Without a statement, with nothing more than a video posted on YouTube and on social networks, Volkswagen anticipates a special and limited production version for the Golf R named 333. Volkswagen has threatened several times with very powerful versions of the Golf, but all have come to nothing. The most powerful version to date is the Golf R 20th Anniversary, which has just 333 Hp. Of course, it was manufactured in very few units and was marketed in very specific markets. This new Golf R 333 replicates several of the tricks of that model. Due to the power, it gives us the idea that it must be the same two-liter turbo engine, which delivers 333 Hp, associated with a 4Motion traction system and a seven-speed DSG transmission. We can also see the 19″ &...

It was the first time he saw otmar szfanuaer really disappointed with the rhythm of his team, far from even points. The start of the French team has been more than disastrous. They have only added eight points between the two drivers in four races. Fernando Alonsowho left the team last season, already has 60 points and three podium finishes behind the wheel of Aston Martin.

in baku Sergio Perez was much higher than max verstappen and was placed six points behind in the drivers’ standings. He kept his partner at bay, always out of the DRS so he couldn’t attack him. And after the race, the two-time F1 champion complained about how difficult it is to chase each other between cars and overtake in 2023. An opinion that coincided with that of his teammate, Pérez: “As Checo said, I think that the more downforce we generate… if you keep the rules it will be more difficult to overtake.” “Because of the weight of the cars we have today, because they are quite heavy At low speed it’s a bit more difficult to follow another car. As soon as you make a small mistake with that weight, it becomes more slip, it’s harder on the ti...
Enlarge CDA May 04, 2023 0 A study encourages drivers to become aware of the seriousness of the threat posed by distraction versus punishment. Distractions while driving are one of the main causes of accidents in the world (and also in Spain). The main culprit is usually, of course, the mobile phone. Given this, a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) concludes that personal relationships can make this accident rate lower. One of the conclusions of this study, carried out by this independent non-profit scientific and educational organization, is that in addition to toughening the laws and reinforcing their application, those responsible for security should focus on leveraging friendships and family ties to inspire change, make dr...
lewis hamilton and Mercedes are far from the best. Red Bull is unreachable… at least for now. And Mercedes is not the closest team. It’s Aston Martin with a Fernando Alonso who has been on the podium in three of four races. Despite the fact that Hamilton is fourth in the drivers’ championship, twelve points behind Alonso and far behind max verstappenhis ex-partner Valtteri Bottas he believes that he is still “the fastest driver” on the entire grid. This was stated in the official Formula 1 podcast: “Lewis is the fastest teammate I’ve ever had and I think he’s still the fastest driver on the entire grid, above Max and Charles, for me it is at the top. He is very talented, but above all, he works very hard, much harder than people think.”...
I already said it Helmut Marko, advisor of Red Bullafter the Australian Grand Prix: the team could not be trusted given that Fernando Alonsothen, he was less than a race (25 points) behind Max Verstappen. Now, after the sprint race and the Azerbaijan GPthe distance with respect to the Dutch is 33 units -yes, 33-, but from the team of energy drinks the fear has not decreased. Why? Why worry about a team that months ago was the seventh car? Amen to the incredible evolution of Aston Martin in winter, the great fear of Red Bull are the consequences of the sanction for exceeding the budget limit and the reduction of time in the wind tunnel. This, as the season progresses, will equalize the forces between the teams at the head of the grid, with those from Silverstone being their immediate pursue...
It’s no surprise that Spain is below the European average in terms of electrification. It is the whiting that bites its tail, there are not too many charging points for electric cars and this, together with its high price, means that the acceptance of the technology is still low. In fact, a new study says it’s necessary multiply by 25 the number of charging points at the national level to achieve the objectives. As established in the Energy and Climate Plan, Spain has to achieve it by 2030. Pass from the current 15,000 to 340,000 charging points that are considered necessary in just seven years is a challenge that must be taken into account. By 2030, a goal has been set to reach five million electric vehicles in the park, whose needs would not be covered by the current number o...

The electrification within Stellantis is increasing and has also been improving over time. The proof of this is that the Citroën e-C4 and e-C4 X, which were introduced relatively recently, already offer an improvement to consider.
