Volkswagen has introduced the new Golf GTE. It is an improved version of the Golf GTI with hybrid technology.
This plug-in hybrid, thanks to Urban Motors, has received some improvements. Instead of red trim, GTE has eco-friendly blue bits. The car has a new suspension thanks to which the GTE is lower by 45mm, which results in better handling.
Inside, there are blue tartan seats with lots of blue details. The car features an 8-inch entertainment system and a 10-inch digital driver screen as standard.
The GTE has 20-inch Barracuda Project 3.0 black rims from the Ultralight Series line with Continental Sport Contact 6 tires.
The Golf GTE has a 1.4-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine and a 113 hp electric motor, which combined to produce 245 hp and 400 Nm of torque. Accelerates from 0 – 62 mph in 6.7 seconds with a top speed of 140 mph. Thanks to the electric motor, the GTE can drive 37 miles at 80 mph.
VW offers an additional driver assistance package called IQ.DRIVE that boosts standard cruise control that can accelerate, brake and steer for you at 130 mph.
Porsche Taycan, a high-performance electric car. With its legacy and the latest technology, the Porsche Taycan stands for performance. Taycan is concept of future that characterized by pure emotion and maximum driving pleasure.
The timeless design with a fully electric drive structure allows for an extremely flat bonnet design, resulting in the flat bonnet and pronounced wings that are typical of Porsche. Also, the side air intakes in front of the front wheels improve aerodynamics, guiding the incoming air over the wheels like a curtain, thus reducing turbulence. At the front, there are four-point LED headlights with a matrix beam that combine all light functions in one component.
Porsche also offers two roof options. The contour variant made of lightweight aluminum with a recess in the middle creates a shape familiar from motorsport and a panoramic fixed glass roof that provides an open, airy feel. At the back are a seamless light strip and the Porsche logo.
Upon entering the cockpit, you will be greeted by a fully digital 16.8-inch curved screen, an integrated 8.4-inch center console control panel and a 10.9-inch center screen. For a sporty interior, Porsche allows you to choose between smooth leather, naturally treated Olea club leather and leather-free interiors in a variety of colors.
The Taycan also comes with ambient lighting (optional) that illuminates the interior. In addition, the car features the innovative Advanced Climate Control air conditioner. Although with four seats, on request your Taycan can also be equipped with a 4 + 1 seat configuration.
The Taycan has a rear boot that provides 366 liters of storage space that can be flexibly expanded, thanks to the individually folding rear seat backrests. In the front there is a luggage space of 81 liters for smaller items.
Two Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors are installed in the Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S – one on each axle – and the performance battery is integrated deep into the underbody. Automatically switching two-speed transmission on the rear axle ensures noticeably improved dynamics. The interaction of the drive components produces impressive performance figures. With boosted power up to 560kW (761PS), Launch Control, both machines accelerate the Taycan Turbo S from 0-100km / h in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 260km / h.
Its 800-volt architecture produces charge power of up to 270 kW. In five minutes, the vehicle can be charged to enable a range of up to 100km (WLTP) under optimal conditions.
