2026 BYD Han L and Tang L SUV

Leave a comment

BYD has become a leader in the electric car world in recent years, and its two new models, the Han L sedan and the Tang L SUV, are raising the bar even higher. The two models are the first to be built on the new 1,000V platform that allows for super-fast charging of 1,000 kW.

The Han L is equipped with a Blade 83.2 kWh battery that charges from 10 to 70 percent in just six minutes, and a five-minute charge provides a range of 400 km. It takes just 20 minutes to fully charge the battery. The Tang L is equipped with a larger 100.5 kWh battery that allows a five-minute charge to provide a range of 350 km, and a full charge takes slightly longer than the smaller battery, 30 minutes.

The Chinese company’s goal is to equalize the electric charging time with tank filling. The charging speed of 1,000 kW is double that of Tesla’s superchargers, which deliver up to 500 kW. This led to a rise in the company’s shares (4.1%) in China, as investors estimated that the company could strengthen its already dominant position as one of the world’s largest electric car manufacturers.

The Tang L is available in three versions. The basic rear-wheel drive version has 788 hp, while the four-wheel drive version offers as much as 1,100 hp. Depending on the trim level, the range is between 560 and 670 kilometers. When it comes to price, this model costs from 27,651 euros to 34,895 euros.

The Han L is available in two versions, powered by an electric motor with 671 hp and 420 Nm of torque, with a range of up to 701 km. When it comes to price, the LiDAR Premium version starts at 26,470 euros, while the LiDAR Flagship version is more expensive and starts at 28,885. The LiDAR Flagship version is also available with all-wheel drive. It is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 778 hp and offers a range of 601 kilometers. The price is 33,645 euros.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli got a car that he cannot drive on public roads

Andrea Kimi Antonelli is a young Italian Formula 1 driver and a member of the Mercedes F1 team since the beginning of 2025. He joined the team as a replacement for one of the best of all time, Lewis Hamilton. His team recently loaned him a Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S Coupe, but he will not be able to drive it for the next few years.

The 18-year-old is one of F1’s biggest talents, but despite recently getting his driving licence, he won’t be able to use his new car on public roads for the next three years. Under Italian law, which came into effect on December 14, 2024, new drivers cannot drive a car with more than 100 hp for the first three years.

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S Coupe is powered by a 4.0-L V8 biturbo engine with 630 hp (470 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 9-speed sequential automatic transmission.

This is Antonelli’s first Formula 1 season. He made three starts, set 1 fastest lap and managed to score 30 points, which is more than good for a rookie. Also, at the Lenovo Japanese Grand Prix, he became the youngest driver in history to lead a Formula 1 race.

Maserati 200S is the star of Milan Design Week

Between 1955 and 1959, Maserati produced just 28 units of the racing car Maserati 200S, as a successor to the Maserati A6GCS. One of them is on display in Milan at the Larusmiani boutique for this year’s Milan Design Week.

Development of this model began in 1952 as a response to Ferrari’s 500 Mondial racing model, which was powered by a four-cylinder engine. This engine proved so successful that Maserati decided to use the same option in the 200S. It was a 2.0 L 4CF2 DOHC I4 engine with 190 hp (140 kW) mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox.

This Maserati 200S was used for racing and was driven by many drivers, including Gilberto Cornacchia, son of the owner of the Maserati showroom in Milan at the time. It raced until 1960, when it was stored at Maserati’s facility until 1999. It then became part of the Panini Collection in Modena, and was later sold to a new owner who carried out a complete restoration of the car.
