Any car badged with the Abarth logo is destined to cater to the enthusiasts specifically. Now, this performance division of Italian carmaker Fiat has decided to collaborate with Stellantis Motorsport to set new standards in the electric automotive world. The first lovechild between this newfound alliance is already set to be the most powerful Abarth ever, courtesy of a 240hp output. The partnership also sees both banners coming together and bringing racing expertise and technological know-hows from its respective backgrounds to craft a new platform called the Perfo-eCMP. It’s a new platform based on the well-known eCMP and will see many new projects within the Group. This new Abarth is also equipped with a unique limited slip differential which was developed for the specific needs of a BEV powertrain and will feature an advanced braking system comprising bigger brake discs and larger disc surfaces for a better heat dissipation and fading resistance.

MG’s EXE181 Concept electric hypercar pays tribute to a record-breaking car

Global auto expos and concept car unveils go hand in hand and British-born MG continues this tradition at the ongoing 2024 Beijing Auto Show by unveiling an all-electric hypercar concept called the MG EXE181 Concept. If you recall the name from before, Sir Sterling Moss set a land speed record in 1957 with a car called the EX181, which stands to this day. An extra E was added, probably to signify the electric powertrain’s presence, and the design inspiration borrowed from the record-breaking car further helped the concept achieve a drag coefficient of 0.181, explaining the nomenclature behind the concept’s name. MG engineered this car to attain a top speed of 415 km/h and the interior with a streamlined steering wheel and Head-Up Display setup further emphasizes the priority on speed. Tom Lee, Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East, said: “The unveiling of the EXE181 concept is yet another clear demonstration of the eye-catching progress that the MG brand is making both globally and regionally. This concept car embodies MG’s core values of innovation and design excellence, showcasing our commitment to pushing boundaries and shaping the future of automotive technology.”
