We cannot turn our backs on the evidence. Maybe not everyone, but more and more people, familiar with my profession, ask me if there is an electrician that fits their type of life. And there are already many interesting electric cars, but most of them err on the side of having a high price, at least when compared to equivalent models with a combustion engine. And in this, the MG 4 appears. It is not cheap. At least, paying 34,200 euros for a vehicle is not within the reach of most. But new car inflation has made it one of the few vehicles that can look its combustion engine rivals in the face. In the test of the MG 4 we made a very conclusive comparison: the MG 4 with 204 CV of power costs the same as a Volkswagen Golf 1.5 TSI of 130 CV and automatic transmission. And it offers a better po...

Yes, it is so, because what Aston Martin has done from 2022 to 2023 is almost a miracle. in just months they have cut 1.5 seconds to those above, and they have gone from having problems to going from Q1 to being second fastest car from the grill in Bahrain. and to add a podium thanks to Fernando Alonso.

Will he change teams? Lewis Hamilton attacks Mercedes: “Admit you didn’t listen to me”
Imagine that you can replace dozens of soldered components with a single module, making huge individual parts. It is not something new, I remember when Apple did something similar with its laptops, made from a single aluminum plate, which avoids the assembly of different parts. This now reaches the automotive sector and with this the manufacture of cars is greatly simplified, reducing costs in some areas by up to 40%. Tesla has been a pioneer using the giga presses, huge casting machines to make large individual parts, reducing the labor needed per unit, including robots (which don’t get tired, but cost a ton). One such module can avoid soldering or otherwise joining up to 60 components. Without a doubt, it helps to be one of the most profitable manufacturers on the planet. In a cont...

On this occasion, the Finn has not hesitated to position Lando Norris as one of the most promising drivers on the grid: “He is a very fast driver, but still young. It has already achieved a lot and consistently shows convincing results,” he said. Despite the fact that the Briton has not yet achieved victory, he has managed 6 podiums and a pole in his career within ‘El Gran Circo’, achievements that at the age of 23 serve to lead the team of Zak Brown.

In recent months I have been able to drive two units of the Skoda Karoq 2022. Both stand out for their good interior spaciousness and practical details, as well as good standard equipment without having to resort to the list of options (which is very extensive to be and it is well organized). Dynamically both were fine, but without a doubt I ended up recommending the second one more than the first one. The first was the Karoq 2.0 TSI 190 CV 4×4. Yes, it runs, but it also consumes its own and I don’t see that it’s the mechanics looking for someone who walks through the door of a Skoda dealer. However, the Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSI of 150 CV is the option to choose from the range. For its refinement, balance between performance and consumption… and above all a price in line with ...

Without a doubt, these are series that will surprise you due to the hardness of their stories and the realism with which they raise issues that could affect our lives much sooner than we think. To lighten the type of content we also have other series such as the award-winning ‘Ted Lasso’, a comedy that with its third and final season will close a story marked by passion, friendship, betrayals and the desire to believe with the most unlikely , if pursued vehemently, can become a reality.
