It claims up to 401 miles WLTP and a best-ever Audi efficiency of 4.85 miles/kWh on the 188-hp efficiency-package version, with rear-wheel drive only, 52/61 kWh LFP or 84 kWh NMC batteries charging at 183 kW (10–80% in about 29 minutes), a Q4 e-tron wheelbase for extra interior space, and standard bidirectional charging.ICCT SAYS ELECTRIC CARS COST ONE THIRD LESSAn ICCT report published on September 6 found electric cars cost a third less to run in Europe in 2025 than petrol or diesel equivalents, or 28% less for drivers relying on public charging, with combustion energy costs rising 12–36% at the start of 2026 during the US-Iran Hormuz oil crisis while BEV energy costs held steady. The ICCT also found price parity with petrol cars in Germany's three largest segments based on data covering 100,000 vehicles, and lead author Marie Rajon Bernard expects European BEV adoption to scale up provided current policies survive growing political pressure to reverse them.YOUNG DRIVERS SAY PETROL CARS ARE LIKE USING A LANDLINE TELEPHONEResearch commissioned by E.ON Next among 1,500 drivers found more than half of those aged 17 to 20 want their next car to be electric, against a UK BEV new-car share of 26% from January to August, with cost the main draw: 56% think EVs save money, 20% cite day-to-day affordability, 19% home charging and 18% avoiding forecourts. Petrol is increasingly seen as obsolete, with 23% calling petrol ownership as outdated as a landline telephone, 21% unable to imagine owning one, 63% expecting petrol and diesel cars to disappear in their lifetime and 53% believing they are the last generation to routinely drive them.EUROPE'S EV FLEET HOLDS 600 GWH OF BATTERIESBruegel estimates Europe's EV fleet holds around 600 GWh of battery capacity, ten times the continent's grid-connected storage and theoretically enough to power the European grid for almost two hours, though that depends on vehicle-to-grid technology and smart integration still under development. Stationary storage is growing separately, with SolarPower Europe reporting cumulative European capacity passing 100 GWh by the end of 2025 after 36 GWh was added during the year, 48% more than in 2024, and calling for a tenfold increase by 2030.LI AUTO PLANS EUROPEAN I6 DEBUTLi Auto will unveil its i6 electric SUV in Europe at the Paris motor show in October, with founder and CEO Xiang Li saying European sales begin in the fourth quarter and right-hand-drive sales start by year-end, making a UK launch likely though it has not been confirmed. Britain matters as an export market because it does not apply the EU's additional tariffs on Chinese cars, and the 4950mm i6 will compete with the BMW iX3, Mercedes GLC and Volvo EX60.AVILOO EXTENDS BATTERY WARRANTY TO 24 EUROPEAN COUNTRIESAVILOO added 14 markets to its Battery Warranty on September 7, 2026, including Spain, Italy, Poland and Greece, taking coverage to 24 countries in response to used-EV buyer confidence lagging market growth and to manufacturer battery-health figures being neither independently verified nor standardised. The one-year warranty, separate from AVILOO's battery certificate and managed by dealers, fleets and remarketing platforms through the AVILOO Connect dashboard, sets an individual State of Health threshold per vehicle from proprietary diagnostics data that the battery must still meet at 20,000 kilometres.OSPREY GO STARTS CHARGING ON CONNECTIONOsprey has launched Osprey Go, an Autocharge-based function that starts a charging session as soon as a driver plugs in, requiring no app or payment card at the charger after a one-time setup in the Osprey app, and automatically applying the best available price for that location and time. Users can view receipts, live prices, charger availability and offers, and Osprey says the Autocharge choice maximises vehicle and driver compatibility and makes it the country's largest network offering the technology.RUSSIA EV SALES MORE THAN DOUBLE IN SUMMERAutostat reports Russian sales of new electric and plug-in hybrid passenger cars reached 26,543 units from June to August 2026, more than double the 12,187 sold a year earlier, as Ukrainian strikes on major refineries forced some to suspend operations and cut gasoline production to about 70% of domestic consumption by the end of August. Drivers facing hours-long fuel searches turned to EVs or gas conversions, though Autostat said sales were capped by supply because manufacturers and importers were unprepared, and the vehicles sold were mainly Chinese-made.PORT AUTHORITY LAUNCHES $45M ELECTRIC TRUCK PROGRAMMEThe Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has launched a $45m programme for zero-emission drayage trucks and terminal tractors at the Port of New York and New Jersey, the busiest seaport on the US East Coast, combining vehicle purchase support with charging investment near its marine terminals. CALSTART will design and administer the Clean Truck Incentive Program and the Green Drayage Accelerator, with up to $39m in point-of-sale vouchers covering vehicles and charging infrastructure at hubs within a 10-mile radius of the Port Authority's marine terminals.TREK LAUNCHES ALLANT+ FS E-BIKE IN EUROPETrek has launched the 2027 Allant+ FS in Europe, a full-suspension SUV-style e-bike aimed at Specialized's Turbo Vado 3X, using the same Bosch Performance Line CX mid-drive with 250 W nominal and 750 W peak output, 120 Nm of torque and assistance cutting out at 25 km/h. A Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery gives a claimed 180 km (112 miles) per charge, with the R11 priced at €5,999 and the R10 at €4,999.

