  • Hyundai Teases Electric Concept For The 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show

    Hyundai Teases Electric Concept For The 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show

    We’ve already told you what Hyundai is bringing to the 2019 Frankfurt Motor show but the company has now teased a new model, and from the looks of it, it is another electric vehicle. The company says that this EV will focus on the future direction of the company’s car design and the inspiration from the past while also stepping into the future. The looks of the electric car in question is inspired by the brand’s first model in the 1970s. It’s called the 45 concept and yes, it’s an all-electric model. The company says that the 45 electric car concept will act as a milestone for Hyundai’s future EV design.

    The second electric vehicle will be the company’s first-ever electric racing car, which the carmaker claims will tease the future of motorsport. The new electric race car has been designed and built at the company’s headquarters in Alzenau, Germany by Hyundai Motorsport (HMSG). The company says that the car “will underline the company’s high-performance capabilities, green technology credentials and unwavering passion for motorsport.”

    The car will be unveiled on September 10, 2019 and will bring out the sensous and sporty design language that the company has been bringing in their cars lately. There are no technical details that have been released yet, but from the looks of it we’ll get a digital fascia. In addition to this showcase, Hyundai will debut the next-generation Hyundai Grand i10 (known as just i10 in Europe), and one more electric car.

  • Yamaha MT-03 Unveiled At Bangkok Motor Show

    Yamaha MT-03 Unveiled At Bangkok Motor Show

    Yamaha Motor has pulled the wraps off the 2019 MT-03 street-fighter motorcycle at the Bangkok Motor Show in Thailand. The updated offering is based on the Yamaha YZF-R3 sharing the engine, chassis and several cycle parts but does get changes to match a naked motorcycle’s mannerisms. For 2019, the updated Yamaha MT-03 gets a new white and red paint scheme in addition to the existing colour options available. Visually, styling changes are minimal and the bike carries over the design language from the older model.

    Key styling elements on the 2019 Yamaha MT-03 include the chiselled fuel tank, single headlamp cluster with LED daytime running lights and a semi-digital instrument console. The taillight remains a LED unit, while the sporty split seats have been carried over from the R3. The bike rides on web-design alloy wheels that are finished in contrast colours on the motorcycle.

    Power on the updated Yamaha MT-03 comes from the 321 cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, parallel-twin engine tuned for 41 bhp and 29.6 Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The bike is suspended by telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock unit at the rear. Braking performance comes from disc brakes at either end with dual-channel ABS as standard.

    Although not confirm, odds are that Yamaha Motor India just might bring the MT-03 to India to compete against the KTM 390 Duke, BMW G 310 R and the likes. The full-faired Yamaha R3 is already on sale here and is expected to get a comprehensive upgrade in the second half of 2019 with the Japanese bike maker bringing the comprehensively updated version that was introduced globally last year. With the MT-15 and the MT-09 already on sale in India, the MT-03 will fit well into the company’s naked motorcycle line-up, and its Call of the Blue campaign to bring performance oriented products to India.
