At the BMW Welt in Munich, Germany, Automotive Rhythms had a chance to witness the much-anticipated BMW 3.0 CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight) which honors the 50th Anniversary of BMW M and its storied racing passion. Fifty of these prestigious and mostly hand-built machines will be produced by a special team of 30 associates at BMW M GmbH in Munich.

The original 3.0 CSL (E9) aka “The Batmobile” was engineered in 1972 and competed in 1973 where it won the Nürburgring 6 Hours driven by Amon and Stuck. A 2015 3.0 CSL concept, on display at the BMW Museum, also served as an inspiration for the newly introduced 50th Anniversary 3.0 CSL by BMW M.

The current RWD BMW 3.0 CSL features unique carbon fiber bodywork, a 560-horsepower 3.0-liter straight 6-cylinder M TwinPower Turbo gas engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, 20” and 21” lightweight

2023 infiniti qx60 sensory awd

Infiniti has undoubtedly had its challenges in the past, but things are looking up thanks to vehicles like the redesigned QX60. After a second brush with the newly redesigned Infiniti QX60, I find that I better understand where the brand is heading, which is a good thing. Looking at the collective of the QX60 and its purpose while overlooking the few shortcomings I can see a bright horizon for Infiniti and the sales figures of the 2022 and 2023 QX60 will prove such, just sit back and wait.

Performance and Driving Character

For the 2023 model year, the Infiniti QX60 remains unchanged from its complete redesign from the 2022 model year.

Thatcham Research: Trust in Automation: US and UK motorists’ behavioural quirks reveal Automated system design challenge

Thatcham Research is today revealing further insights from its Trust in Automation [1]study – which polled 2,000 motorists in the US and 2,000 in the UK – and found a significant disconnect between attitudes and behaviours on either side of the Atlantic.

American drivers are more likely to a see a benefit to self-driving or autonomous technology than British drivers: 81% versus 73% respectively. However, American and British drivers were aligned in seeing accident reduction through the removal of human error (21%) as the greatest potential benefit.

It follows therefore that American drivers are more enthusiastic for the imminent introduction of cars with limited self-driving technology like Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS); 11% stated they would buy a car with self-driving capability as soon as possible versus just 4% in the UK.

Asking drivers what they would miss most about driving a manually operated car also uncovered some
