The new Nissan Z GT4 is based on the new Z and the brand indicates that it is a “racing car”, so it is not approved for use on the streets. It measures 4.3 meters long, 1.8 meters wide and weighs 1,410 kilos. The engine is the three-liter VR30DTT, which delivers 450 Hp, although the final figures will depend on the so-called Balance of Performance that the categories usually carry out to match the performance of all the models. The final version displayed at SEMA has a traditional decoration in NISMOwhich combines elements of the brand’s glorious spo...

First, and most importantly, because of the fight they have with McLaren for finishing fourth in the Constructors’ World Cup. Those of Enstone lead those of Woking in seven points, although the ‘war’ with the ‘papaya’ seems to be only against lando norris given the poor level shown by Daniel Ricciardo this season. At the same time, inside the blue garage it remains to be decided which pilot will be ahead of his partner. Currentl...
TipsCar taillights: things you should knowNovember 2, 2022What are taillights? This is a great question. Simple, but with a crumb, because there are several in charge of making them see us.
Although the possibility of covering the cargo box of pick-ups with a tarpaulin, it is an unsafe material, since, in general, it can break easily. There are also other types of more rigid covers or lids, but they are not usually hermetic, so they do not prevent the entry of dust and water. The inconvenience occurs mainly in compact trucks, since in larger ones covers of that style can be found, through after-sales services or outside the factory. Faced with this problem, it seems that there is a new automaker that took action on the matter. Just as a year ago it was presented by RAM, Chevrolet has just announced that its new Montana will have a special system to solve one of the great evils that afflict trucks. Let’s see what the brand said. Chevrolet Montana:...
countdown to goodbye Mike Schumacher to Formula 1. The very young German has only two races left at the wheel of the Haas. He will not be in competition in 2023 despite the fact that he was considered by many to be one of the great promises of the motor world.

Max Verstappen He is a two-time Formula 1 champion. This second world championship has been with tremendous superiority. It has nothing to do with the first one he conquered, defeating Lewis Hamilton on the last lap of the last race, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Many agree that an era of dominance has begun for both the Dutch driver and the Red Bull team. his father, Joseph Verstappenpredicted “five very nice years” for them, making it clear that he sees his favorite son in the immediate future of the ‘Great Circus’. Also Sergio Pérez, his teammate, who in statements to ‘PlanetF1’ has talked about how difficult it is to compete against him: “Obviously it’s not an easy task.

The motor factory in Campo Largo, in Brazil, has a long history of 25 years which started in 1999 when Chrysler and BMW created Tritec to produce 1.4L and 1.6L engines. Used in models as diverse as the Neon, PT Cruiser and MINI, in 2008 the plant passed into the hands of FIAT. Curiously, at that time the union between the Italians and the Americans, who at that time were merging with Daimler (Mercedes), was very distant. With the support of FIAT, the engines were transformed and the E.torQ family was born with a 1.6L and an 18L, both 16 valves. The former went out of production a while ago, while the larger one is in retirement. Due to anti-pollution regulations that came into force in Brazil this year, the 130 hp 1.8L 16V was no longer marketed in that ...
It is only a matter of time before the electric cars that were born a long time ago are being updated to improve their performance. A clear example is that of Peugeot e-208 GT 2023 which is now available with a number of very important modifications. The small French electric has already had an update to slightly increase its autonomy with a couple of changes. However, now he steps forward to position himself as the most outstanding specimen of its segment in various aspects. The first is that it changes the electric motor, since it uses the one that was introduced in the Peugeot e-308. That means you now have 156 hp and 260 Nm of torque, an improvement of 20 hp (15% more), which will affect its performance (still to be approved). Although probably even more significant is the addition of ...

This means that your level is rising, it is getting better and better. But It is not a level yet to fight for a World Cup. To fight for the World Cham...
It seems that the continuity of the front trunk in the electric cars of the future is not guaranteed. Due to the simplicity of their platforms, these vehicles already offer more spacious interiors and generous rear trunks, for which many consider it to be more than enough. Therefore, they prefer to use that hole to install other components electric as batteries or the air conditioning system instead of a trunk that would be around 100 liters. There are also other currents that ensure that they will have more prominence once they become electric on exclusively dedicated platforms. With opinion so divided and manufacturers still choosing, we can only wait to see how the future of the frunk.
