A solar-charged car has driven a record 1,000 km

The world's first solar-powered car, capable of driving long distances off-road without recharging, has successfully completed a test run through Morocco and the Sahara. The two-seater Stella Terra has driven a record 1,000 km, Ferra reports.

The machine was developed by students at the Eindhoven University of Technology.
The Stella Terra runs on energy from multiple solar panels on the roof, has a top speed of 145 km/h, weighs just 1.2 tonnes and has a range of at least 710 km on a sunny day.
The vehicle has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that allows it to operate in less sunny conditions but over shorter distances.
The students behind the project hope their development will inspire major car companies to create more environmentally friendly vehicles.

Toyota announced the electric sports coupe FT-Se

Toyota Corporation will present the FT-Se concept sports car and the FT-3e crossover at the exhibition in Tokyo. This was reported by the automaker's press service.

When designing the FT-Se electric sports car, developments from the Toyota Gazoo Racing (GR) sports division were used. The squat and wide coupe body is designed to reduce aerodynamic drag. The front fascia is set low to provide the driver with good visibility.
It was announced that the car will receive an electric powertrain, but the automaker does not disclose the technical characteristics of the model.
The FT-3e crossover is distinguished by simple and concise body lines. Inside the car there is an abundance of digital displays on the outer surface of the body, displaying information about battery charge, temperature and air quality in the cabin, visible when the driver approaches the car.

A new brutal Toyota with a record payload has been presented

Toyota presented a brutal SUV called Toyota Hilux GR Sport II. Sales will start in the first half of 2024, and deliveries will begin in the second.

The new Toyota Hilux Double Cab features improved handling and stability, the highest payload capacity in its class (1000 kg) and the ability to tow a trailer weighing up to 3500 kg, as well as a larger wheel track - 140 mm at the front and 155 mm at the rear compared to the usual Toyota Hilux.
Toyota claims it is "the best version of the Hilux for on- and off-road driving thanks to wider tread and significant improvements in handling characteristics, such as increased vehicle stability through reduced roll angle and precise steering response." Optimized handling, reduced noise, and improvements to the suspension and brakes are also announced.

The powerful and proven 2.8-litre engine introduced to the Hilux range in 2020 produces 204bhp. and torque 500 Nm. It is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Toyota Hilux GR Sport II features new 17-inch wheels, red brake discs, black painted wheel arch trims, a black mesh grille with the classic Toyota logo, and side skirts, mirrors, door handles and rear bumper also painted in black color.

Toyota announced the premiere of the new generation Camry model

Toyota published a teaser of the future car on the Internet with the caption “A new dawn is coming.” The company did not explain which car we are talking about, but most likely the picture shows the new Toyota Camry. There are several signs that indicate this.

Firstly, the new Camry is expected to be released in 2024, and the timing of the teaser is well in line with this plan. Let us remind you that the current Camry XV70 debuted in 2017 and was restyled in 2020. But by industry standards, she's already an old lady.

Secondly, although the picture is darkened, the silhouette of the car in the image is still similar to a Camry. But the headlights seem to be borrowed from the new Prius.
The public debut of the new generation Camry could take place as early as this year: either at the SEMA 2023 tuning show (to be held from October 31 to November 4), or at the Los Angeles Auto Show (from November 17 to November 27). Both events are North American, and this is significant: it is in the USA that the Camry is still a hit despite its age.
