The BMW i4 is the brand's first purely electrically powered model, which has been consistently designed with driving dynamics in mind from the outset. Two model variants are available for its market launch. The drive system of the BMW i4 M50 consists of one electric motor on the front and one on the rear axle, which together generate a maximum output of 400 kW/544 hp. This allows the BMW M automobile to sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. Its range, determined in the WLTP test cycle, is up to 521 kilometers. The BMW i4 eDrive40 combines a 250 kW/340 hp electric motor with classic rear-wheel drive. It accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds and has a range of up to 591 kilometers according to WLTP. The compact drive units are elastically mounted in the respective axle carriers. With a cell height of just 110 millimeters, the extremely flat high-voltage battery is located deep in the vehicle floor and is firmly connected to an aluminum thrust field and the front axle beam. The torsionally stiff and weight-optimized body, a CW value of 0.24, a long wheelbase and wide track widths create ideal conditions for typical BMW sportiness combined with high travel comfort. In addition, the BMW i4 is characterized by an overall vehicle harmony that is unique in the competitive environment. Its performance characteristics extend far beyond the rapid straight-line acceleration of a high-performance electric vehicle and include an always confident forward momentum and precisely controllable handling, even in particularly demanding driving situations. In addition to the vehicle concept, which is consistently geared to sportiness, the integrated application of all drive and chassis components also contributes to this.

The customizations continue with the various stickers available such as the “Moab” graphic on the side or the famous “1941” on the bonnet, of course referring to the symbolic date for the Jeep brand, the creation of the Willys. Plus, to accentuate the off-road disposition, both the special carry-all roof bars, for boxes, kayaks, canoes and much more, and the towing hook, to mount the specific bike carrier designed for heavier electric models.

12 April 2022 72 Views

The new KAROQ is characterised by ŠKODA’s updated emotive design language featuring crystalline elements. New design details include the wider, now hexagonal ŠKODA grille, restyled front and rear aprons, as well as slimmer and sharper LED headlights and tail lights. The daytime running lights are now split in two, and for the first time, the KAROQ can be equipped with full-LED Matrix headlights as an option. Aerodynamics have been improved by more than 9%, meaning that the SUV now boasts a drag coefficient (cd) of 0.30 and correspondingly lower CO2 emissions. This has been made possible, for example, by new alloy wheels with Aero inserts, a longer rear spoiler, side finlets on the rear window and the now covered underbody. An increased range of state-of-the-art assistance and safety systems ensures even higher levels of active and passive safety.

Rally driver of the century. Best rally driver of all time. Driver of the millennium. Even the late, great Niki Lauda called him a “genius on wheels”!

However, titles like these leave the Bavarian motorsports icon stone cold.
