Aussies Get 2022 Genesis G70 Shooting Brake With A 2.0L Turbo And A AU$79,000 Starting Price

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.

The G70 Shooting Brake will also only be offered in a single trim level in Australia. Priced from AU$79,000 (US$56,222), it includes key features like Forward Attention Warning, Driver Attention Warning with Leading Vehicle Departure Alert, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist Rear, Smart Cruise Control, Blind-Spot View Monitor, Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist.

As standard, the G70 Shooting Brake comes equipped with the Luxury Package that includes Nappa leather, G Matrix style quilting, a 10.25-inch infotainment display and a 12.3-inch 3D digital instrument cluster. Customers can opt for the Sport Line Styling package for no additional cost that adds 19-inch sport alloy wheels, a sports grille, dark chrome exterior highlights, suede headliner and pillars, and sports pedals.

Other standard features of Australia’s G70 Shooting Brake include a panoramic glass sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, electro-chromatic mirrors, laminated front door glass, and a Qi standard wireless phone charger.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i

VW ID.GAIA Could Be The Perfect Electric Truck, If Only It Existed

Image
A few months ago , we shared a gallery of stunning VW concepts from Sean Keunyoung Oh, a senior design student at the Korea National University of Arts in South Korea. Sean has now come across our radar once again after publishing images of his latest creation, an all-electric pickup truck from VW that could serve as a rival to vehicles like the Ford F-150 Raptor. The concept study is named the ID.GAIA and has been conceived to roll on a skateboard platform and were it ever produced, could borrow its battery pack and electric motors from other EVs produced by VW. From a visual standpoint, Sean’s pickup is quite imposing and has a much more striking and rugged design than the current Amarok. More: Production VW ID.

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Image
Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.
