Description:
The UK is home to the Monster Truck Nationals and in 2019 English monster legend, Mike Murty attempted a world first with his truck ‘Big Pete.’ Mike told FutureStudiosCars: “We have planned for many years, and for the first time it will be seen this weekend - the world’s first monster truck and trailer, which we designed to be able to crush the cars.” Powered by a Big-Block Chevrolet V8 engine, three-speed automatic gearbox, and sporting Mega X BIB tyres - Big Pete is known to jump 15 feet and always puts on an amazing show. Mike explained why it was so special, “this is one of the only working monster trucks out there, still running leaf-sprung suspension - most drivers can't handle it because it is so hard on the body.” He continued, “it looks totally different from any other monster truck out there.” The first thing that anybody sees when faced with Big Pete is the truck’s most prominent feature - huge tyres, which cost over $4500 each. “The pressure that we run in these tires helps with the suspension”, Mike explained.Big Pete’s unique body is built with genuine steel and aluminum. \

_the-new-kia-picanto-exterior-design.webp "Kia has announced the prices and equipment details of the fundamentally revised Picanto. The Kia small car will be presented in the 2025 model year with a strikingly changed front and rear appearance, characterized by the new Kia design philosophy “Opposites United”, new exterior and interior colors, new high-tech elements from front collision warning with turning function and active blind spot assistants to LED Headlights and a reinforced body. Despite its compact external dimensions, the Picanto has a spacious, comfortable interior and up to 1,010 liters of storage space. This makes it also suitable for households that need a fully-fledged second car. The efficient 1.0 and 1.2 liter petrol engines are still available for drive, both of which are also available with an automated manual transmission. The standard equipment includes, among other things, a navigation system including the Kia Connect online services and air conditioning. The revised model is available in four versions including the decidedly sporty Picanto GT-Line. In addition, the limited special models “Launch Edition” with exclusive elements and colors will be offered for the introduction of Spirit and GT-line. All versions can be ordered now, with the first deliveries taking place in July. Prices start at 16,690 euros and, as usual with the brand, include the 7-year Kia manufacturer's warranty.")
