Pininfarina Battista

We’re at the $2.5 million mark now with the Pininfarina Battista, which was first released back in 2019 at the Geneva Motor Show.

We said that the Rimac Nivera was one of the most expensive electric cars, but with an electric design, this one is slightly more expensive. The vehicle can reach 60 miles per hour in less than two seconds. Only 150 were made, and each one came with a $2.5 million price tag.

Ferrari LaFerrari 'Signal Green' (for six years it was owned by Jay Kay.  For sale in 2019). 

Unveiled at the 2013 Geneva International Motor Show as a replacement for the Enzo, the Ferrari LaFerrari was a technological tour de force that took the world by storm. Maranello's first production model to be equipped with a hybrid power unit, the sixth-generation hypercar was the fastest and most powerful road-going Ferrari ever. It was, and remains, one of the greatest achievements in the marque's 75-year history.

Compared to contemporaries such as the Porsche 959 and Bugatti EB110, the first Ferrari hypercars had been conservative designs. For all their astonishing pace, the 288 GTO and F40 had lacked headline innovation, focusing instead on a back-to-basics ethos of minimal weight and colossal power. With the subsequent F50, the Prancing Horse had abandoned the traditional spaceframe in favor of a more futuristic carbon fiber tub, but there was little else to whet the appetite of techno freaks. Its successor, the Enzo, upped the technological ante. The first Ferrari hypercar to feature an automated paddle-change transmission and active aerodynamics, it represented a radical leap compared to the outgoing F50. The Enzo was an up-to-the-minute interpretation of what a flagship sports car should be all about. And then along came the game changer.

Based around a carbon fiber monocoque designed by F1 technical director Rory Byrne, the Type F150 LaFerrari adopted an enhanced version of KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which had been used in Grands Prix since 2009. Like any other hybrid set-up, KERS employed electric motors in addition to a traditional petrol engine. With an electric motor delivering maximum torque from zero rpm, the benefits included noticeably stronger acceleration. Kimi Räikkönen had emphatically proven this in Formula 1 when his KERS-equipped Ferrari stormed past Giancarlo Fisichella to win the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix—Fisichella attributing Räikkönen's win to the hybrid system.

Dubbed HY-KERS, the production version in the LaFerrari mated a 120-kilowatt motor to a 6,262 cc 65-degree V-12 to deliver quite extraordinary results. Delivering a combined 950 horsepower and 715 lb ft of torque through a seven-speed dual-clutch Getrag transmission, the car could accelerate from 0-100 km/h in a mere 2.9 seconds. The manufacturer claimed that 0-300 km/h could be dispatched in 15 seconds, while top speed was an astonishing 350 km/h. Even more startling, however, was the car’s pace around the Fiorano test track, where it was said to lap more than five seconds quicker than the Enzo. Such pace was in no small part down to the brilliance of the hybrid set-up. With HY-KERS taking care of low-down torque, the engine could be tuned for maximum power at high revs without the car becoming a temperamental prima donna. As a result, Ferrari engineers were able to produce an engine that was more potent than the Scuderia’s last V-12 single-seater, in a car able to cope with city traffic.

To ensure the thundering performance was accessible, electronic traction control was integrated with the hybrid system, and there was a third-generation electronic differential. The double-wishbone front- and multilink rear suspension was equipped with active damping, while the Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes measured a huge 398 mm at the front and 380 mm at the rear. The Pirelli P-Zero front tyres were an equally vast 265/30 R19, but were nonetheless dwarfed by the 345/30 R20 rears.

Drawing from the Grand Prix team’s expertise in computational fluid dynamics, the composite body continued the high-tech theme. Produced in-house alongside the Scuderia’s F1 racers, it was as aerodynamically efficient as it was beautiful. The vast scallops on each flank served to extract air from around the front wheels, increasing the downforce created by the active front diffuser, as well as channelling air to the rear-mounted radiators. A guide vane in the underbody automatically reduced flow to the front radiator to reduce drag, while dynamic air intakes on the haunches boosted ram effect for an additional 5 horsepower at speed. At the rear, a computer-controlled spoiler optimised drag and downforce, while dynamic diffuser flaps helped “suck” the car onto the road. This electronic gadgetry added up to 360 kilograms of downforce when cornering at 200 km/h, reducing it to 90 kilograms in a straight line at the same speed.

