Honda opened the doors on its exhibit at Milan Design Week 2019, the first time the brand has had a significant presence at the world’s largest design exhibition. Honda’s e Prototype, fresh from its world premiere at 2019 Geneva Motor Show will be the centrepiece of the “Honda experience - Casa Connessa Tortona“.“Honda experience - Casa Connessa Tortona“Based in the Tortona design district of Milan, Honda has used high-end fashion boutique “Alysi - The Garden House” as the base to create its experience.On entry, visitors are greeted by an immersive visual and auditory experience designed to represent the shift from the urban environment to a calming space. Walking through the entrance into the main space, the Honda e Prototype is presented under a glass roof, leaving the car open to shifting natural light.At the centre of the venue sits an architectural tree sculpture, created from natural materials. The sculpture acts as a symbol of the seamless link between the outside environment and inside life that inspired the design language of the Honda e Prototype.
Honda’s showstopper at the 89th Geneva Motor Show was the e Prototype – which previews the company’s future electric models for Europe. Cut to 2019, Honda has taken a step further in that direction and presented the e Prototype, which is positioned as the next-gen urban commuter. The production version of the e Prototype will be revealed later this year, says Honda. The Honda e Prototype has a range of 200km on a single charge and also boasts of a fast charge function that charges the batteries to give 80 per cent range in 30 minutes, according to the company. It has garnered some interest, as Honda claims that it has received 15,000 registrations for the e Prototype in Europe. Tom Gardner, Senior Vice President, Honda Motor Europe said: “Since we made that first pledge in March 2017, the shift towards electrification has gathered pace considerably. Environmental challenges continue to drive demand for cleaner mobility. Technology marches on unrelenting and people are starting to shift their view of the car itself.”
Not only bi-fuel. DR EVs are coming in the immediate future.DR3 EV, launched as a world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show 2019, is leading the way to a real electric range, that will be marketed between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020. There will be three models, a city car and two SUVs, including DR3 EV.With a total capacity of 54.3 kw supplied by the 24 lithium-ion batteries, equal to about 400 km of autonomy (which reach 500 km with a constant driving at 60 km /h) and a maximum power of 90 kw, the DR3 EV represents the top of the technology currently available for electric mobility.The revolutionary ternary lithium ion technology (Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum) used by DR, guarantees low temperatures, high energy density, high charge efficiency, good cycle duration. All with a weight of the battery pack of just 385 kg. Unthinkable performance with first-generation lithium-iron phosphate batteries.Slow charging times range from 6 to 8 hours. The fast half-hour charge guarantees 80% battery efficiency anyway. Also the electric range will be full optional as standard. The DR3 EV, in addition to the rich equipment of the bi-fuel version, in addition has the ability to choose between the driving modes Eco and Sport and the sound alarm for pedestrians when the car is moving.
Michelin has reveal the new Michelin Pilot Sport tyres that will equip the latest-generation ABB FIA Formula E Championship all-electric cars at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.The new Michelin Pilot Sport is both lighter and more energy-efficient than ever thanks to a particularly ambitious development programme.
It’s Alpina’s time to shine with the updated BMW 7-series and here is their offering: the updated B7, complete with equally gigantic grille.The B7 is 0.2sec faster to 62mph than the updated (and V12-equipped) M760Li version of the facelifted 7-er, capable of doing the launch in just 3.6 seconds. It’s also capable of a 205mph max speed. It's seriously quick.
The new concept car by GFG Style, a two-seater, electric hyper-SUV with 4-wheel drive and 4-wheel steering, is called Kangaroo and its styling is a match for any terrain, thanks to its functionality and technology. The electric platform has been developed in collaboration with CH Auto and presents a carbon fiber body covering an advanced alluminium space frame. "Currently - says Fabrizio Giugiaro, who has taken care of the styling with Giorgetto Giugiaro - we are only revealing the "eyes" of this extraordinary concept that, as in our tradition, will be completely unveiled in Geneva and drivable after the show on any terrain".
