With the 911 GT2 RS with Manthey Performance-Kit, Porsche has set a new record for road-legal production sports cars on the 20.8 kilometer Nürburgring-Nordschleife. In the best time of 6:43.300 minutes achieved in the presence of a notary on June 14, Porsche development driver Lars Kern piloted the 515 kW (700 hp) 911 GT2 RS. The new performance kit was developed in close collaboration between Porsche engineers in Weissach and the Nordschleife specialists at Manthey in Meuspath. The components from Porsche Tequipment, which have been optimized for circuit use, are sold through the Porsche Centers. The declared goal was to beat the previously valid record for road cars of 6:48.047 seconds. Lars Kern succeeded brilliantly at the wheel of the 911 GT2 RS. On Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R street-legal tires, Kern beat the previous record by 4.747 seconds. In the process, he achieved an average speed of 185.87 km/h.

The MINI Cooper S 5-door Trailer

23 February 2021 26 Views

An ideal starting point from which to discover Wiesbaden is the Historic pentagon, named after a road layout created at the beginning of the 19th century. The MINI Cooper S 5-door moves with the brand’s hallmark agility through the narrow streets of this city centre, established as far back as the Middle Ages. The MINI 5-door, the first five-door compact car in the British brand’s history, is a prime example of the modern interpretation of creative use of space. Its wheelbase, a mere 72 millimetres longer than the MINI 3-door, not only provides considerably more leg room and a third rear seat but also increases the luggage compartment capacity by 67 to 278 litres.

BMW i Vision Circular - Inform Snippets

8 September 2021 54 Views

With the BMW i Vision Circular, the BMW Group is demonstrating the consistent design of a car according to the principles of a circular economy. The overall design goal of this visionary vehicle was to create a vehicle that is optimized for closed material cycles and achieves a rate of 100% recycled materials or 100% recyclability. In addition to bio-based and certified raw materials, materials that have already passed through a product life cycle – so-called secondary materials – are used for this purpose. This also applies to the energy storage system: The solid-state battery of the BMW i Vision Circular is 100% recyclable and almost completely made from recycled materials. At the same time, it will achieve a considerably higher energy density with significantly fewer of the most valuable resources. “We have included circularity in our concept right from the start when designing the BMW i Vision Circular. That's why this visionary vehicle is full of innovative ideas that combine sustainability with new and inspiring aesthetics – we call this approach Circular Design,” explains Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design. Circular Design is based on the four principles RE:THINK, RE:DUCE, RE:USE and RE:CYCLE.

The production of the Audi Q4 e-tron - Assembly line

7 May 2021 55 Views

The new era of technology on which Audi has embarked can also be experienced in the interior of the Q4 e-tron and the Q4 Sportback e-tron. The instrument panel introduces itself with progressive elegance and underlines the airy feeling of spaciousness. The cockpit features a distinctly three-dimensional design, and its geometric volumes are interrelated in an electrifying way. In both the electric SUVs, the operating and display units take on the function of design elements more than ever. The digital instrument for the driver is embedded like a diamond between two volumes – a short one on the left-hand side, which incorporates an air vent, and a long one on the right-hand side. It extends all the way to the front passenger door and integrates further air vents. The central MMI touch display, which appears clean and light, occupies the space in front of it. It is tilted toward the driver and is positioned within ergonomically easy reach. A lean inlay, known as the tech layer, lies above the display and connects it with the instrument panel. The choice of surface materials for this panel includes open-pore lime wood, aluminum in two different designs, and plastic. The inlay in the S line interior will also be available as an alternative shortly after market launch with an innovative, anthracite-colored technical fabric that is made partly of recycled materials.
