Koenigsegg One:1

-


The Koenigsegg One:1 was presented at the March 2014 Geneva Motor Show.[17] Koenigsegg will build six cars apart from the car presented at the Geneva Motor Show. All the cars have already been sold. Koenigsegg brought two cars to the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it was displayed alongside other supercars such as the McLaren P1, the Ferrari LaFerrari, the Porsche 918 Spyder, and the Pagani Huayra.
The name One:1 comes from the power (1360 bhp) to weight (1360 kg) ratio giving the car 1 bhp per 1 kg weight. The 1360 bhp power output is the equivalent of one megawatt, which Koenigsegg claims makes the One:1 the ‘world's first megacar’. The car is more focused as a track car than the previous cars made by Koenigsegg. Koenigsegg had to sacrifice a few things to be able to achieve their goal with the car. There is an airscoop on the removable roof, so it would not have been possible to stow the roof in the boot like previous models. As such, Koenigsegg have taken advantage of this and modeled the front to create more downforce, which reduces boot capacity by 40%. The Koenigsegg One:1 is fitted with a variant of the same 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine used in the other Ageras. It produces 1,379 PS (1,014 kW) at 7500 rpm and 1,371 N·m (1,011 lb·ft) of torque at 6000 rpm.[2] Total weight of the engine is only 197 kg (434 lb) thanks to a carbon fiber intake manifold and the aluminium construction. The transmission is a 7-speed dual clutch paddle shift.
The One:1 is capable of accelerating to 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.8 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.6 seconds, 300 km/h (186 mph) in 11.9 seconds, and 322 km/h (200 mph) in 14.3 seconds.[18][unreliable source?][not in citation given]
The One:1 can reach a theoretical top speed of 280 mph (451 km/h), faster than the 273 mph Agera R and the 275 mph Agera RS.
On 18 July 2016, a One:1 crashed during practice sessions at the Nürburgring Track. The exterior panels and subframes of the car were severely damaged but Koenigsegg stated that the car would be rebuilt.[19][20]

The  Aptera 2 Series  (formerly the Aptera Typ-1) was a high-efficiency passenger  three-wheeled automobile  under development by  Aptera Motors . The California-based company opened a pre-ordering process for residents of California, but stopped taking deposits in July 2011, and on August 12, 2011, Aptera announced it would return all deposits from customers who had signed up to buy an Aptera 2e electric car or the planned 2h hybrid, [3]  before the company finally folded in December 2011. The first variant of the 2 Series slated for production was the Aptera 2e (formerly Typ-1e), a  battery electric vehicle . [4]  Aptera claimed the 2e would accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in less than 10 seconds, and be capable of reaching a top speed of over 85 mph (137 km/h). [5]  A later variant would have been Aptera 2h (formerly Typ-1h), a  plug-in hybrid  electric vehicle. According to Aptera, the 2 Series would have been priced from the mid- US$20,000 s to mid- US$40,000 s,

The  Ford F-Series  is a series of  light-duty trucks  and medium-duty trucks (Class 2-7) that have been marketed and manufactured by  Ford Motor Company  since 1948. While most variants of the F-Series trucks are  full-size pickup trucks , the F-Series also includes  chassis cab  trucks and  commercial vehicles . The Ford F-Series has been the  best-selling vehicle in the United States  since 1981 and the best-selling pickup since 1977. [1] [2]  It is also the best selling vehicle in Canada. [3] In 1999, to bridge the gap between the pickup line and the medium-duty trucks, the F-250 and F-350 became the  Ford Super Duty  vehicles; considered an expansion of the F-Series, the Super Duty trucks are built on a distinct chassis with heavier-duty components. As of the 2017 model year, the F-Series includes the F-150, the Super Duty (F-250 through F-550), and  F-650 and F-750 Super Duty  medium-duty commercial trucks. The most popular version of the F-Series is the F-150, now in its

https://ift.tt/3iMzCd8 Spite Of…Everything, Lordstown Endurance Electric Pickup Said to Be On Track

Lordstown Motors appears to be shifting chairs on the deck of the Titanic. The electric truck startup kept a scheduled media event one day after CEO Steve Burns and chief financial officer Julio Rodriguez resigned after an investigation by the company’s board. The virtual meeting with the Automotive Press Association out of Detroit started with a statement by Angela Strand, the lead independent director who has been appointed executive chairman. Lordstown is committed to transparency and plans to start limited production in late September, with no disruptions in day-to-day operations envisioned, Strand says. Then president Rich Schmidt and chief engineer Darren Post proceeded with an upbeat presentation about the virtues of the Lordstown Endurance electric pickup, which the company says is sold out through 2022. And they showed the plant with robots and conveyor belts in full motion as the former General Motors factory continues its retooling in preparation for the fall launch. Who
