RML Short Wheelbase based on Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta

The British company RML will use the first unit of the reproduction model RML Short Wheelbase for testing, after which it will begin manual assembly of the previously announced 30 copies. It is a car based on the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, one of the most respected Ferrari models from the late 50s and early 60s of the last century, for which rich collectors are willing to give millions.

Just over a month ago, the British company RML Group unveiled ready-made carbon panels that will be used for the body of the reproductive RML Short Wheelbase. New photos reveal that the assembly of the first unit is nearing completion in RML, and the blue pre-production car will soon be subjected to numerous tests, after which the British will start assembling 30 units that are, as expected, already reserved.

The car will be slightly lighter than the original and will be powered by an atmospheric 5.5-liter V12 engine with 478 hp (357 kW) and 419 lb-ft (568 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in about four seconds with a top speed of 186 mph (300 kph). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.

Volkswagen will keep the diesel engines

At a time when the EU is tightening regulations on CO₂ emissions, Volkswagen has found a solution for its diesel engines. To preserve four-cylinder diesel engines, Volkswagen has received a license to use biofuels, which will reduce CO₂ emissions to 10-30 percent compared to current diesel engines.

“The use of environmentally friendly fuel is approved for Volkswagen models, thus enabling customers in Europe to significantly reduce carbon emissions as soon as fuel is available locally. The use of paraffin fuel is a reasonable additional option, especially for companies with a mixed fleet of electric vehicles. and conventional propulsion,” said Professor Thomas Garbe, Volkswagen’s head of petrol and diesel fuels.

Biofuel is produced from biological residues and waste materials such as hydrotreated vegetable oil. It has been available on the market for many years (C.A.R.E diesel, NEXTBTL and HVO) and its share is expected to increase by 30 percent by the end of the decade.

According to the European standard EN 15940, the license applies to all vehicles sold from the end of the first half of 2021.
