And the boxy SUV hasn't changed much in almost half a century. But for 2024, Mercedes is teasing its iconic off-roader with some excitement, ahead of the EQG EV arriving later this year.<br/><br/>The base G550 ditches the V-8 for a new turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with mild-hybrid assistance via an exhaust gas turbocharger and electric auxiliary compressor. This means the base G-Class makes 443 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, while the integrated starter generator alone delivers 20 hp and 148 lb-ft. This means a total of 27 hp more than the previous model, but slightly less torque.<br/><br/>An updated nine-speed automatic transmission with torque converter provides wider gear ratios overall, while all-wheel drive with a 40-60 torque split comes standard. Even with its smaller displacement engine, the G550 still has excellent off-road ability. Three mechanical differential locks are paired with a transfer case that offers low-range off-road gearing. The same 9.5 inches of ground clearance remain, as do the truck's approach and departure angles of 30 and 31 degrees, respectively.<br/><br/>Mercedes has added an Off-Road Cockpit function to its MBUX infotainment system to aid off-road driving. The Off-Road Cockpit displays items such as vehicle position, altitude, steering angle and temperature on the 12.3-inch touchscreen and associated digital instrument cluster, allowing users to personalize the display as they see fit.

The ID.3 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer are now closely followed by the sporty electric van of the VW Commercial Vehicles division.<br/><br/>The minibus going to Europe for families who are always in a hurry comes with a four-wheel drive system as standard, thanks to its dual electric motors. Customers can choose between the standard wheelbase version combined with a 79 kWh battery and the longer wheelbase model, which benefits from a higher usable energy content of 86 kWh.<br/><br/>The engine pair is good for a total system output of 335 horsepower, allowing for both flavors to hit 62 mph in just six and a half seconds. Clearly, VW ID. The Buzz GTX will reach an electronically managed top speed of 99 mph.<br/><br/>You'll be able to tow up to 3,968 pounds with the Buzz GTX, whereas the extended derivative with the larger battery can only haul 3,527 pounds. VW doesn't specify combined torque, but notes that the rear-mounted engine is rated at 413 lb-ft, while the front engine produces 99 lb-ft.<br/><br/>Maximum charging power will depend on the battery, as the smaller pack supports 185 kW while the upgraded pack can handle 200 kW. The basic battery takes about 25 minutes to charge from 10 percent to 80 percent, while the larger one takes less than 30 minutes to charge.<br/><br/>High performance ID like other GTX models. The Buzz comes with various styling changes with redesigned bumpers, honeycomb grille and striking Cherry Red paint. There are also special standard 19-inch wheels available with two new sets of 21-inch alloys optional. Boomerang-shaped lower headlights, dark details, black headliner and sporty seats make it even more distinctive.<br/><br/>Elsewhere, the family hauler gets a slightly larger touchscreen (12.9 inches instead of 12 inches), a new optional head-up display and illuminated touchscreen sliders for air conditioning and audio volume. When you opt for the long-wheelbase model, VW sells its largest-ever panoramic sunroof, which goes from opaque to transparent at the touch of a button, at an extra cost.<br/><br/>Identity. Buzz GTX goes on sale in Europe this summer.<br/><br/>VW will bring the electric van to the US later this year exclusively with a longer wheelbase, three-row seating and an 86 kWh battery, but without the GTX badging. The equivalent US model will feature a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup. The US-bound model will be imported from Hanover, Germany, so it's unlikely to qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit.<br/><br/>Source:https://www.motor1.com/news/713194/vw-id-buzz-gtx/")

