Getting the treatment T

he Jaguar F-PACE, 2017 World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year, gets the SVR treatment to make it the fastest and most powerful F-PACE yet, with an enhanced chassis and aerodynamics for maximum driver reward in all conditions. Engineered by Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), with a 44 per cent uplift in power, the F-PACE SVR’s 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol engine produces 404kW and 680Nm, enabling it to reach 0-100km/h in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 283km/h. “The F-PACE SVR delivers the handling and agility to match its performance. Everything from the steering to the bespoke suspension set-up has been tuned specifically for our performance SUV and the result is a vehicle that lives up to the promise of both the F-PACE and SVR names,” says Mike Cross, Chief Engineer, Vehicle Integrity, Jaguar Land Rover. Aerodynamic enhancements include larger air intakes at the front and side fender vents that lower pressure in the wheel arches, reduce lift and provide additional cooling while also optimising high-speed stability. In addition, unique wheel arch extensions and lower body mouldings provide a low-slung muscularity that sets the SVR apart. An exclusive SVR bonnet features

vents to help extract hot air from the engine bay and provide visual evidence of the SVR’s dynamic intent. At the rear, a unique spoiler is joined by a new bumper housing the quad tailpipes of the Active Exhaust system. The bumper incorporates side strakes that aid aerodynamic performance by smoothing airflow away from the rear of the vehicle. The uprated chassis has progressive front and rear springs that are 30 and 10 per cent stiffer respectively and incorporate an anti-roll bar specification that contributes to a 5 per cent reduction in body roll. New, lightweight forged 21- and optional 22-inch alloy wheels are wider at the rear by 25mm compared to the front and contribute to the SVR’s enhanced handling. The 22-inch wheels are 2.4kg lighter on the front and 1.7kg lighter on the rear and are designed to deliver greater airflow to the uprated larger 395mm front and 396mm rear brake discs. The brake discs feature an advanced two piece construction on the front and rear to reduce weight, further contributing to the SVR’s agile handling. F-PACE SVR also features Jaguar’s Variable Valve Active Exhaust System. This provides a charismatic soundtrack and is another factor behind the SVR’s increased performance capability as the active system allows increased gas flow.

Electrifying escapism

his week, Genesis unveiled its groundbreaking Essentia Concept at the New York International Auto Show. The all-electric, high-performance concept elevates and reimagines the “Athletic Elegance” design paradigm, while providing a vision of future Genesis product performance and technology. Essentia is the brand’s first battery electric vehicle and features a lightweight carbon-fibre monocoque, a robust, multi-motor electric powertrain, and a

custom-tailored interior. Essentia is the brand’s initial concept for a true GT car and challenges the status quo as the ultimate manifestation of Genesis design and engineering. As a capable, thrilling sports car designed to counter the complexities of a modern lifestyle, Essentia offers serenity, clarity, and beauty. The philosophy of Athletic Elegance has a prominent role, marrying power and precision through artistry. Essentia takes its inspiration from

iconic Gran Turismo proportions, with a long bonnet and a swept-back cabin. Finished in Stardust Gray Metallic, the carbon fibre-bodied Essentia is positioned low to the ground intentionally, to make it instantly recognisable through a graceful silhouette. Its front fascia introduces an evolution of the Genesis Crest Grille that highlights efficiency and aerodynamics. Visible through the transparent hood is the advanced carbon fibre chassis, pronounced formula car-style nose cone, as well as the

exposed, pushrod suspension. Intakes positioned left and right of the Crest Grille function as air curtains, streamlining airflow around the front corners. Flanking the Crest Grille are signature Genesis Quad Lights, first introduced on the GV80 Concept. Made possible by laser optical technology, the extremely thin, flush headlights are integrated into the body of Essentia. Extending onto a side blade aft of the front wheels, the lights create a unique light signature for Essentia.

ATTRACT ATTENTION, NOT INTEREST. Standing out couldn’t be easier in the iconic MINI 3-Door or MINI 5-Door Hatch, now available with an attractive finance offer. Make the icon your own with its many customisable features, then get behind the wheel and experience the unique, go-kart handling.

