Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

The new edition of the Jeep flagship will be offered in a shorter and longer body version (with which come three rows of seats) and five equipment packages. For the first time, the new Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe also brings an electrified plug-in hybrid drive option.

In a statement, Jeep CEO Christian Meunier said: “The Jeep Grand Cherokee is our global flagship and will be leading the Jeep brand into a new era of premium refinement, innovative technology, advanced 4×4 capability and electrification.”

Inside, there are a pair of 10.1-inch screens for the driver display and infotainment system, as well as a 10.25-inch front passenger interactive display.

The hybrid Grand Cherokee is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors with a total power of 375 hp (276 kW) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque. The capacity of the 14.0-kWh lithium-ion battery is sufficient to cover 24 miles (40 kilometers) without the use of ICE, while the total combined driving range is 440 miles (708 kilometers).

The base 3.6-liter V6 petrol engine offers 289 hp (212 kW) and 260 lb-ft (352 Nm) of torque. Optional are the Trailhawk, Overland and Summit equipment packages with a 5.7-liter V8 engine delivering 362 hp (266 kW) and 390 lb-ft (529 Nm) of torque. All models use an eight-speed automatic transmission to transmit power to all wheels.

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.
