If you like the engine, you will like these Bluetooth speakers inspired by the escapement of the Porsche 911 GT3

Porsche knows that, for some people, it is not enough to drive one of the cars, because there are times when you are at home. There are those who find something terrible, because it is difficult to let everyone know that you own one of the machines in Stuttgart. Fortunately, Porsche Design is there to help, as with these Bluetooth speakers inspired by the exhaust outputs of a 911 GT3 (991).

While you may think that it is just a mere wireless speaker, you would be very wrong, miserable jester, because, clearly, in this particular device music meets the DNA of sports cars. Starting like this, it makes the Jeep speaker seem like a mundane Trasto for the plebs. And while this product is not aimed at the general public, more than one will be excited to get one.

On a technical level, Porsche Design manufactures the outer part of aluminum and finishes it in gloss black. The device is compact, since it is barely 290 millimeters long, 155 mm wide and 120 mm high. The 60-watt system has Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity to pair with devices up to 10 meters away. An integrated lithium-ion battery provides 24 hours of melodies, and the device supports voice commands.

While this speaker is technically “portable” as Porsche considers it, the configuration still weighs more than 3 kilos very solid and costs 549 euros, which makes it less a speaker to take it to the beach. It also comes with NFC pairing and, if you buy another unit, there is a function in stereo or party mode, whatever makes you more excited. However, the description of the company is worth reading.

Mercedes Vision AVTR Concept: a science fiction prototype

The CES of Las Vegas is one of the events of the year at the technological level and car manufacturers come with the systems they propose for the future and even with the occasional prototype. The Mercedes Vision AVTR Concept is the proposal of the German brand and seeks to strengthen the connection between the vehicle and the driver. Its acronym means “Advanced Vehicle Transformation” and is inspired by the popular movie “Avatar” by James Cameron, as they have reached a collaboration for the sequels that are being prepared.

It is a very futuristic prototype that has a differentiated design that has nothing to do with what we are used to. On the front stand thin headlights and joined by the center, with the star logo illuminated on that grille. Those voluptuous wheel arches do not go unnoticed, in which some illuminated tires also stand out, or the two huge glass doors. In the rear we find 33 fins that can be deployed or hidden according to aerodynamic needs.

And if the outside attracts attention, the cabin is science fiction. Here we find the link between driver and vehicle that honored the film. By putting your hand on the center console, the Mercedes Vision AVTR Concept will measure some user biometric data (such as the pulse) to create a proper atmosphere (change the temperature, seats or lighting). There are no controls or traditional screens, the images are projected on the surface that joins dashboard and center console.

All the materials used inside are sustainable and environmentally friendly. It has a Dynamic vegan leather that has been made with old clothes, flags and recycled plastic. The Karuun wood that adorns the prototype floor is made of rattan. Also striking is the absence of steering wheel and pedals, but this is a completely autonomous vehicle designed so that users do not have to drive it.

Fast & Furious Crossroads: from cinema to videogame format

Fast & Furious is one of the most popular movie franchises in movie history. Eight movies have been released since 2001, plus the Hobbs & Shaw spin-off (2019). With its fast cars, crazy stunts and exotic places, it was expected that the next step would be to go to the world of video games. And it will do so soon with Fast & Furious Crossroads.

Video games linked to movies have the unfortunate reputation of being low-budget products from unknown studios that rushed to meet on the release date of an upcoming movie. In the case of Fast & Furious Crossroads, it may not share the title of Fast 9, but it was certainly developed to support the next film, since both are scheduled to reach the general public in May 2020.

When it comes to what is behind the case, there is a surprising number of large pedigree companies behind the game. Published by Bandai Namco Entertainment and created by Slightly Mad Studios (the developers behind the acclaimed Project CARS series), Fast & Furious Crossroads has no excuse for looking as badly done as it does. That is, it can be a great creation for 2007, but not for the latest generation of consoles.

The list of vehicles shown in the official trailer includes a Ford Mustang and a first-generation Chevrolet Camaro, a Plymouth Roadrunner GTX, the iconic 1970s Dodge Charger and, surprisingly, a new Renault Mégane RS pair. There is even what appears to be a cross between a tank and a hovercraft. Most are highly modified, and many have already appeared in previous films of the saga.

At first glance, it looks like a first-person shooter game (shooters) where participants will have to go up from mission to mission. But developers focus on cinematic action scenes to close the gap between consoles and Hollywood. However, Bandai Namco wants to keep the whole plot secret for the moment, although it promises an “authentic story” and a multiplayer mode.

