Sorpasso GT3

As announced four months ago the FV Frangivento has now unveiled its new supercar, the Sorpasso GT3.

The car is made of carbon fiber and according to the customer’s wishes. The black and red combination dominates outside and inside, and the production process of this custom supercar took 30 days and included two programs, Program Sviluppo and Program Ego.

Its more aggressive look connects it to the company’s previous hyper car, the Asfanè. The Sorpasso GT3 is equipped with a large rear wing and an air conveyor on the roof. It rides on 20-inch wheels with Pirelli PZero Trofeo tires.

Inside, the best materials were used. The seats are upholstered in black leather and Alcantara with contrasting red stitching and the company logo on the header. Aluminum pedals and red flooring are just some of the accessories you’ll see once you enter the cockpit.

The Sorpasso GT3 is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine with 880 hp (647 kW). It reaches 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds with a top speed of over 211 mph (340 km / h), which is not bad for a car weighing 2866lb (1,300 kilograms).

Only three examples of this supercar have been produced, and they should reach their owners soon.

Lucid Air Dream Edition with a range of 520 miles

Did Tesla get serious competition in the driving range? Lucid Group Inc. announced that the first Air Dream Edition cars will arrive to their owners in October. The Air Dream Edition is an electric car with a longer range than Tesla. This could pose a major challenge for a market leader whose sales are not as good.

The Newark-based company, with a focus on innovation, luxury and sustainability, has begun production of its long-range sedan. The car will be offered in two versions, Performance and Range, and will be manufactured in Arizona. According to the company, the intention is to increase vehicle production to 90,000 per year.

Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson, a former chief engineer on Tesla’s Model S, said his company’s cars have an advantage when it comes to battery production technology and cost over the Model S.

“We have freed clients from the fear of anxiety about the range of the car. The next big hurdle is the cost-effectiveness of electric cars. We need to cut costs. ”

The Air Dream Edition (Performance) is powered by two electric motors with 1,111 hp (817 kW) and 1,000 + Nm of torque. It reaches 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 168 mph (270 km / h). The car is driven on 21-inch wheels with specially developed Pirelli P-Zero 245 / 35R (front) and 265 / 35R (rear) tires.

The Air Dream Edition (Range) has slightly less horsepower (933) but provides a range of 520 miles (837 kilometers), which is significantly more than the current leader Tesla Model S with a range of 412 miles (663 kilometers).
