2023 Skoda Superb

The fourth-generation Skoda Superb was spotted during testing and will bring a new approach to exterior design. It will also have a completely new interior when it hits the market in 2024.

The new Superb is based on the modular MQB platform of the Volkswagen Group, and the test model revealed a slight increase in length and wheelbase. That will be a significant difference compared to the Octavia, a model that has also undergone some changes in its fourth generation.

As previously predicted, the car will have a lower roofline and wide and thin taillights, including a slightly longer rear suspension. It will have a new radiator grille and the side profile will be improved with strong shoulder lines.

The Superb will be powered by the latest generation of internal combustion engines from the Volkswagen Group. This includes 2.0-liter petrol and diesel engines that will meet Euro 7 emission standards, which are likely to be available by 2025. The new Superb will also be available with a new plug-in hybrid version.

2022 Mercedes-AMG One

After several delays due to technical problems, production of the 2022 Mercedes-AMG One, a hybrid road version of Formula 1, will begin next year.

It seems that AMG has finally managed to solve all the technical problems, as the arrival of the limited edition One has been announced for the middle of next year. Great news for all 275 owners who paid $ 3 million (€ 2.34 million) for their model a long time ago.

Mercedes-AMG premiered its powerful concept in 2017 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. But no one even thought that the development, testing and problem solving, on the hybrid “beast” that comes with the Formula 1 engine, would take five years.

The Mercedes-AMG One is powered by a centrally located 1.6-liter V6 turbo engine, combined with four electric motors, delivering more than 1,000 hp (746 kW) at 11,000 rpm. That’s enough for this supercar to reach 124 mph (200 km / h) in less than six seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km / h).

The engine is adapted to Mercedes’ hybrid racer W1 W06. Certainly, it was not easy for Mercedes to meet WLTP emission standards, but even with an engine like this, the Mercedes-AMG One will be among the fastest cars on the road.
