Aspect 1: Even the public is going to drive Tesla? Benchmark Tesla? Volkswagen ID. R uses secret battery technology.
Volkswagen is planning to launch a new electric sports car ID. R, it is expected to be put into production around 2025. According to senior public sources, the car will be built on Volkswagen's MEB platform, and the ID.3 model was also born on this platform. According to reports, ID. The R model will adopt high-performance battery technology, and this model is launched to compete with the Tesla Roadster model.
Volkswagen has designed several research models for the new car at its headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany and ID. R will be the first to use the "high-performance battery" being developed by Volkswagen. The new battery technology comes from the patented battery technology used by Volkswagen ID. R prototype has created many performance records in recent years. At present, Volkswagen is making final adjustments to the performance parameters of the battery.
Although Volkswagen has taken safety measures for this battery technology, according to internal sources, this battery adopts a completely different technology from ID.3 battery. In addition, in order to improve sales and economic benefits, ID. R battery adopts a brand-new CTP (modular power battery pack) structure. Previously, the head of Volkswagen's R department revealed that the biggest difference between pure electric ordinary family cars and high-performance road cars lies in the power battery management system and cooling system.
Id card. R will adopt two-seat or 2+2-seat design, and it is possible to adopt a dual-motor setting similar to Volkswagen's upcoming ID.4 model. It is reported that ID. R will not only become the first electric flagship sports car of Volkswagen brand, but also provide a foundation for Audi to develop electric sports cars. Previously, Audi planned to develop an electric vehicle version for TT models.
Aspect 2: More British luxury! Published on 202 1? A new generation of Land Rover Range Rover spy photos exposure
Recently, overseas media reported a set of spy photos of a new generation of Land Rover Range Rover, which is currently undergoing winter testing. It is reported that the new car is expected to be officially released in 20021year, when it will be put on a brand-new platform and presented to the world with a brand-new look, but BMW is expected to help it in terms of power.
Through the spy photos of this exposure, we can see that the new generation Land Rover Range Rover maintains the founder design of the Land Rover family, but the front and rear taillights of the new car still use temporary parts, so we can't see the latest shape. However, we speculate that with the positioning of Land Rover's three product lines, namely Defender, Discovery and Range Rover, the product camp represented by a new generation of Range Rover will definitely establish its own luxury attributes through a brand-new design style.
In addition, we also noticed that the spy wheel base of this exposure is much larger than the new generation Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition that was previously exposed. In the future, the new car will be built based on Land Rover Vertical Modular Architecture (MLA), so we do not rule out that the new generation Land Rover Range Rover will continue to provide long-wheelbase models.
In terms of power, the new Ingenium Yingli power system produced by Jaguar Land Rover will become the entry-level and mid-equipped model choice of new cars, and a plug-in hybrid version will be born based on it. According to more information from foreign media, as a symbol of top luxury products, it will be possible to realize a larger displacement V8 engine through cooperation with BMW. However, we are also curious that with the launch of BMW's flagship SUV-BMW X7, the new car is in the same camp as Land Rover Range Rover in product positioning, and mainly focuses on the two luxury SUV consumer markets in North America and China. Therefore, if BMW Group provides engines for Range Rover, it is equivalent to helping its rivals strengthen, so we will wait and see whether BMW Group can finally reach an agreement with Jaguar Land Rover.
Aspect 3: Retro British "classic car" with Z4 kernel? Or BMW Z4? Morgan's new sports car preview
A few days ago, morgan motor announced that it would release a brand-new model based on the new platform during the Geneva Motor Show, which will be equipped with a four-cylinder engine.
At present, the official has only released a preview of the new car. It can be seen from the protruding wheel arches on both sides and the long engine compartment that the car is expected to continue to maintain the family-style retro design style. This new car will be built on the aluminum chassis officially called CX generation, and the traditional platform that has been used since 1936 will become history. According to foreign media reports, Morgan officials will also launch 20 special editions based on this car, and the body will be decorated with gold plating.
In terms of power system, the official has confirmed that the new car will use a four-cylinder engine. Combined with the long-term cooperation between Morgan and BMW, it is reported that the new car will be equipped with the same 2.0T engine as the BMW Z4, but the specific engine parameters are still unknown. In addition, the official also said that this car will provide a manual gearbox.
