Like it or not, advanced driving assist and fully autonomous technologies are slowly but steadily becoming the new norm in the automotive industry. And while we believe it would make sense for some of the most boring and stressful drives to be controlled by some sort of software, we are not so sure about drives that are meant to give you fun and excitement behind the steering wheel. Yes, we are talking mostly about track fun. Apparently, however, Hyundai wants to use advanced systems in order to assist you during those weekends of closed-course driving. At a glance, it may sound like something you’d never want to use but the truth is the automaker doesn’t want the system to make steering inputs or accelerate and brake autonomously, for example. Instead, the basic idea is data gathering and managing for precise driving instructions.

See Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio Reach 170 MPH On The Autobahn
Alfa Romeo is one of the brands in the automotive industry that isn’t rushing with the adoption of electric vehicles. The Italians will actually skip the PHEV phase for its two core models – the Giulia and Stelvio – because their platforms weren’t designed to support plug-in technologies. As such, their range-topping variants are still powered by combustion engines with no electric support. For some, the 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbo engine under the hood of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio might be a little too old-school considering the current trends in the performance segment. However, we will surely miss the good old six-cylinder mill when it gets discontinued and replaced by a powertrain consisting of an electric motor, possibly with the next-generation Stelvio.

Audi RSQ8 Gets Power Boost And Brutal Aero Pack From Mansory
Mansory isn’t exactly famous for its work on Audi products as the tuning company has a way more significant heritage of modifying vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ferrari, Bentley, and others. However, the company’s first attempt at upgrading an Audi – the RS6 Avant from 2020 – was mighty impressive and now it’s finally time to see Mansory’s second Audi-based project. And it’s equally amazing. Mansory has taken it to social media to promote the RSQ8 with performance and visual upgrades from the Brand-based tuning company. This isn’t the vehicle’s first online appearance, though Mansory now showcases it with a new finish and reveals more details about the improvements over the stock model. Gallery: Audi RSQ8 by Mansory 2 Photos Starting with the exterior, you can’t miss the heavily revised front fascia that’s anything but subtle. The more aggressive bumper has larger air intakes at the corners and a lower diffuser in a naked … [Read more...] about Audi RSQ8 Gets Power Boost And Brutal Aero Pack From Mansory

“Really fast” new Detroit track “more like Long Beach than Belle Isle” – Ferrucci
Ferrucci, who finished third in last weekend’s Indianapolis 500, took some laps around the street course layout – which will be used for the first time this weekend – in his Chevrolet Tahoe SUV in the off-season. The 1.7-mile, nine-turn circuit features a huge straight on one of Detroit’s most famous streets and, unique in IndyCar, a split pitlane. “That place looks phenomenal,” said Ferrucci. “We went in the wintertime to go check it out. I just got a picture of pit lane. Super excited for everything. “Very happy to be going 200 miles an hour down Jefferson [Avenue, one of the five major roads in the city]. It was still bumpy in the Tahoe that we took a hot lap in, so I can't imagine what it's going to be like in the IndyCar. “The straight is longer than the one at the [Indy] GP. In the GP, you do have a lot of passing at the end of that straight going into the first turn. I think it will provide for some great racing. “I hope we have a great strategy race like we … [Read more...] about “Really fast” new Detroit track “more like Long Beach than Belle Isle” – Ferrucci
Jaguar Land Rover Rebrand To JLR Is Official, New Logo Revealed
The days of Jaguar Land Rover are officially over, at least in name. As of June 1, the UK-based luxury automaker is officially known as JLR. You can probably guess where the three letters come from, but this is more than just an abbreviation of a slightly awkward title. It's a new corporate identity that sees iconic Land Rover models transition to brands under a new JLR umbrella, on the same footing as Jaguar. We first heard about this change in mid-April , presented as part of JLR's $18.6 billion Reimagine strategy. At that price, JLR is obviously doing more than just creating a new logo. Manufacturing facilities are being upgraded and overhauled for the electric future, and the automaker has plans to move swiftly in that direction. We already know about JLR's next-gen ELR platform for electric SUVs, slated to underpin the Range Rover EV in 2025 . On Jaguar's side of the fence, a new JEA platform will also arrive that year for three new EVs, including a four-door GT that's … [Read more...] about Jaguar Land Rover Rebrand To JLR Is Official, New Logo Revealed
