Ferrari rewarded its employees with 12,000 EUR

For 2022, Ferrari has prepared its first SUV, the Ferrari Purosangue, and the first deliveries can be expected in 2023. Ferrari claims to have orders for all of this year’s production. According to a recently released report for 2021, Ferrari has achieved a historic result when it comes to sales. 11,155 cars were delivered worldwide, which is 22 percent more than in 2020. The highest sales were recorded in the largest Ferrari market (Europe, Africa, Middle East), 49.2 percent. Also, sales growth was achieved in the markets of Asia and North America.

These are impressive results given that Ferrari had no SUVs on offer, unlike the competitors. The highest demand was for models with a V8 engine (34.6 percent), while demand for a V12 engine fell.

Mikhail Litvin destroyed the BMW M5 Competition

People are ready to do anything just to attract attention, like a Russian vlogger who destroyed several expensive cars. This time Mikhail Litvin destroyed the BMW M5 Competition.

Two years ago, Litvin destroyed his Mercedes AMG GT 63 S because it often broke down. He said that Mercedes allegedly refused to fix it, so he decided to set it on fire. Last year, at a Porsche showroom, he sat in a Taycan Turbo S and went straight through the portals, claiming he pressed the wrong pedal.

Late last year, vlogger Said Gubdensky died in a car accident while driving a BMW M4 Competition. He lost control of the vehicle and collided with a Mercedes GL, then bounced and crashed into a Volvo XC90. Gubdensky died at the scene before the ambulance arrived, while his co-driver died at the hospital from severe injuries.

In his honor, Litvin decided to destroy his BMW M5 Competition. First, he made a barbecue and ate a couple of sausages. Then, he spilled gasoline on the car, went to a safe distance and hit the car with a flaming arrow. Many will condemn this act, for a reason or not, believing that he could have paid homage to a friend in another way. His car, his decision.

The smell of new Nissan cars

In the process of car production, every detail is taken into account. It is not enough to just assemble the parts, but also pay attention to how the cars will smell, because different materials are used in the production process. For this reason, Nissan has smellmasters who check the odors of all production cars.

When choosing a car, the first thing we check is comfort. However, what leaves the biggest impression, although we do not pay attention to it, is the smell. This is checked by smellmasters, and one of them is Ryunosuke Ino. It may sound strange, but their job is complex and responsible. They must not be smokers, consume garlic, and their work clothes must not be washed with detergent.

Just as different versions of the same car model are produced for different markets, so do cars for different markets do not smell the same. Bad smell is what will surely keep you away from buying a vehicle. A person can register hundreds of different scents, and most of them remain stored in memory and are associated with certain feelings. Therefore, odors are essential and are checked specifically for the driver and all passengers. It is especially important how the surfaces closest to the passengers smell.

Odor assessment is performed in a special laboratory with equipment that precisely controls humidity and temperature. Smellmasters have only a few minutes, because the brain quickly gets used to a smell. That’s why each of them has their own way of “resetting.” Ino does this by sniffing his hand in the elbow area, which is a recognizable scent that brings him back to the beginning.
