The Bentley Flying Spur W12 S is the fastest Bentley in history. Although the appearance says otherwise, it is not a classic four-door sedan, but a sports sedan. The heart of the steel beauty is the familiar 6-liter V12 twin-turbo petrol engine, but on steroids! With 625 hp, it leaves many supercars behind.
The new Peugeot 5008 has joined the ranks of crossovers. Now it is no longer a family MPV, as it looks more like an SUV than a typical MPV. Nevertheless, it remains extremely useful. Peugeot is thus following in the footsteps of Renault and the Espace model, and the second generation of the 5008 is moving away from single-seater paradigms and towards family crossovers. It is equipped with ambient lighting.
The fifth generation of the off-road icon Land Rover Discovery will premiere on September 28, 2016. The giant will be presented to the public for the first time at the Paris Motor Show. Land Rover is already teasing us before the release. He showed the first photo, and also sent his ambassador, the adventurer Bear Grylls, into the fight, who filmed an attractive promotional spot. During the free fall, he moved the seats using an app on his smartphone. The incredible power of the new SUV was demonstrated by putting Discovery on the tracks and having three wagons attached. See if he was up to the challenge.
Before the Paris Motor Show, Kia showed the public photos of the fourth generation of the Kia Rio (2016) model, which, design-wise, has European-Asian-American roots, and leans heavily on the Cee'd model, while the "tiger nose" in the memory brings to mind the Kia Sportage SUV.
Škoda has unveiled the final veils from its first Kodiaq SUV. It is the first seven-seater Škoda that takes its design inspiration from the Superb, and it borrows its name from the giant bear from the Kodiak Islands in southwest Alaska, with which it shares some characteristics, namely performance and an intelligent approach.
A spacecraft with a Facebook satellite exploded in Florida yesterday, which greatly upset Mark Zuckerberg, who pointed the finger at Elon Musk, the alpha and omega of Tesla Motors, for the 95 million damage. The satellite, which would allow users from Africa, the Middle East and Europe to access the Internet, was on board the rocket of his company SpaceX.
At this year's Paris Motor Show (October 1-16, 2016), in addition to the new generation of the C3 model, Citroën will also show the Citroën Cxperience concept vehicle, which announces the future design guidelines of this French brand. It is a sedan 4.85 meters long without a B-pillar (which creates a feeling of more spaciousness inside), with which they want to fill the gap in the class of larger vehicles, which is now filled with the C5 model, which is already ripe for replacement, and the DS5 model . Is Citroën resurrecting the CX?
The new Tesla Model S P100D boasts better acceleration than Ferrari and Porsche! American electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors has outdone itself again. The Model S was equipped with a new battery with a capacity of 100 kilowatt hours, which enables not only acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in a mere 2.5 seconds, but also a range between 506 and 611 kilometers. In practice, this means that it transports us from Ljubljana to Vienna or Milan without filling up in between. So far, no electric car has been able to charge that much.
For the centenary of Ferrucci's birth, after the spring presentation of the Lamborghini Centenario supercar, Lamborghini has now presented a version without a roof. All 20 roadsters, whose initial price was set at two million euros, have already been sold, so all that remains is for us to admire the octane beauty.
Ride-sharing provider Uber will soon start transporting its customers with self-driving cars. In fact, it has included customized Volvo XC90 models in its fleet, which will receive the first customers before September. It is the first commercial attempt to use fully autonomous vehicles and this type of technology. And while Uber will already transport customers around the world without a driver, we are still waiting for its arrival in Slovenia. How much longer? Uber assures that it has us "on the fly".
Volvo's truck development department is not kidding! Well, sometimes a little bit. Do you remember the famous Jean-Claude Van Damme action hero string between two of their trucks? Or when they let a kid play with their truck like it was a remote control toy? Now they want to break two speed records with the powerful Volvo Iron Knight truck. We will find out whether they will succeed on August 24, 2016!
