Leave a comment

In March 2023, Lamborghini unveiled its first car with a true form of a hybrid drivetrain, the Lamborghini Revuelto. It is a sports car with an aggressive design on which German tuner Mansory has based its new project, the Mansory Initiate.

The Mansory Initiate is an equipment kit that includes a front apron with side flaps to increase downforce on the front axle, a front hood made of visible carbon, newly designed carbon sills with integrated air deflectors and side air inlets for engine cooling, a redesigned rear diffuser that, in combination with an extendable rear spoiler, increases downforce on the rear axle.

Mansory offers full interior customization according to customer wishes. The interior of the car in the photos is upholstered in leather and Alcantara with gold thread and an embroidered Mansory logo on the headrest.

The Mansory Initiate is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-L V12 engine combined with three electric motors for a total output of an impressive 1,070 hp (797 kW) and 783 lbft (1,062 Nm) of torque. The V12 engine delivers 880 hp (656 kW) and 560 lb-ft (760 Nm) of torque, which is slightly more than the factory 825 hp and 725 Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed Graziano dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.4 seconds with a top speed of 354 km/h.

The price of the upgrade is not known.

In March 2024, Hyundai launched the refreshed Ioniq 5, and a few days ago this car achieved a truly respectable result. According to Hyundai, the Ioniq 5 is the first EV to reach an altitude difference of 5,802 meters, which is a new Guinness World Record.

For this journey, long more than 4,900 km, the Ioniq 5 was equipped with a 72.6 kWh battery that was used in the previous Long Range version, while the refreshed Ioniq 5 has an 84 kWh battery.

This venture was organized by the Evo India team and Hyundai Motor India Limited and the start was at Umling La at an altitude of 5,799 meters while the finish was in Kuttanad in Kerala, which is three meters below sea level. During the journey, the car struggled with really difficult weather conditions, such as ice, steep roads to wet roads on the coast.

The refreshed Hyundai Ioniq is equipped with new front and rear bumpers, a wider front air intake, a 50 mm extended rear spoiler, and a special body kit decorated with several N Line badges, a new set of aerodynamic 20-inch wheels, a stiffer body, and better shock absorbers for greater comfort.

At the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Italian car-manufacturing company, De Tomaso, has revealed a retro-styled sports car, the P72. It is a limited edition car and only 72 units will be produced with a starting price of around 1.6 million euros.

This P72 is not intended for customers but will be used for the final stages of dynamic validation to ensure that the driving experience lives up to the standards and the De Tomaso name. It is equipped with a carbon-fibre chassis (number 001), body components made of bare carbon, large openings in the rear wheel arches, round taillights, a rear grille with the name “De Tomaso” in the middle and the P72 badge on the right side.

“With its design and engineering I think the De Tomaso P72 will set a new standard. The exterior form is so well done it invites you to keep walking around, admiring every subtle detail,” said Peter Brock, original De Tomaso P70 designer.

The expensive cockpit, which creates an immersive driving environment, allowing occupants to fully experience their surroundings and feel at one with the road, is equipped with seats upholstered in beige leather, a copper-colored gearshift knob with exposed mechanism, and copper counters on the dashboard.

When it comes to the powertrain, the P72 is powered by a 5.0-L supercharged V8 engine, which develops 750 hp (559 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.
