GELECEĞİN ELEKTRİKLİ BENTLEY'İ 0'DAN 100'E 1,5 SANİYEDE ÇIKACAK!

Bentley CEO Adrian Hallmark announced that the manufacturer’s future electric model will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 1.5 seconds.

Like all manufacturers, Bentley also turns to electric vehicle technology to make its product range “zero emissions”. This new engine allows energy to be transmitted instantly from the battery to the engine and therefore provides much smoother and more instantaneous acceleration.

Adrian Hallmark, CEO of the British luxury car brand, announced in an interview with Automotive News Europe that the next model of the manufacturer will be 100% electric and can reach 0 to 100 km/h in 1.5 seconds. This skill will give immense impetus to the Bentley of the future.

OTOYOLDA EN İYİ MENZİLE SAHİP ELEKTRİKLİ OTOMOBİL HANGİSİ?

Is it enough to have a big battery? The comparison of 28 models in the test conducted on the highway is in our article.

We see more electric cars on the roads, but users have questions. For daily use, provided that you can charge it at home or at work, real use of an electric car may be sufficient in most cases, but this is different for long journeys.

Actual consumption

The consumption of electric cars is increasing, especially on the highway. We often find ourselves distant from official consumption calculated in mixed use. Well, is there a difference between the range of an electric vehicle traveling at a speed of 130 km/h on the highway and the officially announced range? Here are the results from the test on the highway:

  • Mazda MX-30 : 140 km
  • Peugeot e-Rifter: 164 km
  • Opel Combo e-Yaşam : 171 km
  • Mercedes EQB 350 : 200 km
  • VW ID.3 Pro 150 kW: 216 km
  • Mercedes EQA 250: 222 km
  • Cupra 170 kW: 226 km
  • Volvo XC-40 Şarj : 227 km
  • Opel Zafira e-Life M : 250 km

STOREDOT, THE EXTREME FAST CHARGING BATTERY

StoreDot, an Israeli company specializing in electric vehicle technologies, has presented a new battery containing cells capable of repairing themselves.

The Israeli company StoreDot presented batteries that repair themselves, using self-healing cells. They should therefore last longer in vehicles.

StoreDot, an Israeli company specializing in electric vehicle technologies, has presented a new battery containing cells capable of repairing themselves, the 100in5. They will apparently be available from 2024.

SELF-REPAIRING BATTERIES MADE POSSIBLE THANKS TO AN ALGORITHM

Electric car batteries are made up of hundreds or even thousands of cells, which provide them with the combined power needed to run the vehicle.

Thanks to the StoreDot software, combined with an algorithm, in the event of overheating of one or more cells, the vehicle is able to simply disconnect the cell or cells concerned, even while driving.

The system then resolves the problem, by discharging it for example. Reconnection occurs when the problem is over.

This preserves the cell concerned on the one hand, but also isolates it from neighboring cells that it can damage when they have no problem. In extreme cases, preventive disconnection reduces the risk of battery fire, as well as faster degradation over time.

BATTERIES WITH A BETTER LIFETIME

The other advancement of these batteries is stable capacity and performance over the entire life of the vehicle. On a conventional battery, the capacity tends to decrease gradually, and therefore the autonomy it can offer you. The prowess is still mysterious.

The manufacturer explains “manage the charging current” in order to “stress the battery less at the start of its life”. The downside is slightly less battery life when purchased.

On the other hand, the capacity of the battery is theoretically identical on the day it leaves the factory or after several years of use, delaying the change of used batteries as much as possible and increasing the maximum possible mileage of the car. And that is a great point for the planet.

The company presented these cell packs in cylindrical 4680 format (like Tesla) or rectangular box. They should also benefit from a very fast loading time.

Indeed, the 100in5 is not called that by chance. According to StoreDot, its technology should charge 62 miles of range (about 100 km) in 5 minutes.

The next generation of “solid” batteries will arrive in 2028, the 100in3. In 2032, it will be the 100in2. And in 2036… We let you guess the name of the 2036 batteries. Anyway, StoreDot is already a partner of many car manufacturers such as Daimler, Volvo and Vinfast.

DS Automobiles’ new compact sedan has won the prestigious award given at the 2022 International Automobile Festival.

The new DS 4 won the Most Beautiful Car award on the occasion of the 37th Grands Prix du Festival Automobile International, which is chaired by a Jury consisting of motorsports, architecture, fashion, design, culture and media. This year, the DS 4 was honored against the other finalists, the BMW i4, Peugeot 308 and Citroën C5 X.

