Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid , The One That Everyone Been Looking For

-

It is official !! Dear internal combustion fans , the automotive industry is taking electric and plug-in Hybrid as the future . That is right , no longer V12 , V10 and V8s will be made and that was confirmed by Ferrari through their Turbo charged V8 488 GTB , Ford with their EcoBoost engines and the Titan of the industry Porsche with their Turbo charged V6s . Although there are some brands that are still attached to the perception of having a V12 or V10 rambling at the back like Lamborghini,the efforts made to save these configuration are fading due to regulations and the rise of a new force of hybrid performance setups.

If you are familiar with  Hollywood made movies , the word Hybrid means something more powerful than both sides , a mix between a Lycan and a Vampire gives a creature more capable than both , for cars Hybrid meant for years a Toyota Prius but it is no longer the case because Porsche are now offering a Plug-in Hybrid Panamera .


We were all shocked , well most of us , by the looks of the first generation of Panamera because it looked like a 911 that suffered from a genetic mutation and have grown a curved monstrous backend.
The car is more elegant now , the lines gives it the sporty looks that was missing and goes in hand with the brand's legacy . The narrow brake lights and the hidden spoiler were the vital touches that has put emphasis on the new looks . It is not just a face-lift from the previous model , Porsche claims it is a totally new and improved Panamera . 


Porsche came to recognize the fact that the first generation needed some adjustments so it would conciliate the growing demand on great and modern design . The changes go beyond the skin , the skeleton is brand new , the new platform of the Porsche makes it nimble and "it will be used in other models from Bently" Porsche stated . The Panamera is available in 4E-Plug hybrid , Turbo and S models but the 4 E is cheaper because of tax incentives from governments , the model ranges from 90k dollars up to 114k and it is worth it .


The  4 E has a complicated synergy between electric and petrol engines , they are both linked to a newely developed PDK 8 speed dual clutch transmission and that means that you still get a multy gear transmission even in electric mode ,sort of . The Panamera 4E has 330 hp V6 engine from Audi jointly working with a 136 hp electric motor to produce a maximum 462 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque .
It is not quick but the instant torque you get from the electric engine will compensate the need for bigger and more expensive Turbo model . The car can be driven in four Modes , E for fully Electric , Petrol , H for Hybrid and sport for a maximum performance .

The set back of this 4 E is the same as every other electric car , range . It is the Kryptonite for these beasts ( except Tesla) because the 4 E offers a Maximum of 50 km range from a 5 hours charge . In the past few days , a bunch of Italians took a Tesla Model S and  drove it for a 1000 km on a single charge and that is due to the 7000 batteries mounted in the spine of the 100D , but Tesla is a full electric car that is plenty of room for bigger and more efficient batteries . It is worth to mention that the new Panamera has an adaptive suspension to control the driving style with sport and sport+ .  


No one can argue that Porsche is the best brand when it comes to interior , when Porsche gives new feature of their design , everyone follow suit . The car is wrapped up in leather and loaded with the latest invention and the best sound system from the same company that equiped the Veyron . 
12 inches touch infotainment system with two 10 inches at the back . Without going through more details because they are available everywhere , the interior is a great place to be in a Porsche .

Apollo Intensa Emozione, A Proper Name For a Chinese Car

Intensa Emozine, that translates to fierce emotion. By the look at Apollo's latest creation you can see why the car was named like that. Although the owner of Apollo is chinese , he was convinced somhow that an Italian name would fit his baby more than a chinese one that has raging or dragon in it .  This prove apollo is in good hands now , we all remember the fastest car on Top Gear's test track , the Gumpert. You might recall its hedious looks as well ,but the Intensa Emozione is surely a great creation to look at . In 2001 , Ronald Gumpert returned to Germany after being in China for 3 years working as the head of marketing operations of Audi and VW . He had a dream of creating a car that is road legal and can be ready to take up corners of Monza at any speed . Automobile designer , Roland Mayer had the same idea and they joined forces to create something that would redefine the terms of speed and aerodynamics. They both provided the first prototype of the Gum

Toyota Century MK3, Back to the V8

The Toyota Century , a name that was exclusively meant for Japan. The reason behind the birth of this model was the 100th birthday of Toyata's founder sakichi Toyoda. The Century was meant for Japanese businessmen only because the luxury of Toyota can only be sensed through Lexus globally The first introduction of the Cnetury MK1 was in 1967 and it was only available with a V8 option under the bonet and the model haven't wittnessed any changes for the next 30 years until  the biggest step made in the Japanese automotive history in 1997 . The century MK2 was monuted with a V12 the first and last to date engine with that configuration. We have never seen Toyota daring to make the V12 again even with this new model which a big disappointement. A downer indeed , the new Century has another V8 , but before we get to that , we need to say a few words about the design. The car is being promoted as ever as a luxurious limousine , quite like the Mercedes S class  , the Audi A8 a
