Svakim danom bombardiraju nas marketinškim materijalom 'all new' 'all new' a baš to novo ne vidi se nigdje. Isti benzinski i diesel motori, isti ovjesi, isti mjenjači, jeftina bezidejna unutrašnjost i anemični vanjski dizajn. Sve je to 'deja vu'.

U Hrvatskoj se zadnjih godina nakotilo bezbroj kružnih tokova. Imaju li oni svoju pravu prometnu svrhu ili su sagrađeni iz nekih površno estetsko političkih interesa. Susreo sam se s njima brojnim kojim nisam vidio svrhu a osvrnuo bih se na njih četiri.

Four customer parking spaces at the dealership are equipped with the Porsche charging infrastructure. Two of these spaces feature the new 800-volt charging technology developed by Porsche Engineering Services GmbH as a pioneer of the “Porsche Turbo Charging” concept. At the moment, DC fast-charging stations for electric cars normally operate at a voltage level of around 400 volts. Depending on the charging power in kW, the charging time for a range of 400 kilometres is currently between 40 and 80 minutes. Increasing the voltage level to 800 volts significantly reduces the charging time to less than 20 minutes for the same range.

The Mille Miglia is one of the last great challenges on four wheels that can still be experienced in Europe.

Audi offers various solutions for charging at home, which is where the majority of all charging operations take place: The standard compact charging system enables charging with an output of up to 11 kW. The optional connect charging system doubles the output to 22 kW, to which end the Audi e-tron is equipped with a second, optional charger. The connect charging system also connects with the infrastructure via the home Wi-Fi and, in conjunction with a home energy management system (HEMS), enables intelligent charging functions. “In keeping with our premium quality standards, we want an electric car that fits seamlessly into the intelligently connected home, to provide genuine added value for the customer. That is why we have teamed up with the two leading suppliers of home energy management systems, the Hager Group and SMA Solar Technology. That brings maximum charging convenience,” says Fermin Soneira, Head of Product Marketing at Audi.

The show car also merges influences from the Western and Far Eastern hemispheres to deliver an appealing automotive cultural dialogue.

The same motif is also underlined by the combination of SUV and notchback saloon, which are the most successful body styles not only internationally, but especially on the Chinese market.

Deset automobila u tišini se dokotrljalo kroz ciljnu ravninu i zauzelo pozicije na startu. U iščekivanju zelenog svjetla za početak utrke nije se čula buka motora, nije je bilo ni kada je semafor označio početak utrke, a niti kada je pet bolida jurnulo po stazi u smjeru kazaljke na satu dok je drugih pet krenulo u suprotnom smjeru. Električni pogon potjerao je bolide do brzine od 320 km/h i prije nego što su došli do vrlo uskog zavoja na polovini staze i našli se oči u oči s bolidima koji voze u suprotnom smjeru.
