Porsche joins the Star Wars universe with a spaceship

Porsche is almost irritatingly good for making cars. Of course, there are always some exceptions, but generally, few negative things can be attributed to your products, objectively speaking. We even wonder if Porsche itself will not be bored of sweeping others when it comes to building fast cars, since in Stuttgart has decided to enter the world of spacecraft. Clearly, it was the logical step.

Designed for two months in collaboration with Lucasfilm to appear in Star Wars: Episode IX, the rise of Skywalker, the ship has been baptized with a name almost as long as “Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Tourism.” Being completely honest, it does not immediately seem to us an object created by the people who brought the world 911, but if we look closely, there is a deliberate gesture of some characteristic features of Porsche.

The headlights and their “air curtains” are supposed to be inspired by what is in the front of a Taycan, the brand explains. Taking a look right behind where R2-D2 is comfortably housed, you can distinguish the vertical slats and a built-in raised brake light inspired by the latest 911 (992). In an attempt to convince the like with a car, Porsche points out that “the low position of the seat reminds of the sports ergonomics of the Porsche 918 Spyder.”

The truth is that, regardless of whether you take an intense or vague inspiration in the automotive world, it is undeniable that the Porsche Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter interstellar ship looks really good and certainly seems to be able to complete the Kessel Race in less than twelve parsecs, or out there. The Millennium Falcon may no longer be the fastest machine in outer space, no matter how much the captain can only bother him.

Ford Super Deluxe V8 Marmon-Herrington Wagon 4 × 4: the pioneer of luxury SUVs

Take a breath, because the protagonist of this entry has a long name: Ford Super Deluxe V8 Marmon-Herrington Wagon 4 × 4. This car was an exceptionally strange conversion at the time, since in 1948 there were not many who wanted to transform their precious family of two-wheel drive into a four-wheel drive vehicle in an environment that oozes luxury on all four sides.

\Marmon-Herrington is often forgotten when we talk about the first steps towards what we know today as a luxury SUV. It is believed that it began in the 1960s with the International-Harvester Scout 80 (1961), the Jeep Wagoneer (1963), the Ford Bronco (1966) or the Land Rover Range Rover (1970). However, the Ford Super Deluxe was ahead of them all, although it is fair to say that the first SUV with all-wheel drive was the Soviet GAZ-61 (1938).

Marmon began his life in 1851. The company specialized in the manufacture of machinery for the flour mill. Almost half a century later, in 1900, they would enter the burgeoning automotive industry. This would be the first of many important pivots that the company would address to survive and thrive through its more than 160 years of history.

Gradually, Marmon-Herrington became one of the largest in the world 4 × 4 with refueling trailers, chassis to tow light weapons and the largest trucks in the world that, at that time, were destined for Iraq Petroleum Company During World War II he would continue to build military vehicles, but it would be after the war that he would offer his work to the civilian public.

Volkswagen will reduce its offer of minivans in favor of SUVs

Most car manufacturers are very focused on the sale of SUVs and crossovers, which are the most demanded bodies today. That is also affecting their ranges, seeing how the supply of other bodies is reduced. Some of the most affected have been the coupes or convertibles, but they are not the only ones. Now Volkswagen is considering removing some minivans to reduce production costs.

The German brand has been simplifying its range gradually, while focusing on the launch of SUV. To summarize, some withdrew like the Volkswagen Beetle, the Scirocco, the Phaeton or the Eos. At the same time, they launched others such as the Volkswagen T-Roc or the T-Cross, which joined the crossover range alongside the Tiguan and Touareg. The next thing that is in view are the minivans.

Arno Antlitz, chief financial officer of Volkswagen, said they still had to see if they need three minivans in the range. They currently have the Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan, the Touran and the Sharan; sorted by size. If we order them by sales, it is the Touran that is first with 69,814 units sold in the first eleven months of the year (although with a drop of 14%). It is followed by Golf Sportsvan with 40,215 units (-26%) and Sharan with 20,854 copies sold (+1.7%).

Bentley will release a roadster based on the concept of the EXP 100 GT

Mulliner tuning studio will work on the car, which is scheduled to be released in a limited edition.

The British luxury car manufacturer introduced the third-generation Continental GT convertible a year ago. However, this model is serial, which means that some Bentley customers may consider it mainstream. For them, the company will offer another novelty with an open top – a roadster, which will be created based on the EXP 100 GT concept coupe. The car will be released in a limited edition.

