A new report quantifying the carbon footprint of all classic cars registered in the UK has revealed that an average classic car’s annual emissions are comparable to a single roundtrip flight from London to New York, a typical three-day Christmas for one person or equivalent to drinking three lattes a day.
Genesis GV60 sets a new standard for luxury car design and the Crystal Sphere is one of the standout features in the brand’s debut electric model.The beautifully crafted Crystal Sphere embodies Genesis’ approach to design, luxury and ergonomics, representing a striking interior focal point for GV60 and an emotional connection between the driver and the vehicle.Located in the floating centre console, the Crystal Sphere appears as a sparkling, jewel-like object placed within the spacious, balanced, and serene cockpit of GV60, which is inspired by the ‘Beauty of White Space’ philosophy of traditional Korean architecture.When all-new GV60’s electrical systems are turned off, the Crystal Sphere becomes part of the vehicle's ambient cabin lighting, delivering a calming glow to the cabin when the car doors are opened to welcome its occupants.
The Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano has set the fastest lap recorded by a production car at the 2.439-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, lapping the circuit at an impressive 1:29.625 seconds at a maximum speed of 174.6 mph to set this time.“It was a great moment to witness, seeing how the impressive performance of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale put down this lap record on July 15,” says Mark Raffauf, Senior Director of Race Operations at International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), which oversaw the test.“The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was built in 1909 to be a proving ground for automobiles of all makes, and we have remained true to that DNA since. Whether it is competing in purpose-built race cars or setting new standards in production cars, the historic 2.5-mile oval and the challenging road course at IMS continue to be automotive development and performance catalysts like none other. Across 112 years of history, we’ve always been excited to be part of these important milestones,” said IMS president J. Douglas Boles.The new Ferrari SF90 Stradale is the most powerful Prancing Horse ever, and its first series-production PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle). This new model is extreme on every level and represents a true paradigm shift because it delivers unprecedented performance for a production car. Figures such as 1,000 cv, and a weight-to-power ratio of 1.57 kg/cv, and 390 kg of downforce at 250 km/h not only put the SF90 Stradale at the top of its segment, but also mean that a V8 is the top-of-the-range model for the first time in the marque’s history.
