During the 2024 model time alone, a sprinkle of brands arere-introducing cherished nameplates and outlines like the Integra Type S and the Volkswagen machine( now the ID Buzz). Contrivers are also drawing alleviation from the old — indeed if the nameplate is new with cubical SUVs and long GT sports buses ( indeed though the length is no longer necessary for small machines). It’s not unlike the state of the watch world As smartwatches grew in fashionability, so too did interest in quaint watches and fogy designs.
Of course, there are also new buses ( and plenitude of new tech) for 2024 that showcase a straight line to the future. nearly all of this forward- looking excitement is galvanized, be it the bonkers new Lucid Air Sapphire or the long- awaited Cadillac Celestiq.
Whether you ’re into the old, the new, or the marriage of the two, there are lots of new buses to be agitated about right now. Below are some of the stylish new buses of 2024.
McLaren Artura
The McLaren Artura was technically new for the 2023 model time, but we did n’t get our hands on one until the very end of last time. And we were thrilled to do so. The Artura is McLaren’s incursion into hybridization, mounting a 94- power electric motor to a 577- power3.0- litre binary- turbo V- 6 for a aggregate of 671 HP. Another big addition is the Artura’s new carbon lattice hogshead, made in- house by the establishment. Largely due to this advanced lattice, the Artura is extremely featherlight — especially for a mongrel — at 3,384 pounds( check).
Turn on the Artura and you ’ll be in completely- electric mode, which you can stay in while, say, pulling in or out of your quiet neighborhood. Once you ’re on the open road, flip the auto in comfort, sport, or race mode, and the V- 6 purs to life. Put your bottom down and it roars up to 8,500 rpm, consummately handled by an eight- speed binary- clutch transmission. Like once McLarens, steering is also razor-sharp, rounding out one of the stylish entry- position sports buses presently on the request.
Ferrari Purosangue
Away in Italy, Ferrari has been busy preparing its first- ever SUV, the Purosangue. The SUV will start at$ 402,050 and come with a hefty naturally- aspirated6.5- liter V- 12 worth 715 power. That’s all veritably classic Ferrari; the self-murder doors and hinder seats are not. Like the frontal seats, the hinder bones
are pail seats that fold down to make room for SUV- type gear. Overall, it’s looking to be a fairly dégagé option compared to challengers like the Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga, and Rolls Royce Cullinan.
Lamborghini Revuelto
The Lamborghini Aventador has enjoyed a 12- time run as the brand’s flagship, but now it’s being succeeded by the Revuelto. As anticipated from Lambo, the wedge- shaped Revuelto’s design language is about as bold as a road- going auto can be, finalize with cavernous side inputs and a low, thickset nose. But the real caption is the powertrain, which mounts two electric motors to a monstrous naturally aspirated6.5- liter V- 12. simultaneously, you get just over 1,000 power, which Lamborghini claims will propel the new bull to 62 mph in2.5 seconds.
Acura Integra Type S
Acura brought back the Integra nameplate( for utmost requests) last time, but 2024 brings the neat position we were staying for the TypeS. And it might be a perfect sucker auto.
The Type S is basically a nicer interpretation of important- favored Honda Civic Type R. You get further diurnal drivability with the same grippy running, a slightlyre-worked two- liter turbo inline- four, and — whether you like it or love it — a six- speed primer is the only transmission option. It’s quick however not insanely fast with a claimed5.1-alternate 0- 60, but that’s not really the point of the TypeS. Pulling out of turns, the machine gurgles and whirls like a videotape game, the six- speed stick is precise, and you flash back the joy of driving. But, unlike utmost buses that are this important fun, you can daily the Type S just as fluently as any other hatchback.
Maserati GranTurismo
The Maserati GranTurismo has returned after a many times ’ hiatus — and it’s back in a big way.
Three models are on offer for the 2024 model time, including two gas- powered options( the Modena and the Trofeo) and a completely- electric model, dubbed the Folgore. All three use the same platform and shell, which subtly modernizes the former GranTurismo for arguably the best- looking new auto of 2024. But the design tweaks are functional too. Visibility is excellent, the drag measure is down, and a slightly puffed- out roof creates enough room for grown-ups in the auto’s back seats.
On Tuscan country roads, the binary- turbo V- 6 Trofeo was equal corridor roisterous, sportful, and comfortable — especially with Maserati’s excellent new Sonus Faber sound system. The electric Folgore was the looker however. The coupe rips to 60 in2.7 seconds, which feels blistering although the number is n’t too shocking in moment’s EV geography. The main event was the running, which uses a sophisticated necklace- vectoring setup( one machine per reverse wheel and another for the frontal two) to help throw the auto around corners. This running, the rocket- suchlike acceleration, and the drop-dead gorgeous aesthetics combine to make the Folgore maybe the most delightful and attractive EV we ’ve driven yet.
Lucid Air Sapphire
At the threat of sounding melodramatic, flooring the new Lucid Air Sapphire made us reevaluate what it means to drive presto. The luxury five seater’s three motors put out a aggregate of 1,234 power, which launches the Sapphire from zero to 60 in a record- breaking1.89 seconds, and zero to 100 in3.84. We ’ll say that again 0- 60 in1.89 seconds. The Sapphire also gets a significant running upgrade thanks to bang- on necklace vectoring, revised suspense, and sharper steering.
But the Sapphire’s ludicrous performance is n’t its only strong suit. You also get an EPA- estimated range of 427 long hauls, which is vastly lower than the Lucid Air Grand traveling’s assiduity- leading 516 long hauls, but vastly further than the competition( the Tesla Model S Plaid gets an EPA- estimated 348 long hauls, for illustration).
