AutoMotions

A new addition to the QASHQAI line-up is the N-DESIGN grade, available exclusively with Nissan’s innovative e-POWER powertrain. On the exterior, the lower body portion below the doors and the wheel arches are now body-coloured, while new 20"""" alloy wheels, gloss-black mirror covers and black roof rails all deliver added on-road presence. Elsewhere across the range, the front grille of the QASHQAI has been updated to create a more striking first impression. It now consists of dozens of high gloss, three-dimensional comma-shaped elements painted in high gloss black paint which appear to float in the space between the lip of the bonnet and the numberplate holder. To the sides, the "commas" are finished in a "satin chrome" hot foil stamp on select grades. New headlights bring a sense of purpose and presence, and an even sharper look. Below the main lens the daytime running lights consist of five small lenses which are the same shape as the "commas" of the main grille. The daytime running lights now encircle the main headlight lens, joining with the thin light above the headlight which is similar to the unit on the previous iteration of QASHQAI. The upper daytime running light element becomes the turn indicator when activated and features sequential turning lights front and rear (according to the grade). At the rear, the red lighting elements now consist of four individual elements which echo the shape of the front grille """"commas"""". They appear to float in the lens housing and are now a distinctive shade of red, known as """"super red"""", and bring a sense of elevated precision. The lenses are now clear, to allow a better view of the lighting elements. Impressive 17-inch alloy wheels appear on the ST grade, while the QASHQAI ST-L features 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. For the Ti, there are 19-inch alloys, while the Ti-L and new N-DESIGN feature new 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheel designs. Three new colours have been added to the QASHQAI's palette. Pearl White replaces the previous white option and features a cleaner, pure tint that appears to give a glow in certain lighting conditions. Black Onyx replaces the previous black option, has a richer black tint and has the effect of sharpening the definition of the QASHQAI's visual geometry. Deep Ocean is a new eye-catching shade. It appears to sit somewhere between dark blue and metallic teal depending on the prevailing light conditions.

This evening’s grand F1 75 launch event at London’s O2 Arena can be seen as the start of the 2025 Formula 1 season and Scuderia Ferrari HP presented the new car’s livery, watched by CEO Benedetto Vigna, Team Principal, Fred Vasseur and the drivers, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, as well representatives of the team’s partners. Tomorrow, the SF-25 is due to make its track debut behind closed doors at Fiorano, running up to 200 kilometres in its first shakedown, shortly before heading to Bahrain for the one and only pre-season test session, from 26 to 28 February. The car’s name, the SF-25 follows the pattern of the past two years and underlines the stability of the regulations. It is the 71st Formula 1 car built by Ferrari, the fourth of the second generation of ground effect cars introduced in 2022. However, it is a completely new car, utilising different technical solutions to those adopted in the past. The most visible change initiated by the Loic Serra-led team is without a doubt that made to the front suspension that switches from a pushrod to a pull rod design. The thinking behind this change in architecture was to clean up the airflow around the car, while also giving greater scope for further aero development, which had pretty much been exhausted with the previous iteration. The car is an evolution from every aspect when compared to last year’s, which provided a good starting point. It was designed with the aim of maximising the development potential of the car, in a season when, thanks to the long stability of the regulations now in their final year, one can expect the field to be extremely evenly matched with just thousandths of a second in lap time making the difference.

A hundred per cent volunteer run Blood Bikes charity that travels over 375,000 miles a year and undertakes 7,000 urgent medical deliveries for NHS hospitals in Staffordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire is supplementing its motorbike fleet with four Dacia Jogger cars. Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire Blood Bikes (SSCBB) was set up in 2014 to provide free of charge urgent transport of blood, blood products and other medical items, including donated breast milk across the three counties and beyond. SSCBB has invested in four Dacia Joggers to supplement its fleet of 18 motorcycles and support its vital operation. The cars are used to guarantee urgent deliveries when poor weather conditions make riding a motorbike too risky, and also to transport larger items or for longer distance deliveries. The cars also help to promote the important work the charity does by taking volunteers and equipment to fundraising events. The Joggers have already clocked up over 20,000 miles in their first month with the charity due to icy conditions. The Jogger was shortlisted and chosen in preference to small vans that the charity initially trialled as they felt it was more practical, provided the best value for money and could be relied upon.

Hispano Suiza inaugurates the ‘Hispano Suiza Design & Innovation Centre’, its own space within the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya (Montmeló, Barcelona). This will be the new permanent base for Hispano Suiza track operations and an incomparable meeting point for clients, partners and collaborators of the company, where luxury and maximum performance come together to guarantee a unique experience in the world. The Hispano Suiza Design & Innovation Centre is the first box permanently occupied by a manufacturer at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. This initiative has been launched with the aim of involving clients in the process of creating their vehicle, offering them maximum comfort on a high-competition circuit. The space, created by joining two boxes, has been divided into two areas: an operational one, where mechanics and engineers will work on the supercar, and another where guests can immerse themselves in the world of Hispano Suiza. The vehicle will be located on the left side of the garage, surrounded by elegant panels with screens where you can read the phrase “The pleasure of belonging to the unique”, which defines the philosophy of the brand. In this part, the company's technicians will prepare the Hispano Suiza to begin activity on the track and complete the validation work, which constitutes the last phase of the creation of the vehicle before its delivery to the customer. On the other side of the garage, guests will find a space where they can understand the manufacturing process of a hypercar with the company's technicians, as well as relax or learn about the history of the manufacturer through a photographic exhibition, without losing sight of the other part of the garage, linked by an open space to the place where the vehicle is located.
