The car is very different from the standard version Toyota GR Yaris is equipped with a powerful turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive system. The Dytko Sport company presented its own version of the car, installing the engine and other elements of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X inside. According to Engine Swap Depot, this red Toyota GR Yaris was built for racer Kuba Gregula and features an all-new powertrain based on the Lancer Evolution architecture. [caption id="attachment_85755" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Toyota GR Yaris[/caption] Hot mix: Toyota GR Yaris with Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X introduced Under the hood is a turbocharged 4B11T inline-four engine from the Evolution X, mated to a six-speed sequential transmission built by Drenth. The engine sends power to Drenth differentials on both axles. There's no word on power output, although we can assume this Yaris produces more than the factory 268 hp. Inside there is a full FIA roll cage, OMP racing seats, seat belts, carbon fiber door panels and a fire suppression system. There is also a new gearshift mechanism, a digital instrument screen and a new steering wheel.

Explanation from Tesla Lars Moravi, Tesla's vice president of automotive manufacturing, confirmed to TopGear that the Cybertruck will never make it to Europe. “First of all, the pickup truck market in America is huge, but here it’s different. Secondly, European regulations require rounding of protruding parts by 3.2 millimeters. Unfortunately, it is impossible to make a 3.2 millimeter rounding on a stainless steel plate with a thickness of 1.4 millimeters,” he told Top Gear. Here's why the Tesla Cybertruck won't come to Europe Insideevs also gives other reasons. If the Cybertruck were released, the driver would have to have a category C license, which is intended for vehicles with a gross weight of more than 3.5 tons.

Below the $70,000 threshold Rivian CFO Claire McDonough announced that the Rivian R1S and R1T will have a new battery next year. Rivian plans to release a new battery for R1 vehicles in addition to the new standard battery that will also arrive next year. “Introducing the new battery pack for the R1 vehicles.  [It] saves thousands of dollars by reducing additional weight,” McDonough said. “This is another example of some of the new technologies that will emerge over the next year that will be key to the operational and cost efficiencies that will be enabled by these deployments.” [caption id="attachment_85743" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Rivian cars[/caption] A cheaper and lighter battery will reduce prices for Rivian cars as early as 2024 The new battery will not only be much cheaper to manufacture, but also lighter and easier to assemble than any of Rivian's current battery packs. The new, simplified battery pack could allow Rivian to lower the starting price of its R1 cars below the $70,000 threshold. Claire McDonough also reported that Rivian's assembly lines will shut down for several weeks in the second quarter of 2024 to prepare for the introduction of new R1 batteries and configurations. Interestingly, she mentioned that Rivian will introduce "three battery packs, two different drive units, and a completely new network architecture."

From $32,500 The new 2024 Fiat 500e returns to the US after a short hiatus, with a starting price of $32,500. Like its predecessor, the new 500e has two doors, four seats, retro styling and compact dimensions that allow it to squeeze into the tightest parking space. At the same time, Fiat claims that the updated model is longer and wider than before, which gives more interior space. [caption id="attachment_85737" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Fiat 500e 2024[/caption] Along with the 7-inch driver-facing display, there is a 10.25-inch central touchscreen with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Fiat rates the 500e's range at 240 km and its battery capacity is 42 kWh. Fiat 500e 2024 “sings a song to pedestrians”, notifying of its presence Interestingly, the 500e will be sold with a Level 2 charger that buyers can install in their garage or driveway. When connected to a Level 2 network (faster than a regular socket, but not as fast as public DC fast charging), Fiat says the hatchback can charge the battery in four hours and 15 minutes. At fast charging stations, charging from 0 to 80% will take 35 minutes. The 500e's maximum charging power is 85 kW. [caption id="attachment_85738" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Fiat 500e 2024[/caption] At low speeds, the 500e doesn't just make the typical electric car rumble. The car, as Fiat claims, “sings”: “The Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) “sings” to pedestrians a song called The sound of 500, written by Flavio Ibba-Marco Gualdi. The exclusive melody brings a sense of Italian culture into the first minutes of every journey,” says Fiat.

Mary Barra said the new vehicle "will provide an even better driving, charging and ownership experience than the vehicle we know customers love." First released in late 2016, the Bolt has consistently been popular in the US due to its low price and compact design.
