An unknown person (racer, driver) in the Czech Republic arranged a racing car to be driven on a regular highway between Pribram and Dobčić about 50 km south of Prague. The police were unable to arrest the offender at the scene and are currently searching for him.

A similar incident happened in the Czech Republic three years ago. The car then drives along the D4 highway. The suspect was identified as an ex-policeman, but the driver was wearing a helmet and the records could not accurately identify him, resulting in the officer escaping punishment.

It is possible that it will be so this time.
Finding such a racing car is not easy and only a certain circle of people have access to it, even for an old car.

Lamborghini recently decided to demonstrate the power of a new variant of the Urus SUV in all of its awe at the Pikes Peak international hill climb.

Lamborghini recently decided to demonstrate the power of a new variant of the Urus SUV in all of its awe at the Pikes Peak international hill climb.

The camouflaged Urusu finished the 20 km long course complete with 156 turns in just 10:49.902. This is 17 seconds quicker than the Bentley Bentayga which was the official record holder for the climb in the ‘Production-spec SUV’ category.

The Urus which broke the Pikes Peak record, was equipped with the standard twin-turbo V8 engine. The body was modified to comply with the Pikes Peak safety regulations. It featured a roll cage, racing seats with a 6-point harness, and a fire extinguisher. Semi slicks Pirelli P ZERO TROFEO RS were fitted to the car. The tires were specifically developed for the first time for an SUV.

Pirelli’s test driver and hill climb champion Simone Faggioli was behind the wheels of the new Urus variant to achieve this record. Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer Rouven Mohr, while commenting on the achievement, said:

“The decision to test ourselves at Pikes Peak reflects the Lamborghini spirit of ‘expect the unexpected’ and demonstrates the outstanding performance of the new Urus model to be presented shortly.”

Lamborghini has confirmed that it will launch two variants of the Urus this August. Whether one of those upcoming two models achieved this feat is yet to be confirmed. The new variant will reportedly feature the same 4.0L V8 engine, but with higher power output as well as design modifications that would include vents on the front hood and rear fenders.

Battery-electric car sales still increase, despite the overall market being down.

Battery-electric car sales still increase, despite the overall market being down.

Passenger car sales in the Netherlands continue to decrease. In July, the number of new registrations decreased by 18% year-over-year.

It seems that only all-electric cars are still able to maintain some positive results, as plug-in hybrids are also in the red.

According to EV Volumes' data, shared by Jose Pontes, last month 6,766 new plug-ins were registered, which is roughly 1% more than a year ago. The tiny increase is a result of two trends - expanding BEVs (up by 13% year-over-year) and shrinking PHEVs (down 19%).

Overall, plug-in cars accounted for some 31% of the market (including 22% for BEVs).

New plug-in car registrations:

BEVs: 4,759 and 22% share
PHEVs: 2,007 and 9% share
Total: 6,766 and 31% share

So far this year, over 55,000 plug-in electric cars were registered in the Netherlands, which is 31% of the market.

New plug-in car registrations year-to-date:

BEVs: about *35,500 and 20% share
PHEVs: about *19,500 and 11% share
Total: 55,023 and 31% share
* estimated from the market share

Model rank
In terms of models, the top electric model (and #7 overall) in July was the Skoda Enyaq iV with 539 registrations, which enabled the MEB-based model to strengthen its top year-to-date rank with a total result of 3,249 units and relatively substantial lead.

The next two electric cars last month were the Kia EV6 (366) and Citroën e-C4 (312). Interestingly, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 also noted a relatively strong result (262).

Peugeot e-2008 - 189
Volvo XC40 BEV - 187
Audi e-tron - 186