A journey through time W ith the world premiere of an extraordinary car at the New York International Auto Show this week, the British car manufacturer MINI once again demonstrates its appetite for purely electric driving with a new take on an icon. The classic Mini Electric combines the historic look of the world’s favourite small car with groundbreaking drive technology for tomorrow’s urban mobility. With this unique vehicle, MINI sends out a clear signal demonstrating its commitment to retaining the brand’s unmistakable character whilst embracing innovative zero local emission technology. The classic Mini Electric is the result of an imaginary journey through time, where the story of classic model is extended by a consecutive chapter. The original from the second half of the 20th century becomes a sympathetic ambassador for environmental awareness and a form of sustainable mobility whose future has just begun. The urban electro mobility landscape will soon benefit from the arrival of a brand new model, packed with charisma, individual style and driving fun. The MINI Electric Concept was announced at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, and paves the way for the brand’s first all-electric vehicle which will be unveiled in 2019 – just in time for the 60th anniversary of the classic Mini. The fully electric production vehicle is

currently in development, based on the MINI 3 Door, and will be produced for the first time at MINI Plant Oxford next year. MINI is once again assuming a pioneering role for sustainable mobility within the BMW Group. In 2008, the brand presented the MINI E – based on the predecessor model of the current MINI 3 Door, about 600 examples were produced and used in a field trial under everyday conditions.

This trial played a central role in paving the way for the development of the BMW i3, which has enjoyed worldwide success since 2013 (combined power consumption: 13.6-13.1kWh/100km, combined CO2 emissions: 0g/km). On the way to a new era in electro mobility, MINI has already taken another step forward. In the MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 Plug-In Hybrid model (fuel consumption combined: 2.3-2.1l/100 km,

The Hyundai SUV Family

combined power consumption: 14.013.2kWh/100 km combined with CO2 emissions from fuel: 52-49g/km), the combination of an internal combustion engine with an electric drive provides a system output of 165kW/224hp and an intelligent hybrid-specific all-wheel drive system. The capable five-door model in the premium compact segment guarantees driving pleasure on any terrain. The vehicles draws its power from both engines for powerful acceleration, whilst retaining the ability to drive at up to 125km/h in purely electric mode. With these qualities, the MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 makes a significant contribution to the global market success of the BMW Group’s electrified vehicle fleet. By contrast, the classic Mini Electric presented in New York will remain unique. A late and carefully restored example of the classic Mini Cooper serves as the basis for this special vehicle. The exterior red paint is complemented by a contrast white roof and characteristic bonnet strip, with the yellow MINI Electric logo in the brand emblem and on the wheel hubs. The electric classic remains true to the brand, both in terms of its visual appearance and driving characteristics. The spontaneous power of its electric motor provides a new dimension to the unmistakable go-kart feeling that helped propel the British small car in its original form to worldwide popularity.

History on wheels

ne never knows where or when something unusual will appear. Case in point just recently a vintage car was spotted at a service station. Now readers may be thinking and understandably so that isn’t all that unusual, after all those lovely old vehicles just like their modern counterparts do need a drink from time to time. But give it a second though and one realises it’s not an everyday occurrence. There was a certain something about this particular car, which was quite large and painted black. It was a four door saloon with a canvas top. It looked American and it was. The immediate impression, which proved correct, was not of a Buick, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford or other well-known cars of the era. This superb vehicle was a Flint. It transpired – and given people were lining up at the service station there wasn’t a lot of time for transpiring – the two chaps with the car were father and son, members of a family obviously keen on cars, who had just been to Christchurch to take delivery of their recently purchased Flint. They were heading home. Home being quite a way down south, maybe as far as Invercargill. Dad was driving and son was the support crew in a fourwheel-drive. The gentleman driving the Flint said the journey to Ashburton had been uneventful, despite inclement weather, and even without side curtains he was comfortable and enjoying the experience. He went on to say being powered by a 6-cylinder motor the Flint cruises effortlessly, enabling it to keep up with other traffic and because of its sturdy body it was not being buffeted by either the weather or turbulence caused by large vehicles. Hopefully the pair had a good trip home. If the way the car’s motor was ticking over as it exited the service station is anything to go by they would have done. It was a brief but interesting encounter, which became more interesting following a little bit of research about Flint cars. From memory the car was a 1925 model, but if it wasn’t it was made within two years either side of that. How do we know that? Good question, for which we have a good answer. It has to have been made, incidentally in a factory in the city of Flint, Michigan, in one of those years because the cars were only made during a four-year period ending in 1927. Which of course means the car is rare. The Flint was built at the Flint Motors Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Durant Motors Company – not to be confused with a much earlier and unrelated Flint motor business. Flints were assembled rather than manufactured cars, because Durant Mo-

An unusual sight at a Mid Canterbury service station was a Flint, likely the same model as pictured.