A PRESTIGIOUS AWARD FOR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR OF 2022

Usually, the Most Beautiful Car of the Year award is determined by popular vote. This year, the International Automobile Festival chose to call a Jury of experts, among whom we found drivers of Paul Belmondo and Ari Vatanen, journalists and executives of large companies.

The jury chose the new French premium compact model for its “muscular lines” and “sharp features”.

What’s Lamborghini’s Plan to Electrify its Models?

What Lamborghini Plan to Electrify-min

Lamborghini unveils its roadmap for the electrification of its models, and announces the arrival of a first 100% electric sports car from 2025.

Like all car manufacturers, Lamborghini will not escape the electrification of its models in the coming years.

The brand’s management has established a strategic plan to develop this electrification gradually, so as not to put off the brand’s usual clientele, but also to convince them that the electric has a particular interest when it comes to sports cars.

A program in three phases spread over the next four years, and which represents an investment of 1.5 billion euros.

LAMBORGHINI’S PREFERRED THERMAL AND HYBRID MODELS

The first stage of this plan is called “Celebrate the combustion engine”. It runs between 2021 and 2022. It will be marked by the continued development of heat engines. Lamborghini recently introduced its all-new Huracan Tecnica.

The second stage of Lamborghini’s roadmap is that of the hybrid transition. In 2023, Lamborghini will launch its first production hybrid model. The objective is to halve the CO2 emissions of the brand’s cars by the start of 2025.

To compensate for the excess weight due to electrification, Lamborghini will work even more intensively on lightweight composite materials such as carbon fiber.

LAMBORGHINI WILL MAKE ITS ELECTRIC REVOLUTION FROM 2025

The date of 2025 has therefore been chosen to unveil the brand’s future 100% electric model. If no information has yet leaked on the nature of this model, several options are open to the Italian manufacturer.

The first would be to electrify the Urus SUV in order to continue to attract wealthy customers who could thus drive in an emission-free Lamborghini, but also considerably reduce the brand’s total emissions knowing that the Urus is the current best-selling model. .

The other solution is to produce a brand new 100% electric sports car. The basis of the Huracan or the Aventador could therefore be taken over.

The Italian brand has also been spotted testing a Ferrari SF90 Stradale very recently. The sporty prancing horse has an electric motor giving it a range of 50km.

Ferrari will also launch a 100% electric sports car by 2025. A face-to-face which therefore promises to be very pleasing, like a reminiscence of the 80s and the match of the V12 supercars in the central rear position.

BMW soon to be involved in MotoGP to replace Suzuki?

Following the announcement of Suzuki’s unexpected withdrawal from the MotoGP class next season, championship promoter Dorna Sport was quick to open the door to the arrival of a new brand. And was it BMW?

On learning of Suzuki’s intention to leave the MotoGP championship next season, Carmelo Ezpeleta, boss of MotoGP championship promoter Dorna Sport, must have fumed.

Despite the will of the MotoGP boss not to give any gift to Suzuki, and his call to respect his commitments, the Japanese manufacturer will indeed leave the paddocks at the end of this season.

For the attractiveness of the MotoGP world championship, however, it is good to be able to count on the presence of as many manufacturers as possible. With Aprilia, Ducati and KTM on the European side, Yamaha and Honda on the Japanese side, the factories involved will be only five next year, with an omnipresence of Ducati.

Faced with Suzuki’s withdrawal, Carmelo Ezpeleta was quick to respond: “We have received requests from manufacturers. I can’t give names, but it’s possible that a big brand will enter the World Championship in the next few years. If a manufacturer is interested in the World Championship and decides to participate and invest in the long term, we are always open to discussion. »

If Ezpeleta did not reveal the name of the manufacturer in question, all eyes were on BMW. The German brand would thus flirt more with the MotoGP championship, as the P.-D.G. of BMW Motorrad, Markus Schramm: “At BMW, we always consider MotoGP. But it depends on who makes the final decision. Karlheinz Kalbfell and Herbert Diess wanted to join him, as did Hendrik von Kuenheim. But they were stopped by the board of directors of BMW, that is to say by the shareholders of the automobile branch. »

Perhaps burned by the failed experience in Formula 1 from 2006 to 2009, the leaders of BMW seem for the moment reluctant to engage the brand in MotoGP, with the research and development costs that this would include.

However, Ezpeleta, again, leaves the door wide open to the German manufacturer: “BMW has always impressed us with its strengths and its passion. »

A real call from the foot.

The decision is now more than ever in BMW’s camp.
