● Starting: AMG ONE quasi-production version
The 2021 Munich Auto Show officially opened a few days ago. At the auto show, Mercedes -AMG showed the real car of its super sports car AMG ONE quasi-production version. Different from before, the exterior painting of the new car has also been specially designed, which is intended to announce the open world racing game "Extreme Racing: Horizon 5" that this car is about to land.
In terms of appearance, the familiar overall shape has been known to everyone since the early prototype of AMG Project ONE. The wide front lip, streamlined body, air inlet and spoiler wing on the roof all indicate that AMG ONE with F1 as the design concept will have a strong aerodynamic effect, which is also the source of the performance of the car.
As a prototype close to the production version, we can see that the kit design of the new car has also been improved in details, such as the retractable wing on the front wheel arch, the closed rim cover, the automatic rear spoiler and the exaggerated rear diffuser.
The most interesting point of AMG ONE comes from its powertrain. The new car is equipped with the power system from F1 racing cars today. It is composed of a 1.6T V6 internal combustion engine and a kinetic energy recovery system ERS. It was rumored that the comprehensive power of the new car system will exceed 1,200 horsepower. Previously, due to the contradiction between the high idle speed of F1 powertrain and the strict emission regulations of the European Union, the delivery of the new car was delayed many times. However, according to foreign media reports, the delivery of the new car will begin in November this year. I hope that the performance of the production version of AMG ONE will not disappoint the car owners who are waiting hard.
● Starting: Mercedes-Benz S 680 Guard 4MATIC
At the 2021 Munich Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz officially released the S 680 Guard 4MATIC, as a special version of the S-class model, which has the bulletproof standard of the whole vehicle VR10 level and can resist the attack of AK47 and mines.
From the appearance, it is not very different from the ordinary new Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and there is no particularly exaggerated design, including the rim, but it is a vehicle with VR10 bulletproof standard. It is equipped with reinforced doors, multi-layer glass and polycarbonate windows with a thickness of more than 1cm, automatic fire extinguishers, emergency air purification system and Michelin PAX bulletproof tires that can last for 30km.
The interior part is also a bulletproof upgrade based on luxury, and all the luxury equipment of S-class is basically armed to the top. And its second row of two boss seats can also meet the daily riding and business needs, and even equipped with refrigerators and other equipment.
In the case of various bullet-proof enhancements, its curb weight has reached about 5 tons. For such a car like the "tank", it is equipped with a 6.0T twin-turbocharged V12 engine with a maximum power of 612 HP and a peak torque of 830 Nm.
● Starting: Mercedes-Benz G-Class PROFESSIONAL Line (professional suit)
At the 2021 Munich Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz brought a strong lineup of electric vehicles, and at the same time, the Mercedes-Benz G-class PROFESSIONAL Line (professional suit) based on the new generation of G-class also made its debut at the auto show.
PROFESSIONAL versions have been introduced in G-class in past dynasties. Compared with the ordinary G-class which gradually moves towards luxury route, the PROFESSIONAL version has returned to the original form of G-class, and has become the characteristics of new cars with strong off-road performance and reliability. However, the PROFESSIONAL version based on the new generation G-class only provides the appearance kit.
The classic square box shape seems to have a reliable feeling without any modification. Of course, Mercedes-Benz has equipped this product with a brand-new big lampshade to protect the lamp group. In addition, the brand-new 18-inch five-spoke wheels, matching off-road tires and fenders also make the new car look more interesting.
In addition, the brand-new roof rack and climbing ladder seem to be able to support more professional equipment for you. At the same time, the brand-new external spare tire rack adopts a more concise design style, which is easy to pick up and more secure.
This official first-time model adopts a brand-new "orange copper" car paint, and this part will also be one of the customization projects, including the appearance and interior of the new car at the same time. In addition to some new kits mentioned above, customers can also make additional customization. In terms of power, it depends on the specific power model selected by the owner. The display vehicle is equipped with a Mercedes-Benz 3.0T diesel six-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 286 HP and a peak torque of 600 Nm.
● Starting: Audi grandsphere concept car
At the 2021 Munich Motor Show, the Audi grandsphere concept car was officially unveiled. The official map of the new car has been released before. As the second model in the "sphere" concept car, the technology and design features of the application of the grandsphere concept car will be extended to the future production models under the Audi brand in a few years.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a futuristic design language. The polygonal front grille with a wide front face adopts a rather complicated middle net layout. In addition, the new car is equipped with a sharp headlight group, and the interior adopts a rather simple light source layout. In addition, the two sides of the front enclosure of the new car are also equipped with sharp guide grooves, which can further optimize the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle.
Coming to the side of the car, the new car has a smooth roof line, which is very slender with the design of short front suspension and long rear suspension. The "sexy" tail line also gives the new car a different charm. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5350/2000/1390mm and the wheelbase is 3190mm respectively. The low body height can fully display the sports attributes of the vehicle. In addition, the new car will adopt a door-to-door design, which can make passengers get on and off more calmly.
When it comes to the rear of the car, its shape is no less than that of the front of the car. The sharp taillight group can form a good echo with the headlight group, and the light source layout with a sense of science and technology will be adopted inside the lamp group. In addition, the new car also adopts a design with visual impact at the rear enclosure, and the design similar to the diffuser can further optimize the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle.
The interior of the new car will be built into a more comfortable living/experience space. Before the driving mode is turned on, the steering wheel, dashboard and other devices will be hidden, which will not only make the car have more open space, but also further demonstrate the sense of technology of the vehicle. In addition, the quality of the new car in the details will also be the ultimate. The blessing of a large number of materials such as wood, wool, synthetic textile fabrics and metals can make the car have a warmer atmosphere, just like being in your own living room.
