_a-custom-built-vehicle-that-will-never-be-repeated-new-pininfarina-battista-reversario-2024.jpg "Rich Man Has Pininfarina Crafts Bespoke Reversario Opposite Anniversary.<br/>The owner of the fifth Battista Anniversario has put the twin of his electric hypercar into service.<br/><br/>Automobili Pininfarina has created a one-off order of the Battista electric hypercar for a private customer who already owns the Anniversario.<br/>Nicknamed Reversario, this vehicle has the exact opposite features compared to its Anniversarios.<br/>The lucky owner of the Anniversario and Reversario duo claims that the twin models “can never be separated because they are truly integral in design.”<br/>If you are entering the market for dedicated hypercars such as the Pininfarina Battista, you may have the privilege of being deeply involved in the development process; this can spark interesting ideas. That's what happened when the owner of the fifth of five Anniversario special editions ordered another example of the electric hypercar and asked Automobili Pininfarina designers to create the exact opposite: the Reversario.<br/><br/>The Pininfarina Battista Anniversario was released in 2020, celebrating the company's 90th anniversary, with a special livery and limited production of five units. As the name suggests, Battista Reversario creates the perfect twin by reversing the colors of the original.<br/><br/>The main bodywork and five-spoke wheels are painted in Bianco Sestiere gloss, while the upper part is painted in Grigio Antonelliano gloss. Like the original, the Iconica Blu stripe highlights the dual-tone finish with matching accents around the body. Additionally, a unique badge has been added to the lower part of the active rear spoiler, as well as the Reversario lettering on the carbon side wings.<br/><br/>The Reversario's interior is also the exact opposite of the black-themed Anniversario; It has white Alcantara and leather upholstery. Iconica Blu was used for the perforations, seat belts and various inserts, and the Reversario badge made another appearance between the seats.<br/><br/>Pininfarina has also created a three-piece luggage set (briefcase, weekender bag and tool bag) finished in Black leather with Iconica Blu edging and white Alcantara quilting.<br/><br/>There are no changes in the equipment of the electric hypercar from the Rimac Nevera. The quad electric motors produce a total of 1,877 hp (1,400 kW / 1,903 PS) and 2,340 Nm (1,726 lb-ft) of torque and are powered by a 120 kWh battery pack.<br/><br/>As with the regular Battista, acceleration from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) is completed in 1.86 seconds, acceleration from 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) takes 4.75 seconds and top speed The speed is electronically limited. Up to 350 km/h (217 mph).<br/><br/>The lucky owner of the Anniversario / Reversario duo said: “The twins are a complete and utter perfection that the automotive world has never achieved. <br/><br/>Source: https://www.carscoops.com/2024/04/pininfarina-battista-reversario-is-the-alter-ego-of-the-anniversario/")

_3-0l-inline-6-cyl-engine-starting-at-3686-900-new-ineos-grenadier-quartermaster-2024.jpg "The capable off-roader comes standard in the US with a BMW-sourced 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine and 8-speed automatic transmission<br/><br/>While the US starting price starts below $87,000, options can increase the price significantly.<br/>Ineos sells the Grenadier Quartermaster in three different trim levels.<br/>Orders opened this week and deliveries will begin at the end of the year.<br/>Americans in the market for rugged, off-road pickup trucks now have a compelling new option to choose from with the local launch of the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster. Priced from $86,900, the new model is based on the regular Grenadier SUV, which the company calls the Station Wagon and has been on sale in America for several years starting at $71,500.<br/><br/>While much of the Quartermaster's design is the same as the standard model, it's now a pickup instead of an SUV. Interestingly, it has a wheelbase that is 305 mm (12 inches) longer than the Station Wagon. Three variants were announced; regular Quartermaster at $86,900, Trailmaster Edition at $94,900, and Fieldmaster Edition at $94,900; All prices exclude destination charges.