Hyundai i20 (2014): first <b>pictures</b> of grown-up new <b>...</b> - <b>Car</b> Magazine

Here is the new 2014 Hyundai i20 supermini, unveiled this morning ahead of a Paris motor show debut in October.

Designed in Europe and built in Turkey, this is a Europe-focused supermini and benefits from a new, pumped-up platform designed to close the gap between the i20 and class leaders such as the Ford Fiesta and VW Polo.

Hyundai is claiming one of the most spacious cabins in the B-segment, thanks to a wheelbase stretched by 45mm â€" a couple of inches longer than before. The distance between the two axles is now 2750mm.

Result? The ‘passenger compartment can comfortably seat five adults,’ claims Hyundai. ‘Combined front and rear legroom is best in class at 1892 mm. Trunk capacity is also segment-leading: 326 litres when the rear seats are upright.’

Sounds roomy to us. A Polo can pack only 280 litres in its loadbay…

Hyundai i20 (2014): more specs, details

A panoramic sunroof is a class first in the supermini segment, claims Hyundai. It reflects lashings of gadgets and larger-car features available on the i20, including front and rear LED lights and a rear-view camera. Although we have to despair if supermini owners can’t reverse safely without a TV screen to assist…

Hyundai cites its new design language, dubbed Fluidic Sculpture 2.0, as the inspiration for the i20’s inoffensive, quietly smart looks. Now that former Kia design chief Peter Schreyer is leading Hyundai’s wardrobe department, we’re seeing signs of a more confident stylistic palette, we’d say.

The new car was designed in the Koreans’ styling studio in Russelsheim, Germany. Particularly noteworthy is the gloss black C-pillar, which wraps around the rear of the car like a Mini’s â€" to help create the impression of a floating roof.

Why the new Hyundai i20 is a giant baby

At 4035mm long, the new Hyundai i20 bursts through the four metre barrier â€" once the threshold beyond which no supermini could pass. It’s 66mm longer than a Fiesta, for goodness’ sake.

This growth spurt helps explain why the newest Hyundai i20 is claimed to be so roomy. It also puts more clear water between it and the i10 city car, traditionally Hyundai’s biggest selling car in the UK.

Renovo Coupe electric sports <b>car pictures</b> | Digital Trends

Even if their carbon-spewing powertrains don't agree with your sensibilities, there is still plenty about old cars to enjoy. The styling, for example.

Silicon Valley-based Renovo Motors may have created the perfect compromise between classic styling and modern technology.

Debuting at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the Renovo Coupe is basically a Shelby Daytona Coupe replica with an electric powertrain, something sure to please gearheads and hippies alike.

Over 50 years after it first hit the track, the Daytona Coupe still looks amazing, and that's really all that needs to be said about this timeless design.

Underneath the 1960s-style skin are a pair of Sequential Axial Flux Electric Motors, which get power from a Renovo-designed 740-volt lithium-ion battery pack. Over 500 horsepower and a staggering 1,000 pound-feet of torque are sent to the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission.

Since this is an electric car, all of that torque is available instantaneously. That's bad for tires, but good if you need to tow a B-52.

It's also enough to jolt the 3,250-pound Renovo Coupe from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and on to a top speed of 120 mph.

Renovo says a full charger from a 240-volt Level 2 source will take about five hours, but there's also a DC fast-charging option that takes just 30 minutes. Based on how other fast-charging setups work, that's probably for an 80-percent charge, as a rapid full charge can damage the battery pack.

Deliveries are supposed to begin in 2015, but Renovo didn't release any pricing information. "A lot" is probably a good guess, but the Renovo Coupe will probably still cost less than an original Shelby Daytona Coupe.

Retired Rod: A <b>car</b> museum (<b>Pictures</b>) in a town up by the Nebraska <b>...</b>

We rode to Wetmore, Kansas.. It was 114 miles from my home here in Olathe/Overland Park..   This is North of Topeka on the road that goes to Omaha..... The cafe wasn't anything really special..  I had a small biscuit and gravy with a side of sausage...

We left KC at 7:30 and went thru the rush hour traffic to get out of town...  But the main attraction in Wetmore is the car museum..   It looks like a Chrysler dealer outside but it turns out that's just a historic sign... They had all kinds of cars...

This is in the wrong order, but this is the city hall with the post office next door...

I don't know all of the years, but this is a Cadillac..



1957 T Bird

1957 hardtop convertible Ford

1946 Chevy Pickup...  IF they would have sold it to me I would bring this one home....


Early 50s Chevy pickup

Willys Overland Jeepster  about 1950

Nash   "Hey buddy how do you get this thing out of second gear...? Beep beep!"


Pegasus gas pump..... Those are worth a fortune these days...

My riding partner Al in his orange safety shirt...


The owner purchased a historical gas station next door and it is part of the display...  The car is an Oldsmobile from the late 30s

Oldsmobile had the V 8 Rocket motors before any other GM product.... Note the overhead valve engine.... Fords were still all flat heads..

Mustang...  I wonder what he had to pay for this little jem...


Inside the old gas station...

This was down in the basement of the car dealership museum...  He found it in a barn somewhere in Kansas...  It hasn't been restored yet... just washed up some....  Oldsmobile about 1968 or 69 2 door hardtop... Note no post...

It was well into the 90s when we left town about 11 AM...  We rode back to Atcheson for about an hour and a half but got quite hot by then.... Stopped at a McDonalds......  For about an hour... to cool off.

The next jaunt was down to Platte City just North of the KCI airport....   Again we were dying from the heat and stopped at another McDonalds for more ice water... And this time an ice cream cone...

The last jaunt was back home on I 435 at 75 mph...  By then it was 97 degrees and the wind felt like dragon breath....  It was almost 5 PM when I got back...  But Biscuit was over at Ben's house in the A/C so she never missed me a bit!
