New Mini, Ford and Ferrari cars

New developments related to cars from Mini Cooper, Ford, and Ferrari have come to the fore, details of which can be found in this report.

A new Mini will hit the market in May 2024

Mini unveiled the electric John Cooper Works Countryman earlier this year, but the JCW model still has an internal combustion engine.

The third generation model has greater horsepower than the previous hatchback model and a completely new design that emphasizes its larger footprint. It is a generation that is expected to be announced in May 2024, according to “Motor 1.”

Under the front hood is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and the brand’s ALL4 all-wheel drive system that produces 312 horsepower.

The car can reach 100 kilometers per hour in 5.4 seconds, and is on its way to a top speed of 250 kilometers.

A record set by Ford’s electric supercar

Ford entered an electric truck in this year’s Pikes Peak Hill Climb competition, intending to set a record by completing the course in less than 9 minutes in the open category competition.

The current SuperVan 4.0 was the starting point for the updated vehicle, but Ford had to modify the electric vehicle for a long, arduous route.

Therefore, the SuperVan 4.2 is not as powerful as the 4.0, and provides 1,400 horsepower to run with a three-motor setup, while the car has 4 engines that pump out 1,972 horsepower.

On race day, Ford completed the course in 8 minutes, 47.682 seconds, breaking the previous class record of 9 minutes, 24.433 seconds set in 2019.

$47 million, the price of a 1962 Ferrari

The 1962 Ferrari Tipo was the only campaign ever run by the factory racing team, and it could be a relative bargain, of course.

The last auction a few days ago reached a final hammer price of $47 million, well below the original estimate of $60 million for the extremely rare 250 GTO.

With the addition of fees, the final price rises to $51.7 million, a record for a Ferrari sold at any auction.
