F1 bosses want to trial a sprint qualifying format at three races this season to see what impact it has on the television spectacle and the experience for fans at the track. The idea is that at Silverstone, Monza and Interlagos, normal qualifying will be shifted to Friday afternoon, with a 100km sprint race on Saturday then deciding the final grid for the main race on Sunday. While a lot of the details have been agreed, one of the final factors that needs to be sorted is the finances of the plans. F1 chiefs are offering an extra payment to cover potential costs, including damage, but big spending teams want as much as $1 million extra and a lift in the cost cap. That idea has not got universal support from all teams, with some outfits fearing that lifting the cost cap will open the door to bigger outfits using the extra finances to fund performance gains. F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali is due to meet the teams on Saturday to discuss the proposals, but Horner is clear … [Read more...] about Red Bull needs cost cap “accommodation” for F1 sprint races

Your autonomous premium compact people mover has arrived. Officially Revealed: ⠀ Audi AI:ME Unveiled As Rear-Wheel-Drive EV For The City The last impressive concept Audi revealed was the Q4 E-Tron electric crossover which made its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show last month. While it looked almost production ready (and will actually reach the assembly lines in 2020 or 2021), the company’s new study is far from being destined for production. It’s called the AI:me and is scheduled to be revealed during the Shanghai Motor Show on April 15. That’s clearly not what you’d call a typical Audi. The concept , at least from what we are able to see so far from the first drawings, takes the shape of a compact people hauler with sloped roofline at the front and a more angular approach at the back. At this point, we can’t tell the exact seating configuration of the cabin, but the vehicle appears to be able to accommodate four passengers.

Every family vehicle should have 600-plus horsepower and drift mode. What a great time to be an auto enthusiast with a family. Once upon a time the two weren’t so mutually exclusive, but now we have crazy beasts like this AMG -tuned long-roof Merc that is as practical as it is insane. We got a preview of the bonkers Mercedes-AMG E63 S Wagon back in February, but seeing it dressed in white for its official debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show , this family hauler has all the makings of an epic sleeper-in-waiting. Revealed: Mercedes-AMG E63 S wagons its tail in Geneva For those who missed our E63 S Wagon preview , here’s the background on this car’s split personality. It packs the same 603-horsepower biturbo V8 and nine-speed dual-clutch automatic from the AMG E63 sedan . That engine also produces 627 pound-feet of torque, so it’s not like you’ll need to constantly shift to find the Merc’s ample power band. 4Matic all-wheel drive is standard and can shuffle … [Read more...] about Mercedes-AMG E63 S wagons its tail in Geneva

All the goodness of the new E-Class, with 603 screaming horses underhood. "The Mercedes-AMG E63 Sedan and E63 S Sedan are the most powerful E-Class variants of all time." That's how Mercedes-Benz starts its lengthy press blast about the new AMG E63 , which you can read below, but that's only half the story. What you're looking at here is one of the most luxurious, technologically advanced super sedans ever created, and it comes packed with some new cool bits that'll likely make it a total blast to drive. Under the hood is – you guessed it – Mercedes’ 4.0-liter V8 engine, with a pair of turbochargers that both use twin-scroll technology to improve performance and reduce turbo lag. In the standard E63, this engine is good for 563 horsepower (420 kilowatts) and 553 pound-feet of torque (750 Newton meters), and with 4Matic all-wheel drive, 0-60 happens in just 3.4 seconds. Even more outstanding is the E63 S, which ups the output to 603 hp (450 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm). That … [Read more...] about 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 revealed with 603 hp and Drift Mode

Don't expect to see it in the US. As the world of crossovers and SUVs expanded globally with all kinds of seven-passenger models in recent years, Jeep stayed firmly rooted in the five-passenger realm. That is changing in a big way for 2021, with the recent unveiling of both the new Wagoneer and Grand Cherokee L . Jeep is also working on a much smaller three-row crossover based on the Compass , but it won't be called Grand Compass. In fact, it might be a new Patriot. There is some evidence to support this. Among other things, Jeep still holds a trademark for the Patriot name around the world until 2025. It was filed way back in the early 2000s, ahead of the Patriot launch for the 2007 model year. It was sold globally, but perhaps of greater significance was its connection to the Compass which also launched in 2007. Both models shared a platform and drivetrain, with the Patriot adopting a bulkier, chunkier look.
