2022 Tushek TS900 Apex is the lightest hybrid hypercar

On Thursday, April 21, the Slovenian company Tushek will present the lightest hybrid hypercar, TS900 Apex. It is a car intended for speed enthusiasts who have failed to become owners of the Koenigsegg One: 1.

The Tushek TS900 Apex has the world’s highest power density drivetrain (TDED). It is powered by two electric motors combined with a petrol engine with a total power of 1,351 hp (994 kW) and 1,239 lb-ft (1,680 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 2.3 seconds and 124 mph in 7.4 seconds, 186 mph in 17.2 seconds. The top speed that this hyper car can reach is 236 mph (380 km / h).

Rumor has it that it will be powered by a 4.2-liter V8 engine paired with two electric motors, whose total power would be 950 hp (699 kW). Thanks to the carbon chassis and body, the weight of the car has been reduced to 1,343 kg.

The super-fast hybrid hypercar, with a drivetrain based on aircraft technology combined with an internal combustion engine, will be produced in just 36 units priced at 1.5 million euros. Tushek will also present a race car, the TS900 RacerPro, which will be produced in just 12 copies.

2023 Ferrari Purosangue will be a limited edition

While we are waiting for the world premiere of Ferrari Purosangue, information is coming from the company that there will be a limited edition. Ferrari will give preference to existing customers when selling its first SUV, and if there are special versions in the future, they will be even rarer.

2023 Ferrari Purosangue will be a limited edition

With its first SUV, Ferrari strives, in an efficient way, to attract first-time buyers, but also younger ones. We recently saw the first photos suggesting what Purosangue should look like. The darkened image of the upcoming SUV shows that the front grille is located low in the bumper with a prancing horse located in its central part, large air intakes on the sides and thin front daytime running lights.

When it comes to the powertrain, there is no information for now. Some rumors say that the Ferrari Purosangue will be powered by a 3.0-liter turbo V6 engine with 654 hp (488 kW) and an electric motor with 164 hp (123 kW), for a total of 818 hp (610 kW) and 546 lb -ft 740 Nm) of torque. Some even mention a 6.5-liter V12 or a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. These are all guesses, and time will tell what Ferrari will offer us with their first SUV.

Ferrari still keeps many things a secret. Either way, let’s wait until the end of the year when the Ferrari Purosangue will have its world premiere.

Tesla Model Y

If you were planning to buy a Tesla Model Y, you could wait because a cheaper version with a better battery is coming soon. It is a car with equipment that has not been seen before, and the company reportedly delivered several such versions to its employees at the Giga Rodeo event in Texas last week.

The new Model Y is equipped with a 4,680-cell battery, which is twice as much as the current ones used by Tesla. The battery has five times the capacity, which allows the company to increase the range of its vehicles or use fewer batteries to achieve the same range, thus potentially reducing costs.

The current Model Y in the new Standard Range AWD version has a range of 449 kilometers and accelerates to 62 mph in five seconds. It costs $ 59,000, which is $ 3,000 less than the Long Range AWD version.

With the new model, Tesla is trying to present its strategy of producing a $ 25,000 car. While it will take time for a new battery to come into every Tesla electric car, it should still help maintain prices and improve range.
