Cars to look forward to in 2022
From the freshest electric cars to hottest supercars, here are few of the most awaited launches this year!
Ferrari 296 GTB
The Ferrari V6 plug-in hybrid is the first real V6 road car in their history. The plugin hybrid engine provides a whopping 819 bhp. The 296 GTB is faster and more reactive than every larger V8 car in Ferrari’s lineup. This package also gets you 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds and can hit a top speed of 205mph.
McLaren Artura
McLaren went all-in with the Artura. The skeleton of the car is based on The McLaren Carbon Fibre Lightweight Architecture (MCLA). It also pairs a twin-turbo V6, the company’s first, with a battery-electric powertrain to create a plug-in-hybrid model. The E-Motor’s instant torque enables throttle response that’s twice as fast as their pure petrol cars – seamlessly transitioning to the V6 engine to deliver a torrent of power from a standstill. The car definitely packs a punch as it comes with 710bhp and 720Nm of torque, this makes the car zoom from 0-60mph under three seconds and go to a maximum of 205mph.
Lotus Emira
Lotus bounced back with its supercar lookalike – Emira, for a sports car’s price. It has powertrain choices: a supercharged V6 manual, followed by an AMG-spec four-cylinder turbo. The first edition of the Emira will go on sale with 20-inch ultra-light forged alloy wheels with a premium two-tone finish.
Aston Martin Valkyrie
Rumour has it that 2022 is the year we finally get to see Aston Martin’s road-going F1 car! Its hybrid powertrain consists of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 and an electric motor. A seven-speed automatic transmission directs power to the rear wheels. On its own, the V-12 delivers 1000hp, while the battery-electric system contributes an additional 160hp. Combined, the power sources produce a total output of 1160hp and 663 lb-ft of torque.
Mercedes-AMG ONE
For the first time, Mercedes’ two-seater will bring the latest and most efficient F1 hybrid technology to the street in a nearly one-to-one ratio. The high-performance hybrid will have a top speed of over 350 km/h and produce over 1,000 horsepower.
