The Week's Most Important Car Numbers
From a powerful Mercedes to an electric Porsche, these are the most important numbers of the week.
Khodrocar - Numbers are all around us – whether we're breaking down the performance of a Ferrari 488, or comparing the price of a Model S to a Mercedes. Every week we pick out a few numbers that are so significant we have to give them a second look. Today we’re looking at key figures from Mercedes-AMG, Porsche, and more.
3.1That’s how many seconds it will take the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe to reach 60 miles per hour – that’s the benefit of having 630 horsepower. The "four-door coupe” debuted this week in Geneva and will also be offered in tamer 53 (429 hp) and 63 (577 hp) versions.
2The number of electric drive motors in the Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo concept. An all-electric wagon, the new model will likely follow the Mission E sedan to market in the coming years. Not only will it have zero local emissions, it’ll also boast Porsche-like performance: a claimed 600 hp and a 0-62-mph time of 3.5 seconds.
256The claimed top speed, in miles per hour, of the Rimac C_Two. It’s an all-electric supercar that is claimed to have a 404-mile driving range per charge, as well as a total of 1,888 hp and a 1.85-second sprint to 60 mph. Rimac even claims the car will be capable of Level 4 autonomous driving. We’ll believe it when we see it.
2,500The deposit, in Euros – that’s about $3,000 – that potential customers can pay to reserve a Polestar 1. The upcoming car will reportedly enter production in the middle of next year, with a carbon-fiber body and a plug-in hybrid powertrain claimed to be good for 600 hp.
