Elon Musk promised to supply the new Tesla Roadster with rocket technology

The head of Tesla has revealed some interesting details of the upcoming flagship model, the Roadster sports car, and finally announced the date of its debut: a pre-production prototype will be shown at the end of this summer, production will begin in 2022.

The first show of the second-generation Roadster sports car took place back in November 2017, and since then, the wealthiest Tesla fans, who made a 50 thousand dollar deposit for the right to get the car first, have been patiently waiting for the production version. In May last year, Elon Musk announced that the launch of the new Roadster was postponed indefinitely, as it is not a priority project for the company. But now, fortunately, clarity about the Roadster has appeared, as Musk traditionally announced on his Twitter (Tesla no longer has its own PR service).

So, according to Musk, the development of the new Roadster has entered the final stage and at the end of the summer we will be shown a close-to-production version, and production will begin next year (Musk did not give an exact date).

New inputs from the main innovative entrepreneur of the Earth came immediately after the premiere of the restyled Tesla Model S and Model X. For the Model S liftback, we recall, a new three-engine top version Plaid + with a capacity of 1115 hp has been announced, capable of accelerating to 100 km / h in less than 2.1 sec This version will go on sale later this year and will be equipped with a new generation battery with cobalt-free cells type 4680, thanks to which the electric vehicle’s range on a single charge will exceed 840 km. To own a Tesla Model S Plaid +, you need to prepare at least $ 139,990.

Fleets will continue to go green: GM will phase out combustion engines by 2035

Judging by the statement of the management of the American concern, we are talking only about passenger cars of the brands that make up its composition. Probably, pickups and commercial vehicles will be left with internal combustion engines after the middle of the next decade.

General Motors now has four car brands in its portfolio – Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. Until 2017, the list also included the German brand Opel and the British Vauxhall, but they were sold to the French PSA group (now it has merged with FCA, together they formed a new major player in the market called Stellantis). Each of the brands has and is in the development of electric cars, in the near future there will be more of them.

GM has calculated by what time the concern will be able to abandon internal combustion engines in the production of its “passenger cars”. The new announcement plans to “eliminate tailpipe emissions” from such vehicles by 2035. At the same time, the auto giant noted that this step will become part of a large-scale intention – to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 (this applies to both enterprises and cars).

According to the report, cars currently account for about 75% of the carmaker’s carbon dioxide emissions. The concern intends by 2025 to ensure that electric vehicles will account for 40% of the entire American model line. In general, 30 electric trains are expected on the world market by this time. So that customers do not worry about a possible lack of infrastructure, GM decided to cooperate with EVgo – together they will replenish the network of 2.7 thousand points for fast charging (also by 2025).

Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing: BMW M5 competitor with Corvette engine and manual transmission

General Motors Corporation has presented, perhaps, its latest old-school sports sedan, which should delight fans of the American car industry: a compressor V8 with a capacity of 677 hp, rear-wheel drive with “self-blocking” and a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard. “Automatic” is also available, but, as they say, for weaklings.

We must pay tribute, since the appearance of the first Cadillac CTS-V in 2004, the handling of which was set up at the German Nurburgring, American sports sedans have gained respect throughout the world, but the era of such cars is coming to an end – by 2035 GM intends to completely switch to electric vehicles. and with such a prospect, it makes no sense to spend money on the development of new products with powerful gasoline V8s.

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing presented today is a kind of gift for fans of the old-school American car industry, which runs counter to the “green” discourse of GM, and it is made in exactly the same patterns as the first generation CTS-V, only with a slight amendment to the current digital technologies and accessories.

Under the hood is the good old 6.2-liter LT4 V8 from the past front-engined Chevrolet Corvette: 1.7-liter Eaton supercharger, Rotocast A356T6 aluminum heads, titanium intake valves, modified lubrication and crankcase ventilation systems, high-performance intake systems and release allowed to achieve maximum 677 hp. and 893 Nm – this is the most powerful production Cadillac in history! For comparison, let’s say that the recently presented BMW M5 CS has “only” 635 hp under the hood. and 750 Nm.

Mercedes-Benz will split from Daimler

Daimler’s management decided to split the concern into two independent companies – Mercedes-Benz and Daimler Truck. It is assumed that in this way the current two divisions of the same concern will become more flexible in the market, and Daimler Truck will be able to attract additional investments necessary for the transition to environmentally friendly technology – electric and hydrogen trucks.

