Meet the 1,250bhp hybrid Corvette that's coming to the UK with right-hand drive

1 week ago | carmagazine.co.uk | Alan Taylor-Jones

► Chevrolet goes hypercar baiting► 1250bhp, sub-2.0 second 0-62mph time► Oh, and it’s a hybridNot content with chasing European sports and supercars, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is going after the hypercar elite. Not content with offering over 1,000bhp in the twin-turbo ZR1, the ZR1X adds the hybrid system from the E-Ray for some truly bonkers numbers. How does 1,250bhp of total system output, nearly 1,000Ib ft of torque and a sub-2.0 second 0-62mph sound?

2 weeks ago | carmagazine.co.uk | Alan Taylor-Jones

► A4 replacement goes PHEV► 295bhp, 67-mile e-range► 8% BIK matches BMW 330eA plug-in hybrid powertrain was always conspicuously absent from the A4, something the Audi A5 e-hybrid looks to fix.

Its powertrain looks similar on paper to that found in the old Q5 and A6 TFSIe, albeit with a significant increase in battery capacity that gives the headline 67-mile EV range.

3 weeks ago | carmagazine.co.uk | Jake Groves

► CAR magazine’s final report on life with a BYD Seal► We’ve lived with two different versions► Read month 5 hereAt the start of this six-month test of a BYD Seal, I had said the mission was to find out if our initial positivity about it was more than skin deep. I kept an open mind, having had mixed experiences of BYD before. The Dolphin hatchback felt like it was only competitive in certain versions, and the Seal U DM-i plug-in hybrid I road tested felt extremely soggy and bland.

4 weeks ago | carmagazine.co.uk | Luke Wilkinson

►Alpine CEO confirms plans for an SF90 rival►F1-derived V6 engines, dual electric motors…►… just not where you’d expect them to beIt seems Alpine has gone quite mad. The brand is charging into its electrification strategy with cars like the A290 hot hatchback, A390 SUV and the upcoming electric replacement for the A110 sports car – but the company’s CEO, Phillipe Krief, still thinks there’s room for a petrol-powered supercar at the top of the range.
