The luxury sedan market is going electric. BMW recently released its all-new 7 Series lineup, including the first-ever electric i7 xDrive60. This creates an intriguing choice for buyers: get the gas-powered 760i xDrive, or go electric with the i7? We compare these flagship sedans to see how the i7 stacks up to its gas-powered twin. Powertrain and Performance The 760i and i7 are closely matched on paper. Similar Power and Torque Both sedans produce 536 horsepower and over 550 lb-ft of torque. The i7 makes 549 lb-ft while the 760i churns out 553 lb-ft. This results in potent straight-line performance either way. The V8 Growl vs. The Electric Whisper However, the driving experiences are quite different. The 760i features a sonorous twin-turbo 4.4L V8 that provides an audible soundtrack as you surge forward. The i7's electric motors accelerate with eerie smoothness and silence. It lacks the engine noises, vibration, and gear shifts of the gas 7 Series. Quick, But The 760i Is Quicker The extra 767 pounds of the electric i7's battery pack means it can't quite match the gas 760i's acceleration. The 760i hits 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, while the i7 needs 4.4 seconds for the same sprint. The quarter mile happens in under 12 seconds in both sedans, but the 760i is over a second quicker at 11.9 sec. Top Speed Favors Gasoline The 760i's V8 power enables it to reach a governed 156 mph top speed. The i7 tops out at a still quick 150 mph due to being electric. So if top speed is a priority, the gas 760i has the edge. Efficiency - Advantage Electric When it comes to fuel efficiency, the i7 dominates as expected. Our observed 73 MPGe blows away the 760i's 20 mpg. For highway cruising, the i7 managed 94 MPGe to the 760i's 30 mpg. The i7 provides a 310 mile real-world highway range, while the gas tank in the 760i allows 580 miles between fill-ups. Handling and Braking Performance BMW fits its latest technology to both 7 Series models, creating a surprisingly agile drive despite their large size and luxury focus. Impressive Agility for Large Luxury Sedans The adaptive air suspension with active anti-roll bars keeps body motions controlled. Our test cars wore sticky 21-inch performance tires. We ripped around our 300-foot skidpad at 0.89G in the 760i and 0.92G in the i7. For context, sports sedans like the BMW M3 pull around 1.0G. Quick Reactions and Short Stopping Distances These big BMWs feel light on their feet and react quickly to steering inputs. Their huge brakes bring them to a halt from 70 mph in just 160-162 feet. From higher speeds, they need around 330 feet to come to a complete stop - impressive for vehicles weighing over 5,000 lbs. Virtually No Handling Difference Between Gas and Electric Despite lugging around an extra 767 lbs, the i7 sticks to the skidpad and carves through corners with poise matching its gas-powered twin. The electric motors' instant torque vectoring enables deft adjustments mid-corner. Overall, the difference in handling dynamics is minimal between the gas and electric models. Ride Comfort and Noise Levels When you're spending over $150,000 on a flagship luxury sedan, you expect it to coddle and isolate you from the outside world. Here's how the 760i and i7 compare when it comes to ride comfort. Magic Carpet Ride Quality The standard air suspension delivers sublime ride comfort in either 7 Series. Impacts and imperfections are beautifully muted, living up to the luxury promise. Adding active anti-roll bars reduces body roll further without compromising the supple ride. Luxury-Focused Cabins Shut Out the World Wind and road noise is kept to barely a whisper inside both cabins. The Levante Full Merino leather seats are decadently soft. The rest of the cabin is lined with lush carpets and sumptuous materials. These are sanctuaries from the world outside. Electric Motor's Hush Trumps the V8 The i7's silent electric running makes it feel even more isolated than the 760i.
