Redesigned Audi e-tron GT

In response to the Porsche Taycan, in 2021 Audi introduced a bold looking car, the Audi e-tron GT. It is an all-electric car that will soon receive its redesigned edition. However, before the official premiere of the new e-tron GT, Audi revealed a prototype of this model.

A first look reveals minor design changes compared to the current generation. These include a new front bumper with redesigned intakes, a new front fascia, and a redesigned rear diffuser. The car shown features a new set of aerodynamically optimized rims in black, and it has been announced that it will also be equipped with a new active suspension with hydraulic actuators. This will enable new adjustment options, which will give the driver a wider range of driving modes and settings, and ultimately further increase the comfort and driving dynamics of the electric model.

The biggest changes will be under the hood. At the top of the range of the new e-tron GT will be the RS Performance version, which will have more than 646 hp (482 kW). This is the same power that the current RS e-tron GT has, but still less than the competitor Porsche Taycan Turbo S, which has 952 hp (710 kW).

Audi hasn’t revealed much about the mechanical and technological improvements that come with the redesigned edition. However, if we look at the recently updated Porsche Taycan, the new e-tron GT has more powerful electric motors, faster charging up to 320 kW instead of up to 270 kW, and there is talk of a battery larger than 105 kWh, which would mean a longer range. As a reminder, the current generation is equipped with a 93.4 kWh battery.

Although Audi hasn’t announced when the new e-tron GT will premiere, it’s certain that we won’t have to wait long.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 with 710 HP

In 2023, Mercedes-AMG introduced a high performance, better equipped variant of the GT 4-Door, Mercedes-AMG GT 63. This is the second generation of this powerful model with outstanding performance, which the German tuner OPUS Automotive raised to a higher level.

Under the bonnet is still the 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, but now with 710 hp (529 kW) and 701 lb-ft lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque, to make the car more attractive to adrenaline junkies. As a reminder, the standard AMG GT 63 has 577 hp (430 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3 seconds, which is 0.4 seconds faster than the factory model. It reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.5 seconds, with a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph).

Opus has upgraded over a hundred Mercedes-AMG models so far, including the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series with 1,111 hp (828 kW) and the R777 GT R with 777 hp (571 kW) and 625 lb-ft (847 Nm) of torque. This model is based on the GT R, and is equipped with improved suspension that provides better stability in all driving situations, rear spoiler like the one used by AMG GT4 race cars which increases downforce, carbon front vents (which makes the front of the car look even more aggressive), improved brake cooling system, and high performance brake calipers.

Opus is also announcing a new enhancement package for this model, which will increase the engine output to 812 hp (606 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. More information about this improvement package will be available soon.

Mate Rimac received a personalized Nevera

In June 2021, Rimac Automobili introduced one of the most powerful and fastest electric cars, Nevera. Three years later, the founder and CEO of the company, Mate Rimac, announced that he had received a specially designed example of Nevera.

Mate Rimc announced this news on his Facebook profile and chose an elegant and attractive car design in burgundy color, with a black interior stitched with red stitching. The car is decorated with several details such as the Croatian flag on the side mirrors, an embroidered silhouette of “Solinjanka” (women from the old town of Solin) in front of the driver on a dashboard covered in black Alcantara, personalized seats covered in red Alcantara with embroidered “K8” (Kate – dedicated to his wife Katarina) on passenger and “M8” (Mait – dedicated to himself) on the driver’s seat, and a host of other emblems imported into the backrests.

The Rimac Nevera is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in just 1.97 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 219 mph (352 km/h). It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh.

In 2022, the Nevera reached a speed of 412 km/h (256 mph), making it the fastest production electric car in the world. “An incredible speed of 412 km/h is not something you do every day. When we decided to confirm this speed, we made sure we had everything we needed, a location that would give us enough space to reach speed and stop safely, the right tires that are in this case the Michelin Cup 2R, an expert to check their condition, a special Nevera aero profile that reduces the downforce at the front of the car balancing it for stability and a man on a mission to join the 400+ club , our test and development driver Miro,” it was announced from the company.
