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

The stately grand tourer is not shy to drop its top. Very few days have passed since the debut of Bentley’s third-generation Continental GT and already someone with enough free time on his hands has decided to chop off its roof to give as an unofficial preview of the GTC . Since the droptop model has been spied for quite some time, it could mean the posh cabriolet will arrive early in the life cycle of the new Conti. The looks may seem overly familiar, but the secrets are hiding beneath that evolutionary design as the new MSB underpinnings shared with the Porsche Panamera have brought improvements on all fronts. For example, Bentley has managed to shave off 80 kilograms (176 pounds), which is exactly what the doctor ordered considering the old version wasn't exactly a light car. The new one isn't either, but at least some of the fat has come off and that should pay dividends in terms of the driving experience.

The Bahrain International Circuit announced on Thursday that it would be selling tickets for the race, but only to fans who had either been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or could prove they have recovered from the virus. Eligibility to attend will be tracked through the nation’s BeAware app. Fully-vaccinated individuals must have allowed at least two weeks to pass since receiving their second dose, while recovered COVID-19 cases must have allowed two weeks to pass since the date of infection. Fans will be required to wear masks at all times and will be subject to a health screening on entry, while all entertainment and fan experiences will be held outdoors.

It will be 201 inches (5.1 meters) long. Rumors of a larger Defender emerged even before Land Rover revived the legendary off-roader in September 2019. Company executives have now officially confirmed a three-row derivative is in the pipeline and will be on sale within the next 18 months. Known as the Defender 130 , the more spacious SUV "will hit a sweet spot in North America, China and also the Middle East, which we're not yet touching," according to Chief Financial Officer Adrian Mardell. According to an internal document from a couple of years ago, the more family-friendly derivative will retain the 119-in (3,022-mm) wheelbase of the Defender 110 while stretching the overall length by about 13 inches (342 millimeters) to 201 inches (5,100 millimeters). The same document referred to the Defender 130 as being a "premium explorer" with eight seats.
