The new C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has been in the spotlight since its debut. The track-oriented Corvette from General Motors answers the question of what it would look like if GM made the Ferrari 458 Italia. It is one of the most unique cars the American automaker has ever produced. The Z06 has some serious supercar numbers on its stat sheet.

Its numbers trump many cars that are more expensive than it. When it comes to the road and even more powerful exotic cars, it’s interesting to see if the new Z06 can hold up to the competition.
Luckily the YouTube channel, Speed Phenom, took his 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 cruising and saw how it compared to a true hypercar. The Pagani Huayra BC that it rolls with features 800 horsepower and a barely street-legal design. Read on to see how the Z06 fairs against a much more expensive hypercar.

Out on the highway, the Z06 looks right at home with this lineup of supercars. It cruises behind the Pagani Huayra BC, a performance model named in honor of Benny Caiola, the late friend of the car company’s owner, Horacio Pagani.

With praise like that, the Z06 is starting to move up to the status of a supercar. It certainly has the performance, although only time will tell if the community will accept it as that classification.

It’s not too surprising that the C8 Corvette Z06 continues to impress car enthusiasts since the base C8 Stingray already provides incredible performance that can rival some supercars. With the performance of these models, the latest generation of America’s sports car is more formidable than ever.

BMW is applying for a patent on exterior car freshener

In a new step to enhance the distinction of its brand, the German luxury car manufacturer, BMW, is seeking to use new technology that allows its cars to spread their distinctive scent while they are on the roads.

The German company submitted an application to the German Patent Office to register its invention for a new system that perfumes the exterior of the car by emitting a distinctive fragrance from its blue and white logo at the front of the car’s front hood.

Patent registration application

The American Car Buzz website, which specializes in automotive issues, indicated that the company submitted an application to register the invention, after a previous announcement by BMW about its desire to improve the smell of its cars in its external surroundings, which does not yet exceed the smells of exhausts and unpleasant odors emitted with the air conditioning.

BMW is applying for a patent on exterior car freshenerWhile other car companies, such as the American Ford Motor Company, have applied for patents for systems to eliminate unwanted odors inside cars, BMW is one of the first companies to develop outdoor freshener technology. In 2019, the Japanese company Toyota Motor filed a patent application for similar technology, but it has not submitted anything concrete yet.

It is noteworthy that the application for a patent does not necessarily mean that the idea will become a real invention, and industrial companies often submit requests to register patents for new technologies in order to block the way for competitors to introduce new devices.

Car Buzz said that converting the fragrance release technology from the BMW system from a patent to a real device is still subject to all welcome and farewell scenarios.

Bentley Continental GTC 2023

The Bentley Continental GTC 2023 is the convertible version of the regular Continental GT that belongs to the category of large touring cars and has been produced by the British company since 2003. The car belongs to the third generation, which appeared in 2018, but underwent an update two years ago that included its availability with a new engine. Plus more specifications

 Continental GTC Overview

Styling-wise, it’s very much a Bentley, but it features some styling cues that debuted on this car for the first time. There are still classic round headlights, and the grille is a slightly different shape. The overall profile of the car is much more slender, and when you put it side-by-side with the previous generation, the previous car looks a little bulky. The oval taillights, the simple decklid design, and the polished exhaust tips complement the general look of the Continental GT rather well. The previous two generations were somewhat of an acquired taste, but the latest car is definitely on a different level.

Bentley Continental GTC 2023The interior of the Continental GT really is on another level. The engineers and designers spend a lot of time in here, and it definitely shows. Every surface you can see or feel is of the highest possible quality, and it’s safe to assume that in order to find any cheaper feeling materials, you’d have to quite literally take apart the dashboard. Naturally, Bentley offers a vast selection of upholstery colors, trim colors, and ways to fit them all together. The Continental GT was also the first Bentley model to use the triangular rotating display, which can show you either your chosen wood trim, three analog dials, or the infotainment system.

It may be getting on a little, but the Bentley Continental GT is among the very best in the business when it comes to luxurious grand tourers.

Mechanical specifications

The car available for sale in Saudi Arabia from the Speed version got a W12 engine – a 12-cylinder engine in the shape of the letter W – that generates 626 horsepower and a torque of 900 Newton meters. Four-wheel drive, and the car accelerates from zero to 100 km / h in 3.8 seconds, reaching a top speed of 333 km / h.
There is also a 4.0-liter V8 engine with a turbocharger that generates 542 hp and 770 Nm of torque. In terms of fuel consumption, the car travels 8.5 km with one liter of fuel.

The starting price of the Bentley Continental GTC 2023 is around $210,000. That’s a lot of money, but this is a lot of car.

The Acura Integra Coupe: A Modern-Day

With the lukewarm response from the current 2023 Acura Integra, fans of the iconic 90s JDM car will appreciate this new Acura Integra Coupe render.

 

The Acura Integra first went on sale in 1985 as one of two cars in the model lineup for Honda’s new premium brand. Built off a Civic platform, the Integra offered buyers a premium sports sedan or coupe that was, in the case of the Type R, a proper performance legend and enthusiast favorite.

Sales of even the lesser versions of the Integra were strong, and the car developed a loyal following among young people looking for an upscale ride that was still affordable. But Acura dropped the Integra name altogether and finally the brand moved to a new naming structure (RSX, TSX, RDX, etc.).

After 20+ years, Acura finally brought back the Integra name this year for an all-new sporty premium compact sedan built off the Civic platform once more.

The Acura Integra Coupe Timothy Adry Emmanuel

The all-new Integra is only available as a 5-door hatchback, whereas the original Integra included a 3-door variant as well. With fans expressing their indifferent opinions of the new Integra, HotCars digital artist Timothy Adry Emmanuel has created images of what a 2-door coupe version of the new 4-door Acura Integra sedan might look like.

Like the original Integra, this image has a low grille which also has the shape found on the front of all new Acuras. An Acura badge is at the center of the hood which has a bulge in the center. Round LED headlights are a nod to the round lights on the original Integra.

What did get confirmed though is the Acura Integra Type S for summer 2023, a car which will feature a 300-hp 2-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, a manual 6-speed transmission and an LSD: the same kind of specs as the Honda Civic Type R and a feature list that looks a lot closer to what we might expect from an Integra Type R today; albeit with 4 doors and perhaps less of the 90s car’s agility and dynamics due to its much heavier weight.

The Integra Type R from the late 90s is a legend among front-wheel-drive cars today, a naturally-aspirated 1.8-liter engine made 197 hp – better than some V8s with 3 times the capacity from history – and a light, strengthened chassis helped it reach 60 mph in as little as around 6 seconds.

UAE: Unexpected Rise in Autos Rentals

In recent years, the UAE witnessed an unexpected rise in autos rentals due to many factors. One of the reasons behind this rise is the economical boosts in oil sector, as well as, non-oil sector in the previous decades. This country is about to score the highest record in a rapid economic growth. Clearly, whenever there is an economical growth UAE: Unexpected Rise in Autos Rentals.

Although the UAE in general and RTA in specific aimed to amend and boost autos sectors, there are some obstacles. The lifestyle of a very striking number of residents changed their thinking towards auto use. For instance, instead of using autos for family purposes, they started to rent accordingly. However, the rent over there is not casual. Another change in peoples’ lifestyle is the so called car-pooling. This refers to the fact that people share autos with others when crossing the same destination. However, it is not necessarily to have exactly the same destination. If there is proximity to two place car-pooling is possible.
