SPY: The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A 25 AMG 'glides Gently' On The Slippery N眉rburgring
Mercedes-Benz is about to introduce the new A 25 AMG shortly after the market launch of the new generation A-Class in September. The 2013 A 25 AMG will sport a newly engineered powerplant at the High Performance Powertrains department in Brixworth, UK: experts and technicians used F1 know-how to tweak the engine for maximum performance. While the total displacement of just two litres might not sound very moving, then prepare to hear the rumored value for the peak output: 350 hp. The impressive amount of power is achieved through high-pressure supercharging and intelligent cylinder management. Handling the situation will be easier for the compact A 25 AMG as the car is set to premiere a new 4x4 platform enhanced to deliver an optimal ride and added grip under any condition. The 350 ponnies will reach the four wheels with the help of a double-clutch, 7-speed automatic transmission similar to those found on the C 63 AMG or SLS AMG.
Anyone who has used a modern smartphone or tablet will be very familiar with the idea of "text suggestions" to speed up the input of text on a software keyboard. Whilst I personally don't make regular use of this feature, it's comforting to know it's there if I should need it. Of course, those with accessibility needs find features like this invaluable and I was talking to educators last week who specialize in this area and was asked whether Windows 10 supported "text suggestions" or "word complete". It's worth noting, as I've highlighted in the screenshot above, that for now this is only supported when the keyboard is set to US English. Talking with the product team, they are looking to expand support for this include other English keyboards and, ideally, other languages. So What Does It Look Like? The only application that I had difficulty with was the Chrome Web Browser which I believe is built on the Electron framework which uses the legacy IMM32 for input and doesn't support intelligent features like text suggestions for Hardware Keyboards. Why Does This Matter? For many people, they don't think twice about entering text into their computer with a keyboard, rarely pausing to correct spelling. However, for many students having assistance in this area, either with spelling help, or indeed reducing the physical process of typing every single key is of tremendous assistance. Adding text suggestions natively into Windows 10 also saves organisations considerable money, as the educators I was talking to last week suggested that software extensions to enable this often costs in the hundreds of dollars. I've written before how accessibility is at the heart of Microsoft solutions and this relatively new feature further shows this commitment.
Audi鈥檚 journey to this third-generation A8 began in 1988 with the Audi V8, the world鈥檚 first pure luxury all-wheel-drive saloon.This unlovely and glacially slow-selling car was, bravely, replaced by a car boasting an aluminium spaceframe and body. You need very little time in Audi鈥檚 latest A8 to confirm the scope of its ambition. Most A8s will be seen on the chauffeur circuit with diesel badges on their boot, either a 3.0-litre V6 or 4.2-litre V8. There are also 3.0 TFSI, 4.2 FSI and whopping 6.3-litre W12 petrols to choose from. Then there are either SE or SE Executive trim levels and long or standard wheelbase models. Every version currently gets quattro four-wheel drive. To achieve its aims, this A8 needed to avoid the trap that snared its predecessors; these were cars whose strongest suit was their styling, meaning you鈥檇 savoured the best of it before you set off. This A8 needs to be even better than it looks.
London has been confirmed as the venue for the season finale of the 2019-20 Formula E campaign, which will be expanded to 14 races for the first time. The sixth season will also see the calendar expanded to 14 races, with South Korean capital Seoul becoming the latest major city to embrace the rapidly growing motorsport. More races and new faces, with the incredible new additions of Seoul and London, as well as the inclusion of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. London will conclude the season with an ePrix double-header on July 25-26, 2020 at a new circuit at the ExCel centre. The 2.4km track will feature a unique indoor stadium section as well as taking in the waterfront of the Royal Docks. Formula E, which is based in Britain, left the UK after residents in Battersea complained about disruption to the local area, with more than 50,000 spectators attended the event.
