2024 Mustang Mach-E Rally

After this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, when Ford unveiled the all-electric Mustang Mach-E Rally prototype, now the production version of the rally-inspired car has finally been unveiled.

This electric crossover is finished in Grabber Yellow with two racing lines, and Ford will offer customers a wider palette that includes Grabber Blue, Shadow Black, Eruption Green as well as optional Star White and Glacier Gray. It is equipped with a modified suspension that gives it an additional 20 millimeters of ground clearance compared to the Mach-E GT, specially tuned MagneRide shock absorbers, rally-inspired front fog lights, a Focus RS-inspired rear spoiler, a front splitter, a black steel roof, 385 mm (15.1-inch) front discs with red Brembo calipers, protection on the door panels and fender arches, optional mudguards, towbar and hook on the front. It is mounted on 19″ wheels wrapped in 235/55 R19 Michelin CrossClimate2 tires.

Inside, there’s glossy white detailing that adorns the dashboard, lower steering wheel arms and the back of the Ford performance seats. Door panels feature contrast stitching.

The Mustang Mach-E Rally is powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, with a total output of 480 hp (353 kW) and 652 lb-ft (884 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power for the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 4 seconds. Thanks to the 91 kWh battery, which supports DV fast charging of up to 15 kW, the car has a range of more than 400 kilometers.

2025 VW ID. GTI Concept

In 1974, Volkswagen started production of one of its most popular cars, the VW Golf, and two years later, the popular GTI version arrived on the market. Since then, eight generations of this model have been introduced with different powertrain options. 47 years later, Volkswagen unveiled its first all-electric GTI, the VW ID. GTI Concept.

“We have realigned Volkswagen over the course of recent months. Our actions are always focused on the question of what customers expect from us. The complete range of our new orientation will be visible for the first time at the IAA Mobility. Volkswagen is delivering what customers want: whether electric, combustion engine or hybrid vehicles – all our new models impress with enjoyable efficiency, intuitive operation and high quality that is evident in all areas. In this way, we are meeting our promise of once more focusing completely on customer needs,” said Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars.

With a length of 4.10 m, a width of 1.84 m and a height of 1.50 m, the new GTI is close in dimensions to the VW Polo. A modern muscular but not aggressive design, by Andreas Mindt, brings the DNA of previous generations into the new electric era. An almost closed front grill and IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights adorn the front of the car. Additional equipment includes a sporty GTI bumper, GTI roof spoiler, GTI tail light clusters and a rear diffuser. It will be mounted on 20″ wheels wrapped in 245/35 R20 tires.

Inside, futuristic design, 10.9 inch display in front of the driver, centrally located 12.9 inch touch screen, augmented reality head-up display that shows the data spectrum on the windshield, multifunctional steering wheel with GTI button that switches the background lighting and all displays to the color GTI Red Turbo, and many other technological solutions are part of this vehicle of the future.

Volkswagen is currently silent when it comes to the car’s powertrain, which should hit the market in 2025. However, if we go back in time, the first rumors about this car said that it could have 230 hp (), which would be quite good. Whether that will happen remains to be seen.

2023 ZEEKR 001 FR

After announcing the arrival of its flagship sedan ZEEKR 001 on the European market, the Chinese company recently presented a more powerful version of this car, the ZEEKR 001 FR.

The car is equipped with a lightweight body kit that includes a front splitter, sills, rear diffuser, a large rear wing and side mirror housings, a 100 kWh battery that charges from 10 to 80 percent capacity in just 15 minutes, 800V technology, front 420 mm Brembo carbon- ceramic discs with AP Racing ten-pistons, rear 410 mm discs with four-piston calipers.

The ZEEKR 001 FR is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 1,248 hp (918 kW) and 944 lb-ft (1,280 Nm) of torque.

The company believes that this car could be a serious competitor to the Tesla Model S Plaid. How realistic it is, it’s hard to say.
