G3M Bi-Turbo is the BMW M3 Touring but with more power

In 2022, BMW presented the M3 Touring, which attracted a lot of attention from customers, so a year later the Bavarian company had to increase production. This model was the basis for a new project from Bavarian tuner G-Power called the G3M Bi-Turbo.

The G3M Bi-Turbo looks more aggressive than the M3 Touring thanks to a carbon package that includes a new hood with a large central air vent for cooling the engine compartment, a new splitter, side mirror housings, a rear diffuser, and new Hurricane RR wheels with an orange finish, which matches the orange exterior details.

The interior has also been refreshed with new M carbon bucket seats upholstered in bright orange leather that also covers the dashboard and door panels.

Under the bonnet is an upgraded 3.0-litre twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine with 800 hp and 900 Nm of torque, which is a significant increase in power compared to the Competition version with 510 hp and 660 Nm of torque. The increase in power is achieved by installing new turbochargers, an exhaust system with 200-cell high-flow catalytic converters, and remapping the ECU unit. Top speed has also been increased from 280 km/h to 300 km/h.

G-Power did not say how much the upgrade package costs.

Nissan revealed a few details about the Micra EV

Nissan has officially revealed the appearance of the new generation Micra, which will be offered as an EV for the first time. With this car, the Japanese brand is trying to capitalize on the current popularity of small city cars, and the new Micra EV is intended for European customers.

The Micra EV will be built on the same platform as the all-electric Renault 5 E-Tech. The design of the car was created in Nissan’s center in London, but the project was actually developed in cooperation with Renault. The company’s chief designer, Alfonso Albaisa, said that this was the closest collaboration with the French company in history. Design-wise, it will be similar to the 20-23 concept and the K12 model, with round front and rear lights.

It will be offered with 40 kWh and 52 kWh batteries that provide a range of up to 410 kilometers on a single charge. Nissan has not yet revealed the technical details, but we can expect a single electric motor with 120 and 150 hp.

Speaking of the price, Nissan said that the Micra EV will be the most affordable car of this brand, which would mean a price of around 32,000 euros.

Lancia Ypsilon celebrates its 40th birthday

In 1985, Lancia launched the small city car Ypsilon, which for years attracted a large number of customers. It was produced in five generations and over 3 million units left the production lines. He is celebrating his 40th birthday this year.

This model is currently the only one in the offer of the Italian manufacturer which, as part of one of the largest automotive conglomerates, Stellantis, intends to return some of the glory it had a few decades ago.

The first model was called the Y10 and it quickly became recognizable for its unusual shape for that time, but also for the fact that all cars had black tailgates. The second generation arrived on the market in 1995, and eight years later the third generation was launched, which also brought certain changes.

The fourth generation Ypsilon was launched in 2011, which was offered for the first time with five doors. In 2024, the fifth generation of Ypslilon arrived on the market, which brought many novelties and hope for a better future for the Italian brand.

The current Lancia Ypsilon is equipped with Level 2 autonomous driving technology, and buyers can also opt for a purely electric version with a 51 kWh battery that allows a range of up to 403 kilometers, and 156 horsepower.
