The Auto World

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport may be one of the fastest and most powerful production cars ever conceived but as Top Gear recently discovered, driving it on a wet Nurburgring is no easy task. Not too long ago, the publication was handed the keys to a Chiron Super Sport and given free rein for a day. They picked it up from Bugatti’s factory in Molsheim, France and immediately crossed into Germany, heading straight for the Autobahn and then on to the Green Hell.

This doesn’t just mean the Chiron Super Sport can pass 270 mph (434 km/h) – and 300 mph (483 km/h) in limited-run Super Sport 300 spec- but it can also cruise along the Autobahn at staggering speeds. While behind the wheel, editor Jack Rix hit a top speed of 211 mph (339 km/h). Before long, the Top Gear crew arri

Lamborghini has released an intriguing teaser video previewing something related to the world of NFTs. This teaser was shared across the automaker’s social media platforms and shows an image of the moon while the soundtrack of what seems to be a Lamborghini Huracan is played in the background.

The car is 4.6 meters (181 inches) long, 1.8 meters (~71 inches) wide, and 1.4 meters (55 inches) tall and this added size results in much more luggage room than the hatch. In fact, it offers 608 liters (21 cubic-feet) of cargo space with the rear seats in use. If the rear seats are folded down, cargo volume increases to 1,634 liters (57.7 cubic-feet). Full powertrain

It might not be available in the U.S., but that doesn’t mean that only European buyers will get to enjoy the Genesis G70 Shooting Brake as the car has also just launched in Australia. Genesis unveiled the G70 Shooting Brake earlier this year and as is the case in overseas markets, the Aussie model will be sold exclusively with the brand’s entry-level 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This powertrain is good for 240 hp (179 kW) and 260 lb-ft (353 Nm) of torque which are sent to the rear wheels thanks to an eight-speed automatic transmission that was developed in-house. Sadly, this means the flagship 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 offered with the G70 sedan is not available.