It will be undergoing a series of tests until late April, aiming at the delivery of the first model, planned for late summer 2024.<br/><br/>MCXtrema, a non-road-homologated race car produced in 62 units, was created to break the mould and invent new paradigms. The epitome of Maserati DNA and of the extraordinary performance characteristic of everything the 100% Italian brand produces, MCXtrema offers up evidence of its disruptive attitude to racing between the curbs of the circuit where it could be seen in action in a series of fundamental tests to gather the data needed for the final tune-ups. The Trident’s exclusive creation is one of the brand’s boldest cars in terms of development and is an evolution of the Maserati MC20 super sports car, its inspiration and basis.<br/><br/>In February, it had its first official outing at the Autodromo Varano de' Melegari (Parma), where MCXtrema was taken to the track by Maserati chief test driver Andrea Bertolini, one of the most successful drivers in the GT class with four world titles aboard the glorious MC12, who has been working on its development in the dynamic simulator since the early stages.<br/><br/>The February shakedown and subsequent milestones to refine its performance have been the ideal setting to unleash the full power of the 730-hp (540-kW) 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, based on the Maserati Nettuno and taken to the next level.<br/><br/>MCXtrema has benefited from the latest and most advanced equipment in the world that Maserati has access to. Fundamental contributions have been made by the Virtual Analysis team, using the cutting-edge technology in the Maserati dynamic simulator, and by the Powertrain Calibration team, in charge of managing the enormous power delivered by the Nettuno engine. The experience gained during the development of the Maserati MC20, the in-depth characterisation of each component and the stringent bench tests on the engine have guaranteed the greatest accuracy in the simulation, ensuring that an extremely meaningful car would reach the track testing stages with figures similar to the validations in the simulator, required purely for real-world fine tuning.")

Unique features include integral active steering as standard and 20-inch alloy wheels with PAX tyres, which allow the vehicle to continue driving even in the event of a complete loss of air pressure. Only a few details distinguish the special Protection models from the standard BMW 7 Series with M Sport Package. The BMW 7 Series Protection is powered by a 390 kW/530 hp V8 engine. The BMW i7 Protection is the world's first certified special protection sedan with a all-electric drive. Its two electric motors generate a system output of up to 400 kW/544 hp.<br/><br/>Source : BMW")

_an-electric-van-with-335-hp-new-volkswagen-id-buzz-gtx-2024.webp "Available with two wheelbases and two batteries.<br/><br/>Following the launch of the ID.4 GTX and ID.5 GTX in 2021, Volkswagen doubled down on its high-performance EV lineup last week. The ID.3 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer are now closely followed by the sporty electric van of the VW Commercial Vehicles division.<br/><br/>The minibus going to Europe for families who are always in a hurry comes with a four-wheel drive system as standard, thanks to its dual electric motors. Customers can choose between the standard wheelbase version combined with a 79 kWh battery and the longer wheelbase model, which benefits from a higher usable energy content of 86 kWh.<br/><br/>The engine pair is good for a total system output of 335 horsepower, allowing for both flavors to hit 62 mph in just six and a half seconds. Clearly, VW ID. The Buzz GTX will reach an electronically managed top speed of 99 mph.<br/><br/>You'll be able to tow up to 3,968 pounds with the Buzz GTX, whereas the extended derivative with the larger battery can only haul 3,527 pounds. VW doesn't specify combined torque, but notes that the rear-mounted engine is rated at 413 lb-ft, while the front engine produces 99 lb-ft.<br/><br/>Maximum charging power will depend on the battery, as the smaller pack supports 185 kW while the upgraded pack can handle 200 kW. The basic battery takes about 25 minutes to charge from 10 percent to 80 percent, while the larger one takes less than 30 minutes to charge.<br/><br/>High performance ID like other GTX models. The Buzz comes with various styling changes with redesigned bumpers, honeycomb grille and striking Cherry Red paint. There are also special standard 19-inch wheels available with two new sets of 21-inch alloys optional. Boomerang-shaped lower headlights, dark details, black headliner and sporty seats make it even more distinctive.<br/><br/>Elsewhere, the family hauler gets a slightly larger touchscreen (12.9 inches instead of 12 inches), a new optional head-up display and illuminated touchscreen sliders for air conditioning and audio volume. When you opt for the long-wheelbase model, VW sells its largest-ever panoramic sunroof, which goes from opaque to transparent at the touch of a button, at an extra cost.<br/><br/>Identity. Buzz GTX goes on sale in Europe this summer.<br/><br/>VW will bring the electric van to the US later this year exclusively with a longer wheelbase, three-row seating and an 86 kWh battery, but without the GTX badging. The equivalent US model will feature a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup. The US-bound model will be imported from Hanover, Germany, so it's unlikely to qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit.<br/><br/>Source:https://www.motor1.com/news/713194/vw-id-buzz-gtx/")

