Essentially, the new technology enables drivers to immerse themselves in an augmented virtual world, while still being able to drive and be behind the wheel. This is achieved by a pioneering pair of virtual reality goggles paired with precision GPS tracking.

Only two MINI Cooper Electrics in the entire world (at the time of writing) are equipped with this avant-garde system. They go by cute names too - Jim and Jill.

Experiencing The Future Of Driving With MINI Mixed Reality

IN MINI, MINI Mixed Reality, Mixed Reality, Virtual, VR, Virtual Reality, Augmented, MINI Cooper, Technology

MINI debuted its "MINI Mixed Reality" technology at the international media launch of the all-new MINI Cooper Electric in Sitges, Spain.

MINI's first attempt at building an EV was well, a little bit mixed. Yes, the MINI Electric was agile and had a cosy interior, but the range was frankly pathetic, and it couldn't charge up very quickly.

So, back to the drawing board, and this is attempt number two. The push towards electrification is a necessity driven by stringent regulations demanding a significant increase in the number of electric vehicles globally. MINI is stepping up to the plate, with last year’s electric sales making up 14% of its total.

It was inevitable, wasn’t it? The Porsche 911 will soon be electrified, starting with the Carrera GTS models.

The 3.6-litre engine will be paired with a shiny new 'T-Hybrid' system, an electric motor melded into an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. This adds 53hp and 150Nm of torque at your beck and call.

Slated to succeed the famed Huracán, this model is set to join the ranks of Lamborghini's High-Performance Electrified Vehicles (HPEV). Notable members include the Lamborghini Sian.

Named after a renowned bull, the Huracán embodies courage and versatility, evolving to conquer not just paved roads but also snow, dirt, and sand with its Sterrato variant.

It was also the pioneer model to showcase significant technological advancements like the digital dashboard in the Huracán LP 610-4, the active aerodynamics of the ALA system in the Huracán Performante, and the F1-derived CCM-R brakes in the Huracán STO.

With the new Ferrari 12Cilindri, the famous Italian V12 engine lives on, laughing in the faces of eco-conscious movements.

Aston Martin’s V12-engined behemoths - a line that has defined the zenith of grandeur for a quarter-century.

Of course, the firm doesn’t want to give up on its famed engine any time soon, so it recently unravelled the details of a new updated V12, a powerhouse that not only sustains the legacy of its predecessors but propels it into a new era with unmatched gusto.

Boasting 823hp and 1000Nm of torque, this V12 is the result of an extensive overhaul aimed at enhancing every microscopic detail of the combustion cycle.

The technical ballet performed to bring this engine to life includes fortifying the cylinder block and conrods, revamping cylinder heads, and recalibrating camshafts.

The repositioned spark plugs and new, more voluminous fuel injectors orchestrate a symphony of optimised combustion. Meanwhile, the turbochargers promise a responsiveness that can only be described as telepathic.
