Ferrari F8 Tributo Novitec N-Largo. Under the N-Largo brand, the German tuning studio Novitec produces only the most exclusive and luxurious cars, and today the assembly of 15 custom Ferrari F8 Tributos from this series has started.

Let’s start with the exterior. Its engineers complement the body kit made of ultra-strong carbon fiber, which is tested in a wind tunnel for efficiency.

Of particular noteworthy details are the arches widened by a total of 130 mm, the re-cut bumpers at the front and rear, as well as the front spoiler with flaps, which fights against the lift force that occurs at high speeds.

No less impressive are the diffuser with a rear wing and the bonnet with an intricately shaped air intake.

In front of the sports car, light-alloy forged wheels of size 21 flaunt, at the rear — the same size larger.

Their ideal positioning is ensured by a proprietary air suspension tuning module, and to overcome road obstacles, the front end can be quickly raised a few centimeters.

Lightyear One 2022. Lightyear One solar electric prototype breaks 710 km autonomy record

In the near future, there will be electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles in the industry. But there is another technology in electrification, albeit not as advanced. We are talking about solar cars.

Lightyear One is getting closer to market launch. At this point, prototypes have reached an excellent maximum range.

The Dutch will open order books by the end of the year, so they are already at the stage of testing the autonomy of the model. The novelty will be sold in a limited edition in 2022.

The new solar-powered car covered at least 710 kilometers with a fully charged battery. That being said, there is one special detail that should be taken into account: the maximum speed during the test was 85 km / h, covering the distance in 9 hours.

The test also checked the operation of the solar modules, battery power, power consumption of the cooling system, wheel motors and control software of the entire assembly.

Genesis GV80 2022: debut crossover of premium sub-brand Hyundai in stylish guise.
Not so long ago, only sedans were in the assets of the premium Genesis sub-brand.

However, the desire to be in trend makes its own adjustments, and therefore the first crossover of the brand is presented to the world — Genesis GV80 2022.

It will receive an ultramodern appearance, luxurious and comfortable interior, as well as excellent engines, the characteristics of which will significantly expand the scope of potential use of the car.

It is obvious that restyling of this car will not be required very soon, since all the current trends and traditions of automotive fashion are taken into account in it, and an adequate cost will attract the attention of buyers to the new product.

Appearance

As can be judged from the photo, the appearance of the car turned out to be completely unlike anything produced by the brand before.

The new body has received impressive dimensions and bright unique decorative elements that make the car stand out in the stream.

BMW M240i xDrive 2022. The new BMW branding is not necessarily vertical nostrils. Before us is an alternative design option, and this time the creators experimented not with the nostrils, but with the shape of the lighting equipment (both front and rear) and bumpers.

However, in the title photo there is a car with an M-body kit, and the basic version (the white car in the pictures) is a little quieter.

This is the new BMW Coupé of the second series. And, as stated, in the form of headlights, the designers tried to beat the look of the legendary two-door BMW 1602 of the sixties.

Did it work out? At the same time, LED headlights are already «in the base», and matrix optics are offered for an extra charge.

The nostrils also have a twist: their vertical slats can be closed like blinds, if the electronics considers that the cooling system is operating normally and its efficiency is sufficient.

The new coupe has nothing to do with the four-door Gran Coupe of the second series. If the sedan of the F44 family is built on a front-wheel drive platform UKL2 with a transverse engine arrangement, but for the mischievous G42 coupe, the classic layout with almost perfect axle weight distribution is preserved!

Farewell Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae: forced V12 and 2.8 seconds to «hundred.»

Production of the model will be completed this year, but the Italian manufacturer has decided to say goodbye with a limited edition with 350 coupes and 250 roadsters.

Lamborghini began producing the Aventador sports car in 2011, body types — coupe and roadster.

The “peak” for this niche model turned out to be 2019 — then the dealers of the Italian brand sold 539 cars in Europe, and in the “covid” 2020 the indicator “slipped” to 357 units, that is, the annual decline was 33.8%.

This year, the negative dynamics persists, but it is no longer so noticeable: in January-May, customers bought 142 cars, which is 1.4% less than in the first five months of 2020.