Editorial note: This session was recorded at BNC#9 on Thursday 13 August 2026. In the days after this Q&A, the FSCA announced 20-year debarment orders against Warren Wheatley and two colleagues over share trading in Altvest Capital (Africa Bitcoin Corporation's predecessor) in September 2022, along with a combined R10 million in administrative penalties. Wheatley has resigned from the board; Stafford Masie, referenced throughout this session, is now interim CEO. All three dispute the findings and are seeking reconsideration from the Financial Services Tribunal. Nothing in this Q&A relates to that matter, which concerns trades from roughly four years before this conversation, but readers should have that context. See the flags section of the publish package for detail and sourcing. At BNC#9, Warren Wheatley told David Shapiro that Bitcoin has become boring, and he meant it as a compliment. The Africa Bitcoin Corporation founder walked through the mechanics: borrowing dollars from a European bank at 3%, using the money to buy Bitcoin, then lending to South African SMEs at 18%, less than half what most of them pay elsewhere. He explained the loan-to-value discipline that keeps it safe, why he'd rather fund a farmer hiring 80 people than a two-person AI unicorn, and what he thinks the Reserve Bank's draft crypto rules would do to the industry if they pass as written. He also covered how Bitcoin miners quietly became a buffer for AI data centres, what Eskom missed out on, and his own advice on keeping Bitcoin safe.

Ryan Wormeli Derek Brown, Tera Roberts, and special guest Rich Hribar of Sharp Football run through a 12-team 2026 fantasy football Superflex mock draft, breaking down the biggest decisions fantasy managers will face on draft day. They also dig into some of the most important late-draft decisions, including MarShawn Lloyd's upside, C.J. Stroud's bounce-back potential, George Kittle's value, Daniel Jones as a QB2, Jonathan Brooks, Christian Watson, Quentin Johnston and late-round quarterback fliers. After the draft, the crew checks the FantasyPros draft grades, identifies the strongest roster builds, and explains what they would change if they could make their picks again. Most importantly, Rich and D-Bro explain why there isn't one universal Superflex quarterback strategy: understanding your league, anticipating QB runs, and knowing which quarterbacks you're comfortable targeting later can completely change how you should draft. If you're preparing for a 2026 Superflex fantasy football draft, this mock gives you a round-by-round look at QB strategy, roster construction, sleepers, values, and how to react when the draft doesn't go according to plan.

Chris Welsh, Derek Brown, Tera Roberts and the Fantasy Dude jump into the Fantasy Pros Draft Wizard for a full standard-league mock draft, looking for the biggest differences from PPR formats. The key theme throughout the draft is simple: touchdown equity matters. The crew debates whether Derrick Henry belongs in the first round, why Saquon Barkley gets a boost, how to value running backs in a format where receptions don't count, and why players such as Kyren Williams, Javonte Williams and Mike Evans become especially intriguing. They also dig into quarterback strategy, late-round RB values, Stefon Diggs as a potential steal, tight end targets, handcuffs, kicker and defense timing, and the best late-round sleepers. If you're playing in a 2026 standard or non-PPR fantasy football league, this is a mock draft you don't want to miss.

Fired from a small quarrying company in 2005 for pitching an idea a lawyer called "unlistable," Andries van Heerden went and built it anyway. Twenty years on, that idea is Afrimat: a R10 billion JSE-listed miner spanning iron ore, manganese, anthracite, rare earths and now cement, after last year's Lafarge acquisition. At BNC#9, the man rated by his peers as South Africa's best miner lays out the deals, the near-misses, and the culture overhaul it took to get there, then turns to what's actually hurting Afrimat right now. It isn't the cement plant everyone warned him about. It's the slow unravelling of South African industry itself.

