VW Magotan only for Chinese customers

In August 2023, Volkswagen presented the new generation of its business sedan, the VW Passat, which will be offered in Europe only as a station wagon. However, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China (MIIT), the German manufacturer intends to soon introduce a new generation Magotan model, the Chinese version of the VW Passat.

The Chinese car market is growing day by day, and Volkswagen is looking to strengthen its position with a car based on the European Passat. However, the designers have also introduced certain changes such as a more squared-off front end, a larger grille and headlights that have thinner lines than the Passat’s.

At the rear, the lights that stretch across the trunk appear to be taken from the ID. electric cars. Also, there are no visible exhaust pipes in the photos. It is not known when the car should hit the market, so we will have to wait for more information.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Magotan is rumored to be powered by a 217 hp (162 kW) 2.0-liter DTJ engine. A hybrid option was not mentioned, so it seems that the car will only be offered with ICE.

The Lamborghini Urus Performante is a lighter and more powerful version of the most famous Lamborghini SUV, which arrived on the market in mid-2022, with a price of 218,487 euros. Soon, he became part of the Italian police force, and now he has joined the Dubai Police as well.

Dubai is known for a large number of super powerful and fast cars, and the police force of this emirate tries to respond to the task to ensure better traffic safety and prevent those who like to press the gas pedal more than necessary. Urus Performante is definitely a car that can answer all tasks, and it was delivered during the Dubai Airshow.

Major General Ahmed Mohammed bin Thani said the Urus Performante will support the Dubai Police in better serving the public, maintaining security and providing services at popular tourist destinations.

Compared to the standard Urus, the Performante is equipped with wide wheel arches, a new front and rear bumper that lengthen the Performante by an additional 25 mm, a roof spoiler with carbon wings, an Akrapovič exhaust system, a new diffuser, a differential that distributes torque more efficiently and a recalibrated front wheel steering system increases the downforce of the car by an additional 8 percent and improves its performance. There is also a green and white livery with a police logo.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Lamborghini Urus Performante is powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with 657 hp (490 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h). Power is sent to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox with limited slip central differential.

Czinger announces six unique cars by 2030

After the presentation of the two supercars Czinger 21C and Czinger 21C V Max, the American manufacturer of hybrid sports cars, Czinger, announced the production of six unique cars in the next six years, including the Hyper GT with gullwing doors.

The news was announced by Kevin and Lukas Czinger in an interview with Top Gear, when they said: “It’s going into production. We wanted to deliver fully certified examples of the 21C in 2023, so I was focused on just that. Also, now we have companies like Aston Martin and Mercedes, who are our clients, as well as large companies from the aerospace and defense sectors. Among them is General Atomics, with whom we work on drones the size of an F16 fighter jet. We took a drone that had 184 fuselage components and reduced that number to four. We reduced the production time from 12 days to 12 hours. Now other aerospace companies come to us and ask us how we did it.”

The 21C V Max was introduced last summer, and is powered by a 2.88L twin-turbo V8 engine combined with two electric motors with a total power of up to 1,350 hp (993 kW). Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential transmission with hydraulic clutch.

“In the long term, Czinger as a brand will always lead a policy of low volume and high performance, but we are developing new technologies, new engine configurations, new gearboxes and electric motors together with cooling systems. All of this will come to the mass market over time. We are already less – more designed our new vehicle. It’s going to be a pretty amazing car. The Hyper GT is one option, I can’t say more than that. But I will say that our goal is to produce six unique cars by the end of the decade,” said Lukas, Kevin’s son and businessman partner.
