Just like it was shown in the movie A unique Lamborghini from the film “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013) will be auctioned at Bonhams|Cars, which will be held on November 25 in Abu Dhabi as part of the final round of Formula 1. They plan to sell the car at a price of 1.5-2 million dollars. The 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary is offered in as-is condition and is a "reflection of the extravagant debauchery of the era." [caption id="attachment_79281" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lamborghini[/caption] According to the plot of the film, the car belonged to Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. This is a real person who made a fortune from fraudulent activities on Wall Street in the 1980s and 90s. The car was in DiCaprio's frame for about 3 minutes and 11 seconds, but was remembered for some great scenes. In one of them, the main character crawls towards a car and tries to open one of the scissor doors with his foot. The protagonist then crashes it into several parked cars and other road obstacles. The world's only Lamborghini from the film "The Wolf of Wall Street" was put up for auction [caption id="attachment_79284" align="aligncenter" width="750"] Lamborghini[/caption] At the direction of director Martin Scorsese, the team used an additional car and truck to cause additional damage to the Lamborghini and give it a more broken-down appearance.

This segment will only grow Ferrari published its quarterly report, confirming that it shipped 3,459 cars to customers between July and September this year. This is 271 cars more than in the same period last year. The share of hybrid models was 51%, and the company is gradually increasing this segment. In the second quarter of 2023, sales of gas-electric Ferraris accounted for 43% of the total. The line-up includes nine pure petrol and four electrified models, including the SF90 and 296 families, each of which includes coupes and roadsters. They make up the bulk of Ferrari's deliveries at the moment. Ferrari already sells more hybrids than ICE-only cars. [caption id="attachment_78937" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Ferrari[/caption] The report also indicates increased sales of the 812 Competizione A roadster and the Purosangue crossover. The release of the collectible Daytona SP3 is proceeding according to plan, while the F8 spyder is coming to the end of its life cycle. According to Ferrari's own forecast, by 2030, just 20% of its cars will remain pure gasoline, 40% will be hybrids, and 40% will be electric vehicles. The first supercar without an internal combustion engine is expected only in 2025, and according to the latest official data, its development is ahead of schedule.

A manual transmission will remain in Porsche 911 and 718 for now Porsche has confirmed that it will continue to offer manual transmission Porsche 911 and 718 models for as long as possible. While many other sports car manufacturers have abandoned manual transmissions over the past 10 to 15 years, including Ferrari and Lamborghini, Porsche has not given up and continues to produce what many consider to be the best manual transmissions available today. Speaking about the automaker's commitment to manual transmissions, Porsche 911 and 718 boss Frank Moser said customer demand is the reason manual transmissions remain in the lineup. [caption id="attachment_70910" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Porsche[/caption] Porsche remains true to the “mechanics” “A manual transmission is always what a customer wants in a 911, so we have worked and are working as long as possible to keep the manual transmission,” Moser told The Drive. “This is true for the 911. That's why we have the 911 T with manual transmission and now the 911 S/T with manual transmission. That’s because customers want manual gear shifting.” Moser added that the automaker is working to retain manual transmissions for the current generation 911 and 718. Given that the 718 will later become an electric car, it will likely lose a manual transmission in the future. Moser noted that the car manufacturer is not interested in creating a manual transmission for an electric vehicle, as Toyota is doing.

The record was recorded on December 2 This heavily modified Porsche 911 rose to an altitude of 6,734 meters above sea level. We are talking about the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, which received new portal axles that increase ground clearance to an impressive 350 mm. To ensure that the all-terrain sports car is not damaged when climbing over rocks, it has been equipped with a durable aramid fiber underbody guard. [caption id="attachment_85758" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Porsche 911[/caption] Three-time Le Mans champion Romain Dumas piloted a modified Porsche 911 equipped with a pair of carbon fiber seats and a five-point harness. Engineers modified the PDK transmission by lowering the gear ratios to make it easier to control acceleration at low speeds. Another important change was the adjustment of the steering, which became more precise on rough terrain. The factory output of this six-cylinder engine is 443 hp. [caption id="attachment_85759" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Porsche 911[/caption] Porsche 911 with portal axles rose to a record height of 6734 m The car used no fossil fuels, the tank was filled with synthetic fuel produced from water and carbon dioxide using renewable energy sources. To reach the top of the western ridge of Ojos del Salado in Chile, an escort vehicle was required. Both teams had to endure cold and thin air. The air at this altitude was about half as dense as at sea level. After two weeks of acclimatization at high altitude, the record was taken last Saturday, December 2. The two vehicles started their journey at 3:30 a.m. and reached the summit at 3:58 p.m. Due to difficult conditions with sub-zero temperatures, thin air and remote terrain, the team took two doctors with them. [caption id="attachment_85760" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Porsche 911[/caption] The Porsche 911 managed to beat the previous record set in 2020 by a pair of Unimog trucks that reached a height of 6,694 meters on the same Ojos del Salado volcano in Chile.

And 33 more Haval F7 crossovers The Chechen police have thoroughly updated their vehicle fleet: 35 foreign cars were registered at once in the traffic police garage of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. 33 of them are “Chinese”, two are thoroughbred German horses, which, perhaps, are not even in the garage of the German police. [caption id="attachment_85397" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Mercedes-AMG G 63[/caption] The regional Ministry of Internal Affairs received 33 Haval F7 crossovers under the national project “Safe Quality Roads” program, but two Gelendvagens (the top version of the Mercedes-AMG G 63) were transferred by the Regional Public Foundation named after Hero of Russia Akhmat-Hadzhi Kadyrov. the Chechen police received a pair of Mercedes-AMG G 63 [caption id="attachment_85398" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Mercedes-AMG G 63[/caption] The Mercedes-AMG G 63 has a 4.0-liter V8 engine producing 577 hp under the hood, coupled with an AMG Speedshift TCT 9G-Tronic automated transmission. Drive – full. Officially, such cars are no longer sold in Russia; the cost of “parallel” ones starts from 33 million rubles. If we take into account that the Haval F7 is supplied in the top-end Tech Plus configuration for 3.3 million rubles (with a 2.0-liter engine and all-wheel drive), it turns out that the price of two Mercedes-AMG G 63 covers the cost of 20 Haval F7. [caption id="attachment_85399" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Mercedes-AMG G 63[/caption] Various Russian departments are now in full swing to master imported equipment, but almost always these are “Chinese”. Thus, earlier the Great Wall Poer pickup truck was registered in the FSO fleet , and Moscow law enforcement officers received a Tank 500 . In terms of price and capabilities, these models cannot be compared with the Mercedes-AMG G 63.
