2 sports car manufactured by Italian automaker Lamborghini. It was introduced at the Turin Auto Show in 1970 but was not put on sale until 1973; production ended in 1979. It was named after a breed of bulls. When production ceased, 791 Urracos had been built. Twenty-one of these were Urraco P111 (P250 Tipo 111) for the American market. The other Urraco versions were the Urraco P200, Urraco P250 and Urraco P300 with 2 litre, 2.5 litre, and 3 litre V-8 respectively. The Urraco P300 delivered 247 hp at 7,500 rpm. Similar to the Miura, the V8 engine was mid-mounted. The Urraco was born into cloudy times for Lamborghini. The first Lamborghini Urracos delivered were not up to expectations. Workmanship left much to be desired and interior ergonomics were terrible. Federal emissions regulations kept the later 250-hp, 3.0-liter DOHC engine upgrade from landing in America, the Urraco's prime target market. Worse, the Urraco needed 10.1 seconds to reach 60 mph and 17.9 seconds for a quarter-mile, slower than today's Saturn Ion. Weeds grew at dealers and the car's fate was sealed.
Seat have been constantly revising their range these past few weeks, and the latest model to have been updated is the Toledo. Skoda Rapid and, from now on, can only be had with petrol engines in the UK market, according to Autocar. This means that the 1.6-liter TDI units, with 90 PS and 105 PS, have been completely dropped from the family. In the United Kingdom, the Toledo is offered in a choice of two trim levels. Called SE and Xcellence, they are powered by the same turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder unit rated at 110 PS and mated to either a manual or an automatic transmission. The base Toledo starts from 拢 17,330 in the UK, or some 拢 1,600 less than the 5-door Leon hatchback, or approximately 拢 400 more than the entry-level Arona subcompact SUV. In other markets such as Spain and Germany, the Toledo is also powered by a detuned version of the same engine. Available for lesser versions of the car, it pushes out 95 PS and it鈥檚 said to burn 4.7 l/100 km (60.1 mpg UK / 50 mpg US) on average.
When Nissan jump-started the EV market with the launch of its Leaf in 2010, it caused a lot of excitement. The Leaf was, after all, the first mainstream production vehicle that was designed, from the outset, to run on electricity rather than fossil fuels. Almost a decade on, many EVs are still developed from cars conceived to be powered by conventional engines, but one of the more radical clean-sheet designs was the BMW i3, launched with a choice of pure- electric or range-extender powertrains. BMW has since given up on the latter, leaving only the all-electric i3 for new-car buyers - but does a used i3 of either kind make sense? 鈥?BMW i3 Mk1 (2013-date) - Futuristic premium four-seat EV is frugal and good to drive. It鈥檚 not cheap, though. The latter version has a 650cc, motobike-derived, two-cylinder petrol engine, fuelled from a nine-litre tank. This unit only ever acts as a generator to charge the batteries; it never drives the wheels directly. A 94Ah battery pack (33kWh) was fitted from July 2016, then a refreshed i3 was introduced in August 2017 with 181bhp (previously 168bhp), alongside a sportier i3 S option, more hi-tech kit and tweaked styling.
Which one should I buy? While the i3 range extender is more usable than the pure EV, you鈥檒l pay a premium for one. But now that the range extender is no longer available from new, these models are likely to hold their value better than the electric-only versions, because there鈥檚 a demand for them on the used market. Both the i3 EV and REx initially came with only one trim level, and a choice of four finishes: Standard (black/dark grey), Loft (light/mid grey), Lodge (tan/mid-grey) and Suite (dark brown). Standard equipment on all versions included cruise control, 19-inch alloys, heated front seats, climate control, a multifunction steering wheel, DAB radio and navigation. The i3 S offered an extra 13bhp, 20-inch wheels, sport suspension and sportier trim details. Competitors for the i3 include the Nissan Leaf and Renault ZOE in terms of size, but neither of these can match the BMW鈥檚 unique, high-quality feel. A ZOE costs around half as much, so in some ways this actually makes it more impressive. A Volkswagen e-Golf feels like a premium product and is great to drive, but it seems somewhat ordinary, because it wasn鈥檛 designed from the outset as an EV.
