Ford announces upgrade for Mustang Mach-E

Four years ago, Ford introduced the Mustang Mach-E, its first crossover, and last year a refreshed version arrived with a range of over 900 km. Now the company is announcing a series of improvements for this model.

Since its arrival on the market, the Mustang Mach-E has started to achieve good results, and so far it has sold almost 100k Mustang Mach-Es. However, few could have expected that in 2024 it would surpass the legendary Mustang model in sales.

Ford has published a list of improvements that include three new exterior colors (Velocity Blue, Molten Magenta and Terrain), a black insert added to the front bumper as a limiter, a revised wheelbase. The GT version will get a new black front grille, while versions with the Premium package will get 19″ alloy wheels. All versions will get a heat pump.

The car’s interior will get a new interface for the Sync 4A multimedia system, and a change in the positions of some controls. The gear selector has been moved from the center console to the steering column, and the wiper and indicator controls have been moved to a single lever.

Honda is selling parts of the Formula 1, Indy Car and Moto GP vehicles

Honda has found a new way of financing. According to the latest information, the manufacturer will offer its customers parts of Formula 1, IndyCar and MotoGP vehicles. The project will start at this year’s Monterey Car Week and the first to go on sale will be engine parts from the Formula 1 car of the legendary Ayrton Senna.

Honda wants to thank fans for their loyalty to the brand by offering them the opportunity to own a piece of racing history. Senna won the drivers’ title in 1990 driving a McLaren car powered by a Honda engine (RA100E F1) that has been dismantled and will be offered at auction.

This new source of financing is definitely going to attract a large number of not only Honda fans, but also fans of motorsport and legendary drivers who are attached to vehicles. The next offer will also include other used Indy Car cars, and the intention is to expand the offer to some of its classic motorcycles.

Armored Helderburg Bellatrix based on the Land Rover Defender

In the last few years, we have seen several modified Land Rover Defenders capable of protecting passengers from armed attacks, and one was recently presented by the American company Helderburg. It is the Bellatrix armored vehicle that looks like it came from the movies of the most famous secret agent James Bond. Price, just over 545,000 euros.

Helderburg plans to produce three copies of this model, and each will be equipped with an improved suspension, new brakes, hidden openings for weapons, a smoke screen system for evasive maneuvers, side mirrors through which tear gas can be used, reinforced bumpers for breaking through obstacles, a system of spikes for puncturing tires, and tires that allow movement even when punctured. There is also a hidden hatch for evacuation in case of need.

The interior is upholstered in a combination of leather and Alcantara, while the door panels and comfortable seats are covered with soft material. In front of the driver is a steering wheel with a wooden finish, and there is a classic dashboard. However, the central display supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

When it comes to powertrains, Helderburg offers a choice of a turbodiesel engine and a gasoline V8 engine.