Two Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, equipped with the iconic 6.2L HEMI V8 engine producing 717 Hp, will take on the role of Official Safety Cars of the competition; one Dodge Durango SRT, with 6.4-litre HEMI V8 engine producing 475 hp, and one Dodge Durango Hellcat SUV, with 6.2-litre HEMI V8 engine producing 710 hp, will instead serve as the Race Direction and FIM Safety Officer official cars.<br/>All models are production cars, with no special mods, ready to face all the complex and stressful track operations that normally undergo in a such a packed weekend of world-class racing competition.<br/>Furthermore, the American brand took the spotlight also during the exciting award ceremonies after each race, through three visibility sources: the Dodge Brand displayed on the top podium step, “product on track” billboards, and with a third Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye as a static Expo Car alongside the podium.")
_bmw-protection-x5-off-road.webp "As the most powerful, dynamic and best-selling special protection vehicle of its kind in the world, the BMW X5 Protection VR6 also plays a special role in the brand's model range. Its design is almost indistinguishable from that of the standard model, giving it a discreet appearance with a sporty touch. Its integrated protective equipment was already taken into account during the series development of the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). This includes body armour and safety glass, which are specially designed for each model. As a result, the BMW X5 Protection VR6 also meets the requirements of the Association of Test Centres for Attack-Resistant Materials and Constructions (VPAM) with regard to bullet and blast resistance.<br/><br/>The chassis technology of the BMW X5 Protection VR6 is precisely tuned to its high engine output and individual weight balance. It is equipped as standard with the Adaptive M Chassis Professional, which, in addition to the M Sport Differential, includes an integrated active steering system and active roll stabilisation. Its 390 kW/530 hp V8 engine delivers outstanding dynamics, while the standard sport brake system ensures consistently high stopping power, even under intensive use.")
_maserati-mcxtrema-the-39beast39-is-unleashed-on-the-track-ahead-of-first-delivery.webp "Maserati MCXtrema, the Trident's uncompromising 730-hp ‘beast’ has returned to be unleashed into its natural environment: the track. It will be undergoing a series of tests until late April, aiming at the delivery of the first model, planned for late summer 2024.<br/><br/>MCXtrema, a non-road-homologated race car produced in 62 units, was created to break the mould and invent new paradigms. The epitome of Maserati DNA and of the extraordinary performance characteristic of everything the 100% Italian brand produces, MCXtrema offers up evidence of its disruptive attitude to racing between the curbs of the circuit where it could be seen in action in a series of fundamental tests to gather the data needed for the final tune-ups. The Trident’s exclusive creation is one of the brand’s boldest cars in terms of development and is an evolution of the Maserati MC20 super sports car, its inspiration and basis.<br/><br/>In February, it had its first official outing at the Autodromo Varano de' Melegari (Parma), where MCXtrema was taken to the track by Maserati chief test driver Andrea Bertolini, one of the most successful drivers in the GT class with four world titles aboard the glorious MC12, who has been working on its development in the dynamic simulator since the early stages.<br/><br/>The February shakedown and subsequent milestones to refine its performance have been the ideal setting to unleash the full power of the 730-hp (540-kW) 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, based on the Maserati Nettuno and taken to the next level.<br/><br/>MCXtrema has benefited from the latest and most advanced equipment in the world that Maserati has access to. Fundamental contributions have been made by the Virtual Analysis team, using the cutting-edge technology in the Maserati dynamic simulator, and by the Powertrain Calibration team, in charge of managing the enormous power delivered by the Nettuno engine. The experience gained during the development of the Maserati MC20, the in-depth characterisation of each component and the stringent bench tests on the engine have guaranteed the greatest accuracy in the simulation, ensuring that an extremely meaningful car would reach the track testing stages with figures similar to the validations in the simulator, required purely for real-world fine tuning.")
