When defining the electrification strategy, it was clear from the outset that all essential components would be developed in Affalterbach. At the heart of this is the AMG High Performance Battery (HPB) for the upcoming performance hybrid models. Development of the lithium-ion energy storage system began in 2016 and was inspired by technologies that have proven themselves in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team's Formula 1 hybrid racing cars under the toughest conditions. In the course of development, there was a lively exchange of expert knowledge between the High Performance Powertrains (HPP) Formula 1 engine forge in Brixworth and Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach. The specifications were quickly defined: The AMG High Performance Battery combines high power that can be called up frequently in succession with low weight to increase the overall performance of the vehicle. Added to this are the fast energy absorption and the high power density. This means that, on a fast drive, for example in hilly terrain, the full power potential can be called up immediately uphill, while recuperation is strong when driving downhill.
Powerful 2.0 TFSI engine with 228 kW (310 PS) of output and 400 Nm (295.0 lb-ft) of torque,seven-speed S tronic, S-specific sport suspension and quattro all-wheel drive as standard – just some of the features, including the operating concept, infotainment, and assist systems which round off the high-tech character of the S3 models.

The Cupra Ateca is the first vehicle of the new Seat Performance Brand Cupra. In addition to its 300 hp the compact SUV offers four-wheel drive and a 7-speed DSG and comes with a lot of standard equipment. But the real selling point of the Cupra Ateca is clearly the driving pleasure. What the Cupra Ateca delivers and why the compact sports SUV actually has no competitors, my driving report shows.

Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announces that it has developed a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), 6-speed manual transmission, 2.0-liter engine, 2.0-liter hybrid system, and 4WD systems based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), a development framework aimed at making ever-better cars. The new technologies offer both superb driving performance and high environmental performance. The new continuously variable transmission features a launch gear, a world first, to significantly improve transmission efficiency at low speeds when compared to existing CVTs. It realizes both direct and smooth driving response to accelerator application, as well as superior fuel efficiency.
