Maxus is preparing to renew its range of utility vehicles and the first to be released will be the V70. I say the first, since the V70 will use a new platform that will give life to other models. The V70 measures 4,998 mm long, with three meters between axles and a variable capacity between five, six or nine occupants. The design of the new Maxus V70 is quite balanced, that is, it looks like a very modern commercial, but it is not an excessively futuristic model either. On the front we have a parametric pattern grill (the pattern simulates a 3D box) and no frame, while at the top we see the logo of Maxus above a luminous mustache (we assume) that connects to the main headlights. In the defense we also have LED lights arranged in a vertical format. ...

There arecertain halo of admiration around American cars from a few decades ago. Some names are very clear, although this time we wanted to dive into something less known, but just as surprising. We talk about Studebaker Avanti, a coupé that was for sale on a limited basis between 1962 and 1963. Despite its short life, it was enough to break up to 29 world speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats. A specimen that he refused to die and that some still remember today. Presented as a “space age” car and as the fastest production vehicle in the world, the Studebaker Avanti quickly gained popularity on its introduction. It was a two-door, four-seater coupe with an unusual look that was the work of designer, Raymond Loewy. Its fluid lines, the absence of a grill, its circular headl...

Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works division is responsible for some of the most spectacular aircraft ever seen. The F-22 Raptor, the Blackbird SR-71, the Nighthawk or the U2, They are projects carried out in secret by this division of the company.

Hyundai is already preparing what will be the second generation of the Kona. The good thing is that it will be available from the start with three mechanical offers: traditional combustion engine, hybrid system and 100% electric. With this, the South Korean brand adapts to the different energy realities of the markets where the Kona is going to arrive.

Everrati is a British company specializing in the restoration of classic cars, and for some time it has also been concerned with replacing the conventional powertrain with an electric one. The firm had already tried a Ford GT40; now he takes another icon of sportsmanship, the Porsche 911, and changes his boxer shorts for batteries. The brand has just delivered a fully electric 911 964 in the United States. This restomod was made for the Californian company Aria Group that will be in charge of the commercialization. According to company sources, there will be many more units of the 964 for sale. The 911 uses the 964 as a base but replaces some elements of the bodywork with others made of carbon fiber, which also allows it to have a widebody package. All t...

Aston Martin wants to win, like Fernando Alonso. To do this, you need a plan. No longer ‘The Plan’, but a plan in which both the pilot and the team themselves believe. For the Asturian, zero doubts… and it seems that there is none for the team either. Because the British, for whom Alonso has signed a multi-year contract and with whom it will debut in 2023, they know which path to take and how to do things. And that is stop nicknames like the ‘green Red Bull’ and follow their own path that differentiates them from others. This has been said by Dan Fallows, technical director of the team, in words that he collects ‘GPFans’: “The important thing for us is to make sure that we don’t copy what our competitors are doing.” “We don&...

Mercedes has had one more than busy year in this 2022. The reason, that tremendous ‘porpoising’ suffered by both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell at the beginning of the course in which little seemed to be that car that he had dominated since 2014, and also that with which the Englishman was left without a title in the last race. Because the rule change made them dust. Because they didn’t expect what happened… until they put the car on the track. “As soon as we put the car on the ground, in winter testing, that thing bounced like a rabbit”, Toto Wolff account in your course balance. And he continues: “We arrived in Bahrain. In time per lap we were not that far… but the other races until Budapest they were trial and error”. Wolff insist...

Mercedes has taken stock of 2022. From a 2022 in which the results have not been far from what was expected by them or their rivals, with a car that was practically undriveable in the first rounds of the course that caused Lewis Hamilton to harshly criticize the car. that I leave them out of any title fight at the earliest opportunity. From both the drivers’ and constructors’ title, something that was like going to buy bread for a team that since 2014 had done nothing but win with practically no opposition… until Max Verstappen, in the last race of 2021, left Hamilton without his eighth world title. Now, they believe they will be back on top in 2023 after have learned from “failure”. This has been said by Mike Elliot, one of the great names of Mercedes, in ...

For the Mexican market, 2022 was a good year of recovery. But for me, particularly, it was exceptional. And it was like that thanks, indirectly, to this world of cars to which I have belonged for just over 25 years. When INEGI releases the sales numbers for the year ending today next week, we will see welcome growth that left sales above 1 million with 70,000 units.. Sure, it’s still a long way from the 2016 record, which exceeded 1.6 million, but it’s still on the positive trend post-pandemic. General Motors will most likely close the year just above Nissan and the MG brand shows an unexpected (for some) muscle that points to a future of new brands, mainly Chinese, that will dominate the volume market, that is, the most popular vehicles. No less than 16% of the Mex...
