BMW sold more electric cars in Europe than Tesla

After a long time, someone managed to remove Tesla from the throne of the best-selling electric cars in Europe, and that is BMW. It was the first time that a German manufacturer managed to surpass an American company.

The European electric car market is not looking great at the moment, and according to the latest results, sales have fallen by 6 percent compared to last year. This decline is the result of a lack of government incentives and buyers’ worries about how much their vehicles will be worth in the future. According to sales results in July, BMW sold 14,869 BEVs, which is 308 cars more than Tesla, although the Model Y is still the best-selling electric car. Tesla delivered 16 percent fewer Model Ys in July (9,544 units). The Volvo EX30 is second on the list with 6,573 cars sold, while the Volkswagen ID.4 is in third place with 5,295 cars delivered.

SUVs are still popular with 54 percent of all vehicles sold. “Customers in Europe now have more choice than ever before, and SUVs are a more comfortable and desirable option for many. These facts, along with the increasing availability of affordable models, are helping customers switch from traditional segments to SUVs,” said analyst Felipe Munoz.

If we look at the European market as a whole, total car sales in July increased by 2 percent compared to last year, with 1.03 million cars delivered. Dacia Sandero is the best-selling model with 22,398 units, Volkswagen T-Roc is second with 19,254 units sold, while third place belongs to Toyota Yaris Cross with 17,314 units sold.

5-year-old Zayn Sofuoglu drove a Lamborghini Revuelto at 312 km/h

All big followers of Formula 1 know that most of the best drivers of the “flying circus” started their careers very young, like Lance Stroll and Max Verstappen who are the youngest Formula 1 drivers ever. First, they were karting drivers and then moved to the lower categories of Formula 1 (Formula Three and Formula Two). A five-year-old boy from Turkey, Zayn Sofuoglu, who recently drove a Lamborghini Revuelto, could have the same path.

This is not the first time this little boy has driven a super powerful car. Last year he was behind the wheel of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, with which he showed on the track that he has enormous potential. Of course, the seats and pedals of the Lamborghini Revuelto were adapted to the boy, and his father Kenan Sofuoglu, who is one of the most successful Turkish motorcycle racers, was in the passenger seat.

Lamborghini Revuelto is powered by a 6.5-L L545 naturally aspirated V12 engine combined with an electric motor with a total output of 1,001 hp (746 kW) 783 lb-ft (1,062 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed Graziano dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).

On an empty track, Zayn Sofuoglu managed to reach a speed of 312 km/h, which is too fast for most adult drivers. It’s obvious that Kenan is a great mentor to his son, and that Zayn is not afraid of adrenaline. The boy is also excellent at skiing and snowboarding.
