"Big dreams begin with a few believers.” This is how the CEO of SEAT and CUPRA Wayne Griffiths explains the brand’s early vision. Their aim was to reinvent electrification and prove that electric cars could be sexy and uniquely sporty. And not even one year after launching the brand, those believers were bold enough to unveil the CUPRA Tavascan Concept in 2019. What was once nothing more than a sketch is now a piece of the brand’s future, and in just a few days’ time, at CUPRA’s Exponential Impulse event in Berlin, the world is going to discover this all-electric SUV, a new hero for the new era. In this interview, Wayne Griffiths talks about the significance of this milestone in CUPRA’s story.
A 100% electric car, with a brand vision in terms of range with over 700 km, little more than 10 minutes of charging time and energy consumption less than 10 kWh per 100 km.Lancia Pu+Ra HPE is the first car inspired by the world of furniture, thanks to the collaboration with Cassina, leader in the upscale furniture industry, for a typically Italian “home feeling” experience.Lancia Pu+Ra HPE is the first car equipped with the S.A.L.A. virtual interface that we will find on the new Ypsilon. And thanks to S.A.L.A, Lancia will be the first Stellantis brand to adopt Chameleon and TAPE (Tailored Predictive Experience) technologies, which centralize the audio, climate control and lighting functions, enabling the environment inside the car to be adapted at the touch of a button or by the sound of your voice.Lancia Pu+Ra HPE is the natural evolution of Lancia Pu+Ra Zero, displaying many of the features of the three-dimensional sculpture unveiled last November.The new Lancia concept car fully embodies the principles of the new design language of the brand, a pure and radical design language where the cars’ volumes are created from the intersection of elementary and iconic forms such as the circle and the triangle, combined with a few eclectic details. The new Lancia concept car therefore becomes an expression of the Italian timeless design, with a sustainable and innovative approach that goes beyond the typical automotive language.The concept car is named Lancia Pu+Ra HPE: “Pu+Ra” refers to the brand's new, pure and radical design language, while HPE stands for High Performance Electric, for a car that is Eco-sustainable, Exciting and Evolved, all at the same time. The acronym HPE was used for the first time in the 1970s for Lancia Beta, and stood for “High Performance Estate”, a symbol of sportiness and practicality.
Head to the ski slopes with a Renault 5, take it on daily errands, or drive off to meet with other car enthusiasts at events around Europe: this and more are the sorts of adventures enjoyed by members of the AIR-5 car club that brings together fans of the iconic Renault model that celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. For a view into a larger-then-life collection of cars and a friendship not bound by barriers of automotives, it is time to see what is happening in the region around Orleans, in the heart of France. More than sixty Renault 5 models of all types lined up inside a vast 1,000m2 shed. This is the home to a growing collection of fond memories that belong to a group of six friends. Let’s meet them.
Spectacular proportions defined by a long wheelbase and emphasised by short overhangs, powerful shoulders, large wheels, a distinctive rear spoiler and star-shaped headlamp signature – the Vision AMG makes an emotional statement from every perspective. This extraordinary show car from Mercedes-AMG offers a glimpse of the all-electric future of AMG Driving Performance. Beneath the breath‑taking exterior design of the four-door coupé is the equally extraordinary dedicated AMG.EA platform, which is currently under development in Affalterbach for all-electric performance models.
The Nissan LEAF is now rolling into model year 2021 with a new sound: an acoustic vehicle warning system (AVAS) will in future provide information about the approaching, otherwise almost silent electric car. The Japanese automobile manufacturer is thus once again improving the already high level of safety of its e-pioneer.
