2025 Hyundai Inster

At the 2024 Busan Motor Show, Hyundai will launch a new model in the A segment, its first for the European market. It is an all-electric Hyundai Inster that will have a range of 355 kilometers and an affordable price.

Before the premiere, Hyundai released a teaser announcing the arrival of a new model that will be sold on the Korean market under the name Casper Electric. It will be an evolution of the gasoline version Casper, which is on sale in some Asian markets from 2022.

The car is inspired by compact SUV models, and the solutions that the Korean manufacturer uses on its other electric vehicles are also applied, such as the large LED daytime running lights at the front and the pixel lights at the back that we can see on the Ioniq 5.

There are no details about the powertrain for now, and more information will be known after the premiere on June 27.

The successor to the Bugatti Chiron will be revealed on June 20

After eight years of production of one of the most powerful cars and the pride of Bugatti, the Chiron, the time has come for this model to say goodbye. Its latest version, the Bugatti Chiron L’Ultime, was revealed recently and now we know its successor. It’s a hypercar that will be revealed on June 20.

Bugatti is still keeping the technical data a secret, and what is known for now is that the successor to the Chiron will be powered by an atmospheric V16 hybrid engine with around 1,800 hp (1,342 kW), as a replacement for the current W16 engine. According to unofficial information, the new engine will allow the hypercar to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in two seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in less than 5 seconds, while the speed of 300 km/h (186 mph) reach in less than 10 seconds. Top speed will be electronically limited to 446 km/h (277 mph).

The car will be produced in only 250 copies and the first deliveries will start in 2026.

The recently produced 500th example of the Chiron and its final edition, the Bugatti Chiron L’Ultime, is powered by an 8.0-L W16 quad-turbo engine with 1,600 hp (1,193 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all wheels. The top speed is 440 km/h (273 mph).

“This 500th and last Chiron is a fitting farewell and radiates a legacy that will forever be part of automotive history, while also paving the way for a brighter new chapter. The journey begins with the production of the Bolide and the W16 Mistral and continues with the launch of our new model in June.” said the President of Bugatti Automobiles Christophe Piochon.

Restomod Porsche 911 Carrera 2.8 RSR costs 349,000 euros

New York based company RSR Project, specialized in restoring, rebuilding and tailoring a cult classic for Porsche enthusiasts, has revealed its new project, the Gulf Blue 911. The car is based on the racing Porsche 911 Carrera 2.8 RSR from the 70s.

The car was specially made for an unknown customer, and the restoration process lasted 15 months. The work began with finding a CoupĂ© model from the late 80s, without accidents and a body without traces of rust. Painted in the Gulf colors that adorned Porsche’s racing models for years, and some body elements with new and lighter glasses are clearly associated with the first racing 911 with the RSR designation.

During the restoration, the engine, gearbox, suspension and brakes were rebuilt, and two-tone 15-inch Fuchs rims wrapped in Michelin tires were installed. Engine displacement is not known, but it is known that RSR Project offers restomod model buyers 3.2-L, 3.4-L or 3.5-L six-cylinder boxer options.

The dark interior is equipped with retro sports seats upholstered in a combination of black leather and fabric with seat belts, a roll cage and analogue instruments. Black leather covers the door panels and dashboard, and there are matching black carpets.

When it comes to the price, this restomod car costs 349,000 euros.
