The Suzuki Hayabusa Rolls Into 2023 With New Colorways

February 1, 2023February 1, 2023

Introducing New Color Livery For The 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa

February 1, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Few motorcycles have the same cultural impact as the Suzuki Hayabusa. The so-called peregrine falcon, which was one of the wackiest and most outrageous bikes of the period, is credited with starting the so-called speed war between Japanese manufacturers. In fact, the Hayabusa formerly held the record for the fastest motorbike in production.

The Peregrine Falcon version from 2023 has been made available in three liveries by Suzuki in Europe

Moving ahead to the present, Suzuki must face the regrettable truth that the Hayabusa is no longer among the world’s fastest bikes due to increasing emissions regulations.

The Hayabusa was reintroduced in 2021 after a four-year sabbatical, now compatible with Euro 5 requirements but still lacking in terms of speed. The Hayabusa is still no slouch, though.

The Hayabusa sports a powerful 1,340cc in-line four-cylinder engine that produces 190 horsepower at 9,700 rpm and 105 lb-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm. It is liquid-cooled and fuel-injected.

The Suzuki Hayabusa’s suggested retail price in France for 2023 will be 19,199 Euros, or almost $21,000 USD. Please be aware that prices and availability may differ in various markets.

Realme Teases 10 Pro 5G Special Edition, Soon-To-Be-Revealed Coca-Cola Phone

February 1, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

In a Tweeted video, Realme brags about its partnership with Coca-Cola and claims that “Something Exciting is Bubbling up.” It is without a doubt the Coca-Cola enthusiasts’ exclusive Realme 10 Pro model. The model’s renderings have been circulating online for a few days. We are thus familiar with the appearance of the phone.

The official social media teasers are igniting the internet. Their website already has a page devoted to the Realme 10 Pro with the Coca-Cola logo. Additionally, Realme’s VP Madhav Seth teased the device on his official Twitter account by posting a photo of the phone’s back panel reflecting a coke can. The phone is undoubtedly about to erupt.

The complete color palette of Coca-Cola is represented in the design of the Realme 10 Pro 5G Coca-Cola Edition.

The whole back of the phone is covered in the major red accent seen on Coke cans and bottles. The device’s right side also has the official Coca-Cola logo.

The chassis of the 10 Pro 5G has not changed, save from the colour scheme.

Mobile Specifications:

Despite being the limited-edition Coca-Cola phone, it most likely features the same camera layout as the Realme 10 Pro, with two cells protruding from the frame and a sharply-edged construction,

And it presumably costs around the same as a Realme mobile. A 6.78-inch HD+ IPS screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and an 89.9% screen-to-body ratio graces the front of the device.

The Pro comes equipped with twin cameras that are 108MP + 2MP, Android 13 x Realme Ul out of the box, a 5,000mAh battery, 33-watt charging, and an 8+128GB RAM option. Under the shell is a Snapdragon 695 6nm core running at 2.2GHz.

Similar to the 9i from the lineup from last year, the selfie camera beneath the screen has a 16MP sensor.

The Realme in Pakistan is Rs. 62,999 EST

January 30, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

On Monday afternoon, a mosque bomb in Peshawar’s Police Lines neighborhood injured at least 90 people, according to emergency personnel.

The Lady Reading Hospital’s (LRC) spokeswoman, Mohammad Asim, told Reuters that the hospital was still receiving injured patients, some of whom were in severe condition.

According to Asim, the area has been totally blocked off, and only ambulances are permitted access.

A part of the structure had fallen, and numerous people were reportedly under it, according to police officer Sikandar Khan.

Government Permits ‘Sky High’ Increase In Gasoline Prices

January 30, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

Finance Minister Ishaq Dar explains that the price of gasoline and high-speed diesel increased by 35 rupees per litre, that the price of kerosene oil has increased to 189.83 rupees per litre, and that the price of light diesel oil has increased to 187 rupees per liter. He also notes that on the instructions of the Prime Minister, the price of gasoline remained unchanged for the previous four months.

Due to an increase in the price of oil on the worldwide market and the devaluation of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar, the government has increased the price of gasoline and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs 35/liter each.