<br/><br/>Several new components distinguish the Trailmaster Edition and Fieldmaster Edition from the base model. These include the front and rear differential locks on the Trailmaster, as well as the Smooth Pack with rear-view camera, front parking assist, heated side mirrors, heated windshield washer jets and auxiliary charging points.<br/><br/>Additionally, the Fieldmaster features smart speed assist, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and driver drowsiness detection, mirroring the features of the Trailmaster. Perhaps the Fieldmaster's most interesting feature is the two safari windows in the roof. It also has leather trim, a premium audio system, and heated front seats.<br/><br/>One of the reasons for the Grenadier Quartermaster's high cost is that it is produced alongside the Grenadier SUV at Ineos' factory in Hambach, France; this typically subjects it to a 25 percent U.S. tariff.<br/><br/>While the Grenadier Quartermaster is also available with a BMW-sourced 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder diesel engine in other markets, the only option in the United States is BMW's 3.0-liter inline-six gasoline engine producing 282 hp and 332 lb-ft (450 lb-ft) . Nm) torque. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual overdrive function.<br/><br/>The Grenadier Quartermaster has no direct rivals in the U.S. The most off-road-focused pickups in the U.S. include models like the Ford F-150 Raptor and Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, but the Ineos is more expensive than both. It is very similar to the Jeep Gladiator, but it is still positioned as a more premium option. In markets such as Australia, its closest rival will be the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series.<br/><br/>Source: https://www.carscoops.com/2024/04/ineos-grenadier-quartermaster-is-a-pricey-pickup-that-starts-from-87000/")

_328-hp-2-0l-gasoline-engine-new-audi-s3-audi-s3-sportback-2025.jpg "It always felt strange that the Volkswagen Golf R had more power than the fancier (and slightly pricier) Audi S3. But that's no longer the case. Ingolstadt's sports sedan gets a mid-cycle facelift for the 2025 model year that brings more horsepower and some extra torque to boot.<br/><br/>At the heart of the 2025 Audi S3 is an uprated turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine making 328 horsepower and an estimated 310 pound-feet of torque. That's an increase of 22 hp and 15 lb-ft, enough to make the S3 stronger than a Golf R (315 hp and 295 lb-ft)—for now. VW's hot hatch is due for a facelift later this year, so there might be some extra power planned there too. In Europe, there are already special editions with 328 hp, matching the new S3.<br/><br/>The RS3's rear torque splitter trickles down to the lesser performance derivative. The technology enables fully variable torque distribution between the rear wheels. In conjunction with the newly added Dynamic Plus mode, the car sends as much torque as possible to the rear axle for a tail-happy experience. Audi doesn't call it a dedicated drift mode but does mention the S3 now has the tendency to oversteer when the sportiest settings are active.<br/><br/>Elsewhere, the 2.0 TFSI engine idles at 1,300 rpm (up by 200 rpm) for better off-the-line performance and the engineers have made the throttle response even more direct. In addition, the gear ratios are slightly shorter than before and the new S3 upshifts later and downshifts earlier to maintain a higher rpm for greater power availability.<br/><br/>It takes 4.4 seconds to hit 60 mph from a standstill, making it a tenth of a second quicker than the 2024 S3. The top speed remains unchanged, at 155 mph. There are now 235/35 Falken performance tires for the 19-inch wheels, along with bigger front brakes with perforated discs and new two-piston calipers. Audi is also fitting an evolution of the S3's electronic stability control system and stiffer bearings for the wishbone suspension to improve handling.<br/><br/>As before, we only get the four-door flavor in the United States, but the five-door Sportback also gets an update in Europe. There are some subtle styling changes to bring the S3 in line with the recently launched 2025 A3. It gets customizable LED daytime running lights by choosing from four designs via the infotainment system. The taillights show a different animation when you lock/unlock the car, and there are four fresh colors: Ascari Blue, District Green, Arkona White, and Progressive Red.<br/><br/>An ambient lighting package will be standard in the United States but that flat-bottomed steering wheel is going to cost you extra. Unlike the Golf R, there are still plenty of physical buttons below the 10.1-inch touchscreen. With the 2025MY, LED contour lighting has been added to the center console and cup holders. In addition, the new fabric panel for the front doors was laser-cut 300 times and is backlit.<br/><br/>Source: https://www.motor1.com/news/715275/2025-audi-s3-debut-specs/")

