Porsche has unveiled its resto-modded Project Gold 911 Turbo, with a brand new 3.6-litre turbocharged flat six engine wrapped up in a lovingly-restored 993 Turbo body.
The one-off reportedly took 18 months to create, using a combination of original, restored and 'new' parts. Both the transmission and all-wheel drive system are from the Porsche Classic catalogue, while the aluminium chassis – a first for the 911 when the car was initially released – was stamped by hand for Project Gold.
Andy Palmer, Aston Martin CEO, has shared an image of the “production intent battery” set to power the upcoming RapidE electric four-door sports car.
Based on the existing Rapide AMR, the RapidE will be Aston Martin’s first foray into the world of electric and electrified vehicles, which are set to feature more heavily in its range by the year 2025.
Volvo has previewed its forthcoming ‘360c’ initiative with a short video posted to its global Facebook page.
The video consists of a single synthesised piano note, followed by the text ‘360c’.
Volvo has captioned the video; “This could be the sound of your future ride. What do you think it's saying? #360c”
Judging by both the caption and Volvo’s interaction with commenters on the video, the teaser likely has something to do with its recently-announced ‘M’ mobility service.