Remarkably, the carbon fibre monocoque boasted a 27 per cent improvement in torsional stiffness compared to the Enzo, yet was some 20 per cent lighter. In spite of the HY-KERS with its eight 15-cell battery modules, the LaFerrari was no larger than its predecessor, while the centre of gravity was lowered by 35 mm—providing further improvements to balance and stability. Visually, the whole was tied together into a tautly styled berlinetta that combined hints of classic racing icons such as the 330 P4 and 312 P with exciting flourishes from the modern Formula 1 era. In creating the LaFerrari body, form very much followed function, yet never has the application of science looked quite so stunning.

(In order) 1997 Honda Allure Styling Prototype, 1994 Honda UniQ Concept,  1999 Honda Allure (1st Gen), 2002 Honda Allure (Concept), and 2019 Honda Allure (Concept)

Now for the lore:

Honda decided to make a microcar in 1993, produced for Europe and China, as a cheap car for inter-city travel, called the Honda Allure, revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in 1997, the car was prepared for mass production with an option of either a 0.5L gasoline engine, or an electric motor with a range of 80 miles.

The 1994 Honda UniQ was a concept that would eventually evolve into the Allure, though this would be after a decision to shrink the model, from a 1 liter engined, 2+2 seater, to a 2 seater with a 0.5 liter engine, for more likely sales.

In 2002, a preview for the Second Gen Honda Allure was showed off at Geneva again, potentially expanding to the North and South American markets as non-road-legal carts, offered with a 100 mile range electric battery, alternatively a 0.7 liter engine, a revised version of the 0.5 liter engine from the previous generation. It wound up selling ~500,000 units worldwide, from 2004-2009, selling 10% of all units in the United States alone.

In 2009, the Allure was discontinued due to changing safety regulations in Europe, and the North American market dropping off over the course of the 5 year second generation, but in 2019, a third generation was revealed at the New York International Auto Show, to a near-production standard, equipped with a Hydrogen system at the show, which was purely for demonstration, but was to be sold in mass markets as a new EV for Honda to test their mettle on. As of 2023, 500,000 units have been sold, despite the massive issues in production due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, proving even more popular than the originals in North America, and not likely to be replaced in the near future by a next generation.

How The Koenigsegg Jesko Is Designed To Break A World Report 300 Mph

The entrance splitter is the deepest ever designed for a Koenigsegg and options enlarged, lively under-body flaps to both maximise or launch downforce, as required. Jesko redefines 'precision' because of a further active Triplex damper added to the entrance suspension and a brand new rear-wheel steering system. Koenigsegg has unveiled an all-new megacar - the Koenigsegg Jesko - on the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show. Jesko inherits the mantle left by the Agera RS because the main track-focused, road-legal automobile for these in search of the last word in car efficiency. Jesko uses an all-new monocoque, designed with the expertise of autos past however with the requirements of our future prospects in thoughts. The new tub is 40mm longer and 22mm larger, which permits for extra legroom, headroom, a more spacious cabin feel and a clearer view via the wrap-around windscreen.

You do not must be a computational fluid dynamics mastermind to determine out this Swedish-designed and -engineered hypercar is a critically fast machine. Company founder Christian von Koenigsegg says his group hasn't accomplished bodily testing, but computer koenigsegg jesko price modeling suggests the Jesko Absolut will have a top velocity north of 310 mph. The spirit of Formula One runs through the veins of the NSX, and that’s as a result of late and great F1 legend Aryton Senna oversaw the development of it.