The large shield-shaped grille is quite eye-catching. There are flat double horizontal bar headlights on both sides of the grille. The front bumper is an exaggerated three-section hollow decoration that combines aesthetics and functionality to cool the power system.<br/><br/>Looking from the side of the body, we can feel that the new car adopts a rather standard, large fastback coupe-style line. The line sinks significantly after the B-pillar, and the side windows are very narrow; Paired with large size glasses. In addition to the rims and multi-piece waistline, chrome decorative strips are used in every detail of the vehicle, giving the vehicle a feeling of complete luxury.<br/><br/>The viewing angle changes towards the rear of the car. The ducktail design at the rear of the GV80 Coupe is lively and active, forming a very stylish roof spoiler and a double tail spoiler system. Dual-section taillights are paired with the hatchback tailgate, which is also a similar design to the current GV80. The rear bumper features a very sporty, flat, two-sided rectangular exhaust that showcases a more extreme competitive style.<br/><br/>In the interior of the new car, the integrated bucket-shaped sports seats shown in the previous concept cars are not used, but the 27-inch Dalian screen design, crystal buttons, air conditioning touch panel, etc. are used. It can showcase a luxurious and trendy style.<br/><br/>In terms of power, the GV80 Coupe is a new model of the GV80 model, and the new car is expected to not change much in terms of power compared to the regular version.

_volume-931-cc-weight-224kg-power-124-hpnew-mv-agusta-enduro-veloce-2024.jpg "Price of MV Agusta Enduro Veloce not yet available<br/><br/>The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce is a first foray into the off-road motorcycle market, in addition to the limited-edition luxury MV Agusta LXP Orioli, so there is always a more affordable option that takes into account the elitist profile of the Varese brand. As with the firm's other models, it is a 100% Italian-made product, artisanal and oriented towards maximum perfection and performance, but now applied to an adventure motorcycle of high flight and ambitions.<br/><br/>There are no surprises and it features the same three-cylinder engine as the LXP; A block mounting the counter-rotating crankshaft, one of the most special technological solutions on the market, is a system that allows the reduction of inertia and vibrations. It provides the highest competition and greater agility and stability.<br/><br/>It has a capacity of 931 cc, weighs only 57 kg and has extremely compact dimensions. It develops 124 hp at 10,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 102 Nm at 7000 rpm, but it is surprising that 85% of the torque is already delivered at only 3000 rpm. Its behavior is configured with both off-road and asphalt in mind.<br/><br/>The 6-speed transmission comes with Electronically Assisted Shifting (EAS) quick-shift system in version 4.0; This system allows you to shift up and down without using the clutch, but also with the accelerator pedal open in any situation.<br/><br/>As expected from any motorcycle from the Italian brand, the chassis is first class. MV Agusta Enduro Veloce aims for the highest level, starting with a perimeter chassis with a closed double-cradle design, with materials and design designed to strike a balance between stability at high speeds and absorption capacity in off-road use. The subframe is removable for easy maintenance, while the swingarm is made of aluminum.<br/><br/>As for suspensions, rely on Sachs with a 48mm inverted fork adjustable in compression, rebound and preload with 210mm of travel. The rear monoshock has the same path, is supported by linkages and can be adjusted in preload using the remote control. The seat is 870 mm high but can be adjusted to be lowered up to 850 mm. The shape of the seat has been precisely designed to offer great comfort to suit all conditions of use, and its geometry manages to achieve 230 mm of ground clearance for ideal off-road use.