Porsche three new limited edition models

According to some American media reports, Porsche has decided to expand its 992 generation with a limited edition of three new models.

The first of these should be called the Sport Classic. It will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six engine from the 911 Turbo S version. It will have 640 hp (471 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. That’s enough to push the car up to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed PDK transmission. Unofficially, the Porsche 911 Sport Classic will be produced in 250 units.

The second version will be called the 911 ST and will be reminiscent of the Porsche model from the early 1970s. Like the original, the 992 ST will also have significantly expanded fenders. It will be powered by an additionally boosted 4-liter boxer engine from the current GT3.

The third model is the 911 RS with which Porsche will mark half a century since the introduction of the first RS. The reminder of the famous ancestor will be based on the 911 GTS model, which will make it much lighter and a bit more powerful.

The latest example of Porsche’s look back is the remarkably thoughtful 911R model created on the previous generation (991) with an atmospheric boxer engine from the 911 GT3 RS model and a manual transmission. The limited edition “R” quickly became the object of desire for which customers, who did not manage to secure their copy, paid much more than its official price.

There is no doubt that all limited edition models will be sold in record time.

BMW ICE engines

The EU recently decided on EURO 7 as part of the European Green Deal, but German BMW has found a solution for its ICE engines considering it too early to fully electrify the car.

Former BMW M department head Markus Flasch said in a statement to German media that the company has a technical solution for its turbocharged petrol engines. These engines are already installed in BMW M models, so by fitting into the announced Euro 7 standard, the engines will still be on offer.

The Bavarian car company has confirmed that it will have its in-line 6-cylinder turbo petrol engine, along with a larger and more powerful V8 option. Alignment with Euro 7 standards, which should take effect from 2025, will extend the life of ICE engines at least until 2030.

BMW has not yet revealed whether and when they will follow in the footsteps of Mercedes, in whose AMG department they have already decided to follow the path of partial electrification. This will compensate for the reduction in displacement and number of cylinders in its turbo petrol engines.

Chinese company SPI Energy, which announced earlier this year that it intends to produce the EdisonFuture electric vehicle, has now unveiled what the vehicle will look like.

The company introduced two versions of the EdisonFuture vehicle, the EF1-T pickup truck and the delivery van EF1-V.

The EF1-T pickup is configured with a passenger cabin, four doors and an open cargo area and will be offered in three options: EF1-T Standard (single engine), EF1-TP Premium (dual engine) and EF1-TS Super (dual or three motor).

The EF1-T Standard is powered by a 470 hp (346 kW) electric motor that allows the vehicle to reach 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. The EF1-TP Premium is powered by two engines that push the vehicle to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. The most powerful EF1-TS Super is powered by three 816 hp (600 kW) electric motors that allow the vehicle to reach 60 mph in 3.9 seconds.

The EF1-V delivery van will be offered in two options, the EF1-V Standard and the EF1-V Long Range. Both models will have a solar charging system, and according to the company, it will be a uniquely designed solar mosaic technology that will offer a great visual signature and collect solar energy to charge the batteries. The vehicle will be able to be charged continuously while outdoors.

The EF1-V Standard is powered by a single 400 hp (294 kW) electric motor that allows the vehicle to reach 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. The EF1-V Long Range is powered by two electric motors with 690 hp (507 kW) which is enough to accelerate to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.

Other details such as range, battery power, etc., are currently unknown.