PRODUCT	NEW PRICES
Petrol	PKR 249.80
High Speed Diesel (HSD)	PKR 262.80
Light Diesel Oil (LDO)	PKR 187.00
Kerosene Oil	PKR 189.83

Ishaq Dar, the federal minister of finance, announced a hike in the price of all petroleum products, including gasoline, high-sulfur diesel, kerosene, and light diesel oil, in a brief televised address on Sunday morning (LDO). The price of gasoline and diesel would rise by 35 rupees per liter, the minister announced. He announced an increase of Rs 18 per liter in the price of light fuel and kerosene.

High speed diesel now costs Rs 262.80 per liter as opposed to Rs 227.80 per liter before the hike. From an early price of Rs 214.80/liter, the price of motor spirit/petrol reached a record high of Rs 249.80/liter. Kerosene oil’s price has increased from Rs. 171.83/liter to Rs. 189.83/liter. Light diesel oil now costs Rs 187 per liter as opposed to Rs 169 per liter.

Ishaq Dar recalled that the price of gasoline did not increase during the previous four months, from October to January 29. He also said that kerosene and diesel costs have been reduced.

Last week, the Pakistani rupee lost about 12 percent of its value versus the US dollar, while oil prices rose 11 percent globally. On the instructions of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, it has been agreed to make a modest rise in the pricing of petroleum products notwithstanding international prices and currency depreciation, the finance minister stated. Dar stated that the hike is being implemented right away after the oil and gas regulatory authority’s proposal (OGRA).

OGRA claims that there have been complaints of false shortages and gasoline stockpiling in anticipation of price increases; as a result, this price increase is being implemented right away to address the artificial scarcity, the official stated. By 11 a.m., the revised pricing would go into effect in the following two to three minutes, according to Dar.
The minister anticipated that announcing increased pricing would put an end to rumor’s that gasoline supplies were running low. Due to the nation’s oil scarcity, the administration decided to modify fuel prices three days before the revision was supposed to take place on January 31.

Petrol stations all around the country stopped selling fuel on Saturday as a result of rumours that the price of gasoline and HSD will increase by up to Rs80 per litre. Rumors of a significant increase in oil prices for the upcoming two weeks led to stockpiling at gas stations and the artificial closure of more than 80% of gas stations in various parts of the nation.

According to a government source, the government computed the price of oil using oil prices up until October 27 and the average rupee conversion rate of Rs 236 per dollar.

The revised pricing are valid through February 15, 2023.

Fiscal restraint is necessary for the nation’s development and can only be achieved when democracy is stabilised, according to Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, who earlier made this statement at the conclusion of the two-day Bacha Khan Conference.

He stated that we need to stop depending on foreign help. He said that the late Bacha Khan had advocated for using native resources rather than ones that were imported.

Senator Yusuf Raza Gillani, a former prime minister and the head of the Pakistan People’s Party, had before urged adherence to the Constitution to uphold the rule of law and enhance democracy in the nation.

In The Pakistani Version Of “Pakeezah,” Mahira Will Take Meena Kumari’s Role

January 30, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Entertainment News

Sajal Aly will play Umrao Jaan in an eight-part television series based on Mirza Hadi Ruswa’s 1899 book, it was recently reported. Another classic is currently being remade.

In the Pakistani version of the 1972 hit movie Pakeezah, Meena Kumari’s role would be filled by Mahira Khan. Hamid Hussain, whose production company, Action Consultancy, is located in the United Arab Emirates, is slated to produce the movie.

It has been verified by insiders on the production team that Mahira Khan will play the part of Kumari. Numerous well-known people are being considered for the future film in addition to the Raees star.

Mahira is on board, but she is only one of many stars we are striving for in the remake of this epic, the insider said. More well-known musicians are in discussions to appear in the movie. Leading South Asian actors are managed by Action Consultancy, including Aly, who will play Maymouna in Jemima Goldsmith’s What’s Love Got to Do With It? and Humayun Saeed, who appeared in The Crown and Resident Evil.

The company has diversified its offerings and forayed into funding and packaging foreign material for movies and television shows. One of the most well-known projects Kumari has worked on is Pakeezah.

The Indian newspaper Mid-Day said that Pakeezah required 14 years of commitment. According to a person involved in the film’s production, director Kamal Amrohi would count a day as fruitful even if just one shot was finished. One of the most costly movies produced in the 1970s was regarded as Pakeezah.

