Genesis' Model S rival, Porsche's updated 911 Turbo, and GM's Ultra Cruise all made headlines today.
Genesis is in the process of launching its first electric vehicles. Among them is an electric G80, and we just tested it. Despite being based on a modified version of the gas-powered G80's platform, the new Electrified G80 is one of the best offerings in the mid-size electric sedan segment.
Porsche is working on a mid-cycle update for the current 992 generation of the 911. One of the changes that will take place is the introduction of hybrid technology on some models. One of the models that will go the hybrid route is the 911 Turbo S, and we just spotted some prototypes. General Motors will roll out its Ultra Cruise automated driver-assist system later this year, and the automaker has detailed some of the hardware that the system will use. Ultra Cruise is a more advanced version of the current Super Cruise system, and according to GM it will function on 95% of the nation's roads.Electrified G80 deftly trades gas for electrons

Used PORSCHE CARRERA GT CARRERA GT 2004 for saleThe Porsche Carrera GT can trace its roots back to a stillborn racing program in the late 1990s, when Porsche sought to produce a new Le Mans prototype to replace the GT1. Originally intended to be powered by a 5.5-liter V-10, a change in FIA rules shelved Porsche's racing plans while the model was in development. Porsche believed it could adapt the platform for use on the road if the car could not be used for racing. The Carrera GT was first seen in concept form on Porsche's stand at the Paris Motor Show in 2000. The concept received a massive amount of attention. With additional revenue thanks to the then-new Cayenne SUV, Porsche decided to proceed with production going head-to-head with the Ferrari Enzo, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, and even the Ford GT. Notable technology includes a full carbon fibre monocoque and subframe produced by ATR Composites of Colonna, Italy. The Carrera GT was also fitted with a racing-derived suspension with upper and lower wishbones and inboard, and rocker-arm suspension at all four corners. Ventilated and cross-drilled carbon-ceramic brakes are surrounded by forged magnesium alloy centre lock wheels. While Porsche planned a 1,500-unit production run, only 1,270 examples were delivered beginning in 2004 and ending on May 6, 2006. A total of 644 units were sold in the United States, 31 units in Canada and 49 units in the UK. This is car No.0063. This Carrera GT was delivered by Porsche Centre Antibes in July 2004. In GT Silver with Ascot Brown & Black GT Seats it features 19/20' magnesium centre lock wheels, Porsche Ceramic Composite brakes, a Porsche Online Pro CD player, the Porsche crest embossed into the headrests, electric windows & mirrors, LED rear lights, Bi-Xenon headlights, a retractable electric rear spoiler and an onboard computer. It also benefits from a sports exhaust and KW Hydraulic lift kit. Carrera GT No.0063 has driven 11,984 miles from new. Features GT Silver Ascot Brown & Black GT Bucket Seats 5.7 Litre V10 Naturall