Child support is often a contentious issue in separated families. More often than not, the issue involves one of the parties paying too little or nothing at all in maintenance.

South Africa is not only dealing with a National Shutdown this week, but also with a couple of political hand grenades. In his latest chat to Chris Steyn, political commentator Solly Moeng his gives take on the alleged assassination attempt on Crime Intelligence (CI) boss General Feroz Khan just days before he was due at the Madlanga Commission, which heard testimony today that allies of the General had offered MKP MP Vusi Shongwe a R10-million bribe to back off pursuing testimony from him; as well as bombshell allegations from embittered former Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen. “...Who owns the truth? Do political leaders and other office bearers take decisions because they really came to a point of being informed that this was good for South Africa, or are they doing it because somebody else is paying somebody else to convince them that's the way to go?” Moeng also comments on breaking news of violence erupting between marchers and residents in Yeoville amid relative calm on National Shut Down day.

In this interview with Irakli of BizNews, Currency co-founder Giulietta Talevi unpacks the April 23 letter from Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to Joburg Mayor Dada Morero, which laid bare the city's "shocking" financial picture: just R3.9bn in cash against R25bn owed to creditors. "Technically, you would say that it's bankrupt now, and cannot afford an excessively expensive wage deal," Talevi says of the R10.3bn SAMWU agreement at the heart of the dispute. She explains why Moody's downgrade watch is really about governance — not just numbers — pointing out that the city's failure to produce its audited financial statements "indicates serious deterioration in governance, and not just Joburg's financial health." Two deadlines loom: audited financials owed to the JSE by May 31, and a R1.4bn bond repayment due June 22. Talevi explains that because the debt is unsecured, all creditors "are treated equally" — meaning a single default event could trigger every lender to call in their loans simultaneously. She also raises the spectre of moral hazard, citing Chartis Asset Management's Ian Scott on what he calls a "treasury-funded put" — the idea that bailing out Joburg signals to leadership that they "can mess up, you can collapse the financial situation of the country's biggest Metro… and we'll bail you out because you're too big to fail." When Irakli draws a parallel to the e-toll saga, Talevi agrees taxpayers are "on the hook again" — paying their taxes only to face additional costs for the basic services those taxes were meant to fund.

Everyone agrees that small and medium enterprises are the backbone of the South African economy. But the reality on the ground tells a different story – too many small businesses are still running on spreadsheets and WhatsApp, locked out of the tools that could help them compete. In this episode of TCS+, TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod is joined in-studio by two members of the recently established Vodacom Business advisory board: Sannesh Beharie, managing executive of SME and mobile products at Vodacom Business, and Andrew Fulton, co-founder of data analytics firm Eighty20, a Vodacom Business partner. Vodacom Business set up its advisory board last year to bridge the gap between enterprise-grade technology and the small businesses that need it most, bringing together tech leaders and external specialists to help companies – as well as SMEs – navigate digital transformation. In the conversation, McLeod, Beharie and Fulton dig into what's actually stopping small businesses from going digital, whether bundled connectivity and cloud offerings are genuinely good for SMEs or just a polite way of locking them in, and where AI fits into the picture for a 20-person business in South Africa. They also tackle how Vodacom Business positions itself against the likes of AWS, Google and Microsoft in the SME market, where a small business owner should spend their first R10 000 a month on tech, and the most common mistakes SMEs make when they do invest in technology. Don't miss the discussion on what a genuinely SME-first solution looks like – and whether the tech industry is guilty of designing for corporates and simply shrinking solutions down for smaller businesses. * TCS+ episodes are sponsored by the party concerned TechCentral

The General Industries Workers Union of South Africa, GIWUSA says the government's temporary R3 fuel levy reduction falls far short of what is needed. President Mametlwe Sebei says while the move shows government recognises the crisis, it does little against a R6 petrol and R10 diesel hike. Sebei says working-class families will still bear the brunt of the increases. The union is repeating its call for a full suspension of all fuel taxes.