The film garnered nominations for Best Film and Best Director (Amrohi), while N B Kulkarni was given a prize for Best Art Direction at Filmfare. Kumari was also nominated for a special Bengal Film Journalists’ Association Award and won it. Mahira Khan, who recently released The Legend of Maula Jatt, is still in shock at its commercial success. In Neelofar, she will also be shown with Fawad Khan.

As Orlen Transfers To AlphaTauri & Alfa Romeo Secures A New Sponsor, Kubica Leaves Formula1

January 27, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake will be the name of the Swiss team’s new title sponsor, Stake, an online casino and gambling outfit.

Orlen debuted in Formula One in 2019 while Kubica was a racer for Williams, and the following year he switched to Alfa Romeo. Kubica joined the Swiss team as a reserve and FP1 driver because there was no open race seat. He kept both positions for three seasons.

In 2021, he was given the chance to compete in the Dutch and Italian GPs when Kimi Raikkonen’s COVID-19 test result was discovered.

Before the end of the previous season, there were rumor’s that Orlen would be leaving. At the time, it was believed that the Swiss team had already secured a new title sponsor.

However, there was still a potential that the business might continue, although in a supporting capacity, in a manner similar to how BWT stepped back at Aston Martin in 2021 after serving as Racing Point’s title sponsor earlier.

Instead, Orlen Is Now A Principal Partner At AlphaTauri

Kubica severed connections with Alfa Romeo at the conclusion of the last season, and it’s believed that he won’t be able to drive for the Faenza team. As a result, it’s possible that his FP1 session in Abu Dhabi will be his final time behind the wheel of an F1 vehicle.

Orlen’s plans were inquired about by Autosport that weekend, and he responded: “I don’t know; I don’t want to speak for the others. I’m not in their position; I’m not dealing with the finances. Naturally, as I said, I must take care of my responsibilities and belongings, and this is my first priority.

“Probably after that, I’ll speak with the parties, whatever happens. I want to know whether I can be active and productive, whether it’s on this team or a another one, because I don’t want to be here if I’m not.

If Abu Dhabi did turn out to be his final opportunity, Kubica claimed, he will embrace it.

I’m at ease, he declared. “At the end of the day, I have always been extremely practical. Let’s be real here. You shouldn’t be shocked if you can no longer drive at the age of 38. Too many ifs exist, so let’s wait and see before responding.

“I believe that my tale proved that you should never say never. To be quite honest, the fact that I occasionally have the opportunity to drive is the only thing keeping me alive. If I ever stop getting the chance to drive even one automobile, my life may be over.

Stake, the new Alfa Romeo sponsor, is a 2017 startup that already has partnerships with the UFC, Drake, the Everton football team, and Argentine footballer Sergio Aguero.

“We welcome Stake as a new co-title partner for the team in what symbolizes the beginning of a new era for us both,” said Sauber managing director and team spokesperson Alessandro Alunni Bravi.

“Over the past several years, F1 has witnessed a significant surge in interest, and the entry of companies like Stake is indicative of the enormous exposure that our sport can provide.

We are thrilled to be a part of this portfolio of sports and entertainment companies, and we anticipate the fan activation campaign that Stake will introduce.

Nissan Will Unveil A New Electric Concept Car Next Week

January 27, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

On February 1 at 8 PM EST (February 2 at 1 AM GMT), Nissan plans to reveal a concept, but haven’t we seen it already? The YouTube video for the Max-Out, which was first unveiled in late November 2021, is attached.

It will go online the following week. Its next EV, according to the carmaker, would demonstrate what “happens when virtual turns tangible.” Since Max-Out was previously only displayed in drawings, it appears that the vehicle has really been constructed.

Nissan stated the two-seater electric roadster benefited from a “ultra-lightweight” build when the idea was first shown. The Japanese carmaker also mentioned that the car had all-wheel drive, which suggests it had a front and rear electric motor. With its “unique ability to morph the seats, flattening into the floor to give greater internal space when requested,” the sporty EV featured a low center of gravity.

GALLERY:

A dual-motor AWD arrangement known as Advanced e-4ORCE, Nissan’s marketing lingo for the setup, was also provided. A Leaf prototype with a combined output of 304 horsepower and 680 Newton-meters (501 pound-feet) of torque was used to debut the hardware in October 2019. That much electric power was enough to provide an acceleration that was “very responsive yet unusually smooth.” There were no technical details given for the Max-Out.

