Radical new Renault will abandon traditional SUV body style
Starting in 2028, Renault's new electric cars will abandon the traditional SUV shape and shift to a lower, sportier design. This year's Embleme concept points to the sporty silhouette we can expect, says head of design Gilles Vidal. Despite the forward-thinking design of the new models, the retro 4, 5 and Twingo electric cars are here to stay. Renault has taken things by storm with its retro-styled 4, 5 and Twingo, but the French carmaker has very different plans for its other models. The company's head of design says a new batch of electric vehicles starting in 2028 will look forward, not backward, and start to change the design of traditional SUV shapes. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106 -c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f"); Design director Gilles Vidal suggests we look to this year's Embleme concept, a sporty, low-slung crossover, to get a sense of what to expect when a new…
Radical Jaguar Type 00 concept previews make-or-break MY26
A first look at the Jag's brave new design direction, revealing a mashup of E-Type, Range Rover and Tesla Cybertruck influences go through Chris Chilton December 2, 2024 20:00 Jaguar has given us our first taste of what to expect from the rebranded all-electric vehicle lineup due in 2025. The Type 00 two-door concept car will be transformed into a four-door sedan and enter production late next year, with two electric vehicles to follow. The Jag engineering team is targeting a WLTP range of 478 miles (770 km) and an EPA range of 430 miles (692 km). Finally we can stop talking about Jaguar's new logo and get back to talking about its new cars. There's a lot to talk about, as the automaker unveiled the Type 00 concept car today, and it's as polarizing as the new brand logo and fashion show Instagram ad. Previously known as the Design Vision concept, the Type 00 (or "Zero") is a confident,…
Genesis to race at Le Mans with radical hybrid supercar
The luxury automaker is expected to use a chassis from French company Oreca. Hyundai Motorsport was responsible for developing the car's internal combustion engine. This striking new hypercar could be ready for racing as early as 2026. Hyundai Motor plans to enter the top echelon of endurance racing with the launch of a new Le Mans Daytona h (LMDh) supercar through its Genesis sub-brand, which will compete against rivals such as BMW, Cadillac, Porsche and Lamborghini. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); Unlike Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) cars, which are built from scratch, cars built according to LMDh rules must use a dedicated chassis from Dallara, Ligiera, Multimatic or Oreca. They also use a common gearbox from Xtrac and feature an integrated Bosch motor generator and batteries from Williams. LMH and LMDh cars compete against each other in the World Endurance Championship and the IMSA…
Radical Acura Integra Type S prototype previews ‘potential’
The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine gets a new intercooler, dual oil coolers and a cat-back exhaust go through Brad Anderson August 15, 2024 22:30 Acura has made improvements to the Integra's suspension, brakes, engine, and aerodynamics. The automaker has not yet fully committed to supplying such parts to customers. This wild prototype comes in a special color called "Indy Yellow Pearl." Like its sibling, the Honda Civic Type R, the Acura Integra Type S has proven itself to be a capable performer, and clearly eager to offer owners more scope for personalization, Acura has previewed a host of street- and track-specific parts that may be available to the public via the Integra Type S HRC prototype. Debuting during Monterey Car Week, these special parts were developed with the help of Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) engineers and were inspired by elements of the Integra Type S TCX race car.
