Looking to the future, the Ioniq 5 has been treated for some ongoing upgrades in Europe and the UK that could serve as a guide for what is coming to Australia as the MY23 update.

Hyundai Australia could not confirm whether we would see similar changes to the Australian-spec Ioniq 5 model.

Porsche followed his Mission R concept with a functional electric prototype racer, as it prepares to turn the 718 Cayman and Boxstar into EVs.

The all-wheel drive 718 Cayman GT4 ePerformance packs 735kW of power from its dual-motor powertrain in its most powerful mode, or more sedate (better, comparatively) 450kW in a drive mode designed to allow 30 minutes of flat-out driving. .

The battery pack and electric motor are based on the concept car, which was borrowed from Taycan itself. Beneath the skin, however, it is built on the bones of the 718 Cayman GT4 ClubSport.

“With Mission R, we’ve shown how Porsche envisions sustainable customer motor racing in the future,” said Matthias Schulz, project manager for GT Racing vehicles.

Porsche says a one-make series with these cars – essentially an electric Carrera cup – is on the card and could become a “significant addition” to its current customer racing range.

It’s not just race cars that are going electric; The next Boxstar and Cayman Road cars will also be battery-powered – but Porsche Promising they will share their driving DNA with the current car.

During an exhibition at the 2022 Monaco Historic Grand Prix on Sunday, Ferrari Formula One driver Challeres Leclerc wrecked one of the three-time champion Nicki Lauder Ferrari F1 cars.

Leclerc was in his third lap on the 1973 Ferrari 312B3 when, due to a suspected brake failure, he lost the rear end and supported the vintage F1 car with a wall at the corner of the famous La Rascas.

The 2022 Bahrain and Australian Grand Prix winners resumed their journey with some rear-end losses, but the car stopped again soon after it started emitting smoke. Although it coincides with the end of the parade laps.

When you thought you already got all the bad luck in Monaco and you lost the brakes with one of the most iconic historic Ferrari Formula 1 cars.

– Charles Leclerc (@Charles_Leclarc) May 15, 2022

After Leclerc Said on Twitter That he missed the break to come to La Rascas. This is the second major insult to the Monegasque driver on his home track. Leclerc sets the pole position for the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix before crashing and missing races due to vehicle damage.

Former Ferrari F1 driver and six-time Le Mans winner Jack Icox were driving with Leclerc during demonstration laps. It is noteworthy that Ferrari left the F1 team in the middle of the 1973 season due to his dissatisfaction with the Ickx 312B3.

Ferrari, however, continues to improve the car. With Lauda and Clay Regazoni driving, the 312B3-74 version, introduced for the 1974 season, finished second behind McLaren at the F1 Constructors Championship. The following season, Lauda won the first of its three-driver championships at 312B3-74.

Leclerc recently drove a former Gille Villeneuve Ferrari 312T on the Fiorano test track to mark the 40th anniversary of the death of a Canadian driver. He is also currently leading the F1 driver standings, with a 19-point lead from Max Verstappen. So not everything is bad for Leclerc.
