New Skoda Superb

From the Czech car manufacturer Skoda, a new generation of Superb models is coming soon.

Recently, the first official sketches of the new Superb model appeared, according to which Kolesa magazine made renderings of its possible appearance. It seems like the new model could keep a proven look. The car will have a lower roofline and wide and thin taillights.

Exterior design coordinator Petr Matusinec said earlier this year that the new Superb will follow an evolutionary approach when it comes to the exterior. The first sketches showed similar proportions and design lines as with the model that is still available in salons.

European customers recognize the practicality of the Skoda models, compared to the competition. The new Superb will be slightly larger than its predecessor, to leave enough market space for the current Octavia.

Prototypes with a production body and headlights are expected soon, and when they appear on the road, we’ll probably have an even clearer picture of what to expect from the new D-segment model.

The new Skoda Superb is intended for the European market, and the arrival is expected in 2023.

Audi and Lamborghini traffic accident

From the United States comes a video of the accident in which Audi and Lamborghini were involved. Although the video shows who is to blame for the car accident, believe it or not, the girl from Audi blamed the driver of the Lamborghini for the accident. As the footage shows, the driver of the Lamborghini stops at a red traffic light. At that moment, the driver of the Audi, while changing the lane, crashed into the back of a Lamborghini. Fortunately, no one was injured, and insurance will likely cover the damage on the Lamborghini.

Ironically, the Lamborghini Aventador bears the Beep license plate, referring to the car owner’s business. That’s Matt Heller, owner of HornBlasters, a company that makes powerful sirens and advertises itself as a solution for all small cars whose drivers want their voice heard as well.

All in all, enough to emphasize once again how important it is for a driver in traffic to be focused solely on driving. If a minor accident happens, try to react calmly. First help the injured, and only then do the rest.

13 neglected Porsche 928 models

Maybe the Porsche 928 isn’t a favorite model of fans of the German brand, but no one likes to see neglected cars falling apart. This is exactly what happens in the case of the 13 units of this model.

The neglected Porsche 928 models were found on a property in the United States. The cars fall into disrepair over time, but the owner does not worry about it, stating that he does not want to restore them, but neither does he want to sell them. The property is covered by surveillance cameras to prevent theft of cars or their parts.

The Porsche 928 was produced from 1978 to 1995, which is a rather enviable period of 17 years. It is a sports car with a front-mounted engine, which has had some success in the US.

The Porsche 928 was powered by four engine types:

  • 4.5 liter engine with 237 hp (177 kW) / 219 hp (222 hp; 163 kW) in North America, and 268 lb-ft (363 Nm) of torque;
  • 4.7 liter engine with 296 hp (221 kW) / 229 hp (167 kW) for North America only;
  • 5.0 liter engine with 288 hp (215 kW) for North America;
  • 5.4 liter engine with 345 hp (257 kW).
