The Hyundai i10 is a popular city car that has just undergone a facelift. The update brought a fresh look as well as some new features and improved technology.
Sun, wind and hydrogen. This is all that the watercraft Energy Observer needs to sail, with which the Frenchmen Jerome Delafosse and Victorien Erussard are going on a six-year journey around the world. Their catamaran, which is a converted racing vessel (a former winner of the Jules Verne Trophy regatta), will be powered by solar and wind power (it is belted with solar panels and wind turbines) and will also be aided by fuel cells.
The fact that the future is inexorably approaching gives us an inkling of all the progress that has characterized the automotive industry in recent times. Electric energy already powers practically all means of transport imaginable. Some inventions and findings read like science fiction, and we can only wonder what else the electrically colored future will bring us. But despite the rapid progress, there are still classic "machines" among us, which will bring a smile to our faces and fill our ears with roaring melodies for a long time to come. Let's see how we see the automotive future this month.
In 2016, the Ford GT, a legend that turned heads half a century ago, is back on the road. The third generation of the supercar is no longer an eight-cylinder, but a "mere" six-cylinder, which is why it has two turbines and more than 600 horsepower. When it was presented for the first time at the motor show, Ford caught the whole world, including car connoisseurs, on the wrong foot, because no one expected this model. Now, this likable carbon fiber "ultimate" athlete is just a few months away from going into production.
By abandoning its patent policy, electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors will try to de-electrify the patent climate and prevent the progress of electric cars from being held hostage. Is this the beginning of the end of the patent wars? Steve Jobs is probably turning in his grave at this thought, while Nikola Tesla is sleeping a little more peacefully after a long time.
AvtoVAZ is a company under the auspices of the Renault-Nissan concern and the owner of the Russian brand Lada. To everyone's surprise, they presented a bold concept that suggests what the Lada Niva could be in the future. The Lada 4X4 Vision is the prototype that we all wish would truly become the new Niva.
The best comes in the end, this time as well, the philosophy of Mercedes-Benz, which says goodbye to the current S-Class in a "pompastic" way. At the same time, it sends one of the most legendary engines into history - the famous biturbo V12, which has been in the star's nose for more than 16 years. An engine that is in some ways the last of its kind.
The completely original Jeep, better known as Jeep Willys, began its journey as an off-road vehicle for the needs of the US military and was only later adapted for civilian use. Today's Jeeps play the exact opposite role and are primarily intended for the general public. Until now, with the promise of something new, something that meets military specifications.
With the GLE Coupe, Mercedes-Benz has created a car for emotions. In fact, he created a car for completely irrational emotions. It is powerful, so powerful that it will make you jump a grade or two on the social ladder. With an athlete's silhouette and a butt that only Kim Kardashian can compete with.
Watching the movie Mad Max, it quickly becomes clear to us that the post-apocalyptic world is cruel and dangerous, but still full of cars. And since speed is important in such a world, we have selected for you some examples of super sports cars that would do well on the roads of a crazy world.
This year is a jubilee year for BMW. The brand is celebrating 100 years, they recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the 2002 model, and now with the special edition of the M3 model, the M3 30 Jahre, they have "drank" another 30 years of the letter M.
The water-powered engine has been the holy grail of the automotive industry since the days of the steam carriage - an idea largely forgotten with the rise of electric vehicles. But not at Yamaha!