Subaru Levorg Prototype STI Sport: a family for fast families

Making its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in prototype form before its launch in Japan later this year, the Subaru Levorg Prototype STI Sport presents small aesthetic changes that, according to the company, are inspired by the rally legacy of the brand. But it’s not just something visual, there are also some technical updates aimed at improving the driving experience.

The only real information published by Subaru has to do with electronically controlled dampers, which represent a novelty within the company. We can also learn that the Levorg Prototype STI Sport is the first of the house that has a “Drive Mode Select” system that, as the name implies, allows the driver to choose between several modes that change the configuration of the traction system, the direction and the engine

Other details remain shrouded in mystery, but we know from the standard Levorg traveling on the Subaru global platform (SGP) opened in 2017 with the Impreza. While nothing is known about its power, the outgoing Levorg STI Sport offers up to 300 hp and 400 Nm of torque from a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine (EJ20). However, with the end of the WRX STI, the Ōta firm reported months ago that they had developed a new turbocharged 1.8-liter boxer thruster.

As was the case with Levorg when it debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2018, all the windows of the Prototype STI Sport are obscured. It is likely that Subaru is not willing to show the interior yet, but we know that your next family member will have the next generation of the company’s EyeSight system, with a better camera that will offer a wider viewing angle through the four cameras mounted on Both bumpers.

Bugatti is thinking of releasing an “everyday” model. It will not be a sports car

A practical novelty from the French manufacturer of hypercars is likely to receive an electric “stuffing.”

The Bugatti brand, owned by Volkswagen, now has two cars in its lineup – Veyron and Chiron sports cars. Naturally, they are expensive and belong to the so-called “weekend cars”. The company plans to expand the lineup due to the novelty, and it will differ in form and type of body from the current ones. It is assumed that the future car will become “everyday”.

News about the future novelty was reported by the British Autocar with reference to Bugatti CEO Stefan Winkelman. The head of the brand noted that the exact decision on the release of the car has not yet been made, as the German concern has many priorities. Now VW is actively developing the direction of electric vehicles, and relies on “popular”, that is, affordable models (we are talking, in particular, about the ID.3 hatchback and future ID family crossovers), and it will cost a lot to develop an expensive new Bugatti. Maintaining a Bugatti Veyron costs like a flat (every year)

If the decision is made in favor of the release of another production car Bugatti, it is likely to be a crossover. At the same time, the company intends to create a new platform for him. Speaking about the possibility of sharing the “cart” of the development of VW, Stefan Winkelman noted that “this does not apply to a car with the characteristics of Bugatti.”

The novelty of the French brand probably will not receive the powerful W16 engine that Veyron and Chiron are equipped with. It is expected that its filling will be “electric.” Despite the fact that the car is designed for “every day”, Bugatti plans to focus on dynamic acceleration and high maximum speed, rather than a large power reserve. Probably, the model will have a small battery of relatively “modest” capacity, which will not make the car too heavy.

According to the head of the brand, the barrier to creating a “socket” Bugatti is the charging time. He noted that the time of “refueling” the battery of an electric car should be equal to filling the tank of a car with a traditional internal combustion engine. In the meantime, this is not so. At the same time, Stefan Winkelman added that the company’s customers usually have several cars, so, in fact, a long charge will not be a problem.

It is assumed that the sale of the “everyday” electric car of the brand will be established in those regions where there is a developed infrastructure for green transport: on the east and west coast of the USA, in the UK and in Asia. The estimated time for the appearance of new items (in case the VW management decides positively) is 2025. Bugatti Chiron, We made the best even better!

Meanwhile, in the early fall of last year, the Bugatti was praised that the Chiron was the fastest sports car in the world: it managed to accelerate to 490 km / h. Recall that the races were held at the Volkswagen test site in the German commune Era-Lessin (Lower Saxony). Behind the wheel of the car was 58-year-old British racer Andy Wallace. The results were recorded by the German supervisory organization TÜV.

Renault Twingo Z.E. will receive a platform from the Smart EQ ForFour electric car

The “rosette” novelty of the French brand will enter the European market at the end of this year.

The current third generation Renault Twingo was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in the spring of 2014. It was based on the “cart” from the Smart compacts (as part of a partnership with the German concern Daimler). Now the French automaker has confirmed that it plans to introduce a new version of the model – all-electric with an addition to the name Z.E.

According to AutoExpress, Renault has confirmed that they will release an electric city car, after reporting that the model is leaving the UK market due to low sales. However, in other European countries, both the current gasoline versions of Twingo will remain, and the “green” version will appear. Presentation of new items will be held as part of the next Geneva Motor Show, and sales of the model with an increase in Z.E. start at the end of 2020.