<br/><br/>For brakes, go for the Brembo with two Stylema calipers mounted on two 320mm discs; At the rear, a twin-piston caliper does the same with a 265mm disc.<br/><br/>The variety of electronic aids is huge. Thanks to the 6-axis IMU inertial platform that manages valuable data, the MV Agusta Enduro Veloce intervenes very effectively in real time with different aids that adapt to preferences and different riding conditions and can choose between four riding modes.<br/><br/>With these, you can have eight different levels of traction control, five for road, two for off-road, and one for rain.<br/><br/>Source: https://www.motorbikemag.es/ficha-tecnica/mv-agusta-enduro-veloce/")

_new-name-new-hardware-new-volvo-ex40-black-edition-2024.jpg "But with Volvo now launching a range of new dedicated EVs, including the EX30 and flagship EX90 (due in late 2024), it seems fitting that the electric XC40s will be renamed EX40. At the same time, the coupe-style C40 will soon be called EC40. But while there's a new name, not much has changed other than a minor software-assisted power upgrade and the nifty Black Edition hardware level.<br/><br/>The EX40's interior is business as usual and remains unchanged compared to the current electric XC40 Recharge. Although Volvo has more recently developed the vertical 9.0-inch touchscreen to run on Android software, you get the same layout that this SUV has had since its original introduction; It enables built-in Google Maps, Google voice assistant and Play Store.<br/><br/>The screen remains largely intuitive, but the small buttons for highly critical controls like climate settings are difficult to use. While the overall look and layout remains smart, when seen next to Volvo's latest generation of cars (primarily the EX30) it starts to look a bit dated as its screen also looks quite small.<br/><br/>One thing you can't do without is the EX40's interior fit and finish. Although it's one of Volvo's cheaper models, the quality never feels that way due to an array of luxury materials used throughout. The Swedish firm has also ditched leather and adopted a range of sustainable alternative materials with its EX40 model. Our test car also has gorgeous wool cloth upholstery, giving it the feel of a more luxurious Scandinavian lounge rather than the interior of a compact SUV.<br/><br/>These seats play an important role in the overall feel of the EX40. We've spent a lot of time in XC40s over the years, and their seats are among the best on the market; offers plenty of power adjustments as well as an extendable seat base; Ideal for tall drivers.<br/><br/>Although theoretically no different from the XC40, we'll need more time to make a more definitive judgment on comfort with this newly updated Volvo.<br/><br/>Volvos are renowned for their safety, and there's little to suggest the EX40 will be any different. All of our time with the EX40 was spent on ice, but although there's no physical switch to turn off or reduce any of the electronic stability control aids, we'd say this is a car designed with safety rather than fun in mind.<br/><br/>The new EX40 will largely carry over the same two powertrains that have served the XC40 Recharge since its launch: a 238-hp single-motor, rear-wheel-drive model and a twin-motor, all-wheel-drive flagship model that produces a healthy 408 hp. .<br/><br/>But opt for the latter on the EX40 and you'll be able to add a new 'Performance' software upgrade that gives the engines an extra 34hp, bringing the total to a whopping 442hp. <br/> <br/>Source: https://www.parkers.co.uk/volvo/ex40/review/")

The domestic version Forester will receive minor model year updates for 2024, including the new STI Sport. A Black Interior Select trim is available, adopting an all-black theme for the cabin.<br/><br/>The exterior of the SUV remains unchanged since its last facelift in 2021. However, Subaru aims to maintain buyer interest with new equipment and special versions. The company is introducing the Subaru Forester STI Sport Black Interior Selection special edition for the 2024 model year.<br/><br/>Based on the current STI Sport trim introduced in 2022, this version features a darker interior that combines Nappa leather upholstery for the seats with silver stitching and piano black inserts.