Maserati GranTurismo Zéda: the last in line

The Maserati GranTurismo is a fairly iconic model although somewhat forgotten. It was first introduced in 2007 and since then it has retained the same platform while some minor updates arrived. Its history has always been linked to that of the Maserati GranCabrio, its convertible version, with which it shares qualities and mechanical range. Now it’s time to say goodbye to these models as we knew them so far and the Maserati GranTurismo Zéda is their last tribute.

It is a one-off, a unique unit that has been created taking the base of the GranTurismo 2018. With this specimen, an end is put to a stage where that 4.7-liter atmospheric V8 mechanics of Ferrari origin and a power reigned up to 460 hp. The Maserati GranTurismo Zéda will be the last to take it, since afterwards, the new innovation plan of the Italian brand will begin to be applied, in which it will be committed to electrification and autonomous driving.

And if we return to that unique GranTurismo Zéda, we have to say that it is a work of the Stile Maserati Center which has focused on a very striking exterior decoration. This copy, responsible for linking past and future of the brand, receives a gradient of colors that represents that evolution. It starts at the back with a clear satin effect changing to a burnished metallic color. In the central part it is emphasized and ends up mutating the blue Maserati so alive that it appears in the front of the coupe.

Mitsubishi Xpander Cross: minivan with crossover look

The Mitsubishi Xpander is a very important example for the Japanese brand. It was first introduced in Indonesia in 2017 and is currently ranked as the fourth best-selling model worldwide. That has made this minivan can expand its range with a new personality. This is the Mitsubishi Xpander Cross, which will first reach the Indonesian market and then be introduced in other countries in Southeast Asia.

What has been done, in this case, is to provide the minivan with a more robust and differentiated crossover aesthetic. For this, formulas already seen in other Mitsubishi models are applied, with that Dynamic Shield on the front (similar to the Eclipse Cross). Also noteworthy are the narrow headlights, the protections at the bottom of the body, the roof bars or the black molding at the top of the gate. It comes with new 17-inch wheels and two additional colors are added to its palette.

Volkspod, the minimoto made with fins of Volkswagen Beetle

Imagination has no limits. The reuse of old car parts to give life to other models has always been the order of the day as who says, but use them to create a minimoto? We bet that’s something you haven’t seen very often. The Volkspod is a good example of what can be done with a little ingenuity and parts of a classic Volkswagen Beetle. Brent Walter, who describes himself as the “manufacturer and builder of a wide variety of things,” was the author of this minimoto inspired by the Beetle Type 1. Brent took the bulbous fender from each end of the car to bring life to life.

Each piece is equipped with a front and rear headlight of the donor car, so that when two “Volkspod” come together, they can make up almost a complete car. There are not many technical details about this creation, but we know that under the skin there is a custom chassis that houses a 79 cc engine. It probably has the same (or more) power-to-weight ratio as original Volkswagen Beetle. When it was launched in 1936, the “Beetle” had a block of four opposite cylinders (boxer) of 986 cc and 22.5 hp. In 1941 it increased its displacement to 1,131 cc and 31 HP, to 1,600 cc and 50 HP in the 70.

Lexus UX Tennis Cup Edition, new special edition, very limited

Undoubtedly, the Lexus UX is the model that is taking the Japanese brand to a new dimension if we refer to sales volume in Europe. This compact SUV combines good finishes and hybrid mechanics in a not very large size, of course, as we could see in our test. And nowadays the range is growing with the arrival of the new Lexus UX Tennis Cup Edition.

This new special edition is limited to 30 units, a figure chosen because in 2019 the 30th anniversary of the brand is celebrated. The main reason for its appearance on the market consists in commemoration of the sponsorship of the Davis Cup Madrid Finals brand that will be held from November 18 to 24 in Madrid. For a price of € 38,500, the Lexus UX Tennis Cup Edition starts from the F Sport finish which has the sportier front grille and differentiated bumpers. We can also find differentiating details, such as the front and rear protectors, as well as the side skirts, all of them in a green called Tennis Green.

Mercedes already has its updated Immendingen Technology and Testing Center ready

Mercedes is in the process of converting its playground located in Immendingen, Germany, into a development center for future technologies, that is, electric and autonomous cars. Known as the Mercedes-Benz Testing and Technology Center, it covers about 520 hectares and includes dozens of tracks, whose designs were executed by Hermann Tilke, author of some Formula 1 circuits. After three and a half years of construction, the Immendingen Testing and Technology Center officially opened its doors in September 2018. The town of Immendingen is located in the state of Baden-Württemberg, 130 kilometers south of Stuttgart and 40 kilometers north of Radolfzell, on Lake Constance. It will be the new home where the brand’s future technologies will have more than 30 test and evaluation sections.

Among them there are different types of roads and signs that are found throughout the world to ensure that Mercedes autonomous driving systems can be tested in multiple regions. Examples of the types of roads include steep and narrow passageways as in the Alps, wide and multi-lane roads as in North America, and tedious traffic of stops and exits as in the main European cities. A lot of traffic situations can be realistically simulated in the test area. Everybody can calculate a lot through a computer, but in the end driving tests on appropriate roads we find that reality always has surprises that the computer has not considered.

MINI John Cooper Works GP 2020: teeny but bully

We dreamed of the launch of the new John Cooper Works GP 2020 MINI since we saw that first prototype two years ago. The most radical version of the MINI 3 doors was only a matter of time. Now it has finally been presented at the Los Angeles Hall and its arrival is announced in March 2020. As was already known, it is a limited edition of 3,000 units that will be manufactured at the brand’s Oxford plant.

The name John Cooper Works has always been synonymous with maximum sportsmanship and the addition of the acronym GP refers to how appropriate it is for circuit. In fact, you could say that this copy is the most performance that the brand has ever launched. He wants to leave behind his predecessor in every way and for this he assembles the most powerful MINI mechanics, the same that we have already seen in other copies such as the Clubman John Cooper Works or the Countryman John Cooper Works. The new MINI John Cooper Works GP develops 306 HP and 450 Nm of torque. The only downside we get that is only available with the eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, so there will be no option to mount a manual transmission in this version. Despite this, its performance is quite outstanding, since it is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.2 seconds and reaching a maximum speed of 265 km / h. It is striking that the Clubman and Countryman John Cooper Works accelerate faster because they carry all4 all-wheel drive, while this is forward (although it has mechanical differential lock).

The familiar Ford Mustang that could have been and did not come to fruition


We already know the Ford Mustang Mach-E. A car that bears the mythical pony car logo and at the same time has four doors, moves with electricity and can have all-wheel drive. Not to mention its interior, closer to that of a Tesla Model 3 than to any model of the brand. Does this lead us to think that maybe there is a family, within the brand, of Mustang with different bodies?

It is the first time that Mustang horses feed on electricity instead of gasoline, but the idea of ​​creating a Mustang with a more familiar look is not new. At the beginning of the 60s it was experimented with numerous Mustang prototypes that never reached production. There were from two-seaters to a four-door sedan in 1963. The meninges continued to squeeze even after the first Ford Mustang was launched in 1964. So much so that they even shuffled a shooting brake in 1966.

Like the fact that Robert Cumberford asked to finance the development of a Ford Mustang familiar, using one of the first coupes of the production line. The design had so much in the market that many dreamed of doing things using it as a base.