According to the publication, the platform from the Smart EQ ForFour electric car will form the basis of the “outlet” hatchback. It can be assumed that Renault Twingo Z.E. borrowed from Smart not only the “cart”, but also the 82-horsepower electric motor, which is located on the rear axle. This “filling” will allow the car to accelerate from zero to “hundreds” in 12 seconds. The maximum speed is 130 km / h. You Like Big Cars? Pickup Renault Alyaskan Is Already Available

In addition, it can get a 17.6 kWh battery from the Smart EQ ForFour. With it, the range on one charge will be 145 km / h (according to what cycle the calculation was carried out, not specified). He can also get a charger with a capacity of 22 kW, with which you can “charge” the battery from 10 to 80% in less than 40 minutes.

The publication also suggests that buyers of electric city cars Renault will be offered a special application for smartphones, similar to the one that smart car owners now have. It allows you to remotely check the condition of the car, its location and battery level.

Note that the current regular Twingo, presented on the European market, is equipped with gasoline-powered engines of 65 and 75 hp, as well as a volume of 0.9 liters with a return of 90 hp. In pair with them are offered a five-speed manual gearbox and a six-speed “automatic” with double clutch EDC.

The starting price tag of Twingo gasoline in Germany is 10,390 euros. How much the cost of an electric city car will increase is not yet reported. Note that sales in Europe continue to grow. From January to November 2019 (data for the whole year is not yet available), the hatchback sold 79 419 cars, which is 0.8% more than a year earlier.

Earlier, it was known that the model will have a successor. In the summer of 2019, it became known that the company is conducting marketing research that will help determine the configuration of the new Twingo.

Subaru electric car: Japanese brand introduced a prototype of the future new crossover

In 10 years, the brand’s electrified models will account for approximately 40% of the total number of cars sold in the global market.

Most global automakers are gradually coming to the conclusion that it is necessary to develop the direction of green transport. Increasingly stringent environmental standards contribute to such sentiments, especially in Europe (several countries have already announced their intention to ban the use of cars with traditional ICEs). However, the development of electric vehicles and hybrids is a very costly business, so part of the companies unite, enter into partnerships with the goal of sharing the costs of these projects.

This applies, including the Japanese automakers Subaru and Toyota. At the end of September last year, it became known that Toyota Corporation increased its stake in Subaru to 20% (that is, it now owns a fifth of the company).

In a recent deal announcement, the parties said they would continue to work on joint projects. Among them, the e-TNGA platform, designed for electric cars and designed for models with front, rear and four-wheel drive. Subsequently, it will form the basis of the new “outlet” car, which Toyota and Subaru will produce under two brands. To create it, the parties use Toyota’s developments in the field of machine electrification and AWD technology from Subaru. Now Toyota and Subaru will come together to make electric cars

Today, as part of a briefing, the company showed a mockup of the future crossover, which is likely to become the first-born Subaru on the e-TNGA platform. It is expected that it will enter the market by 2025. Visually, it resembles one of the Toyota concepts presented in the summer of 2019. Also, elements of his design met earlier in show cars such as Viziv Adrenaline, Viziv Tourer and Viziv Performance.In addition, Subaru talked about plans for the next 10-15 years. So, by 2030, the Japanese brand plans that at least 40% of the total number of brand cars sold worldwide will be either electric cars or hybrids. In 2035, all brand cars produced at that time will have either hybrid or fully electric versions. This is part of a strategy whereby by 2050, Subaru will globally reduce average CO2 emissions from new cars in service by 90% or more, compared with the level recorded in 2010.

To date, in the Subaru lineup there are cars with hybrid power plants, for example, the previous generation XV, Outback and Forester had such versions. Recall that the brand introduced its first plug-in hybrid in the fall of 2018 at the Los Angeles Auto Show: it was the current Crosstrek crossover (outside the U.S. the model name is XV). The total power of its installation is 150 hp. It includes two electric motors, a Lineartronic variator and a two-liter aspirated. One of the electric motors is located between the gasoline engine and the variator, it acts as a starter and generator to recharge the battery. The second is used to drive the wheels; during braking, it switches to recovery mode. Subaru XV Executive Plus, the highest of the range with more economical engine

In general, there is nothing surprising in the fact that Subaru is not in a hurry to produce electric cars and hybrids. The main market for the brand is by no means Europe with its tough economic standards, but the United States, where the requirements are not so severe. In 2019, the company sold 700,117 new cars here, which is almost 3% more than a year earlier. Despite the growth, Subaru slipped one line in the ranking of the most sought-after brands in the States (now in 8th place).