Today's Daily Friend Show with Nicholas Lorimer and Hermann Pretorius. They discuss the disruption of a council meeting in Maluti-a-phofung and the R10 billion spending package on municipal workers in Joburg. Website · Facebook · Instagram · Twitter

The Democratic Alliance has moved to urgently interdict what it describes as a R10 billion "politically facilitated agreement" between the City of Johannesburg and the South African Municipal Workers' Union. The dispute follows the recent adjustment budget, which the DA says exposes serious risks to Johannesburg's financial sustainability. At the centre of the controversy is a wage-related agreement that could cost more than the City's entire annual infrastructure budget. To discuss this further, Elvis Presslin spoke to Helen Zille, the Chairperson of the Federal Council of the Democratic Alliance and the DA's official mayoral candidate for Johannesburg

Ons staar volgende week reuse brandstofprysverhogings in die gesig. Dit lyk soos amper R6 per liter petrol en meer as R10 per liter diesel. Daar was menigte oproepe om die impak hiervan te versag deur die vehogings in die brandstofheffing en koolstofbelasting uit te stel, of selfs te skrap. Die styging in die heffings is saam 21 sent per liter. Ek sien nie so vinnig ʼn betroubare raaiskoot van hoeveel ekstra belasting-inkomste die verhoging begroot is om te lewer nie, maar een raming is rondom R2,13 miljard. In die totale Begroting is die nie baie nie en deur net uit te stel kan die regering net ʼn deel daarvan verloor. Dit lyk egter nie of dit gaan gebeur nie en daar is belangrike redes om nie met prysseine te mors nie.

The South African Post Office has been in business rescue – a form of bankruptcy protection – since July 2023. Business rescue practitioners Anoosh Rooplal and Juanito Damons have made it clear to parliament that the entity will not survive liquidation unless a R3.8-billion bailout is received soon. With some 5 500 jobs on the line, the big question is: is the Post Office worth saving? Rooplal spoke to TechCentral's Nathi Ndlovu and was asked that question. In this episode of the TechCentral Show, Rooplal talks about: • The case for the bailout: The business rescue practitioners have already received R2.4-billion from government, while bailouts for the Post Office over the past decade amount to nearly R10-billion. Rooplal attempts to answer why this latest funding request is worth it. • The current state of the Post Office: Rooplal outlines what the R2.4-billion tranche was used for and what the R3.8-billion request would do, if provided. He also details what the future state of the entity might look like and how, without much in terms of income, salaries are currently being paid. • The need for a state-owned postal service: Even if national treasury were to agree to save the Post Office, does it have a place in a modern digital economy? • External funding and asset sales: If the business case for the Post Office's revival is so strong, why have the businesses rescue practitioners not sold or rationalised assets or gone to the open market for funding? • Social grants and Post Bank: Rooplal explains what would happen to the many grant recipients processed via the Post Office should it not survive business rescue. • Private sector partnerships: The department of communications & digital technologies in November issued a request for information seeking private sector partnership proposals. Rooplal explains the “chicken and egg” problem at the core those discussions. • No more options: Chapter 6 of the Companies Act compels business rescue practitioners to file for liquidation if they see “no reasonable prospect” of rescue. Rooplal explains why he and his associate, Damons, are close to pulling the trigger. Don't miss the discussion! TechCentral