<br/><br/>Additionally, the STI Sport Black Interior Selection can be combined with the exclusive Offshore Blue Metallic exterior colour. Despite the connotations of the STI Sport badge, the model does not receive any power upgrades in lower trim levels and produces the same 175 hp (130 kW / 177 PS) from its 1.8-liter turbocharged boxer engine. It does, however, feature a set of STI-tuned dampers, resulting in improved credential processing.<br/><br/>Another highlight of the 2024 MY is the Geyser Blue color, available exclusively for the X-Edition and XT-Edition trims. This is the same color used on the US-spec Subaru Forester Wilderness, first introduced in Japan in late 2022 with the XT-Edition.<br/><br/>Both the X-Edition and XT-Edition trims are equipped with waterproof upholstery, durable cargo floor lining and black interior accents. The main difference is that the Forester X-Edition gets the 2.0-litre e-Boxer hybrid powertrain, while the XT-Edition gets the more powerful 1.8-litre turbocharged engine. All trims of the Forester come standard with Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system.<br/><br/>Pricing for the 2024 Subaru Forester in Japan starts at ¥3,069,000 ($20,040). As for special trims, the X-Edition starts at ¥3,377,000 ($22,051), the XT-Edition starts at ¥3,432,000 ($22,411), and the STI Sport Black Interior Select starts at ¥3,850,000 ($25,137).<br/><br/>This may be the last model year of the fifth-generation Subaru Forester in the Japanese market. The updated sixth-generation model could be introduced in 2025, following its launch in North America.<br/><br/>Source: https://www.carscoops.com/2024/04/subaru-updates-old-forester-in-japan-throws-in-new-sti-edition/")

That's what happened when the owner of the fifth of five Anniversario special editions ordered another example of the electric hypercar and asked Automobili Pininfarina designers to create the exact opposite: the Reversario.<br/><br/>The Pininfarina Battista Anniversario was released in 2020, celebrating the company's 90th anniversary, with a special livery and limited production of five units.

Iconica Blu was used for the perforations, seat belts and various inserts, and the Reversario badge made another appearance between the seats.<br/><br/>Pininfarina has also created a three-piece luggage set (briefcase, weekender bag and tool bag) finished in Black leather with Iconica Blu edging and white Alcantara quilting.<br/><br/>There are no changes in the equipment of the electric hypercar from the Rimac Nevera. The quad electric motors produce a total of 1,877 hp (1,400 kW / 1,903 PS) and 2,340 Nm (1,726 lb-ft) of torque and are powered by a 120 kWh battery pack.<br/><br/>As with the regular Battista, acceleration from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) is completed in 1.86 seconds, acceleration from 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) takes 4.75 seconds and top speed The speed is electronically limited.

_3-0l-inline-6-cyl-engine-starting-at-3686-900-new-ineos-grenadier-quartermaster-2024.webp "The capable off-roader comes standard in the US with a BMW-sourced 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine and 8-speed automatic transmission<br/><br/>While the US starting price starts below $87,000, options can increase the price significantly.<br/>Ineos sells the Grenadier Quartermaster in three different trim levels.<br/>Orders opened this week and deliveries will begin at the end of the year.<br/>Americans in the market for rugged, off-road pickup trucks now have a compelling new option to choose from with the local launch of the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster. Priced from $86,900, the new model is based on the regular Grenadier SUV, which the company calls the Station Wagon and has been on sale in America for several years starting at $71,500.<br/><br/>While much of the Quartermaster's design is the same as the standard model, it's now a pickup instead of an SUV. Interestingly, it has a wheelbase that is 305 mm (12 inches) longer than the Station Wagon. Three variants were announced; regular Quartermaster at $86,900, Trailmaster Edition at $94,900, and Fieldmaster Edition at $94,900; All prices exclude destination charges.<br/><br/>Several new components distinguish the Trailmaster Edition and Fieldmaster Edition from the base model. These include the front and rear differential locks on the Trailmaster, as well as the Smooth Pack with rear-view camera, front parking assist, heated side mirrors, heated windshield washer jets and auxiliary charging points.