Young Driver Launches Exclusive Collection to Inspire and Train 10-17 Year-Olds

Young Driver Exclusive Collection offers under-17s 1:1 tuition in high-end sports and luxury cars Certified instructors ensure kids experience these cars safely Aims to further develop young drivers’ skills after initial training in Corsas Balsall Common – Young Driver, the UK’s top driving school for under-17s, has introduced the Youth Driver Exclusive Collection, a new program designed to excite 10-17 year-olds about driving while enhancing their car-control skills beyond what they learn in Vauxhall Corsas. The collection allows youngsters to drive one of three prestigious vehicles: a Porsche 911 Carrera 4, a Mercedes-Benz SL 500, or a Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Each vehicle is equipped with dual controls. During a personalized 30-minute session with an ADI-certified instructor (Approved Driving Instructor), participants will get hands-on experience behind the wheel of these high-performance cars. “We want young people to rediscover their excitement for driving,” said Ian Mulingani, Managing Director at Young Driver. “Our Corsa sessions are already popular for engaging kids before they hit the road. The Youth Driver Exclusive Collection will elevate that experience.” “This initiative aims to normalize early-age driving as an essential life skill and reduce accident rates among newly licensed drivers,” he added. While Young Driver has previously tested the Bentley at its events across 70 UK locations, both the Porsche and Mercedes are new additions. The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 features a powerful six-cylinder engine producing 320bhp and all-wheel drive through a six-speed manual gearbox. Known globally as an iconic sports car, it promises an exhilarating ride. Similarly thrilling is the Mercedes SL500 with its robust V8 engine delivering 429bhp via a seven-speed automatic transmission. This model also offers convertible roof-down motoring when weather permits. For those seeking ultimate luxury, Youth Driver Exclusive’s Bentley Continental Flying Spur boasts a formidable twelve-cylinder engine generating up to552bhpand all-wheel-drive capabilities througha six-speed automatic gearbox.Its speed-sensitive steeringand parking sensors makeit surprisingly easyto handle despiteits size.

Frank Stippler Sets New Lap Record on Nürburgring-Nordschleife with Audi RS 3 Pre-Production Model

7:33.123 minutes: New Audi RS 3 Preproduction Model Sets Lap Record with Iconic Five-Cylinder Engine Enhanced Chassis Setup Boosts Cornering Speeds, Key to Success For more details, visit Audi Press UK Ingolstadt, June 21, 2024 – Frank Stippler has shattered the Nürburgring-Nordschleife lap record in a pre-production model of the upgraded RS 3. The Audi Sport driver clocked an impressive time of 7:33.123 minutes, surpassing the previous fastest lap in this class by over five seconds. This achievement reaffirms that the enhanced top model from the A3 series is once again the quickest compact car. The record was achieved thanks to optimized cornering behavior, allowing the new RS 3 to exhibit its agility earlier and more controlled. Frank Stippler explained, “This was crucial for our success. The new RS 3 turns in more eagerly at corner entry due to fine-tuning—including brake torque vectoring—enabling better positioning for corner exit from apex onwards. This results in a lower steering angle from apex to exit, reducing friction and enabling earlier acceleration for greater momentum onto each straight.” The vehicle’s exceptional driving dynamics stem from a synergy between its torque splitter with fully variable rear-wheel torque distribution, electronic stabilization control (ESC), wheel-selective torque control (brake torque vectoring), and optional adaptive dampers on the RS sports suspension. An improved algorithm now connects data from all lateral dynamics components with heightened sensitivity. Power continues to come from the legendary five-cylinder engine delivering 400PS and 500Nm of torque. Paired with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R semi-slick tires, a ceramic brake system on its19-inch wheels , adaptive damper-controlled RS sports suspension ,and an optimized chassis setup;the2 .5 TFSI propelsRS evenmore spiritedly around bends—all accentuated by its signature deep-throated roar courtesyofits1-2-4-5 -firing sequence . p > < pstyle = ” text – align :left ;” > Theupgraded productionmodeloftheRS willbeavailabletoorderfromendAugust . p > < tableborder =”0″style =”width :99 .99 % ;height :537 .6 px ;float:left;” > < / div > < / body > < / html >

BYD sees a 53% spike in demand due to Euros partnership; now the second most viewed new electric brand on Auto Trader, surpassing Tesla which is fourth. 21st June 2024 – Despite a dip in retail registrations, consumer interest in new cars remains strong. Auto Trader has reported a 28.5% year-on-year (YoY) increase in visits to its new car platform this June, marking the highest YoY growth seen over two years. This surge is driven by an expanded selection and better affordability as brands adapt to regulatory targets, increased competition, and higher production levels amidst slowing retail sales. The number of new cars listed on Auto Trader grew significantly recently—up by 8% from April to May—and rose over 21% since January within just the first two weeks of June alone. While base RRPs are rising, buyers benefit from overall price reductions with more than half (53%) of all models seeing gradual price drops over the past year. Average discounts have increased from 6.4% last year to 8.8%, with nearly eight out of ten new cars offering some discount and seven out of ten featuring finance offers. The Impact of BYD’s Euros Partnership As per data based on around two million monthly visitors: During the opening weekend of Euro 2024, Chinese electric vehicle brand BYD saw a massive rise—69%—in advert views compared to the previous week.