Stephen Grootes speaks to Ben Magara, CEO of Exxaro Resources about their latest results, which reflect a resilient performance despite weaker coal prices, with headline earnings per share up 8% and revenue edging higher on disciplined cost management. The results come at a strategic inflection point for the group as it pivots beyond coal, highlighted by its R10.6 billion acquisition of a stake in the Tshipi Borwa manganese mine positioning Exxaro in a key energy transition mineral alongside continued investment in renewable energy through its Cennergi division. With a higher dividend and a shift in capital allocation, the focus now turns to execution, integrating new assets and driving growth in a more diversified portfolio. In other interviews, Thabile Nkunjana, Agricultural economist talks about the growing risks to global fertiliser markets and food security as conflict in the Middle East disrupts key supply routes and production hubs. With a significant share of the world’s fertiliser trade moving through the Strait of Hormuz, supply constraints are already pushing prices sharply higher particularly for nitrogen-based products like urea that are critical for crop yields. We look how rising input costs could filter through to farmers, squeeze margins, and ultimately impact food prices, especially in import-reliant countries like South Africa, where the knock-on effects could be felt across the entire agricultural value chain.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have four stories for you this week: Part 108 NPRM updates, Skydio unveils two new drones for specialized operations, Auterion secures a massive $130 million in funding, and an update to the story about the Super Scooper mid-air collision. Let's get to it.First, let's talk about some Part 108 NPRM stuff. The deadline is approaching for submitting your comment. Please take the time to write a comment about how this would affect your ability to fly BVLOS. There are currently 800 comments ONLY. There were over 50,000 comments on the Remote ID NPRM.DJI sounded the alarm this week on the NPRM. The company is warning that the rules, as they're currently written, could effectively ground the vast majority of drones being used today, not just DJIs, and sideline thousands of skilled pilots. While everyone agrees we need a clear path forward for BVLOS, DJI points out some fundamental problems in the draft.If you haven't yet written your comment for Part 108, time is running out. All comments must be submitted by October 6th, 2025.Next up, American drone manufacturer Skydio is expanding its lineup with two new specialized drones. The Skydio R10 is designed for tactical indoor situations where you wouldn't want to send a person. It's a compact, 10-by-10-inch quadcopter that weighs 1.7 pounds and has built-in blade guards for navigating tight and/or dangerous spaces. It offers features for first responders, including onboard lighting, a two-way audio system to communicate with suspects or victims, and Skydio's obstacle avoidance for flying in complete darkness. The R10 is slated for early access this autumn.Then there's the F10, which is built for speed and endurance. This is a fixed-wing drone that can hit speeds of over 80 miles per hour and stay airborne for more than 90 minutes. This is a good fit for large-scale BVLOS missions like monitoring wildfires or conducting long search and rescue operations. The F10 is scheduled for release in the first half of 2026. Both of these drones also integrate into the X10 ecosystem, using the same software, controllers, and workflows. It'll be interesting to see if we can get our hands on these to put them to the test. Next up, Auterion has secured a massive $130 million in Series B funding to scale its defense software. The company, which began with open-source drone software, has evolved into a major defense contractor. They're creating an operating system for autonomous systems across air, land, and sea. According to reports, their technology is already being used on the battlefield in Ukraine, where they are delivering tens of thousands of AI "strike kits" under a Pentagon contract. This new funding will help Auterion expand its work on AI-enabled software for large-scale, coordinated drone operations. And finally, an update to last week's story about the drone that hit the firefighting airplane in LA earlier this year. We found out that Peter Akemann is facing jail time and a staggering $156,000 fine after crashing his DJI Mini 3 Pro into a firefighting airplane.

