Boasting exceptional driving capabilities while also ensuring reduced CO2 emissions, the new Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid, driven by its innovative 48 Volt hybrid engine, further advances the Jeep brand's trailblazing journey into electrification.The engine powering the new Avenger e-Hybrid represents the highest level of technological achievement, delivering both comfort and performance. With this state-of-the-art technology, the new Avenger e-Hybrid delivers an exceptionally smooth driving experience, enabling fortunate journalists to embrace electric mobility at lower speeds. This is made possible through the integration of the automatic 6-speed e-DCS6 dual-clutch transmission with its integrated electric engine.The route retraces the double soul of the Avenger: at ease both on road and offroad. On the one hand, the on-road route allows the driver to try the hybrid features (energy recovery & electric drive at low speed) and the tech features such as L2 assisted driving. The new Avenger e-Hybrid has been designed to be the first entry point into electrification. It employs a powertrain based on a lightweight 48V Hybrid system capable of delivering a nearly complete hybrid experience. A 100hp internal combustion engine coupled with a 21kw electric motor is then integrated into a double-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission and a 48V Belt Starter for a smooth transition to the electric drive that also produces further CO2 savings. The 0.9 kWh lithium-ion battery is located under the driver's seat, with no impact on the interior space, which remains the same as that of the Avenger petrol.The entire 48V hybrid system weighs only 60 kg more than a conventional automatic transmission. This keeps the total weight of the new Avenger e-Hybrid to just 1280 kg.
Against the backdrop of autumn colours, the full range of current production Huracán models traveled the Apennine roads from Bologna to Forte dei Marmi: a celebratory drive of the V10 Lamborghini and the model that achieved such outstanding sales results. In its ten-year lifecycle, sales to date have exceeded 25,000 units: a result destined to increase with 2024 production, already fully allocated. As defined by the Lamborghini Cor Tauri strategy, Huracán will later be replaced by a hybrid super sports car.The journey began with the guests driving the super sports cars to reach Palazzo di Varignana where they enjoyed a dinner on the Royal Train, in the same carriage sent by King Umberto II of Savoy to his future bride Maria Josè of Belgium, on which she joined him at Turin and crossed Italy together during their honeymoon.The following day, the route through Castel del Rio and the Giogo pass brought the convoy to Villa Campestri, where the extra virgin olive oil tasting briefly interrupted the pleasure of driving, which resumed in the afternoon towards Forte dei Marmi.The dinner at Villa Alpebella, currently owned by the Bocelli family who have just completed its restoration, was the most exclusive moment of the tour, welcomed by Maestro Andrea Bocelli, his wife Veronica and his son Matteo.The following morning, the visit to the Valsora white marble quarry and the stop at the Taverna dello Scoiattolo within the Cioccorally route, continued to underline the perfect combination that combines the uniqueness of the V10 Lamborghini with the special tour experience, which ended in Sant'Agata Bolognese after crossing the Abetone pass.
Ten years after its launch, the Macan is on the cusp of a second model generation, now in all-electric form. As the first Porsche model built on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the SUV is a completely new development. The test process to ensure the perfect coordination of all components and systems is accordingly meticulous. Porsche places great importance on real-world testing with camouflaged prototypes. At the same time, simulations in both the virtual world and wind tunnel are increasingly precise and play an ever-greater role. This is particularly true when it comes to making a new Porsche not only sportier, but also more efficient.
During the first European large-scale test drive with the media, participants explored the rich and varied landscape of the Balearic island: a total of 120 journalists and content creators from 17 nations tested the sporty smart #3 on Mallorca’s roads. On the narrow serpentine roads, through wooded areas, colorful orchards and along the coast, the participants were able to try out the #3’s dynamic driving style in all its facets. The #3 stirs up the premium EV segment as a sporty SUV coupé. With its athletic curves and powerful “shark nose” it stands out as a timelessly elegant everyday companion. The look is rounded off by the wide a-shaped grill and slim LED headlights. The large 19-inch wheels complement the sporty look, and in BRABUS trim, the #3 even sports 20-inch rims. The panoramic halo roof connects the surroundings with the cabin of the car to create a welcoming atmosphere—a perfect opportunity to enjoy the picturesque landscape of Mallorca even more. The sporty exterior is reflected in the #3’s performance: peak power ranges from 200 kW on four lines to 315 kW in the BRABUS, setting a benchmark in the market segment. Acceleration ranges from 5.8 seconds to 3.7 seconds. In under 30 minutes the #3 is charged from 10 to 80 percent and ready to go. Thanks to its modern software environment, the smart #3 is an intelligent companion in everyday life and supports the driver with an intuitive ecosystem for driving. This includes various systems as part of the smart pilot assist, such as a highway assistant (HWA) and automatic parking assist (APA). The smart #3 also features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay2, which allows drivers to bring smartphone features and apps to the infotainment display. To ensure that the system is always up to date, smart implements constructive feedback and is able to develop features quickly and publish over-the-air (OTA) updates at short intervals that can be implemented directly by the user without a visit to the service center. In 2023, four OTA updates have already been successfully rolled out for smart #1 customers.