tors used components made by outside suppliers. The cars were powered by a 6-cylinder Continental engine, and its body stampings were made by Budd in Philadelphia. The origins of the Flint can be traced back to the Willys car company, which under the direction of Walter P. Chrysler had been working on a prototype for a proposed 6-cylinder car. Willys had to sell off this prototype as part of its efforts to raise cash during a financial crisis. Once acquired, the prototype was further modified to create the Flint. The Durant Company was established by legendary motor manufacturing pioneer Willy Durant, who played a huge part in the formation of General Motors, which to cut a long story short he left, returned to and then left again for good. A victim of hard times and particularly the great depression, the Durant Company ultimately became part of General Motors. Willy Durant’s name will forever be synonymous with the early days of motoring. Interestingly after exiting the motor industry his foresight led him to be a pioneer in another emerging business – supermarkets. The sight of a vintage car at a service station was something a bit unusual. Seeing a Flint car was really quite out of the ordinary.

A bit of motoring mirth

eordie Robinson, a renowned local raconteur, had us in fits recently with a couple of stories, one of which we feel we should share. That’s not to say we couldn’t share both, but this one relates to motoring. It goes like this. As part of the training of his new puppy the owner took it for a ride in his car. He stopped at a large department store, where he parked his car in the car park,

leaving the puppy inside with the windows down a little. Sitting on the seat and being small the puppy was not visible from outside. To continue the training each time the puppy’s owner took a few steps back he paused pointed towards his car and said “stay!” After he repeated this action several times a 6-year-old boy who was nearby said “hey mister did you not think of putting the car in Park?”

Baby Gixxer a surprise package I ’ve always had a soft spot for the small capacity motorcycle segment. Maybe it’s because they aren’t so well-loved in this country, where bigger is always better in the minds of so many riders, or maybe it’s to do with the quirky nature they often take. Whatever the reason, small bikes can be a hell of a lot of fun to wring every bit of performance out of, without worrying about losing your licence. Suzuki has taken a punt that there are still riders out there who want a small capacity run-around to thrash from point A to point B with joyful abandon. According to Suzuki NZ’s motorcycling general manager, Simon Meade, there are more such riders than expected – the first threemonth allotment of bikes sold out thanks to riders in the urban centres. With the little bike selling so well, I had to grab a GSX150F to put it to the test myself. Now, along with being a surprise hit with the small-capacity market, the GSX150F also has the important role of being the base for the newest class of motorcycle racers in New Zealand – the GIXXER Cup GSX150R – which gives new riders a real taste of racing for a very small outlay. Even before the GIXXER Cup had set out of the pit lane, Suzuki clearly benefited from the “race on Sunday, sell on Monday”

mantra. The GSX150F isn’t a bad bike by any stretch and all that separates it from the R are the mirrors, bars and lights. The tight package gives you a lightweight chassis mated to an aluminium 154cc single-cylinder engine that feels like it puts out the same amount of grunt as the 250 class of the pre-LAMS era. Hopping aboard I was surprised – to say the least – to find not only a choke lever on our test bike, but also a kick starter. It’s fun

to kick it into action, and nice to know that even if the battery goes a little flat, you’ll still be able to get the bike moving. It’s clear from the outset that the GSX150F isn’t really designed as a longdistance tourer or open-road bandit, and is much happier among the traffic and low speeds you often find in our urban centres, where you can make the most out of the 5-speed gearbox and torquey little engine. While battling strong headwinds on the

highway, I was reasonably surprised to find I could almost keep the little bike at the legal limit. It’s here that I felt I worked the baby Gixxer out. Although it’s definitely not designed to be a long-distance tourer or state highway slayer, it does a respectable job at both. It can do the highway if necessary, but it’s more of a modern alternative to the GN125, except it has what feels like the power of the GN250. It is, however, far more at home in town. With the bike being so lightweight, I started to consider it more of a cool scooter alternative than a tiny Gixxer. Tipping the scales at just 139kg, it’s easily manageable in traffic and when you tie that in with the low seat height of 785mm, it makes for a fantastic bike for younger riders to enter the world of riding. Braking comes from two pistons calipers up front and a single disc and piston combo out back, which have no issue stopping the bike from the open-road limit. That sums up the little Gixxer in all respects. It shouldn’t be as manageable as it is, and hauling a 100kg rider along at the open road limit is an achievement for a 150cc machine, whatever way you slice it. The fact that Suzuki NZ has sold out the first shipment also speaks volumes. - By Mathieu Day-Gillett