In terms of power, the new car will be built on the PPE platform. It is reported that the new car will be equipped with a motor on the front and rear axles, with a maximum power of 530 kW and a peak torque of 960 Nm. At the same time, the quattro four-wheel drive system will not be absent. In terms of cruising range, the cruising range of the new car will exceed 750 kilometers.
● Starting: Renault 5 electric concept car
At the 2021 Munich Motor Show, the Renault 5 electric concept car officially debuted. Renault 5 used to be a three-door hatchback mini-car and sold well in the European market from 1970 to 1985, but it will be revived as a pure electric car.

Compared with the slimness and gentleness of the original Renault 5, the Renault 5 electric concept car has become more full. Because of the positioning of electric vehicles, the proportion of the engine compartment of the new car to the total length of the car body is not as high as that of the old one, and the short engine compartment also means better interior space. At the same time, the concept car uses a larger rim, which is matched with the obvious shoulder lines on the front and rear fenders, and the overall visual effect is more powerful, which is also an obvious feature of the Renault 5 Turbo model.
In the details of the body shape, the designer’s tribute to the classic Renault 5 is also full of delicate thoughts. For example, the front composed of a large number of straight lines and rectangles is easy to think of the simple front bumper and headlights of the first generation Renault 5 written by Michel Boue. The imitation air intake design at both ends of the front bumper of the new car is also decorated with square LED light bars, which echoes the rectangular light group on the classic model.

The design of the new car’s tail can’t help but make people exclaim exquisitely. While inheriting the C-pillar angle and the straight tailgate of the original Renault 5, the overall shape of the taillight group also draws inspiration from the old model, and combines the creativity at that time in height and LED light source structure. Moreover, the taillight of the new car is also connected by two LED strip that run through the tailgate, and the right side of the light belt is decorated with Renault diamond trademark shape and the number "5". In fact, there are many elements about "5" in the Renault 5 concept car, such as the part near the daytime running lights and the front door edge near the fender.
Renault did not disclose more information about the interior and power of the new car. In addition, at the press conference, Renault also said that it plans to release seven brand-new pure electric products before 2025. As a small electric vehicle, the new Renault 5 will replace Zoe, who has already achieved success, as the new main sales player, and there will be a smaller Renault 4 to join the brand’s pure electric plan.
● Starting: Cupra UrbanRebel concept car
The 2021 Munich Auto Show officially opened a few days ago, and Cupra, a high-performance brand of SEAT, officially released the UrbanRebel concept car. The new car is driven by pure electricity, and its design is exaggerated and fighting.
In the front part, the new car is built in a rather exaggerated design language. A sharp headlight group will appear on the new car, with a relatively simple light source layout inside and strong sci-fi attributes. In addition, the new car will be equipped with a large trapezoidal vent in the front enclosure, and the radical front lip and sharp guide grooves on both sides can create a more intense fighting atmosphere.
Coming to the car side, the new car adopts a two-door body layout, and at the same time, the black roof design will also appear on the new car. In addition, we can see that the new car will adopt a three-dimensional design at the side skirt, which is expected to further optimize the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle.
In the rear part, the new car adopts a highly recognizable design, and the exaggerated spoiler is quite eye-catching. It is worth mentioning that the taillight group of the new car will be integrated on the spoiler, which is very rare in the current automobile market. In addition, the other parts of the rear of the car are basically occupied by aerodynamic kits, and the exaggerated diffuser and the diversion grooves on both sides can play a positive role in the performance of the vehicle.
In terms of power, the maximum power of the driving motor equipped with the new car will reach 320 kW (435 HP), and it only takes 3.2 seconds for the new car to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h.
● Starting: Kia SPORTAGE GT-line European Edition
At the 2021 Munich Motor Show, Kia launched the SPORTAGE GT-line European version. The new car has a more sporty design and a shorter wheelbase than other regional versions. The previous model of this car is called Lion Run in China, and this generation of SPORTAGE is also expected to take the lead in meeting you as a brand new KX5 in China.
In terms of appearance, at the beginning of this year, Kia released a brand-new design concept of "Opposites United", which naturally became the inspiration for the design of the new SPORTAGE. The black air intake grille at the front of the car has a complicated shape, and the exaggerated LED daytime running lights on both sides are connected with the headlight group, which looks very individual.
The concave-convex shape of the taillights is different from the flat and penetrating design that is popular now. The internal LED strip echoes the daytime running lights at the front of the car, adding a sense of movement to the rear of the car. The new car is built on the N3 platform. In terms of size, the length of the European version is 4515mm, which is 85mm shorter than the global version, and the wheelbase is 2680mm, which is 75mm shorter than the global version.
In the interior, the new Kia SPORTAGE GT-line adopts a penetrating instrument panel, the LCD instrument panel is integrated with the central control panel, the three-spoke steering wheel is added with GT exclusive LOGO, and the transmission is knob-type. The paint decoration makes the knob shifting mechanism more like a work of art, and the GT exclusive LOGO is also added to the vehicle seat.
In terms of power, the new car offers a variety of power combinations, including 1.6T (gasoline +48V light mixing system, with maximum power of 150 horsepower version and 180 horsepower version. In addition, the new car will also be equipped with a 1.6T plug-in hybrid powertrain, with a combined maximum power of 264 HP and a 13.8kWh battery pack, with a mileage of 56km in pure electric form.
