Most interesting cars of 2017

The year 2017 is slowly coming to an end, with Christmas just around the corner. It is time to slowly start talking about what this year brought to the automotive world. Here is a quick glimpse at what happened this year!


1. Lamborghini Centenario

We are going to kick the list of with a supercar. A 2,000,000$ supercar. Centenario is a car based on an Aventador. The car was made to celebrate the 100th birthday of the company's founder: Ferruccio Lamborghini. The car is powered by a 6.5l v12 engine, producing 770 horsepower, taking the car from 0 to a 100km\h in just 2.8 seconds! There only 40 of these on the road.

2. Tesla Model 3

Now we are going to take a look at something unusual and controversial. The full electric Tesla Model 3, a car manufactured by Elon Musk's car company Tesla, who is also the founder of PayPal and owner of the SpaceX company. It is their 3rd shot at building an electric vehicle. The two previous models are Model S and X (giving us a nice line-up of models S, 3, X). The company is now targetting a wider audience by bulding a car significantly cheaper than in the past. The Model 3's price starts at just 35,000$ and claims an average of about 350km on one charge. The car turned to be such a succes, that people were lining up prior to the car's release to pay a deposit of 1000$ to the dealer to just have a chance on getting one.

3. Audi A8

The latest Audi A8 is the most hi-tech car to be ever produced. It is aimed to steal sales from the market-leading Mercedes S-Class and the amaznig BMW 7 Series. The biggest innovations are what Audi claims to be class-leading Level 3 autonomous driving capabilities. This means that the A8 can drive itself at speeds of up to 37mph if the road has a central barrier to separate it from oncoming traffic. The car also sets the design standard for future Audis, notably in its large front grille. The car offers petrol and diesel engines, along with a hybrid system.


Remember that these are just a few cars that I've choosen for this line-up. There are many other cars worth checking out!
