New Mercedes-AMG C63 would be using a hybrid-tech from AMG GT73e

Mercedes-AMG C63 which is a next-gen car would be using the Mercedes’ new P3 plug-in hybrid system that will be available in the upcoming AMG GT73e 4-Door Coupe. This new PHEV system will be paired with a turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine which comes with the upcoming C63e 4Matic+ EQ Power+.

For the powertrain, the new AMG C63 would use a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine that is used by the A45 S 4Matic+. It would come with a 48V integrated starter motor in the nine-speed AMG Speedshift MCT automatic gearbox. The electric motor from the P3 PHEV system will help drive the rear axle and a battery pack is a place under the boot floor to help run it.

There isn’t much info about this, but the exact figures will be revealed later this year. However, the AMG insiders have predicted that the output would be around 548hp and 800Nm. That would help increase nearly 38hp and 100Nm over the C63 S 4Matic.

The new integrated starter motor that is being used by the new C63e claims to operate in a very similar manner to the unit on Mercedes-AMG’s F1 engine. There are various driving modes present, that help provides energy recuperation as well as coasting properties on a trailing throttle.

The same goes for the weight of the car, as there isn’t much information about it either, we can expect the new AMG model to weigh around 250kg. The weight is actually more than the current C63 S 4Matic, most of the weight that has been added should help provide it with the 0-100kph acceleration of around 3.5sec. Addiontially, the governed 290kph top speed would be there, and also there would a drastic improvement in the actual fuel consumption. As for the battery charging, the maker has claimed that it would support 400V recharging, and the fast charging would add up to 100kW.

All-Electric Sportscar MG Cyberster to unveil on 31st March

MG Motors has released some images of its upcoming electric sports car the Cyberster. It is a concept car and will be unveiled globally on 31 March. However, it was also earlier teased in May of 2020. Currently, there are no details as to its electric powertrain or the battery pack as MG hasn’t given any detail about that.

With these new images shared by MG Motors, it is confirmed that it features a long bonnet lowering towards the front with a slim front grille. For the sides of the Cyberster, it would get the MGB Roadster that is inspired by the convertible shape with an LED strip running across the side body. Additionally, MG has also stated that the rotating spokes will be equipped with a central locking mechanism.

While it is not confirmed, it is expected that the rear would come with vertically stacked LED tail lamps. There is a thick bar of horizontal LED outlines in the rear end which are housed to the rear spoiler. The same goes for the powertrain options, as there isn’t much info about them either. We can expect them to have a range of 800km and a sprint time of under three seconds from zero to 100kmph that is promised by the carmaker MG themselves.

The cabin of the new MG Cyberster, according to the maker would be having a gaming-type cockpit and even include 5G connection capabilities too. The support for 5G networks inside of a car is really interesting as a lot of phones don’t include them too either till now. We can expect the Cyberster to be the successor to the E-Motion concept, an electric four-seat sports coupe that was showcased in 2017 by MG.

The British riders are in their second season with Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team. After they had fought for the World Championship title until the final round in 2020. For Rinaldi, there is fresh from an excellent season in which he scored his first WorldSBK victory at Motorland Aragón. This could also be considered as a comeback after winning with the Aruba Junior Team the 2017 Superstock 1000 Championship Title.

The whole Ducati team was the leading character of the intense video that was traced the bikes’ assembly phases before exiting the pit lane for an ideal grid alignment. They had the original signatures of Stefano Cecconi CEO Aruba S.p.A. and Team Principal Aruba. it Racing – Ducati, Claudio Domenicali CEO of Ducati Motor Holding, Luigi Dall’Igna General Manager of Ducati Corse, Paolo Ciabatti Ducati Corse Sporting Director, and Daniele Casolari Team Owner Feel Racing too.

This video was filmed at Misano World Circuit, which is going to be the host of the second round of the 2021 WorldSBK Championship, in mid-June. But that would be after the season opener at Aragón at the end of May.

Commenting on this, Stefano Cecconi (CEO Aruba S.p.A. and Team Principal Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) said, “Since 2015, we have officially represented Ducati in the Superbike World Championship, and our results have grown steadily to the second and third place obtained with Scott and Chaz last season. Our goal is to take that final step forward to reach the target we have set ourselves since the beginning of this adventure. After last year’s surprising debut, in 2021, we expect Redding to bring out his full potential. On the other hand, Rinaldi has had a long journey, including winning the Superstock 1000 title. It is a great satisfaction for us to see him in the factory team, and in light of his extremely convincing season with a private team in 2020, we hope he can do even better this year. I want to wish the team and the riders the best of luck for this season which, given the moment we’re experiencing, won’t be easy from a logistical point of view. Finally, my thoughts go out to all the fans: in the first few races, they probably won’t be able to be with us at the track, and we will certainly miss them. However, we’re sure that they will follow us from home, giving us all the warmth and affection that they have always given us over the years”.
