New VW ID.7 EV has nearly 400-mile range and an AR heads-up display
The new VW ID.7 EV has an impressive range
2024 Volkswagen ID.7 flagship EV is rated for nearly 400 miles per charge.

The results of Volkswagen's electric car investment are coming faster now. Like other large automakers, Volkswagen's promised transition to electric vehicles took a while to start putting production EVs in customers' driveways. The overall pace of EV launches is picking up, even if sales volumes are backing off a bit -- such is the pace of progress. On November 13, VW announced its new EV flagship model, the 2024 Volkswagen ID.7.

There's a lot to talk about with the ID.7 announcement, and it will probably be a few months into 2024 before VW delivers the first cars to customers in the U.S. According to the vehicle launch announcement, the ID.7 will have a new power unit, advanced driver interface technology, and sumptuous luxury features. However, the ID.7's headline attraction is the driving range per charge.
2024 Volkswagen ID.7 range
According to VW, the ID.7 Pro with an 82 kWh battery has a WLTP range per charge of 386 miles. Let's start with disclaimers. While a hefty number, 386 miles isn't the same as 400 miles, it's nearly there. The second qualification is that the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) rating VW quoted is a European mileage standard typically more optimistic than the U.S. EPA ratings. The consensus is that WLTP ratings are roughly 20% greater than EPA ranges. If that's the case with the ID.7,  the EPA ratings will likely be closer to 300 than 386 miles.

It's been five years since Ginetta revealed a concept for a race-inspired Akula supercar for the road. The production run of 20 vehicles has begun, and Ginetta is taking reservations for the small number of slots still available. A 600-horsepower, naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine powers the Akula like a race car to its maximum 180 mph+ speed. Torque maxes out at 474 lb-ft at 5,100 RPM and can blast the Akula from 0 to 62.2 mph in 2.9 seconds.
Why the Ginetta Akula is important

Ginetta was founded 66 years ago, but in 2004, Dr. Lawrence Tomlinson, a race driver and entrepreneur, bought the company. Tomlinson, who was victories in the 24 hours of Le Mans endurance race in the GT2 class in 2006, was heavily involved in the design and development of the Akula, According to Ginetta, Tomlinson participated in every stage, including track tests. Tomlinson has also claimed production #1 of the ultra-limited run.
