Isdera Comes Alive With New Commendatore GT Electric Gullwing Coupe


Isdera has unveiled the Commendatore GT ahead of its debut at Auto China.


Looking rather impressive, the model is a sleek gullwing coupe which features an electric powertrain. The company hasn’t said much about the car but we can see it has a distinctive front fascia with a carbon fiber spoiler and LED-infused headlights.


The car also has aerodynamic side skirts, a unique greenhouse and a rounded rear end. Overall, it measures 4920mm (16.1 feet) long, 1950mm (6.4 feet) wide and 1290mm (4.2 feet) tall with a wheelbase that spans 2820mm (9.2 feet).


The cabin is undeniably luxurious as it features two-tone leather seats, carbon fiber trim and metallic accents. The car also has a flat-bottomed steering wheel, a digital instrument cluster and a large infotainment system. Another interesting features is the gear selector which is located on a panel which juts out of the center console.


Motivation is provided by a massive 105 kWh battery pack which feeds two electric motors. This setup gives the all-wheel drive model a combined maximum output of 804 hp (600 kW / 815 PS) and 1060 Nm (781 lb-ft) of torque.


In terms of performance, the 1750 kg (3858 lbs) Commendatore GT can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.7 seconds and 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) in 9.8 seconds. Isdera says the model can hit a top speed of 302 km/h (187 mph) but they limited the car to 250 km/h (155 mph).


Speaking of performance, the Commendatore GT will be able to travel up to 500 km (310 miles) on a single charge according to the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP). When the battery is depleted, drivers can give the model an 80% charge in just 35 minutes.


Production will reportedly be limited to two units and we should find out more about the car later this week.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
