50 years of the Porsche 911 Turbo

In 1975, Porsche introduced the first production turbocharged 911. Half a century later, the American company Singer Vehicle Design decided to pay tribute to this legendary model with four versions (Cabriolet, Targa, Coupe and “flachbau”). Only 25 cars will be produced and all are already sold out.

Like all other Singer cars, these also stay true to the originals when it comes to design, with the exception of minor changes. The wheel arches are wider, while the darkened details of the exterior have been given more contours, and the position of the exhaust pipes has also been changed. All cars will be equipped with the Bosch traction control and electronic stability control system.

The cars will still use an improved version of the original Mezger 6-cylinder engines, but thanks to a new twin-turbo system and an intercooler, power has been increased to 524 hp (391 kW). The engines are mated to vintage 6-speed manual transmissions, sending power to the rear wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

2025 BYD Seal with more tech

In 2022, China’s largest manufacturer of electric cars introduced its second electric car, a mid-size sedan, the BYD Seal. Now a refreshed version of this model is coming to the market for the 2025 model year.

BYD improved the suspension, installed the latest generation of Disus-C adaptive shock absorbers for better stability, comfort and handling, improved safety. LiDAR is installed on the roof, which will improve semi-autonomous car driving systems, improved navigation and Autopilot, as well as automatic parking functions.

The interior has also undergone certain changes, such as a redesigned steering wheel, center console and dashboard, and there is a new glossy black panel that runs the entire width of the cabin.

The biggest change is the new 800-volt architecture instead of the previous 400-volt one. This shortened the charging time of the battery, which can now be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 25 minutes, instead of 37 minutes. The new Seal will be available with two batteries with a capacity of 61.44 and 80.64 kWh, and a range of 510 and 650 kilometers.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Seal will be powered by a single electric motor with 231 HP (172 kW) and RWD. More powerful variants with RWD will have 312 hp (230 kW). However, those looking for even better performance will be able to choose a model with two electric motors, 530 hp (390 kW) and AWD.
