Ahead of its debut, the latest Lamborghini figure is leaked little by little

According to Lamborghini, the Aventador figure is its mainstay model that carries the company characteristics and is very identical to the figure of a mid-engine V12 hypercar. Today the hypercar has reached a mature ages, but the successor wouldn't launch yet in the near future.
Is this the figure of 'LB48H' coded hypercar which not have the name yet? Rumours said, it to be given a name Lamborghini Sián. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2krGHUD)
This is contrary to what is widely circulated in cyberspace, that currently the raging bull logoed premium car company is preparing a new hypercar. After some time ago, the company showing a teaser image through its official Tweeter account. And on last August, the company also giving a new teaser video through its official Instagram account.
Furthermore, the new hypercar figure is increasingly revealed little by little, after it leaked at Lamborghini Unica, a smartphone application specifically dedicated to the Lamborghini owners. According to rumors, this car will be named Lamborghini Sián. If this name is correct, sounds a little less fierce right? But because Lamborghini usually takes the bull name, maybe Sián is the name of one of the special bulls. Who knows?
For you, the purist Lamborghini fans, even if the Sián is not a bull's name, you should no need to feel disappointed. Because indeed Lamborghini does not always use the bull name for its products. For example, you might be remember to the Lamborghini Miura, Countach, Diablo and Murcielago.

However, what is familiar with the figure of Lamborghini Sián is its design style, which seems so clearly inspired by the Lamborghini Terzo Millenio concept car. Then the details of Lamborghini Sián include the door design which also flows the air into the side air vents which are somewhat square in shape.
The ventilation is sharp, looks like the one in Centenario. Similarly, the air fins behind the upright and sharp. Then the Aventador and Huracan taillights which have the shape of the letter "Y" are replaced with new hexagon-shaped lights, which are commonly found in a modern Lamborghini.

As reported from The Drive that the Lamborghini Sián engine still uses a 6,500 cc V12 engine based of the Aventador, that means at least 770 PS of power and 720 Nm of torque has been obtained. It seems that no turbocharged devices will be installed on it, but this car is said to be using a hybrid system that can provide extra power of 30 PS from the electric motors. Looking at the number 30 PS is very small for a Lamborghini indeed. But if that's true, then the power combination can reach 800 PS.
Does not stop here, its sensation then continues. These LB48H coded hypercar which not have the name yet reportedly built in limited number, ie 63 units only, and sold with prices ranging from US. $2.5 million (approx £2 million/€2.2 million) or around Rp.35.6 billion. But, there's a bad news for You who would interested to have this hypercar… Now, all of them have already been sold out.
Now, by the many teaser images, video coming out and all-about from the Italian marque, reports of the hybrid hypercar aren't far-fetched at this point, but who knows? And now, let's wait until its launching time is come in Frankfurt starting on September 12, 2019. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTOR1 | THE DRIVE]

Have you ever heard of Karma Automotive, maybe that name feels foreign to the ear. Yes we also agreed about that. Karma Automotive  is an electric car startup company from China. They are currently trying hard to be able to compete with the competitors in the global automotive market such as Tesla Motors and other well-known car manufacturer companies.

For such reason, some time ago, the company reportedly being prepared the North American debut for its pure electric vehicle called the Karma SC1 Vision Concept to show at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2019. The company is said that the SC1 Vision Concept carries a variety of future technologies that are not just artistic designs, detailed elements and pure electric power platforms, which are the direction of Karma's goal in presenting its future vehicles.

Previously, the SC1 Vision Concept along with another two hybrid vehicle of the same company, ie. the 2020 Karma Revero GT and Karma Pininfarina GT have been launched at 2019 Shanghai Auto Show in April 2019. 

"This SC1 is a sign of the future of Karma," said Karma Automotive CEO Dr. Lance Zhou. "Designed and engineered in less than 12 months, the SC1 is a purely electric vehicle that explores innovative design and technology that enables the Open Platform collaboration strategy."

Also believed the SC1 Vision Concept has been integrated with 5G connection infotainment architecture and communication systems with touch, sound, eye and graphical interface. Then the sophisticated Artificial Intelligent technology is also reportedly implanted in this car to be able to understand commands and languages, while the camera-based system of eye monitoring allows biometric identification, allowing for vehicle ownership. 

There is another eye monitoring system that will monitor the driver's iris, eyebrows and facial features to monitor the driver whether he is getting bored and tired, and then AI will take over control of the vehicle.

Tushek being prepared a lightweight, high-performance hybrid car

Salon Privé is the world-class exotic car gathering event held at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. On this year, the 14th edition of events which held in the next September, reportedly will featured the latest hypercar from Tushek, an automotive company from Slovenia.

This company look like to appear silently then suddenly presents a new high performance hybrid vehicle in the hypercar segment with the name of Tushek TS 900 H APEX. If you remember, this car actually has also been shown in the famous world's automotive expo since last year, such as in the Monaco Top Marques 2018.

As we all knew, the Slovenian automotive company previously launched the Tushek Renovatio T500 at the same event back in 2012. The car had a very sharp appearance, but after that there was no news anymore.

And it looks Tushek has become the latest automotive company that promises extreme engine performance but should swallow bitter pill in the world's premium car market.

The company was founded by Aljosa Tushek who is also a former racer and of course has a very good knowledge of racing cars. This year, Tushek backs to the surface by launching a high-performance hybrid car that on paper looks very good and is quite promising. This hypercar is powered by a pair of electric motors mounted on both front wheels and a 4.2 liter, V8 engine mounted at the rear.

It look like wanting to compete with the appearance of another hypercars, the Tushek TS 900 H APEX is seen cool by using a pair of scissor-type doors. And to get more driving sensation, its roof can be opened so that the driver and passenger can enjoy the gusts of wind on each strand of their hair and also the roaring sounded of the exhausts and its V8-engine.
Interior view of Tushek TS 900 H APEX. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2wH44vk)
The company claims that the Tushek TS 900 H APEX is the result of four years of research and testing of various the driving dynamics and technologies to produce the cars that can be 'connected' to the driver and passanger through a variety of the latest innovation systems on its cabin.

As reported by Carscoops, with only two electric motors, and also additional compressors, the car's peak power output is at 937 horsepower and 1,400 Nm of torque! Indeed, those performance figures have not been able to place the TS 900 H APEX as the most powerful hypercar but worth noting the car has a light weight of around 1,410 kg. This is not surprising, thanks to the chromium applied on spaceframes and carbon fiber on the body. This is very impressive for a high performance hybrid vehicle with such specifications.

The power generated by the car's hybrid system is then combined with a 6 speed sequential transmission system so that it can run up to the top speed of 379 kph. Tushek also claims the car's acceleration ability from 0 to 100 kph can be done in just 2.5 seconds, and also can travel approximately 49.1 km by using its electric power only!!

With the capability to produce high performance so the need of great performance component supports such as tires and brakes also becomes very crucial on this car. And on the Tushek TS 900 H APEX is seen using Pirelli Trofeo Series R tires with dimensions 235/35 in front and 305/30 behind. This hypercar also uses Brembo's disc brakes and large sized calipers which are installed on each its wheels.
Not much technical informations were given, as well as the price, and the car's amount to be offered are still not officially disclosed by this company. However, for sure is more and more independent companies or auto manufacturers are able to develop such cars and seems like the games will never ends! Nobody knows. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARSCOOPS | SUPERCARS]
