The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 SUV offers a fresh look for the classic vehicle. It’s a handsome SUV, like a finely kept jeep, which people have come to expect from the G-Class series. It’s hard to take a 40-plus year iconic vehicle and completely change it into something it’s not. That is exactly that Mercedes-Benz didn’t do with the 2019 G550. Instead, they kept the timeless look and its overall box-like form (though the new version is a couple of inches longer and wider). They say if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. But for the G550, the expression should be if it looks amazing, make it look even better.

2019 Mercedes-Benz G550

The exterior of the SUV still has many of the characteristics of the 2018 G550, including the handles that make the doors sound like bank vaults when they close, and the spare tire on the back door. The interior is a big upgrade from last year, with Classic Nappa leather seating. There’s also natural wood surfaces, a 64-color LED ambient lighting selection, an insulated sunroof, a new center console, a steering wheel with a touch controls, and more leg room.

It takes rugged terrains with ease with 4-wheel drive and front suspension, and can go from 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds. You can drive comfortably on concrete surfaces, in the dusty landscape of the desert, through the muddy terrain of the countryside, and uphill on the paved roads of the city. This luxury, off-road SUV, what even Forbes calls “Beverly Hills Meets Desert Dirt,” is a vehicle for all occasions, while keeping that upscale appearance, even when dirty. If you’re a tough, but polished person, you’ll love the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 because it says so much about you and makes the right first impression.

Aston Martin will be launching a “Heritage EV” program in late 2019, taking vintage cars and turning them into electric cars. Existing owners of the 1970 DB6 MkII Volante will be the first to get their cars retrofitted into fully electric cars. The original engine and gearbox will be removed and be replaced with newer technology. The car maker wants to preserve the look of their vintage cars, because it is part of its heritage and its brand. Plus, Aston Martin owners would not be please to have the look of their vehicles completely changed. This program allows them to respect the environment and new laws concerning internal combustion engines.

The amazing thing about this conversion is that it is reversible. So the owner will have the option to remove the EV technology and re-insert the original engine.

The reason that Aston Martin is doing this is simple: Cities around the globe are starting to ban what they consider to be “polluting vehicles,” and a vintage Aston Martin would be considered a polluting vehicle. So far, places like Geneva, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, and many other cities have such bans.

The EV technology that Aston Martin will put inside their vintage vehicles will be the same as their Rapide E. The cars will be powered by a 65kWh battery, have a range of 200 miles, travel at a maximum speed of 115 mph, and go from 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds.

As Martin Lagonda, President and CEO of Aston Martin said during a press release today: “We are very aware of the environmental and social pressures that threaten to restrict the use of classic cars in the years to come. Our Second Century Plan not only encompasses our new and future models, but also protects our treasured heritage. I believe this not only makes Aston Martin unique, but a truly forward-thinking leader in this field.”

The Karma Revero is a mean looking car that nobody should mess with if they aren’t serious about cars. Even on Karma’s website, the company is clear about who should buy the Revero: “We are not for everybody, and never will be. No one needs a product like this. We exist for those who have to have one.”

Founded in 2014, Karma, headquartered in Irvine, California, is a car making startup designing luxury performance cars as good as the traditional luxury car makers. They’ve brought automobile assembly to Southern California for the first time in decades. Although the engineering is done in Troy, Michigan, Karma’s manufacturing facility is in Moreno Valley, California.

Karma is shaking up the car industry with the Revero. It’s an extended-range electric vehicle, with an aluminum frame, and a muscular look. With dual electric motors to provide plenty of torque, and 6 Piston calipers and regenerative breaking to preserve the brakes, the Revero looks imposing, but offers a smooth ride. A lithium-ion battery, with a 24 minute charge time, gives the Revero a total range of 300 miles. For Karma, what should attract people to buying a Revero is the comfort level, not its technical stats. Whereas the exterior has a strapping, menacing look, the interior’s unlacquered reclaimed wood trim, jewel detailing, leather seats, makes it smooth and diplomatic.

What makes the Revero unique, and Karma different, compared to the rest of the car industry, is one key feature and a personal touch on each car. In an industry first, the Revero has a solar roof which powers the car with an output of 200w. As it says on Karma’s site, “Leave your car at the airport for a week and drive home on the power of the sun.” Then, what differentiates Karma from other car makers is that each vehicle is slightly unique, and that uniqueness is achieved by more than just a different vehicle identification number. The badges on both the front and the back of the car are hand-painted, which Karma’s says we should, “consider it a small but symbolic statement about craftsmanship and individuality.”

5 Reasons to Love the Lotus Evija Hypercar | LUNO https://iamluno.com/2019/09/12/5-reasons-to-love-the-lotus-evija-hypercar-luno/ https://iamluno.com/2019/09/12/5-reasons-to-love-the-lotus-evija-hypercar-luno/#respond Thu, 12 Sep 2019 13:07:12 +0000 https://iamluno.com/?p=6416 It doesn’t matter if a company has made one car model or many, the release of a new vehicle is always going to be scrutinized.

The post 5 Reasons to Love the Lotus Evija Hypercar | LUNO appeared first on Luno.

]]>
It doesn’t matter if a company has made one car model or many, the release of a new vehicle is always going to be scrutinized. For Lotus, the Evija is their first hypercar. Known for its sports cars, including many F1 cars, Evija is an electric vehicle with a familiar futuristic look.

 

So what makes Evija so special?

 

Here are 5 Reasons to Love the Lotus Evija Hypercar:

 

1 – The Name

Why Evija? It is a derivative of Eve, the first woman mentioned in the Bible. Like the biblical character, Evija is the “first in the existence” for Lotus, who have never built a hypercar before this one.

Evija

 

2 – The Flashy Look

When Lotus was designing Evija, they were inspired by forms of rock. So the forms of the car give it an ageless design. It looks like the luxury cars that have existed for the last four decades, but is actually a newer version of them. From the back, this car looks like it might even be able to fly…of course not really…at least not yet. (Uber is developing flying taxis, so it’s not as far-fetched as you think!)

Evija

 

3 – Lightness….sort of

Evija is lighter than most electric cars, which helps it to go from 0 to 62 mph in less than three seconds. But compared to Lotus’ other cars, Evija is the heaviest, at 3,700 lbs.

Evija

 

4 – Scissor doors

Pulling up to valet parking and stepping out from scissor doors is not just for celebrities anymore, but regular high net worth individuals who deserve the toys that they have. If the paparazzi follow you by accident, just take it as a compliment.

Evija

 

5 – Exclusivity

Lotus have only made 130 models of Evija, so not many people will get a chance to own this car. And since it was just released in July 2019, you don’t want to miss out.

The Evija looks timeless,
