The Suzuki Jimny in Australia has received a special ‘Heritage’ edition, limited to just 500 units. Suzuki says that the Jimny XL Heritage pays homage to the off-roader’s 4x4 history from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
One year ago, Suzuki Australia announced 300 units of the Jimny Heritage special edition which sold out almost immediately. Now, the company applies the same treatment to the five-door Jimny XL, with similar stickers and a limited production of 500 units.The goal of the special edition is to celebrate the “vibrant” history of the nameplate from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, which is why Suzuki calls the Jimny Heritage a “time machine”.

This video is a reminder of the greatness that comes from those exhaust pipes.
The hybrid 911’s lap time of 7:16.934 around the famed 20.8-kilometre Nurburgring Nordschleife race circuit – with sports car driver Jorg Bergmeister at the wheel – is a significant 7.8 seconds faster than the petrol 911 equivalent, says Porsche.
Porsche confirmed Monday morning that the long-awaited Porsche 911 Hybrid will debut on Tuesday, May 28. Depending on who you ask, the first road-going hybrid 911 will be welcomed with either open arms or strong reluctance, but what can't be denied is that Porsche's put its new baby through the ringer to deliver a true 911.
