GM Automotive T.33

After the sports car T.50, the British car company GM Automotive introduced a new model, the T.33. The company claims that the new sports car is more intended for everyday use than its predecessor.

The car is made in a combination of carbon-aluminum, as well as T50. It is powered by Cosworth’s naturally aspirated 3.9-liter V12 engine with 607 hp (446 kW) at 10,500 rpm and 334 lb-ft (451 Nm) of torque at 9,500 rpm. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual Xtrack transmission. A 6-speed manual transmission will be available as an option.

“It’s a beautiful timeless design. The engineering artistry extends throughout the entire car, from bespoke switches to engine components that are pure sculpture. Everything you see has a function, nothing is superfluous. It’s the beauty of simplicity,” Murray said.

T.33 is 110 kg heavier than T.50. It is equipped with new suspension, double front and rear levers, new aluminum shock absorbers, Brembo carbon ceramics brakes, forged aluminum 19 and 20 inch rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

There is no information about the performance yet. GM Automotive said it will produce only 100 units of the T.33 model, and each will cost € 1.64 million. The price of the T.50 model is € 2.83 million.

Rimac Automobili, which recently became the majority owner of Bugatti, is one of the leaders in the world of cars and automotive technology. Their latest electric hypercar, Rimac Nevera, set a record in charging power.

Nevera is fully manufactured in Croatia. It has a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120 kWh. Thanks to four individually powered wheels, the Nevera has 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in just 1.97 seconds with a top speed of 258 mph (413 km / h), and has a range of 342 miles (550 km).

The world was impressed by the charging power of the Tesla V3 Supercharger, Porsche Taycan and Hyundai Ioniq 5 with charging power between 250 and 260 kW, and Lucid with 300 kW. Then came Rimac. He connected Nevera to the IONITY charger and achieved amazing results.
