Leave a comment

Although Volkswagen announced the arrival of the ID.2X electric crossover in a few years, the successor to the T-Cross is coming a little earlier. It is an off-road version of the new ID.2, and it will debut at IAA Mobility in September 2025.

Volkswagen has not yet released a lot of information about the car, but what we know for now is that the ID.2X will have a robust design with a lot of protective components. It will be 4.1 meters long (like the T-Cross) with a wheelbase of 2,600 millimeters (50 mm longer than the T-Cross). The cabin will be equipped with a new 10.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.9-inch central display, as well as buttons for the air conditioning and radio volume.

The car will be based on a shortened version of the MEB platform and will be powered by a single electric motor with 223 hp. It will use two batteries of different capacities, 38 kWh and 56 kWh. A larger battery will enable a range of about 450 kilometers.

When it comes to price, it is expected that the ID.2X will cost around 30,000 euros.

2024 Mercedes AMG GT Concept E Performance

After the presentation of the CLA concept and the announcement of a smaller version of the G-Class, Mercedes presented another car, but this time it is a powerful sports plug-in hybrid, the Mercedes AMG GT Concept E Performance.

The AMG GT Concept E Performance is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 twin-tube engine combined with an electric motor, with a total power of more than 800 hp (588 kW), which is more than the AMG GT Black Series (720 hp). Specifications have not been released, but it should be noted that the GT63 S four-door coupe E Performance with 831 hp (611 kW) and the S63 E Performance with 791 hp (582 kW) have a similar powertrain. It sits on 21″ wheels wrapped in 295/30 ZR 21 Michelin Pilot Sport S tires.

The car attracted the attention of all visitors, and at first glance one cannot notice a big difference compared to the Mercedes-AMG GT. A combination of black and red adorns the exterior of this racer that comes with an optional rear wing and carbon-ceramic brakes with gold brake calipers. The charging port is located on the rear bumper.

2023 Mercedes Vision One-Eleven

In 1969, Mercedes presented the experimental car C 111, with a fiberglass body shell and a mid-mounted three-rotor direct fuel injected Wankel engine. Only 16 examples were produced, and three months ago the German car manufacturer unveiled a car that resembles this model, the Mercedes Vision One-Eleven. The car is currently exhibited at the IAA Mobility, Munich.

Mercedes has always been ahead of its time when it comes to design, and that’s the case with this retro-style car, with its sleek body and gullwing doors. The new front pixelated mask with LEDs that mimic the C111’s fog lights, massive front spoiler, massive side skirts, massive rear diffuser and massive wheels, leave a powerful impression at first sight.

The interior is done in a combination of recycled polyester and orange leather with a few chrome accessories. It reflects a paradigm shift from a sports car to an autonomous electric vehicle in the super sports car segment and unites two completely different states of existence. It is equipped with two low-slung seats, a dashboard with a full-width LED pixel display and a small touch screen connected to the steering column. There is also an augmented-reality headset that turns the entire interior into the user interface, with 3D controls, icons, and maps for navigation.

The Mercedes Vision One-Eleven is powered by four YASA electric motors with a total power of around 2,000 hp (1,471 kW). It is equipped with a new battery with high performance cylindrical cells with liquid cooling.
