The New Range Rover Sport has made its global premiere with a dramatic world-first climb up a flooded dam spillway in Iceland. The epic ascent saw New Range Rover Sport resist the surging torrent of water flowing down the ramp of the Karahnjukar Dam – the biggest of its kind in the world – at a rate of 750 tonnes per minute. A loss of traction risked plunging down the perilous 90m drop at the base of the spillway to the valley floor below. The successful spillway ascent was screened for the first time at an exclusive launch event at Jaguar Land Rover’s Advanced Product Creation Centre at Gaydon, UK. Official James Bond stunt driver Jessica Hawkins was behind the wheel as the New Range Rover Sport demonstrated its grip, traction, performance and composure, completing the latest in a series of challenges for Land Rover’s luxury performance SUV. Previous feats include a record-setting hill-climb at Pikes Peak, a first recorded crossing of the ‘Empty Quarter’ desert in the Arabian Peninsula and a first ascent of the 999 steps to Heaven’s Gate in China, in 2018.
The Suzuki Hayabusa hit the market in 1999, setting new standards in different areas. Among them is its image, with an unmistakable style and careful aerodynamics that have made the Hayabusa instantly recognizable. Short, long and wide, it is a magnificent beast that exudes power, balance and high performance. Like the Peregrine Falcon, hence its Japanese name. A bird that when it swoops for its prey is capable of exceeding 300 km / h. A design that has evolved in its next two generations, but faithfully maintaining the original DNA. Suzuki has adapted it to the present in a forceful way, also bringing us closer to the future thanks to a more avant-garde appearance. Suzuki's design team has worked very hard to create sharper lines that are resistant to the passage of time, conveying refinement while reflecting its power. For this they have applied a successful combination of textures, colors and design elements, in perfect harmony with the high performance of its engine. A tetracilíndrico that in this third generation yields 190 CV at 9,700 rpm and that again is capable of reaching 299 km / h. The Design Team has achieved that the new Hayabusa exudes quality and luxury, and at the same time that its image resembles a very fast and ferocious bird of prey such as the Peregrine Falcon.
