Led by the squad's Technical Director Tom Fowler, Toyota is developing the all-new specification car around the road-going GR Yaris. M-Sport Ford already has high hopes for its latest project, while Hyundai Motorsport has started work on its challenger despite the company’s board having not yet reached a firm decision about its plans beyond the 2021 season. “The 2022 Rally1 car is mostly in the design phase at the moment and some manufacturing work has started,” said Fowler, who would not be drawn on whether a delay in taking delivery of the hybrid hardware from Compact Dynamics had disrupted plans. “We’ll run some mule test cars at first which means they will have some parts for 2022 on them, but not altogether and not entirely on the correct chassis. “After the mule tests, we expect to have a complete car – a complete package together – to run during the summer,” he added. Team Principal Jari-Matti Latvala confirmed that Toyota Gazoo Racing’s long-term … [Read more...] about Toyota aiming to test new hybrid WRC car in the summer

New Bentley Continental GTC Goes Topless In A Winter Wonderland
Freezing outside? Then it's the perfect time to lower the roof. Having introduced the new Continental GT and its race car GT3 counterpart , the next logical step Bentley has to take is to unveil the GTC droptop version. Winter testing has already commenced in some parts of the world, but that doesn’t necessarily mean convertibles are being put through their paces with the roof up, even if there's a lot of snow and temperatures around -10° Celsius (-10° Fahrenheit).

WADA looking into Haas F1 livery after Russian flag ban
Haas revealed a striking new design for its VF-21 car on Friday that featured the red, white and blue colours of the Russian flag to reflect new title sponsor Uralkali, which is the backer of driver Nikita Mazepin. But it raised concerns about its compliance with a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which announced in December that Russian athletes were banned from competing at world championship events for the next two years. The ban related to state-sponsored doping and cover-ups at the 2014 Winter Olympics following investigations by WADA, which had recommended a four-year ban. The Russian Automobile Federation confirmed in February that this would extend to the FIA's world championships, meaning Mazepin cannot race under the Russian flag this year.

Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Executive LWB wants to do it all
Be efficient, luxurious, fast, comfortable, and look good while doing all of the above. There’s no denying the second-generation Panamera is considerably more attractive than its predecessor, and in this new long-wheelbase Executive version it looks more imposing while retaining the sleekness of the regular model. Comparing the two, the distance between the two axles has increased by 5.9 inches (150 mm) to 122 inches (3100 mm) for the sake of boosting rear legroom and making the Panamera an even more capable grand tourer. In total, there are now no less than 10 members in the Panamera family, including this 4 E-Hybrid Executive version depicted here. Just like the standard-wheelbase model , the stretched version couples a biturbo 2.9-liter V6 engine with an electric motor to generate a combined output of 462 horsepower (340 kilowatts) and 517 pound-feet (700 Newton-meters) of torque. It’s enough hybrid punch to grant the car with a sprint from a standstill to 62 mph (100 … [Read more...] about Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Executive LWB wants to do it all
