The OS is a result of Volvo's parent company Geely's partnership with Google announced in May 2017, which makes the Swedish carmaker the first company to team with the tech giant for a completely integrated infotainment system inclusive of Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play Store built-in.

Based on the range-topping 400R model (a 400-horsepower equivalent to the Q50 Red Sport here in the U.S.), the concept features dramatic visual cues. Matte black and lime green accents cover the body and the number “20” decorates the door panels. This Skyline also rides on 20-inch forged wheels, … [Read more...] about Nissan Skyline Gets Two New Looks For Tokyo: One Sporty, One Stylish

"The driver will wear out before the car does." The Taycan has the numbers – up to 280-mile (451-kilometers) on the WLTP scale, 0-60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in just 2.6 seconds, and a charging time of 22.5 minutes to fill from five to 80 percent. Even better, Porsche has touted its repeatable performance, allowing multiple fast runs without wearing out the car.
