Description:
A group of friends have brought their skills together to transform an old-school Volkswagen Beetle, named Tope, in order to take part in one of the world’s most ruthless races. The Baja 1000 is a Mexican desert race which takes place annually in the Baja California Peninsula. It’s the longest point to point off-road race in the world, that's run in a single day. Josh McGuckin, one of Tope's mechanics, explained how much of a challenge preparing for the race was for the team. He told FutureStudiosCarss: “Driving this car in the Baja 1000 can be summed up for me in one word, exhausting.” To an outsider the car would appear as just a “really old bugg” but once inside, “suddenly it just comes to life”. Starting with the VW Beetle was a huge undertaking for the team, as they had to modify the classic 1970 car to be suitable for the incredibly harsh conditions. However, the extreme nature of this race did take its toll on the well-loved vehicle, “every time you come back from a race, you’re constantly rebuilding and replacing everything”, Josh explained. The bugg may not be the fastest car, but it’s capable of doing the job for this team. And the teamwork paid off as Tope triumphantly reached the finish line. Josh spoke about his relief and elation, “every time we race this car, we learn something new.\

The fully electric drive of the BMW i5 Touring in the sixth model generation makes this combination even more attractive. BMW M Performance Parts will also be available for all model variants from market launch in May 2024, underlining the dynamic character of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring in everyday use and on journeys.<br/><br/>The model-specific aerodynamic, interior and suspension retrofit products offer ideal opportunities to individually optimise the dynamic potential and athletic appearance of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring. Products from the Original BMW Accessories programme are already homologated with the complete vehicle, so no separate registration with the registration authorities is required.<br/><br/>The BMW M Performance Parts for the exterior set individual accents in appearance and at the same time fulfil functional requirements in terms of lightweight construction and aerodynamics. They have been specially developed for the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring with M Sport Package or M Sport Package Pro and are perfectly matched to the geometry and design of the vehicle.

_cupra-born-vz-driving-video.webp "Another of the most relevant characteristics of working with a material such as flax is that “each CUP Bucket seat is unique. No two pieces can ever be the same due to the orientation and length of the fibres” Francesca points out. Therefore, as a result of the uniqueness of this natural fibre and its manufacturing process, each customer is going to have a seat with its own personality. These distinctive features are captured in the woven pattern of the backrest and serve to enhance CUPRA’s disruptive DNA.<br/><br/>CUPRA is collaborating with Bcomp and Sabelt to integrate the flax fibre and develop the innovative structural shell, making it possible to implement an environmentally friendly material in the CUPRA Born VZ, reducing the use of plastics as well as providing the same level of safety as carbon fibre. Francesca Sangalli highlights that through this synergy “we are changing the sporty aesthetics to incorporate a functional part made of flax fibre in the interior of a car.” This is yet another example of CUPRA’s push to break barriers and challenge the status quo.<br/><br/>As part of CUPRA’s strategy to explore and introduce new sustainable materials in the production of its vehicles, “we’ve been researching the use of flax fibre for some time to integrate it in our car seats. We presented this project at the Unstoppable Impulse event in Terramar and are now happy to say that it’s been successfully implemented” says Francesca. This concept has gone from being an inspiration to forming part of the brand’s DNA. This commitment to sustainable materials can also be seen in the upholstery, as the base is made with SEAQUAL® YARN fabric created from plastic waste extracted from the sea, in addition to the use of DINAMICA microfibre, which is made with 73% recycled polyester.")