Importantly, it still retains every little bit of its structural rigidity, measured at 65,000 Nm per diploma. This supremely stiff and robust chassis permits Koenigsegg's engineers to focus on tuning the suspension for performance rather than compensating for suboptimal chassis dynamics. The engine has been re-designed to accommodate koenigsegg jesko a tumble valve on consumption and individual pressure sensors for every cylinder so as to obtain real-time, precision monitoring of every cylinder - an industry first.

The atmosphere of the Koenigsegg cabin is considered one of luxurious combined with technology. Rich materials (leather, alcantara, carbon fibre, aluminium, and glass) combine with traditional artisan craftsmanship and fashionable convenience to offer a really stunning place to drive with out compromise. The cabin is fashionable and elegant koenigsegg jesko absolut, yet easily switches between relaxed cruising and high-performance observe work. Koenigsegg has developed new driver controls using touchscreen expertise constructed into each the brand new SmartCenter and SmartWheel. SmartWheel’s screens feature haptic suggestions, permitting ease of use without the necessity for fixed visible connection.

LED headlights show the finest way ahead, and the ultra-rigid carbon fiber monocoque features front and rear crumple zones. The 2021 Koenigsegg Jesko is one other beautiful achievement by the Swedish automaker. The hypercar is powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 1,603 horsepower with the proper gasoline. Replacing the Agera RS, the Jesko might be limited to a hundred twenty five models, and all construct slots were accounted for shortly after the automobile's reveal. Despite debuting at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, manufacturing solely kicked off in mid-2021, with first deliveries to clients anticipated in 2022.

Driver and passenger can use SmartCenter to operate the automated local weather control system, audio, and navigation systems. Koenigsegg uses the industry’s longest front and rear wishbones, extra akin to Formula 1 racing than the standard street car. Enlarged wheel bearings in lightweight housing present an unmatched mix of responsiveness and stability.

International car show to return to Geneva

The Geneva International Motor Show is set to return to Geneva in 2024 after a four-year absence. “A contract has been signed with Palexpo,” said its director, Sandro Mesquita, in the Tribune de Genève newspaper. After three cancellations due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2023 event was also cancelled. Citing global geopolitical and economic uncertainties, which have prevented many brands from committing to Geneva, the organisers have scheduled a motor show in October in Doha, Qatar. Mesquita said there is no competition between the two venues. “They are complementary events whose success will benefit both. In any case, there was never any question of leaving Geneva.” In 2019 the Geneva International Motor Show brought together 150 brands and more than 600,000 visitors on 110,000 m2, while the event in Qatar intends to attract 70 brands and 200,000 visitors on 30,000 m2. However, Mesquita noted that “it is the car brands that will have the last word”. “Many brands are now... https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/international-car-show-to-return-to-geneva/48240524?utm_campaign=swi-rss&utm_source=multiple&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=o (Source of the original content)

Mahindra unveils world's 'fastest' e-car Battista at Geneva Motor Show

Luxury electric vehicles brand Automobili Pininfarina, a part of the Mahindra Group, Tuesday unveiled its luxury electric vehicle Battista here which is touted to be faster than a current Formula 1 race car in its 0-100 km/h sub-two second sprint.

When it arrives in 2020, the Battista will be the most powerful car ever designed and built in Italy. It has the potential to accelerate to 62 mph in less than two seconds, faster than a Formula 1 car, and break the 250 mph top speed barrier all with a potential zero emissions range of over 300 miles, the company said.

It will deliver a level of performance that is "unachievable today in any road-legal sports car featuring internal combustion engine technology", it claimed.

"This is the most authentic and exciting automotive story imaginable. The Battista is the hypercar of the future, inspired by a legendary past," Automobili Pininfarina CEO Michael Perschke told reporters here.

Electrification unlocks the door to a new level of performance and a zero-emissions future, whilst a passion and respect for automotive history will define how this landmark car looks and feels, he added.

"We aim for the Battista to be a future classic and automotive icon, writing its own page in automotive history books," Perschke said.

No more than 150 Battistas will be hand-crafted in Italy and allocated equally between the regions of North America, Europe and Middle East/Asia, Pininfarina said. Read More
