Description:
At peak power, both models can deliver more than 1,100 PS. In combination with various lightweight construction and aerodynamics measures, these all-electric GT sports cars raise the bar in terms of driving dynamics. A more powerful and efficient pulse inverter that uses silicon carbide as the semiconductor material is used on the rear axle. The first Taycan Turbo GT models should be delivered to customers from this spring.<br/><br/>Not yet on the market, but already a record holder<br/>The Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package earned the title of fastest electric series-production car at the Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca, in California, on 23 February 2024. With a time of 1:27.87min., Porsche development driver Lars Kern put in a faster lap than any other driver has before with a road-approved electric car.<br/><br/>Not long before that, a pre-production version of this same new model set a new class record on the Nürburgring. Kern was also at the wheel on that occasion and posted a lap time of 7:07.55 min. on the Nordschleife. This official lap time is a whopping 26 seconds faster than Kern recorded for his last record lap in a Taycan Turbo S Sport sedan equipped with the performance package back in August 2022. This time also stands as the current record for series-production electric cars and also makes the Turbo GT the fastest four-door of any powertrain type on the Nürburgring.

_biden-administration39s-tariffs-on-chinese-goods-raise-concerns-for-e-bike-industry.webp "The Biden Administration has implemented new tariffs on imported goods from China, including electric vehicles, causing concerns for the e-bike industry as most e-bikes in the US come from China. The specifics of the tariffs and their impact on e-bikes are unclear, but the administration's reasoning is to protect American manufacturers from unfair trade practices. The Trump administration's 2018 tariffs initially targeted electric bicycles with a 25% duty, but these were eventually granted multiple exemptions.")
_new-cupra-formentor-design-preview.webp "The latest CUPRA Formentor was unveiled to the world on the 29th of April, but it’s a car that emerged five years ago as the first model designed and developed exclusively by CUPRA. Since then, it’s become the company’s bestselling model and will now be its new icon. A few days before the World Premiere, CUPRA Head of Design, Jorge Diez, went to take a look at it during a photo shoot. His words on entering the set speak volumes, “It’s provocative, it’s authentic, it’s going to surprise the world.” And that’s exactly what it’s done. Achieving this with a model that was already a success, is the result of a restyling in which the essence of the brand can be seen in every detail and which Jorge explains as he looks over the CUPRA Formentor.")
_man-transforms-back-to-the-future-cars-into-bizarre-creations.webp "A MAN who collects DeLorean cars has transformed the classic Back To The Future vehicles into a monster truck, a limousine, a hovercraft, a convertible and a Time Machine Replica. Rich Weissensel, a software engineer, is fanatic about the two-door sports car and owns five custom creations – including a stretched DeLorean Limousine - and three stock DeLoreans. Rich has re-modeled the stainless-steel shape of the iconic cars into bizarre and brilliant automotive creations in an ongoing, 14-year series of projects. The projects started after Rich met the car's founder John DeLorean at the Cleveland DeLorean Car Show in 2000 and showed him some of his ideas and sketches. Rich from Chicago, Illinois, built a custom hovercraft using the stainless steel panels of the DeLorean and a hovercraft cushion which allows the DeLorean to float over any surface.")

At its heart is a range of extraordinary powertrain options that mix the most advanced combustion technology and the pinnacle of the industry’s push towards electrification.<br/>Available in two body styles available – 5-door and Sportstourer – the CUPRA Leon expands its appeal, allowing customers to choose the vehicle that best fits their lifestyle, without needing to compromise on performance, comfort or practicality.")
_peel-p50-the-world39s-smallest-car.webp "MEASURING in at just 100cm tall - and 99cm wide - the Peel P50 is reported the world’s smallest car to ever go into production. The three-wheeled microcar was originally made from 1962 to 1965 by the Peel Engineering Company and was listed in the 2010 Guinness World Records as the smallest production car ever made, with a weight of just 59 kilograms. Of the 50 P50s ever produced, only 27 are still known to exist today. Canadian, Greg, is one of the owners of these rare cars, and he told Future Studios Cars: “The P50 came out of the Isle of Man, basically the concept was a little car that you can use in the city”. With its DKW 49cc engine, the P50 has a top speed of 37mph and 4.2 horsepower. “It’s a one-seater with one headlight - I also love how it has three wheels, the back wheel is the one that is driving it with a chain from a little moped engine,” Greg said. With its uniquely small size, the P50 is not the most practical car to use. “There’s no reverse because you have to get out of the car and go around to the reversing handle, pick up the car and turn it around then get back in,” explained Greg. Although this is undoubtedly a small car, it has a big history. Greg said: “There was a Russian freighter that came into the port of Vancouver, they used it to drive around their huge freighter on the deck but then the refrigerator broke so when they came back, they traded this car in on a refrigerator”. Today, these cars are incredibly difficult to come by and are incredibly expensive - in 2016, a P50 was sold at auction for over $176,000.")

Car-crazy customiser Shawn Cormier, from Ontario, Canada, spent five years building the vehicle - whose name is a pun on Frankenstein's monster. The hotrod is constructed around the base of a World War II brand gun cure from 1944, with a Chevy drive train, a small block Chevy turbo 350 trim mission, a standard four gear in the back and the top part of the cab is a 1947 Mercury truck. To Keep up with Tankenstein.")