Nissan is ready to unveil the Max-Out in metal, but despite this, we wouldn’t have too high of expectations for a production model. There is more money to be earned in other areas, such as SUVs and trucks, than in the convertible market, which has declined in popularity in recent decades.

It is doubtful that people will rush out and purchase an electric convertible because they are still very much of a novelty. The corporation has larger priorities than developing a droptop Leaf model; turning the Leaf into a crossover for a 2025 introduction is a higher priority.

When the Max-Out first appeared, it was shown next to the Chill-Out as a possible sneak peek of the Leaf crossover. We also observed a boxy Hang-Out hatchback that resembled a future Cube and the Surf-Out single-cab pickup truck.

Honda Debuts Its CB1000R & CB1000R Black Edition Models In Japan In 2023

January 20, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

For the 2023 model year, Honda will continue to produce the CB1000R, a liter-class neo-retro naked sport bike. The bike hasn’t had many technological or feature changes since it first appeared. The 2023 model year won’t be any different, since the sole difference between the ordinary CB1000R and the CB1000R Black Editions is a new color scheme.

The redesigned CB1000R and CB1000R Black Edition will debut in the Japanese market on January 19, 2023, with new Bordeaux Red Metallic and Graphite Black paint jobs, respectively.

GALLERY:

The Matte Beta Silver Metallic, Candy Chromosphere Red, and Matte Ballistic Black Metallic finishes are no longer available. For the Black Edition, blacked-out components include the headlamp bezel, fuel tank garnish, upper and lower fairings, and muffler. The CB1000R emblem is also shown in subdued graphics on the gasoline tank.

Performance Details:

On the performance front, the tried-and-true inline-four cylinder engine from the CBR1000RR super sport bike continues to power the CB1000R. With throttle-by-wire technology, four riding modes, and an up-and-down quick-shifter, it keeps up an astounding level of technology. A six-speed manual gearbox with a slipper-assist clutch transfers power to the rear wheels. The 998cc engine generates 77 lb-ft of torque at 8,250 rpm and 143 horsepower at 10,500 rpm.

17-inch alloy wheels with machined spokes, a Showa Separate Function, a Big Piston inverted front fork, and a fully adjustable rear monoshock are a few further standout features. Dual front and single rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS make up the braking system.

The 2023 Honda CB1000R and CB1000R Black Edition will go on sale in the Japanese market on January 19, 2023, with regards to availability and price. While the sleek and sophisticated Black Edition in Graphite Black costs 1,716,000 Yen, or $13,328 USD, the normal CB1000R, which is available in Bordeaux Red Metallic, retails for 1,670,900 Yen, or around $12,978 USD.

Jeddah Will Host The Saudi Arabia F1 Event At Least Through 2027

January 20, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit, which was planned to be the grand prix’s temporary home until it moved to the newly constructed city of Qiddiya on the outskirts of Riyadh, staged Saudi Arabia’s inaugural F1 event in 2021.

However, with a lot of the temporary facilities at the track being converted to permanent ones, Jeddah is now anticipated to host the event for at least another four years while construction on the cutting-edge facility proceeds.

According to Martin Whitaker, CEO of the Saudi Motorsport Company, which organizes the race, “it’s important that we future proof the Jeddah track. For this reason, we have again been working with the FIA and Formula 1 to ensure that we have a circuit that will allow us to stage the sport in Jeddah while work begins on the track in Qiddiya.”

The Qiddiya Automotive Center is being developed to be the best Formula 1 circuit and entertainment venue in the world. Everyone will want to visit Qiddiya since it is a distinctive and fascinating undertaking.

However, Jeddah and the Red Sea shoreline in March will be in the spotlight right now and for the foreseeable future.

After agreeing to a date exchange with Australia, Saudi Arabia is expected to host the opening round of the 2024 Formula One season. This would avoid conflicting with the holy month of Ramadan, which runs from 10 March to 9 April.

Whitaker insisted that more discussions with F1 and the FIA were necessary to determine the precise grand prix scheduling and schedule.

Naturally, it would be difficult to conduct a Grand Prix during Ramadan due to its sacredness, although Formula 1 and the FIA ultimately have the last say in the date of the event the following year.

