The new McLaren Artura Spider - The electric motor

The electric motor is powered by a battery pack of five lithium-ion modules, providing a usable energy capacity of 7.4 kWh and an increased EV range of 33 km (21 miles). The battery is cooled using cooling rails, and the assembly - including a power distribution unit that transfers battery power from the rear of the vehicle to the auxiliary units in the front - is mounted on a carbon fiber structural floor. This assembly is then bolted to the rear base of the monocoque, optimizing rigidity, weight distribution and impact protection. Overall, the Artura's compact hybrid components - including the 88 kg battery pack and 15.4 kg electric motor - contribute just 130 kg to the total weight, a performance that is instrumental in the new Spider achieving its best-in-class weight figures. The instant torque of the electric motor and the 605 hp of the twin-turbocharged V6 engine give the Artura razor-sharp throttle response and acceleration across the board, whether idling or in gear. The Artura Spider's official figures of 0-100km/h in 3.0 seconds, 0-200km/h in 8.4 seconds and 0-300km/h in 21.6 seconds illustrate the performance level of the super sports car, which extends to a top speed limited to 330km/h.

101-year-old drives Ford Mustang Mach-E – 90 years after first learning to drive in a Model T

27 August 2021 48 Views

Born in 1920, Harold Baggott, had his first taste of getting behind the wheel of the Model T aged 10, driving the family’s milkman’s delivery float on a farm. He went on to get his license in 1936 (the first year they were introduced), and purchased his first car, a Ford 8 Popular in 1937 for £100 and a Ford Anglia the next year. Since then the family has owned 20 Fords privately, as well as Ford commercial vehicles in chassis form, converted into coaches for a fleet of 140 run by their travel and coach business. Mr Baggott was reminded of his Model T experiences with rides in a 1915 model from Ford’s heritage collection, before moving bang up to date and behind the Mustang Mach-E’s steering wheel. Driving 15-year-old Felix, who has ambitions to be a racing driver, and his 12-year-old brother Charlie, three miles from Beaulieu to former shipbuilding village Bucklers Hard, Mr Baggott was struck by the quietness of electric motoring.

The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class All Terrain Design Preview

20 August 2021 75 Views

For those who find a conventional estate car less than suitable off-road, and an SUV too high-legged, Mercedes-Benz now offers an all-rounder as an alternative in the C-Class segment: the C-Class All-Terrain. Following the introduction of the successful All-Terrain concept with the E-Class in spring 2017, the C-Class is now also launching as a second multi-talent with a striking look and versatile capabilities. With around 40 millimetres more ground clearance than the conventional C-Class Estate, 4MATIC all-wheel drive as standard and two off-road driving modes, the C-Class All-Terrain makes light work of light terrain such as unmetalled tracks with its larger wheels. The off-road design features include the distinctive radiator grille, the special bumpers, the simulated underride guard at the front and rear and the wheel arch linings in matt dark grey. In addition, the crossover model features many highlights of the just recently launched new C‑Class. These include efficient four-cylinder engines with 48-volt technology, the adaptive and intuitive MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, and the latest generation of driving assistance systems. DIGITAL LIGHT (optional equipment) includes a special off-road light. The C-Class All-Terrain will celebrate its world premiere at the International Motor Show in Munich in September, and will reach European dealers later this year.