<br/><br/>Additionally, the Fieldmaster features smart speed assist, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and driver drowsiness detection, mirroring the features of the Trailmaster. Perhaps the Fieldmaster's most interesting feature is the two safari windows in the roof. It also has leather trim, a premium audio system, and heated front seats.<br/><br/>One of the reasons for the Grenadier Quartermaster's high cost is that it is produced alongside the Grenadier SUV at Ineos' factory in Hambach, France; this typically subjects it to a 25 percent U.S. tariff.<br/><br/>While the Grenadier Quartermaster is also available with a BMW-sourced 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder diesel engine in other markets, the only option in the United States is BMW's 3.0-liter inline-six gasoline engine producing 282 hp and 332 lb-ft (450 lb-ft) . Nm) torque. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual overdrive function.<br/><br/>The Grenadier Quartermaster has no direct rivals in the U.S. The most off-road-focused pickups in the U.S. include models like the Ford F-150 Raptor and Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, but the Ineos is more expensive than both. It is very similar to the Jeep Gladiator, but it is still positioned as a more premium option. In markets such as Australia, its closest rival will be the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series.<br/><br/>Source: https://www.carscoops.com/2024/04/ineos-grenadier-quartermaster-is-a-pricey-pickup-that-starts-from-87000/")

But that's no longer the case. Ingolstadt's sports sedan gets a mid-cycle facelift for the 2025 model year that brings more horsepower and some extra torque to boot.<br/><br/>At the heart of the 2025 Audi S3 is an uprated turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine making 328 horsepower and an estimated 310 pound-feet of torque. That's an increase of 22 hp and 15 lb-ft, enough to make the S3 stronger than a Golf R (315 hp and 295 lb-ft)—for now. VW's hot hatch is due for a facelift later this year, so there might be some extra power planned there too. In Europe, there are already special editions with 328 hp, matching the new S3.<br/><br/>The RS3's rear torque splitter trickles down to the lesser performance derivative. The technology enables fully variable torque distribution between the rear wheels. In conjunction with the newly added Dynamic Plus mode, the car sends as much torque as possible to the rear axle for a tail-happy experience. Audi doesn't call it a dedicated drift mode but does mention the S3 now has the tendency to oversteer when the sportiest settings are active.<br/><br/>Elsewhere, the 2.0 TFSI engine idles at 1,300 rpm (up by 200 rpm) for better off-the-line performance and the engineers have made the throttle response even more direct. In addition, the gear ratios are slightly shorter than before and the new S3 upshifts later and downshifts earlier to maintain a higher rpm for greater power availability.<br/><br/>It takes 4.4 seconds to hit 60 mph from a standstill, making it a tenth of a second quicker than the 2024 S3. The top speed remains unchanged, at 155 mph. There are now 235/35 Falken performance tires for the 19-inch wheels, along with bigger front brakes with perforated discs and new two-piston calipers. Audi is also fitting an evolution of the S3's electronic stability control system and stiffer bearings for the wishbone suspension to improve handling.<br/><br/>As before, we only get the four-door flavor in the United States, but the five-door Sportback also gets an update in Europe. There are some subtle styling changes to bring the S3 in line with the recently launched 2025 A3. It gets customizable LED daytime running lights by choosing from four designs via the infotainment system. The taillights show a different animation when you lock/unlock the car, and there are four fresh colors: Ascari Blue, District Green, Arkona White, and Progressive Red.<br/><br/>An ambient lighting package will be standard in the United States but that flat-bottomed steering wheel is going to cost you extra. Unlike the Golf R, there are still plenty of physical buttons below the 10.1-inch touchscreen. With the 2025MY, LED contour lighting has been added to the center console and cup holders.