Hay coches ya clásicos cuyas cotizaciones, a mi modo de ver, se han disparado. Para mí, pese a que sean maravillosos, no valen lo que cuestan. ¡Pero!... hay alternativas. Hay modelos y versiones que, de acuerdo, no son lo mismo. Pero se le acercan. Y sobre todo… ¡cuestan mucho menos! Auténticas “Compras Maestras”. ¿Qué no puede faltar en un buen video dedicado a los clásicos? Está clarísimo… ¡el consultorio clásico!” En este video tenemos a Jaime Sánchez de “Seat en Rodaje”. Audi Quattro: ¿Has pensado en el Coupé GT B2? ¿Te parece caro un Quattro de los primeros por 50.000 €? Pues si encuentras uno en buen estado por ese precio, ¡cómpralo! Es un chollo. Y el Coupé GT puede costar la cuarta parte… no, no es lo mismo, sobre todo si tu idea es invertir. Para disfrutar de un clásico, el Coupé me parece más que suficiente. BMW M3 E30: ¿Has pensado en el 325i? Las versiones especiales superan, en ocasiones con holgura, los 100.000 € y los “normales” están sobre los 80.000 €. ¿Estamos locos? Fijaos, este M3 tenía motor de 4 cilindros y 200 CV. Y un 325 tenía motor de 6 cilindros y 171 CV, o sea, un 15 por ciento menos. Y estos coches, en muy buen estado, los encuentras en el entorno de los 15.000/20.000 €. Como inversión no es lo mismo, pero como disfrute, si te lo curras un poco en suspensiones y frenos… la diferencia de sensaciones no compensa la diferencia de inversión. Citroën AX GTi: ¿Has pensado en el GT? El AX GT ofrecía 85 CV y el GTi, con el mismo motor, pero inyección, ofrecía 95, o sea algo más de un 10 por ciento de potencia extra. En este caso es difícil establecer un baremo, pues hay pocas unidades en buen estado así que te diré que si encuentras un GT en buen estado y a buen precio…. No te empeñes en encontrar un GTi. Citroën 2 CV: ¿Has pensado en el Dyane 6? Vale, el 2CV es un mito, un coche clave en la historia, distinto y original. Pero el Dyane 6 es objetivamente mejor en todo. Y sobre todo en el precio. Mini Cooper: ¿Has pensado en el 1275 GT? El Cooper “español” de Authi ofrecía 68. Su predecesor en España del Cooper fue el Mini 1275 GT, con el mismo motor, pero solo 60 o 65 CV. Pero que, con cuatro retoques, supera al Cooper español. La diferencia de precio es alta, puede ser de dos a uno, el doble, pero menor que en otros casos, porque hay pocos coches de estos en un estado que valga la pena. Opel Calibra 2.0 16V: ¿Has pensado en el 8V? Para mí no hay duda: El Opel Calibra más “redondo” por delante de los V6 y del Turbo es el 2 litros de 16 válvulas con 150 CV. Pero es que si prueba el 8 válvulas de 115 CV te das cuenta de que, para disfrutar, incluso para ir ligero, a lo mejor no necesitas más, en un motor de fábula. Y los encuentras por precios casi de “risa”. Peugeot 205 GTi: ¿Has pensado en el GTX? He visto Peugeot 1.6 de 105 CV a precios brutales, hasta de 20.000 €, pero en modelos que estén bien, rara vez menos de 15.000 €. Pues bien, por menos de la mitad tienes en “GTi de Villaverde” con 96 CV, es decir, solo 9 CV menos que el primer 1.6. Y me dirás: “Las suspensiones y los asientos no son igual”. No, pero con lo que te ahorras, puedes poner las mejores suspensiones y los mejores asientos del mercado. Y te seguirá sobrando dinero. Renault 5 Copa: ¿Has pensado en el TS/TX? El R5 TS o TX no es lo mismo. Su motor de la misma cilindrada, pero con culata plana no hemisférica diseñada por Alpine apenas ofrece 65 CV contra los 90 del Copa o los 110 CV del turbo. ¡Pero valen la cuarta parte! Renault 8: ¿Has pensado en el R10? Para hacer esta parte del guion he puesto en mi buscador “R8 TS vendo” y me ha dado la solución: En una página de venta de coches sale un R8 con buena pinta, aunque unas ruedas excesivas para mi gusto, por el que piden 13.000 € y justo debajo un tío listo pone “Vendo R10. Lleva el motor del 8TS”. Los cual es rigurosamente cierto, y pide … 3.900 €. Seat León V6: ¿Has pensado en el 1.8 Turbo 20V? Como coche de colección el León MKI es una joya, con motor V6 de 2.8 litros, 205 CV y tracción total. No solo es la tracción total, es que la suspensión posterior de paralelogramo deformable es mucho más refinada, aunque el precio a pagar por la tracción total y el motor V6 es de casi 200 kg, pues peso en el entorno de los 1.500 kg. Es un coche muy buscado pero que aún se puede encontrar a precios interesantes, pero difícilmente por menos de 15.000 €. El 1.8 con motor de 1781 cm3, de 5 válvulas por cilindro, inyección y turbo ofrece 180 CV y un peso de unos 1.300 kg. Y lo puedes encontrar hasta un 30 por ciento más barato. No es un premio de consolación es un grandísimo coche al que para mi lo único que la falta es la suspensión del 4x4, no la tracción… por cierto que era la configuración del Copa de competición, como el que yo tuve, que era 4x2, pero con la suspensión “buena”.

