.

The 23-year-old made a strong start by earning a point in his race debut in Bahrain. He then backed it up with two further point finishes at the Italian Grand Prix and in Canada.

His “passion and attitude,” according to Alfa Romeo, have pleased them, and he has shown “levels of maturity and runecraft that belie his youthful age.”

Alfa Romeo chose to extend Zhou’s contract for a second season in part because of the close bond he has developed with teammate Bottas, who is signed for several seasons.

Before this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, Alfa Romeo CEO Fred Vasseur remarked, “I am looking forward to continuing working with Zhou.”

“He has impressed me with his approach to work, which is usually a very good attribute, ever from his first day with the squad, in the Abu Dhabi test last year. We were aware of his speed, but one of our season’s biggest shocks has been how quickly he learned how to adjust to Formula 1.

Everyone on the team like both his personality and attitude since he is such a great person. He has the wisdom to use all the knowledge he has acquired to get better race each race, as well as the humility to learn from the engineers and Valtteri.

“He will be able to rely on this experience next season, and I am confident he can make another progress as we continue to build our squad.”

“I am pleased and appreciative to Alfa Romeo F1 Team for the opportunity to remain a member of the team for another season,” Zhou continued.

The team has been wonderfully helpful, embracing me from day one and assisting me in adjusting to the most challenging series in motorsport. “Making it to Formula 1 was a dream come true and the thrill of participating for the first time in a race will be with me forever,” the driver said.

“There are still things I want to accomplish in this sport and with the team, and the diligent effort we have been putting in since the beginning of the year is only the first step toward where we want to be next season.

There is still much to learn and grow in, but I am confident in our work and eagerly awaiting the next chapter of our tale.

Bottas has 46 points so far this season compared to Zhou’s six, but it’s believed internally that Zhou’s total would be significantly higher if it weren’t for a string of technical issues.

For The 2024 LMDh Automobile, Lamborghini Is Designing A New V8 Turbo Engine

September 21, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

**Giorgio Sanna, the head of Lamborghini Motorsport, Andrea Caldarelli, a factory driver for the automaker Mirko Bortolotti, factory driver for Lamborghini**

On Monday, the company released a new teaser image of the Lamborghini LMDh, which is being developed in collaboration with the French manufacturer Ligier Automotive, along with the first information on the hybrid powertrain’s internal combustion component.

In contrast to the production-based V10 that powers Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s Huracan GT3 and Super Trofeo one-make gear, the LMDh engine is the company’s first from the ground up. Lamborghini Squadra Corse was created in 2013.

The Italian designer has stated that the engine would be a 90-degree V8, but not its exact capacity, which is thought to be about four litres. It will weigh 180 kg, which is the minimum allowed under the rules.

Mercedes-AMG Teased The 2023 C63 Ahead Of Its Debut On September 21

September 19, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Exactly 63 hours before the premiere, AMG published the teaser image.

At the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year, AMG presented a near-production prototype of the C63 that was only lightly covered. Now, the sports sedan is going to be unveiled. There isn’t much we don’t know about the BMW M3 competitor, but we’re interested to see how those intriguing technological details will translate into performance in the real world. The subsequent model, in contrast to its rear-wheel-drive predecessor, will only be offered with 4Matic.

The V8 is now officially a thing of the past, to address the big issue in the room. The folks from Affalterbach have repeated multiple times that the 2.0-liter M139 from the “45” models would be used in the new C63, but with higher power and longitudinal mounting. Yes, the vehicle will be a plug-in hybrid. A 6.1 kWh battery will supply power to a rear-mounted electric motor.

2023 Mercedes-AMG C63 at Goodwood FoS 2022

Although purists will undoubtedly be unhappy by the cylinder count reduction, the flagship C-Class should still be brisk thanks to its combined 670 horsepower.

We can only hope that the C63 Estate will be shown as well; this hot wagon will compete against the M3 Touring, a brand-new competitor. Aside: New M vehicles will also be plug-in hybrids starting in 2023.

The Bavarians, on the other hand, promise to continue with the inline-six and V8 until at least 2030 and have no plans to reduce the size of their combustion engines.

Considering its PHEV design, the AMG C63 should have a fully electric range, but given how tiny the battery will be, the combustion engine will engage sooner rather than later. Weight is a worry since, despite the fact that the four-cylinder engine is lighter than the original V8, the hybrid-related components will undoubtedly add weight, and it wouldn’t surprise us if it ended up being significantly heavier than its predecessor.

Wednesday, September 21 is the planned date for the world premiere. Due to the two-door C-Class and E-Class models combining to form the CLE, AMG will not be releasing another C63 Coupe and Cabriolet.
