10 Most Advanced Cars Across the Globe | From Koenigsegg Gemera To Honda Civic

Fact: Time and sea waves wait for no one. Well, is this something true for technology? In short, yes! Technology waits for no one; it just keeps on advancing. Be it electronics or automobiles; everything is reaching new heights when it comes to tech. But the most important factor of tech advancement is the convenience and environment.

So, regarding automobiles, here are 10 cars that come with the latest technology. There could be many pillars when talking about the latest tech. And the vehicles listed could be advanced in terms of either powertrain, features, safety, drivetrain and more.

1. Koenigsegg Gemera (600hp from a 2.0-litre 3 cylinder engine)

   

   Koenigsegg is a unique name, and so is the technology behind its vehicles. One such vehicle from this carmaker is the Gemara. What’s so special about the car? Well, this is a hypercar with only a 2.0-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine. Yes! You read it right, a 3-cylinder.

   That’s not all; this “tiny friendly giant engine” (this is what Koenigsegg likes to call the engine) makes a whopping 600 hp and 600 Nm of peak torque. The last time I checked, a two-litre 4-cylinder TSI motor from Skoda makes just 190hp of max power.

   Gemera uses multiple technologies in the engine to produce nearly 3 times the power of a 2.0-litre TSI motor. That said, this uses a twin-turbo setup with about 29psi of boost. That’s not all; the hypercar has 3 motors that drive up the total power to 1700hp.

2. Tesla Model S (0-100 in just 2.4 seconds)
   

   

   Green energy or battery power might take the world like a pandemic. That said, Tesla, with its line-up, already shows a small trailer of what could be the future of automobiles. This carmaker surely has no boundaries when it comes to innovation. Tesla Model S is one of the admired all-electric vehicles across the globe.

   What’s so special about the sedan? Tesla Model S can drive on highways and even on the streets. But for safety reasons, the diver must constantly touch the steering to show their presence and not drowsy. That’s just the half story. Model S is faster than most supercars or even hypercars regarding acceleration.

   For instance, Bugatti Chiron takes 2.5 seconds to go from 0-100kmph, which is fast. But the Tesla Model S is even quicker and can clock 100kmph from a standstill in just 2.4 seconds.

3. Jaguar XE SV Project 8 (World’s Fastest 4-door Production Car)
   

   

   You surely have seen the Jaguar XE running on Indian roads. This sedan looks as if it has been built for some serious purpose. Long story short, XE’s chassis is capable of more than just a daily commuter sedan. This is exactly what people at Jaguar know. Enters the vision of Project 8. This super sedan debuted in 2017 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England. This started as a conventional XE, later modified by JLRs Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) to become a 592hp beast.

   This sedan rides on massive 20″ wheels wrapped with Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres. Both combined offer an exceptional look and feel connected from behind the wheel. The engine comes with a 5.0-litre V8 that pushes 592hp of max power and 700Nm of peak torque.

   For reference, the engine is supercharged and is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The combined tech can propel the vehicle from 0-100 in just 3.3 seconds. That’s not all; Jaguar XE Project 8 is the world’s fastest production sedan around the Nurburgring race track.

4. Honda Civic Type-R (A Powerful FWD Production Car)
   

   

   Civic is one of the vehicles that have a fairly good fan following. Whether the ricers or the tuner, Honda Civic is one of the potent vehicles and comes as a track machine from the factory called the Type-R. Additionally, Honda Civic Type-R is one of the fastest front-wheel-drive cars in the world.

   For you to know, this Honda has the second-fastest lap time around the Nurburgring Track in the Netherlands. Renault Magane RS Trophy broke Civic’s record by around 3 seconds last year.

   Honda Civic Type-R is one of many vehicles that boast what automotive technology and advancements are capable of. That said, a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine powers this hatch. Talking about numbers, the motor produces 316hp of max power and about 400Nm of max torque.

   The numbers don’t sound exciting, but here’s a fact. Honda Civic Type-R can do 0-100kmph in just 5.4 seconds. Plus, the aerodynamic package makes the Civic around a track fast.

5. Toyota RAV4 (One of the Most Fuel-Efficient SUVs)
   

   

   As a car manufacturer, Toyota knows how to utilise its motorsport technology in daily road cars. One just example is the SUV RAV4. But what is so special about this SUV? You may ask. For one, Toyota RAV4 is one of the first SUVs on the globe to run on a hybrid powertrain. Regarding hybrid, RAV4 runs on a 2.5-litre inline 4-cylinder motor that is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

   The combined power output is around 203hp, and the torque stands at 250 Nm. It seems like a normal vehicle, right? The secret lies in the efficiency numbers. Considering the power and torque, the RAV4 delivers about 13 kmpl in the city and 16 kmpl out on the highway because the hybrid powertrain’s overall carbon footprint is way lower than its competition.

6. McLaren P1 (903hp and 980 Nm- 3.8 Twin Turbo V8)
   

   

   Enough talking about efficiency, and let’s leap back to the hypercars. For starters, Hypercars are +1 to the supercars. The supercars are all about power and driving pleasure. But, the environment has to compromise as the driving pleasure is kept on top when handcrafting the supercars.

   McLaren was among the first hypercars to enter the global automotive market. Here is where the environment takes the top spot when it comes to the things to keep in mind when building super-fast cars.

   McLaren P1 combines a downsized turbo petrol engine with an electric motor. This combo, mated to an automatic transmission, drives the rear wheels of the beast. We are talking about specifications, a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V-8 coupled with electric motor power the P1.

   The engine is rated at 727hp, and the electric motor produces 177hp. Both produce a whopping 903 hp and 980 Nm of peak torque. This hypercar can propel from 0-100kmph in just 2.8 seconds.

   The German sports carmaker Porsche recently launched its first all-electric car. The manufacturer showcased the concept in 2015; now, it is a reality. Tesla has finally got some competition, but being a Porsche, it comes with a hefty price tag.

   But don’t worry, you are treated with a potent and short motor for that price. The more powerful Lycan comes with a 616 hp motor. This motor comes in two states of tune; the less powerful can clock a maximum output of about 522 hp and 820 Nm of peak torque.

   The more powerful Turbo S variant gets a similar 670 hp motor that can push up to 750 hp and a whopping 1050 Nm of peak torque. This all-electric car can race 100kmph from a standstill in just 2.8 seconds. The instant torque from the motor pushes the occupants into the seats.

8. Hyundai Sonata (Value For Money Luxury Car)
   

   

   Over the years, the demand for Hyundai Sonata has decreased in India. But when it comes to the International market, Hyundai Sonata is one of the top-selling family sedans.

Well, it has almost all the luxury features one would desire but not digging a deep hole in your pockets.

   Hyundai Sonata offers features like an automated remote parking system, digital key, HUD, Massaging seats and more. Additionally, the top-end trim of the Hyundai Sonata also gets a Hybrid powertrain making it one of the better vehicles for our environment. All these come at an affordable price.

Hyundai Nexo is the first-ever production car to run on hydrogen or fuel cells. In its first long run, Hyundai Nexo covered 778Km without refuelling, in this case, hydrogen.

    The future is here, as the Hyundai Nexo is the first car that saw a CO2 emission reduction of about 111.2kg compared to a vehicle of the same category when travelling 778kms.
