Porsche 911 Turbo Study

California-based Singer has so far offered wealthy customers around the world restored and modified Porsche 911 Coupé and Targa based on the Porsche 964 Series. They are powered by air-cooled 6-cylinder boxer engines without turbochargers. Now, Singer will present its first reimagined turbocharged Porsche 911 Turbo Study.

The inspiration for this model was the legendary Porsche 930 Turbo with a turbocharger. Each car will be made according to the wishes and needs of the future owner, like the example in the photos. The car is painted in Wolf Blue, and is equipped with improved suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. Inside, sports electrically adjustable seats are upholstered in leather, and there are also wood, cork and granite accents.

After numerous tests, the Porsche 911 Turbo Study will premiere in late June. It is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, and Singer says it will have around 450 hp (330 kW). Power will be transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. AWD will also be available as an option.

There is currently a lot of interest in this model, which surprised Stinger. So far, 70 orders have been received. Also, Stinger did not say how much Turbo Study will cost.

Starman, where are you?

You may remember Starman, the doll Elon Musk sent into space in the Tesla Roadster. It was the beginning of SpaceX’s success and a new way to spread the message that one day humans will travel to distant planets.

You may be wondering, where is he at the moment? Well, thanks to Whereisroadster.com, we can find out his position in space. It is currently moving towards Mars, at a speed of at least 27,000 km / h. The current position is as much as 377 million kilometers from Earth and about 320 million kilometers from Mars.

When it comes to the condition of the car, it is not good. Scientists believe that due to radiation, all materials disintegrated, such as leather seats, glass or plastic. The only thing that could withstand high levels of radiation are aluminum parts. The cameras stopped working a long time ago. So far, Starman has completed about 2,6284 orbits around the Sun since launch.

Audi will stop offering Q2 and A1 models

In 2016, Audi introduced the Q2 crossover. Six years later, Audi announced in its plans that this model would no longer be on offer. The reason is the decision to focus on the production of larger and more expensive models in the future.

Two years ago, Audi introduced a redesigned version of this model. The new decision to stop offering the Q2 crossover also includes the A1 model, so that only the A3 model will remain in Audi’s C segment.

Like other major car manufacturers, Audi is focused on electrification. It was previously announced that Audi will present the last models to be powered by internal combustion engines in 2026, and the cessation of production of these engines is planned for 2033.

Audi is currently testing an A4 B10 model that is considered to be the last in this Series with an internal combustion engine. The Audi A4 B10 is built on the current MLB platform and will be powered by several engine types. Mild-hybrid 2.0 TFSI four-cylinder engine with 48-volt battery pack. Power will be transmitted to all wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Plug-in hybrid 2.0 in-line four engine combined with an electric motor that delivers a total of 362 hp (266 kW). It will be equipped with an 11.3 kWh lithium-ion battery.

By the end of 2022, Audi will expand its range of electric cars with the Q6 E-Tron model. The car will be built on the PPE platform that Audi developed with Porsche.
