    2019-MG-Motor-MG3-910MG Motor UK, one of UK’s fast growing brands, presents its latest project: a new MG3 vehicle that would replace the current flagship model and would showcase new design, technologies and utility gadgets.

All three trim levels are geared with Bluetooth, large color touchscreen, smartphone incorporation, DAB radio and steering wheel controls. However, Exclusive pack adds a reversing camera with dynamic guidelines. Sweet.

    Starting with relatively low price, MG3 would also try to appeal to enthusiasts with sexy design. The whole visual concept has undergone an extensive update and now showcases star-rider grille with neat frames and brand’s notable logo, clean lines and sporty expression. The interior, on the other hand, is practical, spacious and stylish. In fact, new MG3 offers one of the roomiest cabins in the supermini segment with class-leading head and leg room. The revised design has aided designers and engineers to pump up the space to a total of 285 liters of capacity.

  • Volkswagen reveals efficient and agile concept vehicle

    2018 Volkswagen XL1 Hybrid ConceptLet’s talk about a supercar that is, above all, super efficient. Summer visitors of the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu can witness Volkswagen’s latest and definitely strangest vehicle – the XL1 Hybrid that offers cutting-edge low emissions, smooth driving experience and advanced technologies. So, let’s delve into Volkswagen’s ideas, shall we?

    Presented as a Super Efficiency Vehicle, the XL1 is fitted with both electric motor and a compact 800cc two-cylinder diesel engine, paired to a dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox, delivering power to the rear wheels. As you might well expect, being a super-duper ecologically friendly machine, the XL1 can be driven solely on electric power for about 30 miles with a single charge. However, once the battery power drops below 14%, the diesel motor engages and together the vehicle can make a pretty impressive run of up to 340 miles with a single gallon of diesel. Neat!

    2018 Volkswagen XL1 Hybrid Concept

    By now you should have noticed the body style. It resembles a Jetta in wheelchair. Frankly said, we are unimpressed by the design work – the vehicle really looks as it would not live without the aid of a lifesaving system. However, Volkswagen team came up with an explanation and sort of an excuse: the body shell is constructed from carbon fiber reinforced polymer, and all component weight a fraction of the steel equivalents. And by installing polycarbonate windows, the XL1 has reached super-low overall weight: 795kg. Although we do understand the intention behind the lightweight construction, we still believe that the design hasn’t reached its prime state and form.

    SEE ALSO: Ford Performance reveals limited run of new Mustang machines

    However, we are still eager to see this guy performing. Although not super-impressive performance rates are recorded, we see the results as satisfactory and capable of doing the job just fine – XL1 can speed from 0 to 62mph in 11.9 seconds and chase an electronically limited top speed of 99mph. Not bad for an efficient vehicle, right?

    2018 Volkswagen XL1 Hybrid Concept

    Named as “car of the future, built today”, XL1 is a result of almost two centuries of hard work – the first concept was revealed back in 2002 and the second seven years later in 2009 and featured tandem seating, while the 2011 version was offered as staggered side-by-side seats. Neat!

  • Ford Performance reveals limited run of new Mustang machines

    2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet Ford Performance reveals details about one of the fastest drag vehicles that the brand has ever produced – a menacing Mustang that is capable of covering quarter of a mile in mere mid-eight-second range. This Mustang Cobra Jet is also a limited-edition vehicle that honors the 50th anniversary of the original drab beast, revealed in 1968.

    Making its debut this weekend at the 2018 Woodward Dream Cruise, the Cobra Jet would try to become the most powerful and quickest Mustang Cobra Jet ever created – and we tend to believe such words. After all, stock rates are pretty impressive – the vehicle can reach 150mph incredibly fast and at the same time the eight-second quarter mile run is pretty menacing achievement.

    2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet

    In terms of drivetrain system, the vehicle is geared with an exclusive 5.2-liter engine that appears to be a revised version of Ford’s popular and successful 5.0-liter V8 that is strengthened and enhanced with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger. The power is distributed to the wheels through a 9-inch solid rear axle, two-way coil-over stocks with adjustable ride height and low-drag disc brake system from Strange Engineering. There’s also an exclusive four-link rear suspension with antiroll and panhard bars. Neat!
