Furion M1 - hybrid motorcycle - performance and fuel consumption

Image
The problem with hybrid vehicles is that two engines take up a lot of space, and because of this the French from Furion opted for a Wankel engine, which produces 125 horsepower and 105Nm of torque. Also with which they plan to put to work an electric motor capable of another 55 horsepower and 100 Nm. A simple estimate indicates a superbike power, 180 hp along with a torque of 205 Nm, which would make a KTM 1290 Super Duke R, a reference in this chapter, envious. This is because Super Duke R offers only 144 Nm. Fortunately or unfortunately, Furion is just a start-up in the crowdfunding phase - what does that sound like, and I can't help it, but it has done enough to hope for something concrete. This is also because, despite its performance, the Furion M1  hybrid motorcycle  will consume around four litres of petrol and since the M1 can be operated exclusively in electric mode, the French are talking about 480 kilometres in urban areas! Otherwise, the motorcycle is quite common,...

The new Toyota GR 86 sports car

Image
 At a joint online event organized by Toyota Gazoo Racing and Subaru Corporation , Toyota presented the new, currently not yet orderable and not yet homologated Toyota GR 86 for the first time. Alongside the Toyota GR Supra and the Toyota GR Yaris, it is the third model in the Toyota GR range. The no longer available Toyota GT86, of which more than 200,000 units have been sold worldwide, will get a successor. Toyota expects the new Toyota GR 86 to be the lightest four-seater coupe in its class . The reason for this is weight savings such as the use of aluminum for the roof and body parts. The torsional stiffness increased by around 40 percent ensures more dynamic handling and steering properties. Aerodynamic elements such as the front air ducts and the side skirts also help the Toyota GR 86 achieve top values ​​in handling and stability. The dimensions of the new Toyota GR 86 , however, remain largely identical to the Toyota GT86 . The new Toyota GR 86 will be launched in Europe so...

XEV begins serial manufacturing of its YoYo electric car

Image
  The IAA was once the stage for major Italian brands, at whose stands fans and customers flocked to be amazed: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, and Fiat will be absent from the IAA Mobility in 2021. But another Italian holds the position. With the Yoyo, the young company has developed an electric city vehicle that is built in China. A steel frame serves as the basic structure around which the body is then assembled with parts from the 3D printer. With a length of 2.53 meters, the two-seater XEV Yoyo picks up on the original idea of ​​the Smart, and as "half a car," is, therefore, primarily at home in narrow city traffic. The Yoyo, which weighs only 450 kilograms without batteries, is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum output of 15 kW (20 hp). The continuous output is given as 7.5 kW (10 HP). That should be enough to accelerate the Yoyo up to 75 km / h.
