2022 DeLorean EVolved as EV

In 1975, a car was born that would become an icon of the film industry ten years later. It is a DeLorean that, according to the announcements of the DeLorean Motor Company, should get a successor called EVolved.

It is a modern version of the legendary DeLorean, which was announced last year. The car became famous thanks to the Back to the Future film trilogy. The design will be done by Italdesign, founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro, who also designed the original DeLorean.

For now, there is no information on the car’s specifications. There is a lot of speculation. Some rumors say it will retain a recognizable shape, while others say it could be a limited edition. None of this has been confirmed. The only thing that can be said for sure is that it will not be cheap.

The first DeLorean Motor Company was founded in 1975, and in 1982 it ended in receivership and bankruptcy. The current DeLorean Motor Company was founded by British Stephen Wynne. The company deals with repairs and reconstructions of original cars. They tried several times to bring the legendary car back to life, but without success.

2022 Maserati Grecale announced for late March

Although the 2022 Maserati Grecale was supposed to be unveiled last year, which did not happen due to well-known reasons for the lack of microchips, it will happen at the end of March this year. It will be the second Maserati crossover, which will find its place below the Levante model.

Maserati announced the arrival of Grecale with teasers that reveal the design of this car. During testing, Grecale was covered in camouflage, which did not hide much. The front grille with the Maserati logo is something that is standard on every Maserati model. There are also large front brake discs and calipers. The shape of the rear of the vehicle with four exhaust pipes is also reminiscent of a larger Levante SUV.

When it comes to the powertrain, there is no information. It is assumed that it could use a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 621 hp (457 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque, from the Maserati MC20. Some rumors say it could also be a 2.9-liter V6 engine with 505 hp (371 kW) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque, from the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Also, Maserati intends to offer an electric version, but so far there is no confirmation.

Mercedes AMG EQE53 and EQE43

Electrification of Mercedes vehicles continues with the recently introduced AMG models, EQE53 and EQE43. The Affalterbach company has made an effort to offer Mercedes electric models with a lot of potential.

Both models share design with other EQE models, and are equipped with adjustable suspension, 90.6 kWh battery pack that provides a range of 321 miles (518 kilometers), as well as optional carbon-ceramic brakes that ensure a safe stop and are a good option for the vehicle which weighs over 2.5 tons.

The Mercedes-AMG EQE53 and EQE43 are powered by two electric motors with different numbers of horsepower. The Mercedes-AMG EQE53 has 625 hp (460 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 137 mph (220 km / h). If you want more power, there is an optional Dynamic Plus package that delivers 677 hp (498 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,001 Nm) of torque, available in a limited time. In this case, the car reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 149 mph (240 km / h).

The smaller version, the EQE43, has 476 hp (350 kW) and 633 lb-ft (858 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to reach 62 mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (210 km / h).
