How consequently the BMW Group treads new paths is shown among other things by its cooperations. For the complex requirements of the BMW iX for example, previous engineering tools were no longer sufficient. This was one of the reasons why BMW contacted Epic Games as early as 2015 and shortly afterwards became the first automobile manufacturer to introduce a mixed reality system in vehicle development that was consistently developed using components from the computer games industry. It is based on the so-called Unreal Engine 4 from Epic Games.

New Fiat 500 launch in Israel - Olivier François speech

8 July 2021 37 Views

Olivier François’ inspirational video message was made on the roof of the Lingotto complex in Turin, a symbolic location that brings together the Italian brand’s glorious history and its most famous model, with a vision for a more sustainable future. Lingotto was the factory where the 500 was created, and its roof played host to the legendary track on which the first 500 was tested. A true test track with 2 raised surfaces. The 500 symbolically set off from here “to conquer the world”. And it is here on the roof of the Lingotto complex – a former factory that featured as one of the first conversions of industrial archaeology in the 1990s – where the past and future will come together to create the largest hanging garden in Europe. In addition, here at Lingotto, the innovative structure which astonished even the architect Le Corbusier, is the new Casa 500 museum, nestled within the prestigious Pinacoteca Agnelli art gallery. It explores the past and future, the culture and the icon that acts as an ambassador for Made in Italy around the world.

Porsche has set a new lap record for road-approved production cars on the 20.8-kilometre Nürburgring Nordschleife in a 911 GT2 RS fitted with the Manthey Performance Kit. The best time of 6:43.300 minutes was achieved on 14 June, in the presence of a notary, with Porsche development driver Lars Kern at the wheel of the 515 kW (700 PS) 911 GT2 RS. The new Performance Kit was developed as part of a close collaboration between Porsche's engineers in Weissach and Manthey’s Nordschleife specialists in Meuspath. The circuit-focused Porsche Tequipment components are sold via Porsche Centres. The plan was to beat the existing 6:48.047 road-car record. Kern achieved this with flying colours at the wheel of the 911 GT2 RS, beating the previous time by 4.747 seconds on road-legal Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tyres, at an average speed of 185.87 km/h.