The large shield-shaped grille is quite eye-catching. There are flat double horizontal bar headlights on both sides of the grille. The front bumper is an exaggerated three-section hollow decoration that combines aesthetics and functionality to cool the power system.<br/><br/>Looking from the side of the body, we can feel that the new car adopts a rather standard, large fastback coupe-style line. The line sinks significantly after the B-pillar, and the side windows are very narrow; Paired with large size glasses. In addition to the rims and multi-piece waistline, chrome decorative strips are used in every detail of the vehicle, giving the vehicle a feeling of complete luxury.<br/><br/>The viewing angle changes towards the rear of the car. The ducktail design at the rear of the GV80 Coupe is lively and active, forming a very stylish roof spoiler and a double tail spoiler system. Dual-section taillights are paired with the hatchback tailgate, which is also a similar design to the current GV80. The rear bumper features a very sporty, flat, two-sided rectangular exhaust that showcases a more extreme competitive style.<br/><br/>In the interior of the new car, the integrated bucket-shaped sports seats shown in the previous concept cars are not used, but the 27-inch Dalian screen design, crystal buttons, air conditioning touch panel, etc. are used.

As with the firm's other models, it is a 100% Italian-made product, artisanal and oriented towards maximum perfection and performance, but now applied to an adventure motorcycle of high flight and ambitions.<br/><br/>There are no surprises and it features the same three-cylinder engine as the LXP; A block mounting the counter-rotating crankshaft, one of the most special technological solutions on the market, is a system that allows the reduction of inertia and vibrations. It provides the highest competition and greater agility and stability.<br/><br/>It has a capacity of 931 cc, weighs only 57 kg and has extremely compact dimensions. It develops 124 hp at 10,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 102 Nm at 7000 rpm, but it is surprising that 85% of the torque is already delivered at only 3000 rpm. Its behavior is configured with both off-road and asphalt in mind.<br/><br/>The 6-speed transmission comes with Electronically Assisted Shifting (EAS) quick-shift system in version 4.0; This system allows you to shift up and down without using the clutch, but also with the accelerator pedal open in any situation.<br/><br/>As expected from any motorcycle from the Italian brand, the chassis is first class. MV Agusta Enduro Veloce aims for the highest level, starting with a perimeter chassis with a closed double-cradle design, with materials and design designed to strike a balance between stability at high speeds and absorption capacity in off-road use. The subframe is removable for easy maintenance, while the swingarm is made of aluminum.<br/><br/>As for suspensions, rely on Sachs with a 48mm inverted fork adjustable in compression, rebound and preload with 210mm of travel. The rear monoshock has the same path, is supported by linkages and can be adjusted in preload using the remote control. The seat is 870 mm high but can be adjusted to be lowered up to 850 mm. The shape of the seat has been precisely designed to offer great comfort to suit all conditions of use, and its geometry manages to achieve 230 mm of ground clearance for ideal off-road use.<br/><br/>For brakes, go for the Brembo with two Stylema calipers mounted on two 320mm discs; At the rear, a twin-piston caliper does the same with a 265mm disc.<br/><br/>The variety of electronic aids is huge. Thanks to the 6-axis IMU inertial platform that manages valuable data, the MV Agusta Enduro Veloce intervenes very effectively in real time with different aids that adapt to preferences and different riding conditions and can choose between four riding modes.<br/><br/>With these, you can have eight different levels of traction control, five for road, two for off-road, and one for rain.<br/><br/>Source: https://www.motorbikemag.es/ficha-tecnica/mv-agusta-enduro-veloce/")

