All photos at the source….

 

Apple, BMW, Canon, Coke, Toyota, Ford and many other companies… all of them are today at the forefront of their industry. Their beginning, however, was more than… humble! For example, the first Coca Cola product was nothing like the well-known soft drink, as it was more like cough syrup, while Apple's first computer looked more like a typewriter. Toyota on the other hand the first product it released was… sewing machine. The gallery below is like a trip back in time and these were the first products they released 15 companies before they became the giants of today!

The Jeep of the future

Go to source.

Independent designer envisions and shows us what could be the future Jeep off-road vehicle that will be released in 2035.

 

It is difficult to predict how the scene will be in the field of motoring in 20 years from today. However, independent designer Nak Joong is attempting a first approximation of what the Jeep off-road vehicle we could see on the roads will look like. 2035.

 

As you can see in the related photos, our digital drawings show an impressive body with big wheels, increased ground clearance & many glass surfaces. also, at the front, the vehicle retains the characteristic new mask of the company, while the LED lights also attract positive comments.

 

Although we don't know what will be the fate of this particular indie designer's digital designs, surely the end result should be taken seriously by Jeep.

On a lightning trip, we traveled to sunny (!), hot (!!) Germany to drive another member of the Series family 5.

Which member is certainly the joy of the family and the head of the family. In the look we first saw on the sedan, his BMW Touring 2017 reduced weight compared to the past, put in new engines, new suspension in a new sporty frame, all wrapped up in top aerodynamic care. The car is 36mm longer and has a wheelbase of just 7mm.

And five-door Yaris 210 horses!

More articles at source.

 

It seems that Toyota has had a change of heart, as the Yaris GRMN unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show was supposed to come with an exclusive three-door body, apparently this is no longer the case since there will also be a 5-door version.

The decision made a lot of sense, since the main competitors, Ford Fiesta ST and Volkswagen Polo GTI are available in three- and five-door versions, while the Renault Clio RS is finally a five-door.

 

Another change we can notice is at the rear where the prototype has the exhaust on the right side, while the three-door hot Yaris comes with an exhaust system mounted in the center of the bumper. Maybe that's what happened, in order to differentiate the style of the two bodies.

 

However, under the wraps will be the same turbocharged petrol engine 1,8 liters that it will probably produce 210 horsepower to the front wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. Toyota promises that the Yaris GRMN will be the fastest model in its class when it comes to 0-100 km/h.

After dieselgate: Which diesels really pollute;

Last year, immediately after the Frankfurt exhibition, the Volkswagen Group was at the center of the scandal, of the so-called Dieselgate. In cars that were circulating in the USA and had diesel engines of pre-Euro technology 6, software was found that recognized the vehicle was receiving an emissions test and automatically dropped the emissions. But what about today; How dangerous new diesel engines are to public health;

“General” Diesegade

Transport's survey results & Environment (T&E), umbrella organization of European non-governmental organizations, are surprising. They show that the Euro 6 Volkswagen diesels are the cleanest in the automotive industry right now!The T&E analyzed data from emissions tests of approx 230 cars with a diesel engine. Emissions prices are from M governments. Britain, France and Germany but also a large public database.

The tests were done on the road under realistic driving conditions and not on some laboratory bench. What did the tests show; That all diesels exceed the permissible levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx), high emissions of which are responsible for serious diseases, such as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema (lung disease).
