The striking accents on the instrument panel, trim and seats in the new color "Code Orange" find their counterpart in the ambient lighting of the Ranger Raptor - it bathes the interior in a shimmering amber tone. The high-quality leather steering wheel with a marked middle position completes the sporty feeling in the passenger compartment. Like the front seats, it can be heated, is contoured for easy grip and has shift paddles made from cast magnesium. The occupants enjoy the advantages of modern digital technologies. In addition to the 12.4-inch, all-digital instrument cluster, the Ranger Raptor has a central 12-inch touchscreen. It controls the latest Ford SYNC 4 communication and entertainment system, which connects smartphones wirelessly via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Ten loudspeakers convert the output of the 640-watt B&O sound system into an impressive soundtrack, for example for off-road adventures. The model name "Raptor" is also known to fans in North America. Ford uses this name for select high-performance pickup trucks and utility vehicles - starting with the first-generation F-150 SVT Raptor, which was tuned specifically for high speed off-road. Developed by Ford Performance, the Ranger Raptor launched the designation in various global markets including Europe in 2018, gaining a new following among die-hard off-road pickup truck enthusiasts in the process

The new Mercedes-Benz GLC AMG Line Design

3 June 2022 59 Views

The new GLC is immediately recognisable as a member of the Mercedes-Benz SUV family. Standard equipment includes the AVANTGARDE exterior with Chrome package including chrome window surrounds and a new, chrome-look simulated underguard. This adds striking design features and enhances the unique proportions of the vehicle. One of the defining design highlights of the GLC is the redesigned front end, with headlamps that connect directly to the radiator grille to emphasise the vehicle’s width, and the new radiator grille as part of the standard AVANTGARDE exterior, which now has a chrome surround and a sporty louvre in matt grey with chrome trim. The AMG Line has a radiator grille with Mercedes-Benz pattern. The body design is characterised by a full, spanned surface design enriched with precisely shaped edges in the sides. These emphasise the proportions, accentuate the muscular wheel arches and create a balance between elegance and off-road performance. Wheel arch liners in the vehicle colour are available from the AMG Line upwards for the first time. These accentuate the sportiness of the AMG Line, as optional equipment in conjunction with mixed tyres. Also available as an optional extra are easy-entry running boards and, from the AMG Line upwards, a Night package.

The CUPRA Born is the unconventional challenger, delivering electrifying performance using the most advanced electric powertrain technology, seamlessly augmenting the spirit of the CUPRA brand with an electrified future. The CUPRA Born forms the next stage of the brand’s development, and as the industry shifts to a more environmentally conscious position, electrification is key.