Many modern motorists are still not aware that Mercedes-Benz is, in fact, a trademark, and when the name of its copyright holder, the Daimler concern, pops up in business news, they fall into a stupor – they say, what kind of Daimler? Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz are considered the inventors of the automobile and the owners of the corresponding patent, and the Mercedes brand appeared with the filing of Emil Jellinek, one of the first car distributors of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG) company founded in the 19th century, who wanted the cars to bear the name of his daughter Mercedes Jellinek. The Mercedes-Benz brand was born in 1926 as a result of the merger of the Daimler and Benz companies. It turned into a separate business structure of Mercedes-Benz AG only in 2019. In turn, the name Daimler at the beginning of the 20th century was given to a whole bunch of companies that bought a license to manufacture cars from Daimler, including the famous British Daimler Motor Company. In general, the confusion did not arise out of nowhere.

Now Mercedes-Benz cars, both passenger cars and trucks, are produced by the Daimler AG concern, 9.69% of which belongs to the founder of the Chinese holding Geely, which determines the close business and technological ties between these companies. Yet together: Aston Martin and Daimler expand cooperation.

New “charged” pickup: Ford leaves F-150 Raptor with the same engine

Next year, the family of trucks will be joined by the Raptor R version, which will be equipped with a V8 engine.

Ford began selling the next-generation F-series pickup late last year. This model has remained in the list of the most popular in the States over the past few years: for example, in 2020 dealers managed to sell 787,422 pickups (12.2% less than a year earlier). The decline can be explained not only by the expectation of the release of the “fourteenth” F-series, but also by the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. Recall that the family includes a top version, it has the Raptor prefix to its name. This option first appeared in the lineup in 2009.

Typically, this performance appears later than the “regular” F-150. If we learned about the usual “fourteenth” pickup in the second half of last year, then the turn of the new Raptor came only now: the version was declassified during online presentation. The list of visual differences from the regular version includes a relief bonnet and a darkened radiator grille. The car received a different head optics: the headlights are interconnected by a line that runs along the upper edge of the grille.

The rear of the pickup also has a couple of differences: we are talking about darkened tail lights, as well as a different tailgate, which made the 2021 F-150 Raptor wider. The bumpers are made of steel, in addition, the twin tailpipes are higher than before (this affected the ground clearance: a truck with 37-inch off-road tires, this figure is 333 mm).

Chevrolet Corvette C2 will come back to life with 4WD and over 2000 hp

Irish company Ava Hyperclassic has announced the project Ava Stingray – a small-scale electric supercar inspired by the Chevrolet Corvette C2 from the 60s of the last century. Two famous designers are involved in the project – Ian Callum (a long time at Jaguar) and Peter Brock (one of the creators of the original Corvette C2).

The Chevrolet Corvette C2, aka the first Sting Ray (then the name was written in two words), is considered the most beautiful of all generations of Corvette and is highly regarded by car collectors. Its spectacular stern was at one time an object of imitation both within GM and among competitors, and today it is simply a design masterpiece with very mediocre dynamic qualities.

Ava Hyperclassic from the Irish village of Enniskerry, located in County Wicklow, decided to correct the discrepancy between the immortal appearance and archaic technical filling. Until recently, it was engaged in duty conversions: it made electric cars based on classic models of various brands, without touching their design. Ava Stingray is a more serious project in the genre of the so-called lean restomoding, that is, rethinking the original style at a new technological level. The near future of the Chevrolet Corvette: turbocharging, hybridization and more than 1000 hp!

Yet together: Aston Martin and Daimler expand cooperation

Over the next few years, the German concern Daimler, through its main automotive division Mercedes-Benz AG, will become the owner of a 20% stake in the British company Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings Plc (hereinafter, for simplicity, we will call it simply Aston Martin). The new Aston Martin models will receive a hybrid and electric powertrain developed by Daimler.

The last time we covered the position of Aston Martin in detail was in May this year, when it became known about the appearance of a new leader – Tobias Moers, who previously headed the sports division of Mercedes-AMG in the Daimler concern. Then we assumed that, under the leadership of Moers, Aston Martin would become a more independent company and eventually get rid of Mercedes-AMG contract engines, especially since in March the British showed the world a completely new V6 of their own design.

Moers started working in the British company on August 1, and now, less than three months later, it turned out that he, in fact, turned out to be Daimler’s henchman – yesterday it was announced that the German concern would become the owner of 20% of Aston Martin shares in exchange for access to modern electromobility technologies.

Recall that in 2013, Daimler bought a 5% stake in Aston Martin and began supplying the British with supercharged Mercedes-AMG V8 engines. In October 2018, Aston Martin went public to raise additional funding. This required printing more shares, so Daimler’s stake was reduced to its current 2.6%. Alas, the IPO (initial public offering) was unsuccessful: the value of shares from the starting £ 545 by May 2020 collapsed to £ 30. Today shares of Aston Martin have risen in price to 60 pounds sterling on the news of the deal with Daimler.
