Lucid Air Sapphire Dethrones Tesla Model S Plaid To Become World’s Quickest Car : Automotive Addicts

Automotive


The metrics of 0 to 60 mph or a quarter mile time is just one page taken out of the thick book of automotive performance and there’s a much bigger picture to being the champion of this one measurement. However, when it comes to bragging rights, Tesla made headlines and justifiable bragging rights for owners of the new Tesla Model S Plaid (1,020 horsepower) as it demolished everything with a 0-60 mph time of about 2 seconds and shattering the quarter mile in 9.4 seconds (give or take).

In the horsepower and “quickness” wars of electric vehicles (EVs), there’s a new battle upon us that we’ve never seen before. One that takes advantage of that instant torque from electric motors and sending a family sedan down a drag strip (or your local street) that almost defies the laws of physics, at least for a “car.”

Experienced by Kimatni D. Rawlins, www.AutomotiveRhythms.com

It was an insightful media trip to Franklin, TN to visit with product planners, communications professionals, and Mitsubishi Motors engineers for a deeper understanding of the newly released 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The sporty and family SUV PHEV, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, has a combined driving range of 420 miles. If you decide to cruise around town in EV mode only, the battery affords the Outlander 38 all-electric miles. The Japanese seven-seat, three-row SUV is a winner for consumers looking for a crossover utility blessed with talent, sporty styling, rugged capabilities, and extended range.

From the time the reimagined gasoline model hit the scene last year, the company’s 330 dealer partners across the United States have been engaged and selling Outlanders like holiday cupcakes. We are not sure why Mitsubishi took so long to reinvigorate the product, but they are no longer a

2022 Hyundai Tucson XRT AWD Review & Test Drive : Automotive Addicts

Automotive


2022 hyundai tucson xrt awd

The Hyundai Tucson has proven to be a worthy contender within the mainstream compact crossover segment as its respectable sales figures will reiterate. Having experienced many of the trim levels of the new Tucson from its recent full redesign for the 2022 model year, I fully understand why you see so many on the road.

The new 2022 Hyundai Tucson is a decent vehicle out on the road with a comfy ride that’s easy to navigate. The one downfall remains to be its powertrain’s power output being a little sluggish from the onset. However, once things get moving and you become adapted to how the Tucson performs without having high expectations, things are rather agreeable for most and the purpose such a vehicle serves.

2023 mercedes-amg s63 e performance

The Mercedes-Benz S Class has been a benchmark for a full-size luxury sedan for nearly as long as it has been in existence. Embarking deep into all that the latest iteration of the S Class has to offer Mercedes realizes that many still want a V8-powered S Class despite the valid efforts of bringing us some enthusiastic electric vehicles like the new EQS and its AMG versions. Still, there’s time to deliver on the promises of the last hurrahs of gas-burning thrill machines even when they are pitted in the luxury realm of the S class – in comes the new Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance.

Set as the most powerful S Class ever, the S63 E Performance touts a total of up to 791 horsepower and an astonishing 1,055 lb-ft of torque by putting the best efforts of its 4.0-liter Biturbo V8 and a 140-kilowatt e-motor forward for up

At the BMW Welt in Munich, Germany, Automotive Rhythms had a chance to witness the much-anticipated BMW 3.0 CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight) which honors the 50th Anniversary of BMW M and its storied racing passion. Fifty of these prestigious and mostly hand-built machines will be produced by a special team of 30 associates at BMW M GmbH in Munich.

The original 3.0 CSL (E9) aka “The Batmobile” was engineered in 1972 and competed in 1973 where it won the Nürburgring 6 Hours driven by Amon and Stuck. A 2015 3.0 CSL concept, on display at the BMW Museum, also served as an inspiration for the newly introduced 50th Anniversary 3.0 CSL by BMW M.

The current RWD BMW 3.0 CSL features unique carbon fiber bodywork, a 560-horsepower 3.0-liter straight 6-cylinder M TwinPower Turbo gas engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, 20” and 21” lightweight

2023 infiniti qx60 sensory awd

Infiniti has undoubtedly had its challenges in the past, but things are looking up thanks to vehicles like the redesigned QX60. After a second brush with the newly redesigned Infiniti QX60, I find that I better understand where the brand is heading, which is a good thing. Looking at the collective of the QX60 and its purpose while overlooking the few shortcomings I can see a bright horizon for Infiniti and the sales figures of the 2022 and 2023 QX60 will prove such, just sit back and wait.

Performance and Driving Character

For the 2023 model year, the Infiniti QX60 remains unchanged from its complete redesign from the 2022 model year. Having a second go at the new QX60 I’m quickly reminded of the definitive flaws it has but its luxury appeal and value overshadow those nitpicking issues, which remain to be the slow-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission, the finicky
