Pagani world premiere csr2

The 2021 season will be SRT’s third in the premier class, the Yamaha satellite team in its short tenure already a six-time race winner. Last year, Morbidelli won three times on his way to runner-up spot in the championship, and ended up just 13 points behind title winner Joan Mir. For 2021, SRT welcomes nine-time grand prix world champion Rossi to its ranks, after the Italian legend elected to extend his MotoGP career by another year at least. This is the first Rossi has been a Yamaha rider that he won’t race in its factory colours, but will remain a factory-contracted rider with full works support in 2021. The 2021 season will be Rossi’s 26th in grand prix racing and his 16th in MotoGP as a Yamaha rider. Despite his best efforts, Rossi hasn’t been able to bring his entire crew from the factory Yamaha team to SRT, with the Italian only able to keep crew chief David Munoz, data engineer Matteo Flamigni and rider coach Idalio Gavira. Rossi protégé Morbidelli … [Read more...] about Petronas SRT unveils 2021 MotoGP livery with Rossi and Morbidelli

The American-owned team has made an early call on how to use its restricted aero testing resources, switching its focus fully to its 2022 car at the first opportunity. The decision means that no development is planned on this year's VF21 after the first test in Bahrain. Team boss Gunther Steiner conceded that there was risk inherent in turning off the development tap and potentially finishing last in the 2021 world championship, but it's one it had to accept. "Yeah, there is that risk, but we need to live with that risk," Steiner told Motorsport.com. "We need to see the big picture is the mid- to long-term, it's not the short-term. "If we just see the short term, then in '22 it will be, 'Why didn't we do the '22 car? Because now we cannot catch up.' "It's very difficult to catch up with the aero restrictions and the budget cap. So you put as much in as you can on the front end." Steiner says that his team is prepared for a difficult year: "It will be quite a … [Read more...] about Haas accepts “risk” in abandoning development of 2021 F1 car

Already available to order in some European countries. Jeep is currently pretty busy, launching the refreshed Cherokee , preparing the Renegade for a facelift , and revealing the Grand Commander in China, but this hasn’t stopped the automaker from adding a new special edition to its European lineup. Meet the Grand Cherokee S, which is already available to order in several markets on the Old continent. Visually, the range-topping edition differs from the regular variants of the model with its 20-inch wheels, blackened lower and upper grilles in the front bumper, tinted windows with black chrome surround, and dual exhausts with black chrome finish. The same color theme continues inside the cabin, where we find black wood finishes and black instrument panel accent stitching.

The infotainment screen looks a little larger than on the current Renegade. The Jeep Renegade has a refresh on the way, and new spy shots let us see the little crossover on the road. These photos provide more views of the body than the recently leaked photos . Unfortunately, this one wears considerable camouflage that conceals the changes. The refreshed Renegade's front end features a new fascia, but the body cladding here hides the precise changes. This test mule doesn't have the new headlights from the one in the previous leak, which suggests this vehicle has placeholder units. The leaked images showed the Renegade with updates like new two-tone trim and sharper edges for the grille openings. Unfortunately, the camouflage at the back does an especially good job of concealing the updates. Taped panels on the rear suggest revise sculpting for the hatchback. The taillights are the same as the current model, though. Revealed: 2019 Jeep Renegade For Europe Revealed … [Read more...] about Jeep Renegade Spied With Refreshed Body, New Center Stack

Plus a 200-pound diet and a new 2.0-liter turbo engine. The unconventional look of the Jeep Cherokee caused quite a stir when it was revealed at the 2013 New York Auto Show. As in, a lot of critics hated the way it looked. “It was very progressive, modern,” admits Mike Manley, Head of the Jeep brand. “But we needed to do that to break through the segment.” With a tiered lighting arrangement and a pointy grille that were not at all like any contemporary Jeep, the Cherokee certainly stood out. But that was the intention: make an impact as Jeep returned with a vengeance to the segment dominated by names like CR-V and RAV4. The strategy worked, with the Cherokee selling well and nobody mentioning the “weird” styling ever again. “It did what it was supposed to do, it called attention to the vehicle,” says Mark Allen, Head of Jeep design. But when it was time to develop the refreshed 2019 Cherokee , he was asked to significantly tamp down on the crossover’s boldness – … [Read more...] about 2019 Jeep Cherokee Gets A More Traditional Face, Roomier Interior
