Rarely has a Kia model been so eagerly awaited as the EV6 GT, the brand's most powerful production model to date, which combines the driving dynamics of a super sports car with crossover and grand tourer qualities. And the victory of the EV6 in the vote for Europe's "Car of the Year 2022" has increased the number of prospective buyers who have been able to reserve the crossover athlete in advance since the EV6 world premiere in March 2021. With the result that temporarily no further reservations were accepted. That's changing now: Kia has now announced the equipment details and the final price of the EV6 GT and thus officially started sales. Customers can now order the 430 kW (585 PS) strong Stromer again. The basic price of the Kia EV6 GT, which is fully equipped as standard, is 69,990 euros and is reduced in accordance with the subsidy regulations applicable at the time of registration. The 7-year manufacturer's guarantee includes the drive battery. This means that the EV6 GT has one of the most comprehensive manufacturer warranties for electric cars in Europe. Production will start in September, and the first deliveries of pre-orders to European customers are planned for the end of the year.
As McLaren marks its 60th anniversary, the supercar maker has teamed up with the LEGO Group to release the first-ever double pack of LEGO Speed Champions featuring two of McLaren's most iconic supercars: the McLaren F1 LM and McLaren Solus GT.Both LEGO creations pay homage to McLaren's technical innovation and design language with authentic details from the real-life cars, including the Papaya Orange colour of the F1 LM, its central driving seat position, and cooling ducts.Born from a virtual gaming world concept, the Solus GT - also with its striking central single-seat cockpit design and high-downforce rear wing - is a perfect addition for any McLaren supercar enthusiast.The 581-piece set also features two LEGO minifigure drivers in their his and hers McLaren ‘race suits’.Sixty years ago, New Zealand-born racer, engineer and visionary Bruce McLaren set-up the racing team in England that remains one of the world’s most successful names in motorsport. McLaren is the only team to have won the ‘Triple Crown of Motorsport’ with race victories in the Monaco Grand Prix, Indianapolis 500 and Le Mans 24 Hours. In the 1960s, Bruce himself unveiled the M6GT, the first ever McLaren supercar.
Its 471 kW four-litre biturbo V8 provides the basis for superb driving characteristics. With 67 kW (90 PS) more than the Cayenne Turbo Coupé and maximum torque of 850 Nm (an increase of 80 Nm), the 0-100 km/h sprint is reduced to 3.3 seconds (0.6 s less) and top speed is now 300 km/h (an increase of 14 km/h). With even sportier lines and available exclusively as a four-seater Coupé, the Cayenne Turbo GT comes with all available chassis systems fitted as standard and performance tyres developed specially for this model. The powertrain and chassis also have a unique set-up specifically tuned for the Cayenne Turbo GT. The result is a harmonious overall concept with superb racetrack capability. This has been proven by Porsche test driver Lars Kern, who lapped the 20.832 km Nürburgring Nordschleife with the Cayenne Turbo GT in a time of 7:38.9 minutes, setting a new official SUV record.

McLaren 600LT Spider is the fifth car to carry the Longtail name, the new convertible fully embodies the McLaren Longtail philosophy of increased power, reduced weight, optimised aerodynamics, track-focused dynamics and limited availability. In addition, it brings a new dimension of excitement over the 600LT Coupé, without compromise to the dynamic purity of the most performance-focused car in the Sports Series line-up: a retractable hardtop to give the choice of open-air driving.Like its 600LT Coupé sibling, the Spider records a significant weight saving over the model on which it is based, with McLaren's engineers achieving a reduction of 100kg at DIN weight over the 570S Spider. Furthermore, thanks to its lightweight but incredibly strong carbon fibre MonoCell II chassis, the convertible 600LT retains the structural rigidity of the Coupé with none of the strengthening that is usually required with conventional steel or aluminium structures. The result is a weight penalty of only 50kg over the Coupé, which contributes to a lightest dry weight of just 1,297kg for the Spider. This is at least 80kg less than any direct competitor and the equivalent power-to-weight ratio of 463PS-per-tonne underpins astonishing levels of performance and dynamic prowess.
