Engineer Gorden Wagener unveiled the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 concept car at the Mercedes Lounge at Pebble Beach, California on Friday during the world famous Moneterey Car Week festivities, drawing oohs and ahs from the croud. The ultra-long luxury coupe extends to an impressive 18.7 feet long and powered by four electric motors which generate 738 horsepower and giving the vehicles a range of 200 miles.
Ford Motor Company unveiled a car that can visualise the driver's emotions on its exterior and took it for a test drive at the Olympic Park in East London, Tuesday. LED technology was placed on the modified Ford Focus RS to show its driver's emotions to the world. The driver wears body sensing clothing while a computer converts the information into flashing lights. Ford is just one of many major automakers trying to understand driver emotion.
The specifications of the updated 2016 Cadillac ELR range-extended electric car were released this morning, and one big question has been answered. The luxury coupe will not use the revised Voltec powertrain that propels the new second-generation 2016 Chevrolet Volt on sale later this year. But it boasts better performance, slightly higher electric range, more standard equipment, and a price cut of $10,000. Instead, the 2016 ELR will continue with its existing 17.1-kilowatt-hour battery pack and 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Nonetheless, it gets a notable boost in powertrain output, which has risen to 233 horsepower and 373 pound-feet of torque from the 207 hp and 295 lb-ft of the 2014 ELR.
General Motors has issued a recall of over 60,0000 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles. According to Business Insider, the recall is due to at least five incidents of Bolt batteries catching fire. The vehicles affected by the voluntary recall were manufactured between 2017 and 2019. The automaker is working with US auto regulators to identify the causes of the fires. Experts advised owners to park the cars"outside and away from homes" until the repairs can be made. GM said it has developed software that will limit vehicle charging to prevent future incidents.
Some of the most sought-after cars in the world were showcased at Monterey Car Week. Among them were the PB 18 E-Tron, which goes from 0-100k mph in two seconds, the new $5 million Bugatti Divo, and the sleek, all-electric Infiniti P10, which may be the racing car of the future.
