This setup produces a 0 to 100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds. The BMW M3 CS comes with the M Driver’s Package as standard and has an electronically limited top speed of 302 km/h. The new BMW M3 CS will be built in a limited run at BMW Group Plant Munich from March 2023, with its phased launch getting underway the same month. With the debut of Lamborghini’s first hybrid super sports car fast approaching, the Italian company is celebrating its iconic naturally-aspirated V12 with the Invencible coupe and Auténtica roadster: two unique cars that showcase the brand’s DNA and epitomise Lamborghini’s exclusive focus on personalisation. Customers were involved from the beginning in creating these truly bespoke models. The Invencible and Auténtica are the last cars to be produced by Lamborghini with a 12-cylinder 6.5 l engine and mark the transition to a hybrid era. They deliver 780 CV and 720 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed ISR transmission, and can reach a top speed of over 350 km/h. Invencible and Auténtica pay homage to Lamborghini design masterpieces such as the Sesto Elemento, the Reventón, and the Veneno. Both cars feature a carbon fiber monocoque from the Aventador, produced in Sant’Agata Bolognese, along with full carbon bodywork and design and technologies tested in motorsport. The Invencible coupe features a dominant shade of red with carbon-look elements and red “flakes,” complemented by Rosso Mars brake callipers and hexagonal tricolors as a tribute to the Italian flag. The Auténtica roadster features bodywork in Grigio Titans with Matt Black details and a Giallo Auge livery, with contrasting interior embroidery and upholstery in Giallo Taurus, Nero Ade leather, and two-tone Nero Cosmus and Grigio Octans Alcantara.