So, with reference to our 2024 date, we are awaiting information from the promoter and regulatory body. This won’t be disclosed until much later in the year, as usual.

Drivers and team managers held discussions into the early hours of Saturday about perhaps calling off the rest of the weekend, but safety precautions were put in place, and the weekend went on as planned.

Prior to the 2023 race, discussions between race organizers and drivers were held, and Whitaker stated that safety was still of “utmost concern to everyone who attends the race.”

It is our responsibility as a promoter to make sure that fans feel secure while they are in the city and at the track, he continued.

It has been a major goal in the year since the race in March to emphasize this message to the Formula 1 community.

Discussions with the drivers and team principals have been a top priority, and I’d like to believe that the clear messages we and the authorities have sent have given everyone travelling to Jeddah the assurance that Saudi, like so many other races on the F1 calendar, is completely safe and that the hospitality of the Saudi people is foremost in the minds of all visitors.

Apple Launches New M2 Pro & M2 Max Chips In The MacBook Pro & Mac Mini

January 18, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

The M2 Pro and M2 Max versions of Apple’s M-series processors have been added, and the upgraded 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models as well as the Mac Mini desktop are now available with these chips.

According to Apple, the M2 Pro architecture is scaled up to provide up to a 32GB of rapid unified memory, a 12-core CPU, and a 19-core GPU. The features of M2 Pro are expanded upon by M2 Max, which offers a GPU with up to 38 cores, twice the unified memory bandwidth, and up to 96GB of unified memory.

The latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBooks promise battery life up to 22 hours and add Wi-Fi 6E

The M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max CPUs from the older models have been replaced by the new chips in the new MacBooks and Mac Mini, which have the same design as their predecessors. The M1 Pro and M1 Max variants of the MacBook Pro as well as the M1 Mac Mini have all been tested and reviewed in the past.

M2 Pro/Max added to MacBook Pro

When the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro computers were introduced in October 2021, a change from the prior MacBooks’ softly bent lids to a more structured, squared-off form with a flat lid and sharp corners became apparent. These computers also lacked the touch bar interface found on earlier MacBook Pro models; only the 2022 M2 13-inch MacBook Pro retains this functionality along with the vintage appearance and feel (for now).

Apple’s claim of a battery life of up to 22 hours—the “longest battery life ever in a Mac”—is the largest change, aside from the processor generation. Additionally, the MacBook Pro upgrades its Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi 6E from Wi-Fi 6 and has an HDMI connector that now supports 4K and 8K screens at up to 240Hz and 60Hz, respectively.

According to Apple, the M2 Pro processor does image processing in Photoshop up to 40% quicker than the M1 Pro, while the M2 Max can render effects in Cinema 4D and color grade in DaVinci Resolve up to 30% faster than the M1 Max.

Price:

The price for the new 16-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro starts at $2,499 (£2,699, AU$3,999), while the price for the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro is $1,999 (£2,149, AU$3,199).

The First Upgrade To The Mac Mini Since 2020

The M1 CPU, which eschewed Intel, was added to the Mac Mini at its most recent version in 2020. The M2 and M2 Pro chips are both available in the updated version.

According to Apple, the M2 version of Photoshop can perform up to 50% quicker than the M1 version, while the M2 Pro edition of Final Cut Pro can transcode up to 4.2 times faster than the M1 Mac Mini. There wasn’t a Mac Mini M1 Pro version available for direct comparison.

A variant of the Intel Mac Mini, which was still available (along with the M1 version) until this announcement, has likewise been discontinued by Apple. The only remaining Intel-based Mac that you can buy straight from Apple is the Mac Studio desktop. If you really, certainly must have one, several merchants, like Best Buy, still carry the Intel Mac Mini.

For the M2 version of the new model, prices begin at $599 (£649, AU$999), and for the M2 Pro version, they start at $1,299 (£1,399, AU$1,999).

The new Mac Mini and MacBook Pro will both be available for pre-order starting on January 17 and will begin shipping to consumers and retail locations on January 24.

The 24-inch iMac, the Mac Studio, and the Mac Pro desktop are further items that might potentially receive M2, M2 Pro, or M2 Max processor improvements later in 2022.

And no, there isn’t a touchscreen yet, despite some recent speculations.