En este podcast contamos con la colaboración de Airbnb https://www.airbnb.es/. Te voy a contar algunas experiencias que he tenido disfrutando de sus servicios, que seguro te van a dar buenas ideas a la hora de viajar. Ya sabéis que soy un verdadero “friki” y me gustan esos coches incomprendidos, injustamente olvidados, que no tuvieron el aprecio que merecían. En esta ocasión he seleccionado 10 de estos modelos de los años 70 y 80 que, en mi opinión, no alcanzaron el éxito que merecían. Y ahora, voy a decir lo que pienso: Incluso en la actualidad el mercado de coches en España es muy inmaduro… pues imaginaos hace 40 años o más. Si ahora la gente no sabe de coches, en esos años era un fenómeno nuevo y los clientes compraban primero, lo que podían, y luego se dejaban llevar por opiniones no del todo expertas. Simca 900 (1963). Comenzamos con un coche que cuya vida arrancó en los 60 y acabo en los 70. Y del que nadie se acuerda, porque su hermano mayor el 1.000 le ha robado todo el protagonismo hasta el punto de que he charlado con aficionados que ni conocían el modelo. Renault 10 (1966). Renault aspiraba a competir en un escalón algo superior al R8 y no se lo ocurrió otra cosa que alargar los voladizos delantero y trasero y poner un capo plano en vez del personal capo en V del R8. El coche pasaba de los 4 metros del R8 a los 4,20 del R10, pero con idéntica distancia entre ejes. Sencillamente, la treta no coló. Citroën Dyane 6 (1968). Aunque nacido antes de los 70, en 1967, como se vendió hasta 1983 lo he incluido. En España se comenzó a ofrecer en 1968 y es un caso similar al del 850 con el 600: Mucha gente prefería el 2 CV aún a pesar del que el Dyane 6 era mejor en todo. Renault 7 (1974). Un amigo mío, periodista, decía en tono despectivo: “España, el país del R7”. Yo lo refrendo, pero en positivo, porque el R-7, primero con denominación numérica y luego en letra, “Siete” era una propuesta muy interesante de un coche con todas las ventajas del primigenio R5, pero con 4 puertas laterales y un buen maletero. Seat 133 (1974). El 127 era ya un éxito y Seat quiso aprovechar de alguna manera ese éxito con un modelo que era la base del 850 pero con la estética del 127. Para asimilar sui comportamiento al de un tracción delantera, lo que hizo Seat fue bajar la suspensión posterior, ¡por fin! para que tuviese caída negativa y hacer justo lo contrario en el eje delantero, poner caída positiva para forzar a hacer al coche subvirador… que lo era salvo si forzabas al máximo. Chrysler 180 (1976). En España se lanzaron primero las versiones con denominación 180 y 2 litros, esta última con un motor más potente y, sobre todo, con cambio automático. La idea era buscar un sucesor razonable al Dodge, caro, gastón y ya algo anticuado. Más tarde apareció el 180 Diesel, con motor de 65 CV y una acabado algo más austero, pensado sobre todo como coche de servicio público en general y como taxi en particular. Seat 128 (1976). El Fiat 128 berlina, no el Coupé, fue un coche importante para la marca porque representaba el paso a la tracción delantera en este segmento. Era obra del Genial Dante Giacosa. De esa berlina derivó un Coupé muy interesante porque era un coche bonito, deportivo, pero habitable, con buen maletero y portón posterior… muy práctico. Lancia HPE (1979). Las siglas HPE venían de las palabras “High Perfomance Estate” algo así como “familiar de altas prestaciones”. En España el coche, sencillamente, no gustó, como digo porque, sobre todo, no se entendió la propuesta… pero a mí es un coche que me encanta y que incluso creo que se adelantó a su tiempo. Talbot Horizon (1980). El mismo modelo aparecido en 1977 se vendió con marca Chrysler, Simca o Talbot, la más conocida en España. Y en España, cuando se comenzó a vender en 1980, era el sucesor del Simca 1200 un coche con cierto prestigio en nuestro país. Citroën LNA (1983). Sencillamente este modelo, llamado por todos “Helena”, era ni más ni menos que un Peugeot 104 con un motor bicilíndrico Citroën. Para los “citroenistas” era un Peugeot y para el resto, un Citroën con carrocería de Peugeot. Conclusión. Creo que ninguno de estos modelos merece ser olvidado, porque como decía mi querido Ramón Roca, “todos los coches van al cielo” … y estos allí estarán. Coche del día. Lo tengo claro, un Seat 128 blanco con motor 1430 como homenaje a mi apreciada “Señorita Vila”. Ese coche me encantaba y me parecía curioso que una señora “mayor”, ella tendría unos 50 pero yo tenía 16, llevase un coche deportivo como ese… pero “Le quedaba bien”.

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and we're talking EMPURAAN and SIKANDAR with friend to the pod, Pappuchaaru. We took a break from our 80s Dhamaaka series to watch the Malayalam masala actioner, Empuraan. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and starring Mohanlal, Manju Warrier, and a whole host of other actors including R10 himself, this movie has run into political foul weather just days after its release. We discuss how it all unfolded, the movie itself, and what this means for Malayalam cinema. And then we have a lot to discuss with Sikandar. Directed by A. R. Murugadoss (Ghajini, 2008), this movie stars Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi and others. Social media has already been ripping this movie apart. We discuss how low the bar has gotten and what lies ahead for Salman and the Hindi film industry.
