Red Bull He has a very clear hierarchy of pilots, max verstappen first and then Sergio Perez. Until now, it was the results and the trajectory of the world champion that dictated it, despite the obvious favorable treatment of the Dutchman. Now, in case there was any doubt, Marko Helmut he has taken it upon himself to dispel it. The team’s adviser, in an interview with ‘Auto Motor Und Sport’, the Austrian affirms that Verstappen takes the performance of the single-seater above what they expect, something that ‘Checo’ does not: “When Max can push to the limit and has trust is different than when someone else pushes you to the limit. Our car is where Perez is. And Pérez is a very good Formula 1 driver, but he is not a Verstappen“. “C”on Ma...
Definitely one of the best products we have tested in this 2022is undoubtedly the recent launch of the BMW Motorrad CE04a fully electric scooter that undoubtedly left us with a great taste in our mouths and, therefore, became one of the gala guests at the Special 2022 of Autocosmos.

Once we are ready to start, very early, and having our safety equipment ready and, of ...

It’s true, the Renault Oroch is not even close to the first monocoque double cabin pickup in history. Before, there were some models like Hond Ridgeline or Subaru Baja and even the Chevrolet Avalanche. All born with the idea of offering a vehicle that combines the comfort and handling of an SUV, with the practicality of having a punt. With a more recreational approach than pure and hard work. However, none of these trucks have managed to impact the market. And it is that even before Leandro Colombato and Adolfo Felippa created Oroch, there was a huge gap in the market that no one had thought of filling.. On the one hand, there were small models such as the Volkswagen Saveiro and FIAT Strada/RAM 700, with the next step being medium trucks such as the Nissan NP300 or Toyo...
The next generation of batteries could take many forms. But one design that scientists have high hopes for involves using lithium metal. The reason is that it is a material with excellent energy density that could, for example, make a mobile phone work for days without recharging. From South Korea they have brought them a little closer to reality, designing a new electrolyte that can be controlled by external magnetic fields. And what changes in a lithium metal battery compared to conventional ones? Well, use this material instead of the graphite and copper used in the anode of current lithium-ion batteries. In this way there would be smaller and lighter anodes, with a higher energy density. Speaking of electric cars, let them go further with each charge. They are not being done for now as...

Fernando Alonso ended up at Aston Martin this summer with the intention of being world champion again in the long term, thanks to the ambitious project of the team of Silverstone. However, a cabal related to the Asturian and ‘Fat’ of the Christmas lottery They place the Spanish as champion in 2023. And it is that in 2004, ‘El Gordo’ was 54,600 and in 2005, 20,085. Both numbers contain two zeros and in the following two years (2005 and 2006), Fernando Alonso was world champion with Renault. This year the same thing happened: ‘El Gordo’ is 05490 and again contains two zeros. That is why many people have speculated that, once again, the man from Oviedo will be world champion, although the chances of that happening are practically non-existent, unless in Ast...
Today, they sell us that electric cars are the only way forward in the industry and, therefore, they represent the future of the automotive industry.

One of them is the Japanese giant Toyotasince its CEO Akio Toyoda has told The Wall Street Journal that electrification is not the only solution to follow in the industry. “I am often criticized in the press because I refuse to state that the auto industry should commit 100% to just electric cars. However, I think we need to be more realistic about ...
Companies look for projects with which to identify, which are impregnated with their values. Last week we knew first hand MINI for the Oceansin which the company helps Gravity Wave to clean the Mediterranean Sea of plastics. MINI has set itself the goal of removing one kilo of plastic from the sea for every MINI sold in Spain. There are already 2,000 kg but the idea is to reach 10 tons. The collaboration with Gravity Wave, the Spanish start-up, began on June 8, the world oceans day. It is a young company, born after Amaia Rodríguez discovered on a trip to Asia how plastic waste even reached remote paradisiacal areas. He took his brother Julen on board the project and they decided to focus their work on the Mediterranean, the most polluted sea in the world. And within plastics, in nets an...

If supercars go hybrid, why not turn a hybrid into a sports car? It was probably what the guys from X-Tomi Design planned when sketching a new Toyota Prius hypothetically “touched” by Gazoo Racing, all from the fact that the new hybrid has the 2.0-liter Dynamic Force engine that, according to the market, will be offered with 193 Hp front-wheel drive or 220 Hp with all-wheel drive (which we will never see). In X-Tomi Design they decided that if Gazoo Racing got their hands on the new Toyota Prius, more or less it could look like this: Lower, firmer suspension Sportier electric steering Aerodynamic kit forged sport wheels Brakes with larger calipers Sport seats. To finish “blowing the ...
