  • Toyota GR H2 Racing Concept

    At a press conference of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) at Circuit de la Sarthe in western France on June 9, Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman Akio Toyoda revealed for the first time the hydrogen engine vehicle prototype “GR H2 Racing Concept”.

    Developed with future competition in its sights, the prototype’s unveiling was spurred by a recent announcement by the ACO, the organizer of Le Mans 24 Hours, that it would allow hydrogen-engine vehicles to compete―in addition to fuel cell electric vehicles―in the race’s hydrogen category.

    Speaking at the press conference, Toyoda congratulated the ACO on the centenary of the Le Mans 24 Hours (Le Mans) endurance race and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to hone cars through the race.

    Toyota has been competing using a hydrogen-engine Corolla in the Super Taikyu Series since Round 3 of the 2021 season and raced the same car in the IDEMITSU 1500 SUPER ENDURANCE 2022 at Thailand’s Chang International Circuit in December 2022. By doing so, it has been honing its technologies in the harsh environment of motorsports and, with like-minded partners in and outside the automotive industry, accelerating its efforts for producing, transporting, and using hydrogen toward the realization of a carbon-neutral society. Toyota intends to further advance such efforts for making ever-better motorsports-bred cars and realizing a carbon-neutral society and it looks forward to taking on the challenge of a new generation of Le Mans 24 races.

  • Hummer H2 By Vilner Is Perfect For The Summer

    Hummer H2 By Vilner - Front AngleHummer H2 has been restyled by the luxury tuning specialists at Vilner. They have given almost full treatment to the entire interior, ranging from the seats, to the dashboard, steering wheel and doors, as well as the ceiling. As a consequence, the dull grey interior color gave way to the contrast combination of black and yellow leathers, including nappa, shagreen and Alcantara. As you can see, the decoration inside is achieved by contrasting yellow stitching and embroidery in the same color.

    The main theme of this Hummer H2 is the Chinese dragon, which is not considered evil in the Asian mythology. In fact, the Chinese dragon is a good creature that carries luck and wealth. According to ancient myths, the dragon is a symbol of man’s Jan nature, and thus it becomes a symbol of power, and it is even part of the emblem of the Chinese Han Dynasty.

    Outside the dragon in the H2 is created with black foil, while inside – on the ceiling, doors, seats, glove box, it was made via fine embroidery in yellow. In addition, the chrome grille on the hood features black leather handles also finished in yellow contrasting stitching.

    Furthermore, the seat belts are in yellow body color, the mileages are also yellow and their lightning is changed with LED diodes. Even the door pockets are wrapped in leather. At last, the giant Hummer H2 by Vilner rides on 26 inch wheels, which also adds to its attractiveness as a summer ride.
