Expand Know what? I think I seem to like the Audi eTrons, though they are based on the Porsche Taycan and the VW ID looks like they out perform them both. Big problems coming up for the competition and yes those cars look good. With the current gen petrol performance cars coming to their end of life cycle, maybe these could be your last petrol performance cars.

Expand Wider track is fine (after all even the GR Yaris is the same)...but did they really have to use that light design and bumper shape ? The Yaris' stormtrooper helmet look seems to be more acceptable than this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummybr Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 BMW i3 sales in the US will end this month, and it looks like by 2022 it will be phased out. Its a car that never achieved the high sales numbers expected but did prove that BMW had the knowhow to make an electric car in 2013.

Well to drive it was nice and quiet and you could just bring the car to a halt by taking your foot off the accelerator. Kind of more powerful and agile than the Leaf I would say. Also much better response than a small car. They still manage to retain more mileage from the batteries since you can replace them easily using brand new batteries.

Gummybr Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 When you talk of a CEO of a car company (internationally) you think of old guys / gals who are close to their retirement age. Unless of course its Mr. Musk. The CEO of Bugatti (yes the supercar) is a 33 year old guy with a mixed background and a BMW being the cause of him getting into EV's. https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/rimac-and-bugatti-ceo-next-plans-1234636964/ Mate Rimac who produced the Rimac Nevera the fastest accelerating production car in the world is the new CEO of Bugatti and owns 55% of it (balance owned by Porsche). Basically VW has given him the shares without a cent in the transaction and he is supposed to bring in EV tech to Bugatti in the coming years.

Gummybr Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Well the European concepts of the future seem to be getting ugly. First it is the BMW XM (yes its a BMW and not the Citroen XM, apparently they had an agreement on the name plate) the most powerful BMW M model Not to be outdone Mercedes-Benz have come up with a Maybach off road concept, asking the question why? Inspiration from Grand Tour where Jeremy drove a souped up Bentley? We all know where the G Classes ended up and where this would end up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gummybr Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Something that interested me was the launch of the BMW M4CSL which was unveiled yesterday. Well on paper it looks brilliant (wow factor) with all that weight saving etc etc. Then they went on to say that it is the fastest BMW around the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife circuit with a time of 7.15.677secs in the current track set up and 7.20.207secs in the complete circuit. This makes me wonder what a beast the old Skyline GTR was when it went under 7mins in the 1990's heck even the R35 in 2010's. For sure todays cars are more powerful and has better traction, suspension and braking. The car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
