Ford Fiesta WRC vs Formula 1 vs Formula E

Drag races are very popular, and for the end of the year Top Gear has prepared a real treat, a race between Ford Fiesta WRC, Formula 1 car and Formula E. To make it more interesting, the race was held on asphalt soaked in water.

The DS Automobiles Formula E car is fully electric with 338 hp (250 kW) powered by a 54 kWh battery. With a weight of 903 kg, it reaches 62 mph in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 143 mph (230 km / h).

The Ford Fiesta WRC is powered by a turbocharged 1.6 L Ford EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine with 380 hp (280 kW) and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a six-speed sequential manual transmission. With a weight of 1,190kg, it reaches 62 mph in 4 seconds with a top speed of more than 124 mph (200 km / h).

The Mercedes AMG Formula 1 W10 EQ Power + is powered by a 1.6 L V6 engine that, combined with an electric motor, develops a total of 1,000 hp (735 kW). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed sequential transmission. It weighs only 743 kg and reaches 60 mph in approximately 2.6 seconds with a top race speed of 223 mph (360 km / h).

Let’s get back to the race. The bast start had the Ford Fiesta WRC, which was the leader half of the race. But then the Formula 1 car showed the best it knows. Leaves them all far behind and crosses the line first.

Mansory’s first showroom in Dubai

Due to growing demand, the German tuning company Mansory has expanded its operations to the Middle East market by opening its first showroom in Dubai. On that occasion, customers will be offered three special models called “Special UAE.”

Mansory, which is known for upgrading expensive cars, gave potential buyers the opportunity to enjoy upgraded Rolls-Royce Cullinans, Lamborghini Urus and Mercedes G-Class in the AMG version. Each model comes in a two-tone configuration, gray or purple. Also, there are Venatus Evo S equipment kit for Lamborghini Urus, Gronos equipment kit for Mercedes-AMG G class and Billionaire equipment kit for Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The MANSORY Coastline, based on Rolls-Royce Cullinan, is powered by a 6.7-liter twin-turbo V12 engine with 610 hp (449 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power compared to the standard model, which has 563 hp (414 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The car is mounted on 24-inch “FS23” multispoke wheels.

The MANSORY Venatus, based on the Lamborghini Urus, is powered by a 4.0 L FSI twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 880 hp (647 kW) and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque. The standard Urus has 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. The car is mounted on 24-inch light-alloy wheels type “CV.7 Air” wrapped in 295 / 30R24 (front) and 355 / 25R24 (rear) tires.

MANSORY Gronos, based on the Mercedes-AMG G63, is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Thanks to larger turbochargers that inject more air into the engine, the engine produces 850 hp (634 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1000 Nm) of torque which is impressive for an SUV. The Base G63 has 577 hp (424 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox that transmits power to all wheels. The car accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h).

Although these are limited series, Mansory has not announced how many copies it will offer. The price is also unknown, but it is to be expected that they will cost more than the already expensive original models.

The driver continued to drive the damaged Porsche after the accident

Following a call from other drivers that the damaged Porsche was on the road, a police patrol near Cobham, UK, responded to the call. When they stopped the car, they were surprised by what they saw.

After the accident, the driver of the Porsche Boxster continued driving in the damaged car. He dragged the rear bumper down the road, while other parts fell off while driving. The rear lights also did not work, and it is unknown in what condition the car is under the sheet metal.

Of course, the surprise doesn’t stop there, because the police officers were especially surprised by the owner’s explanation. The owner said in a calm tone that he had just had a car accident on the M25 road in Kent, and “concluded that it was ok” to continue driving. Police officers immediately performed an alcohol test which showed a certain percentage of alcohol in the blood, but within the allowed limit.
