2024 Citroën e-C3

In 2002, Citroën introduced a supermini five-door hatchback from the B-segment that replaced the Citroën Saxo, the Citroën C3. After more than 5 million cars sold, the French manufacturer brings the fourth fully electric generation of this model, the Citroën e-C3.

The car is based on Stellantis’ Smart Car Platform, and arrives with a completely new design compared to its predecessor. It is equipped with a new front fascia with a new Citroen logo, two lights in the shape of the letter “C”, new taillights, a spoiler located above the rear window, and wheels moved to the edge of the arches. It is also slightly higher than its predecessors, giving more space for passengers and luggage.

It will be offered with two equipment packages, You and Max, where the You package will include LED headlights, rear parking sensors, emergency braking system, head-up display, electric side mirrors, rear parking sensors, head-up display and cruise control. . The Max package includes a set of 17-inch wheels, two-tone bodywork, automatic wipers, electric and heated mirrors, automatic air conditioning, and a wireless charger.

Under the hood will be a single electric motor with 113 hp (83 kW), which is enough to push this little car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 11 seconds. It is equipped with a 44kWh LFP battery that, thanks to a 7 kW charger, can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in about four hours. The battery will allow a range of up to 320 kilometers.

When it comes to price, the starting price of the Citroën e-C3 will be 23,300 euros.

Hotel balcony as a parking space

Parking is something that gives a headache to every driver, especially if you are traveling to a place you are not familiar with. Well, the German hotel b’Mine offers not only a parking space but perhaps the best security for your car, the Carloft room with a parking space.

When you arrive at the hotel, you check in, collect the card and then you go with your car behind the hotel, where you have two elevators that you can use. You take your car into one of the elevators and go to your floor where you can park your car on your private balcony, which is spacious enough to accommodate most European cars, from the Volkswagen ID.3 to the Audi RS Q8.

The hotel is located near Frankfurt International Airport and offers a magnificent view of nature and surroundings. Also, hotel guests who have electric cars can use the chargers in the hotel.

Opel Kadett GSi with 900 HP

Drag races are something we often see, where various modified super powerful cars compete against each other, and at the recent Race1000 held in Germany, a very interesting car appeared, the Opel Kadett GSi with 900 HP.

This model was produced between 1984 and 1991 when it was succeeded by the Opel Astra. It was stylish for its time and was offered in several petrol and diesel options, with the GSi at the top of the range.

Opel Kadett GSi is powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder 16V Turbo engine with 900 hp, and the power is sent to the front wheels. It is equipped with a large intercooler that is located behind the front bumper, while the rest of the car does not have any additional aerodynamic components. At least we couldn’t see them.

The car was awarded the title of the fastest front-wheel drive car, reaching a speed of 298 km/h (). How powerful this car is can be seen in a clash with two very powerful sports cars, the Dodge Challenger and the McLaren 720S. None of them had any chance against this beast.

In the first race, the Dodge Challenger had no chance against the Opel Kadett. Challenger achieved a time of 20.524 seconds, which is more than 3 seconds slower than Kadett (17.371 seconds). In the second race, the McLaren 720 S had a bad start and lost with a time of 17.777 seconds, which is 0.6 seconds slower than the Opel (17.110 seconds).
