“(Reuters) - General Motors Co said on Thursday that Mark Reuss would succeed Dan Ammann as president, effective immediately, as part of the automaker's ongoing shift to electric and self-driving vehicles in North America and China.  Reuss remains focused on rebuilding the Cadillac brand and streamlining GM's product development operations, while doubling the resources, mainly engineering hours, allocated to electric and self-driving vehicle programs in the next two years, the company reiterated.

Today, a new harmonised set of fuel labels will appear across Europe. They will give drivers better information on the suitability of fuels for their vehicles wherever they travel in the EU, helping them avoid misfuelling and informing on the environmental impact of their choice. Alternative fuels can help reduce Europe's air quality problems, much of which are caused by transport emissions. However, the growing diversity of fuels available on the European market means that drivers, businesses and fuel station operators need clearer information on fuels sold at filling stations From now on, when customers arrive at a public filling station of any Member State, they will notice new EU-wide harmonized fuel symbols on fuel dispensers and fuel nozzles. The same harmonised, easy-to-read, clear and simple labels will also be compulsory for newly produced vehicles and will be shown on the fuel-filler caps. These new labels do not replace existing names and brands of fuels, nor qual

FAC Announcement July 21, 2018, London - With reference to the health of Sergio Marchionne, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. communicates with profound sorrow that during the course of this week unexpected complications arose while Mr. Marchionne was recovering from surgery and that these have worsened significantly in recent hours.

Wondering why? You're not alone. One thing is for sure. This is not a simple high-speed testing. On one hand the "entry-level/stock" Chiron is electronically limited to 261 mph (420 kph), however Andy Wallace, the official test-driver of Bugatti, told that this top speed is only because of the current tires. And we all know this speed is not exactly something we would call user-friendly . Even 400 kph might be dangerous . But more than 280 mph (450 kph) is achievable with this car. Even 300 mph. On the second hand the Nurburgring is not the right track for chasing high-speed aspirations. Don't forget that just recently Bugatti has presented the Chiron Sport in Geneva . So this can only mean that a new Bugatti is in the pipeline. Might not even be a Chiron... And there is always the Winklemann -factor. Remember all those limited edition Lamborghinis? Something is telling us that the president of Bugatti is planning a surprise. We wouldn't go as far as Galibier

Porsche AG has invested in the technology and electric sports car company Rimac Automobili by taking a minority shareholding of ten per cent. The company develops and produces electric vehicle components and manufactures electric super sports cars. As part of its electrification efforts, Porsche is seeking a development partnership with the young company. In 2009, founder Mate Rimac (30) began working from his garage on his vision of producing electric sports cars that could both be fast and offer excitement. Rimac recently presented the latest version of its electric hypercar, the “C Two”, at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2018. The two-seater produces around 2,000 hp and reaches a top speed of 412 kilometres per hour. It has a range of 650 kilometres (NEDC Cycle), and achieves an 80% battery charge in 30 minutes through a 250 kW fast charging system. Furthermore, the company engineers and manufactures high-performance electric vehicle powertrain systems and battery systems.

It was exactly 70 years ago when the first Porsche road car, a typ 356 rolled out from the Gmünd factory. Many things have changed since then. One has not. Porsche still believes in the Fahren in seinem schönsten Form slogan. Driven in its best shape.