_new-name-new-hardware-new-volvo-ex40-black-edition-2024.webp "But with Volvo now launching a range of new dedicated EVs, including the EX30 and flagship EX90 (due in late 2024), it seems fitting that the electric XC40s will be renamed EX40. At the same time, the coupe-style C40 will soon be called EC40. But while there's a new name, not much has changed other than a minor software-assisted power upgrade and the nifty Black Edition hardware level.<br/><br/>The EX40's interior is business as usual and remains unchanged compared to the current electric XC40 Recharge. Although Volvo has more recently developed the vertical 9.0-inch touchscreen to run on Android software, you get the same layout that this SUV has had since its original introduction; It enables built-in Google Maps, Google voice assistant and Play Store.<br/><br/>The screen remains largely intuitive, but the small buttons for highly critical controls like climate settings are difficult to use. While the overall look and layout remains smart, when seen next to Volvo's latest generation of cars (primarily the EX30) it starts to look a bit dated as its screen also looks quite small.<br/><br/>One thing you can't do without is the EX40's interior fit and finish. Although it's one of Volvo's cheaper models, the quality never feels that way due to an array of luxury materials used throughout. The Swedish firm has also ditched leather and adopted a range of sustainable alternative materials with its EX40 model. Our test car also has gorgeous wool cloth upholstery, giving it the feel of a more luxurious Scandinavian lounge rather than the interior of a compact SUV.<br/><br/>These seats play an important role in the overall feel of the EX40. We've spent a lot of time in XC40s over the years, and their seats are among the best on the market; offers plenty of power adjustments as well as an extendable seat base; Ideal for tall drivers.<br/><br/>Although theoretically no different from the XC40, we'll need more time to make a more definitive judgment on comfort with this newly updated Volvo.<br/><br/>Volvos are renowned for their safety, and there's little to suggest the EX40 will be any different. All of our time with the EX40 was spent on ice, but although there's no physical switch to turn off or reduce any of the electronic stability control aids, we'd say this is a car designed with safety rather than fun in mind.<br/><br/>The new EX40 will largely carry over the same two powertrains that have served the XC40 Recharge since its launch: a 238-hp single-motor, rear-wheel-drive model and a twin-motor, all-wheel-drive flagship model that produces a healthy 408 hp. .<br/><br/>But opt for the latter on the EX40 and you'll be able to add a new 'Performance' software upgrade that gives the engines an extra 34hp, bringing the total to a whopping 442hp. <br/> <br/>Source: https://www.parkers.co.uk/volvo/ex40/review/")

The domestic version Forester will receive minor model year updates for 2024, including the new STI Sport. A Black Interior Select trim is available, adopting an all-black theme for the cabin.<br/><br/>The exterior of the SUV remains unchanged since its last facelift in 2021. However, Subaru aims to maintain buyer interest with new equipment and special versions. The company is introducing the Subaru Forester STI Sport Black Interior Selection special edition for the 2024 model year.<br/><br/>Based on the current STI Sport trim introduced in 2022, this version features a darker interior that combines Nappa leather upholstery for the seats with silver stitching and piano black inserts.<br/><br/>Additionally, the STI Sport Black Interior Selection can be combined with the exclusive Offshore Blue Metallic exterior colour. Despite the connotations of the STI Sport badge, the model does not receive any power upgrades in lower trim levels and produces the same 175 hp (130 kW / 177 PS) from its 1.8-liter turbocharged boxer engine. It does, however, feature a set of STI-tuned dampers, resulting in improved credential processing.<br/><br/>Another highlight of the 2024 MY is the Geyser Blue color, available exclusively for the X-Edition and XT-Edition trims. This is the same color used on the US-spec Subaru Forester Wilderness, first introduced in Japan in late 2022 with the XT-Edition.<br/><br/>Both the X-Edition and XT-Edition trims are equipped with waterproof upholstery, durable cargo floor lining and black interior accents. The main difference is that the Forester X-Edition gets the 2.0-litre e-Boxer hybrid powertrain, while the XT-Edition gets the more powerful 1.8-litre turbocharged engine. All trims of the Forester come standard with Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system.<br/><br/>Pricing for the 2024 Subaru Forester in Japan starts at ¥3,069,000 ($20,040). As for special trims, the X-Edition starts at ¥3,377,000 ($22,051), the XT-Edition starts at ¥3,432,000 ($22,411), and the STI Sport Black Interior Select starts at ¥3,850,000 ($25,137).<br/><br/>This may be the last model year of the fifth-generation Subaru Forester in the Japanese market.
