Rimac Automobili announced mysterious cars

A lot can be said about Rimac Automobili. They are one of the best manufacturers of electric hypercars, and recently became a majority shareholder in Bugatti Rimac. They often use social media to publish news about their own activities, and this time they answered questions from followers.

The questions were mostly related to Nevera production, and some of them were: “Can a customer pick any color for Nevera, or you have a set of colors predefined?”, “What’s the hardest part about making a vehicle?”. Now, we know that it takes over 1.5 million working hours to produce one car. Of course, this refers to overall development and not just manufacturing. Also, the customer can select from 36 exterior paint options plus bespoke liveries and carbon tints. Among the many aspects that go into creating and producing a Hypercar, there is a meticulous area that goes unseen, the organization required to handle the wiring throughout the Nevera.

Some were interested in what we can expect from Rimac Automobile in the future. The answer was mysterious. They posted a photo of four covered cars with the message “All in deu time…”. Could we expect new models soon? Also, some wanted to know why they decided to make electric cars, and Rimac Automobili answered “We chose to pursue electric hypercars because we are passionate about innovation and the potential performance from electric.”

2023 Honda Civic Type R with 320 HP

On July 20, Honda presented the eleventh and last non-hybrid generation Civic Type R. Although the performance of the new Civic Type R has not been revealed, it is now known that the improved engine, from the 10th generation, has 320 horsepower.

The new generation has a longer wheelbase and a wider wheel track compared to its predecessor. It is also equipped with improved suspension and a set of 19-inch rims with slightly wider Michelin tires. Honda is hiding a lot, including the weight of a car that showed its full potential at the beginning of the year during its last tests. On the Suzuka circuit, it was faster than the Civic Type R Limited Edition by 0.8 seconds, setting a lap time of 2:23:1.

The new Honda Civic Type R is powered by an improved 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 320 hp (235 kW) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm). Power is transmitted to the front axle, which will be assisted by a limited differential lock, via a 6-speed manual transmission.

Honda claims that the new Civic Type R is the best so far. We hope that we will not wait long when it will show its capabilities on the famous German track Nürburgring Nordschleife, where it will try to repeat the result of the previous generation, the fastest front-wheel drive car.

City without speeding tickets

What would you do if you lived in a city where the police couldn’t fine you for speeding? According to THV11, police in the city of Menifee, Arkansas will not be able to ticket drivers for speeding for the next year.

As reported by the local media, this situation is the result of a large number of fines in the last four years, when 2,318 drivers were fined for speeding. Too much for a town with a population of 274. Two years ago, it was determined that the revenue from speeding tickets was almost half of the city budget. However, Arkansas appears to have a law that says revenue from traffic tickets cannot exceed 30 percent of the city’s budget.

A 2020 report showed that the revenue from fines was $120,000, which is why the police cannot fine drivers for a period of one year. When asked by THV11, Mayor Gary Green said that the police were authorized to tolerate 10 mph over the speed limit, but that the officers did not do so. He also said that the increase in revenue for 2020 is the result of paying fines from previous years.

Dear Menifee residents, enjoy driving at a reasonable speed.