Bentley introduced the “two-door” EXP 100 GT in July 2019, the presentation was timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary. The dimensions of the coupe are “gigantic”: length is 5.8 meters, width – almost 2.4 meters. Earlier, brand executive director Adrian Hallmark said that a serial car created on the basis of this concept is unlikely to be of the same large size (it is supposed to be released in 2035). The new roadster, based on the same concept, is likely to be still more compact. Bentley Continental GT Number 9 Edition, celebrating the centenary

So far, there is little data on the future car. It is expected that in its decoration will be used materials that emphasize the environmental friendliness of the model, as well as in the concept (which ones are not specified). Recall that with the EXP 100 GT, the paintwork was created from recycled rice husk, and the upholstery of the armchairs was made from wine-making waste. In addition, there are rugs made from the wool of British sheep, cotton inserts with embroidery, wooden panels from a 5,000-year-old oak, caught from peat bogs, etc.

The concept coupe is all-electric. He has four electric motors – one for each wheel. Their total maximum return is 1359 hp, torque – 1500 Nm. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h requires less than 2.5 seconds, while this coupe can accelerate to 300 km / h. The power reserve of the electric “two-door” is 700 km (according to what cycle the calculation was carried out, not specified). A 550 HP V8 engine adds to the Bentley Continental GT range

The large-scale plan of the offensive: Volkswagen is preparing to present 34 new items in 2020

One of the new products will be an electric crossover, created “based on” the ID Crozz concept, which was introduced in 2017.

The last few years have been difficult for Volkswagen: echoes of the “diesel scandal” that began in 2015 are still heard (we are talking about cars with engines that run on “heavy” fuel, which used special software that allows to lower the real level of exhaust emissions in tests). After that, the company diligently changed its image, abandoning the old slogan, replacing managers, and also promising to make a noticeable emphasis on electric cars.

They really worked on electric cars. This year, the ID.3 serial electric hatchback was introduced. Recall that the “three” in the name means that this is the third milestone in the brand’s history – after Beetle and Golf. Next year, the company intends to introduce two more representatives of the ID line: one of them will be an electric crossover created “based on” the ID Crozz concept. It was presented in 2017 (in the spring in Shanghai, and in the fall a revised version was shown in Frankfurt). The second, possibly, will be the station wagon, its prototype is ID. Space Vizzion – Last month presented at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Both models will be global: they will enter the markets of North America, Europe and China.

Also, these two cars will be included in the list of 34 new products that the company intends to introduce in 2020. At the same time, representatives of the ID line will not be the only ones on electric traction: the company is preparing six more electric cars and hybrids for debut. It is known that the Golf GTE will turn out to be one of them – a modification to go on sale after the “ordinary” versions of the hatchback enter the market (cars will go to dealers in the spring of 2020). This is the two sides of the Volkswagen Golf plug-in hybrid: e-Hybrid and GTE

The first Ferrari crossover will be based on the Roma sports car base. Debut – in 2021

The Italian brand continues to work on a project with the code name Purosangue, which means “purebred”.

The growing popularity of cars in the SUV segment has forced even manufacturers of luxury sedans and sports cars to partially “shift their focus”. So, Bentley released its Bentayga crossover back in 2015, the production of Lamborghini Urus, as well as Rolls-Royce Cullinan, started in 2018. However, the Ferrari brand has not yet presented even a prototype, but it intends to improve. The brand plans to show off its SUV in the 2021st; it is likely to enter the market a year later. A unit of the exclusive Ferrari FJ50 goes on sale

It was previously assumed that the first crossover of the Italian brand would be called Purosangue, but then there was information that it would most likely be given to a whole family of cars. Recall that by 2023 the brand intends to introduce 15 new products, among them there will be not only the first cross, but also the successor of the GTC4 Lusso model.

According to Auto Express, citing Ferrari chief engineer Michael Leuters, the crossover will be built on the basis of the new Roma coupe. The model, named after the capital of Italy, was presented in the middle of last month. She has a chassis and layout (the V8 engine is located in front of the base) is the same as that of the Portofino convertible coupe, which was introduced in August 2017. They have the same wheelbase – 2670 mm, but the Roma is 70 mm longer (4656 mm).

Little is known about the “stuffing” of the future Ferrari crossover. The car will have four-wheel drive. It is expected that the new product will be a plug-in hybrid. The company added that the platform is designed to accommodate power plants, which include V6, V8 and V12 engines.

It is assumed that the top SUV with an internal index of 175 will receive a traditional internal combustion engine of 6.5 liters. According to the head of the sales and marketing department Enrico Gallier, Ferrari does not plan to combine a large V12 engine with heavy batteries, as this will lead to too solid weight. As a result, this, of course, will affect the dynamics of the car. He also noted that the plan of the company at least until 2025 does not include the release of all-electric models.
