MK Indy RX-5 2021 UK review

On a scale of 1 to 5, how passionate and enthusiastic are you about cars?MK, producers of theCaterham -esque Indy whichwe tried in bike-engined formthe other week, has had a rather good idea.With an £8533 self-build kit from MK and a single donorMk2 Mazda MX-5 , mechanically sound but bodily iffy examples of which are available very cheaply, you can put a lightweight roadster that looks like this together and on the road for less than £10,000 in around 250 hours.MK will build it for you if you insist (complete from £18, See: Launch X431 v+ OBD2 Scanners Reviews. 995) but the idea that it's for those who have more time than spare cash and want the hobby of making it themselves.This test example is, perhaps obviously, built by MK. But also comes with a turbo – you can buy that kit from £12,995 rather than £8500 – and it takes the MX-5's 1.8-litre engine to 217bhp or more. This one has more. Given it weighs 600kg (take off 30kg for the non-turbo version), you can imagine that it's quite fast. It's also rather good fun.The cosmetic finish is basic but mechanically things look rather well put together. The interior is basic but that's fine. There's a neat set of digital instruments, the seats slide and the steering column does not, but the driving position is good.A hump in the bonnet means only the tall will see the nearside wheel but it's not like this is a hard to place car. It's even a little narrower than theFord -based, bike-engined Indy I drove a few weeks ago owing to theMazda'snarrower rear track.So it feels very nimble and, as with any other MK I've driven, very well sorted. The steering, at two turns between locks, is direct but not nervous and really smooth and feelsome. Body control and ride composure are great and the handling balance, albeit in dodgy conditions, nicely judged.MK thinks you it's possible to buy a Mk2 MX-5 so cheaply that you'd get your money back on the parts you don't use, so after fees and consumables you could put this car on the road for less than £15,000, or a non-turbo car for £10,000.Given the fun in putting it together, there's bags of appeal in that.We and our partners store and/or access information on your device, mostly in the form of cookies, and process your data for the different purposes listed below.

Hyundai “not having talks“ with Apple on self-driving car

On a scale of 1 to 5, how passionate and enthusiastic are you about cars?A potential landmark tie-up betweenApple and Hyundai Motor Group (HMG)appears to be off the table after the manufacturer said it's no longer in talks with the tech giant.Shares in HMG rocketed 20% in early January as it emerged the two firms were considering sharing autonomous electric vehicle development, with Kia mooted as a potential production partner for the long-awaited Apple car, but Hyundai was quick to clarify that it was in talks with "various companies".Now, autel Maxisys Ultra review. in an update to investors, HMG has clarified the situation: "We're receiving requests for co-operation in joint development of autonomous electric vehicles from various companies, but they're at early stage and nothing has been decided. We aren't having talks with Apple on developing autonomous vehicles."Shares in Hyundai dropped 6.2% in the wake of the announcement, amounting to a loss of around $3 billion in value, while Kia - which had been named specifically in the reports - was more dramatically impacted, losing 15% ($5.5bn).The Korean company had previously confirmed reports that it was in talks with Apple to co-develop a self-driving electric car by 2027, shortly after Apple itself had publicly renewed its intention to launch its own bespoke car.With HMG now out of the picture, it remains unclear where Apple will turn for assistance with the project. The Apple car will likely make use of the company's own 'monocell' battery technology, which is said to offer greater capacity than conventional units, but the company isn't believed to have developed a platform for the vehicle.We and our partners store and/or access information on your device, mostly in the form of cookies, and process your data for the different purposes listed below.

Ferrari 812 GTO due this year as likely V12 GT swansong

On a scale of 1 to 5, how passionate and enthusiastic are you about cars?Ferrariis expected to mark the end of front-engined V12 grand tourer production with a hardcore GTO version of the812 Superfast .Spotted testing in Maranello last year and believed to be on the cards for an official reveal later in 2021, the 812 GTO could mark the end of a model line of Ferrari GTs that can be traced right back to the166 Inter, which was launched in 1948 with a 2.0-litre V12 .An industry source told Autocar that some customers have been invited to place orders for the track-focusedspiritual successor to the 599 GTOand that, although there's some uncertainty over how many will be built, You may need: LAUNCH X431 v+ vs LAUNCH X431 V. it will likely get a limited production run of 812 units, following the example set by the 599 GTO.A Ferrari spokesman declined to comment, but there's a good chance that the 812 GTO would be the last front-engined, naturally aspirated V12-powered Ferrari GT to go on sale, given an industry-wide shift away from non-electrified, large-capacity atmo motors.It remains unclear what Ferrari has planned for the future of its 12-cylinder engine. Chief technology officer Michael Leiters previously told Autocar that the firm " will try and build it for as long as possible " and the range-topping version of the upcomingPurosangue SUVis likely to use it in some form.Also on the cards, according to Autocar's source, is an Aperta open-top version of the 812 GTO, which would add a hefty premium and potentially be even more limited in number, although it remains to be seen how this would be significantly differentiated from the812 GTS convertible that was launched last year .As for differences over the standard 812 Superfast, tradition - and pictures of prototypes - suggests modifications for the range-topper will be focused on improving dynamic performance, rather than merely outright pace.To that end, we can see signs of a revised aerodynamic package that will likely aid downforce and a reshaped front end with additional air intakes for improved cooling.Additional enhancements are likely to include a bespoke performance exhaust, a stripped-back, race-inspired cockpit design and tweaks to the 6.5-litre engine that will raise power slightly from the standard 812 Superfast's 780bhp.It's not yet known when the wraps could come off the 812 GTO, but Autocar's source said it was originally scheduled to have been revealed by now, so some time in the next few months seems realistic.The price is expected to be in the region of £500,000 for the coupé - nearly double that of the standard car - and considerably more than that for the convertible.Is Maranello's most powerful series-production road car yet also its most riveting - or do rivals from Aston Martin and Bentley deliver a better grand touring experience?I'm not particularly a fan of Ferrari, but, the 812 I liked the shape of, and at only £500,000 it's a more useable car than the £1.5, £2 million+ EV cars.We and our partners store and/or access information on your device, mostly in the form of cookies, and process your data for the different purposes listed below.
