BMW M3 30 Years American Edition
It has been 30 years since the original E30 M3 model landed in the United States. To celebrate the success of the highschool jock classic, BMW revealed a one-off anniversary edition of the M3.
BMW have given the classic car a modern makeover. Designed with patriotism in mind, the frozen red paint job contains a red, white and blue interior, as well as a 450 hp engine capable of reaching 100 km/h in four seconds.
2018 Jeep Wrangler
Fiat Chrysler used this year’s SEMA Show to unveil the latest model in the Jeep Wrangler line. The car has been voted as SEMA’s “hottest 4×4” car for the eighth consecutive year and they will hope to extend that to nine next year.
Jeep has kept technical details quiet. However, they have promised better off-road performance, reduced fuel consumption and improved safety features. Likewise, there will be over 200 parts and accessories available for buyers to customise their vehicle.
Hyundai HyperEconiq Ioniq
Hyundai revealed the concept for the HyperEconiq Ioniq, a new model based on the IONIQ, the company’s first vehicle available in hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric variants.
Showcased at SEMA Show 2017, Hyundai has redesigned the IONIQ inside and out in order to maximise the car’s fuel efficiency. Packed with the latest hyper-miling, economy, and friction technology this is definitely one for fuel-conscious drivers to keep an eye on.
