The Luke Bryan Suburban concept is a rolling ode to camouflage, country music and the South. Chevy's goal was to have a vehicle that had both the utility of a truck and the closed body and extra seating of an SUV. The concept is based on a standard 2018 Chevy Suburban. As such, it still has a 5.3-liter V8 making 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The six-speed automatic sends power to all four wheels. With its trailering package, the Luke Bryan Suburban is capable of towing up to 8,000 pounds. The engine uses a Chevrolet Performance 5.3-liter cold-air intake for a few extra horses. Other mechanical upgrades include six-piston Brembo front brakes, a suspension lift, skid plates, tow hooks and 22-inch wheels with 35-inch tires. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Like Our Facebook Page: https://goo.gl/f1csJP Don't forget to Subscribe: https://goo.gl/pECJ79 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDLmr9yUr5s

Munich-based Sono Motors is moving ahead to develop what it bills as a solar car, the Sion (above), after a highly successful $650,000 crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo last year. While that’s small beans compared to the number of Tesla Model 3 reservations—and very small beans for developing an all-new vehicle that is compliant with regulations—the Sion teases some compelling numbers. Its maker touts a price of about $18,000 for a little hatchback sized about like the Kia Soul. Features include a 107-hp electric motor capable of taking the 3080-pound Sion up to 87 mph, a 1650-pound towing capacity, a 155-mile driving range, and a solar array built into the car’s exterior that can recover up to 19 miles of range per day. Scrutinize the Sion’s specifics a bit more, and it’s clear why that price is so low. “Batteries sold separately” used to be the norm for toys and small electronics in the days before rechargeable everything, but who knew it would ever apply to cars? The Sion will include Level 3 (50 kW) fast charging and even a 7.6-kW power takeoff, but the 35-kWh water-cooled lithium-ion battery—by far the most expensive component in an electric car—would be something you’d lease or buy separately, at a price yet unannounced. “From now on, you’ll never have to worry about range,” proclaims Sono in its marketing. So if it’s this easy, why aren’t solar cars a thing? The answer is that automakers don’t think they can generate enough range from existing solar tech to make it worthwhile. Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) didn’t even bother to include solar in its projections of future vehicle electrification technologies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Like Our Facebook Page: https://goo.gl/f1csJP Follow Us On Instagram: https://goo.gl/bb7R9U Don't forget to Subscribe: https://goo.gl/pECJ79 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEh-wsWH-ts