With no engine noises whatsoever, it glides along like a magic carpet. The gas V8 remains subdued, but can't match the i7's hushed electric demeanor. For the ultimate sensory deprivation experience, the i7 nudges ahead. Interior Luxury and Passenger Space Occupants are immersed in luxury whichever 7 Series they choose. Let's compare the cabins and passenger space. Identical Interior Dimensions The 760i and i7 share precisely the same interior dimensions. Rear seat space is generous in both, with 54 cubic feet for passengers to stretch out. The raised battery pack under the i7's cabin only reduces trunk space slightly, from 19 to 18 cubic feet. Bespoke Options Tailor the Experience Their common options lists allow fine-tuning the luxury experience. Our test vehicles came loaded with over $150,000 of luxury upgrades. Highlights include: $7,250 Rear Executive Lounge seats with massagers $6,550 Automatic soft-close doors $5,450 Alcantara headliner $4,800 Bowers & Wilkins 36-speaker sound system $3,750 Heated, reclining rear seats with footrest Technology Blends Old-World Craftsmanship with New Modern amenities like heated/cooled seats with massage blend seamlessly with traditional craftsmanship touches. Details like the metal speaker grilles and glass iDrive control knob convey modern prestige. Overall, the cabins provide identical, sublime luxury experiences. Personal preference of options provides the only differences. Range and Charging Considerations For all-electric vehicles like the i7, range and charging capabilities are important considerations. Here is how the i7 stacks up in these areas. 310 Miles of Real-World Range Our test i7 managed 310 miles in real-world highway driving. This beats its EPA rating of 300 miles. While not class-leading (the Mercedes EQS manages 350+ miles), it's enough range to cover most trips without range anxiety. Charging Speeds - Good, But Faster Options Exist On a Level 2 home charger, the 101.7 kWh battery needs 11 hours for a full charge according to BMW. We saw 102 kW average charging speed at a 350 kW DC fast charging station. The battery charged from 10% to 90% in 47 minutes. This lags behind the 200+ kW charging of the Porsche Taycan or Tesla Model S. Charging Infrastructure Improving, But Uneven The number of DC fast charging stations in the US is rising rapidly. However, coverage remains uneven. Road tripping requires more planning and possible waits to charge compared to gas-powered cars. Metro area and suburban owners will have an easier time finding chargers. Overall, the i7 provides enough range for most driving needs, but its charging capabilities fall slightly behind the fastest-charging EVs. Driving Assistance and Safety Technology Cutting-edge driver assistance tech comes standard in both 7 Series models, befitting their flagship status. Latest Driver Aids Standard Every 7 Series includes a full suite of advanced systems: Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian/cyclist detection Adaptive cruise control Lane centering assist Traffic jam assist for stop-and-go driving Evasive steering assist Front/rear parking sensors and cameras Available Options Enhance Capabilities Optional packages provide even greater assistance and autonomy: $2,100 Driving Assistance Pro Package: Adds lane keeping assistant with side collision avoidance, Traffic Jam Assistant for hands-free driving below 40 mph. $900 Parking Assistant Professional: Provides remote parking via smartphone, more advanced automated parking capabilities. Over-the-Air Updates BMW continually pushes out over-the-air software updates to improve driver aids over time, like Tesla does. This ensures they remain cutting-edge as technology progresses. Five-Star Overall Safety Rating The latest 7 Series recently earned a maximum five stars overall in Euro NCAP safe
ty testing. Top scores in all crashworthiness and driver assistance parameters affirm its advanced engineering. In terms of active safety tech, the i7 and 760i are identically equipped to monitor surroundings and intervene if needed. Verdict - A Tough Choice Between Equals The BMW 760i and i7 are closely matched luxury flagships. The i7 holds advantages in smooth, silent driving and efficiency. But the 760i's range and charging edge make it better for road trips. With near-identical luxury, performance and driving dynamics, choosing between them largely depends on your needs: i7 - For Locally-Focused Buyers Who Prioritize Luxury The silent electric i7 provides the ultimate in isolated, tranquil motoring. never breaking the luxury spell with engine noise. Its 310 mile range covers most local/suburban driving. Home and public charging is convenient. The i7 perfectly suits buyers who: Highly value a hushed, luxurious driving experience Don't frequently embark on long road trips Have easy home or public charging access 760i - For Drivers Requiring Maximum Range and Road Trip Ability The gas-powered 760i shines for its 580 miles of driving range between fill-ups. Cross-country road trips are effortless with fast gas stops. Performance and engine noises are more prominent, but still subdued. It best fits luxury buyers who: Demand maximum driving range Frequently drive long distances Want confidence of quick gas fill-ups Either way, BMW's 7 Series continues to define the pinnacle of luxury motoring - now with the choice of gas or electric power to suit your lifestyle. The i7 and 760i remain range-topping equals with unique advantages over each other. This sums up the in-depth comparison between BMW's all-new electric i7 and gas-powered 760i luxury sedans.

Carbon Cube - The Conspriracy
If the cube is positioned right in entrance of you, the face right in entrance of you would be the front face and so on. Skidpad grip was worthy of the standard Recaro racing entrance buckets. Considered the most important crash in NASCAR history, the accident happened in part as a result of Daytona is a a lot bigger and quicker observe than many NASCAR drivers have been used to racing on up to that time. Molotsky, Irvin. "Against the law Half Solved: Part of Washington's Teeth Reappear." The new York Times. But that is precisely what occurred in 1981, when the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History found that one pair of Washington's chompers, which had been loaned to the Smithsonian in 1965 by the University of Maryland Dental School, had vanished from a locked storage room where they'd been kept. It would be embarrassing enough to misplace your individual dentures, so imagine how purple-confronted you'd be if you couldn't discover a historic pair that belonged to the first U.S.
The ship had sufficient food. When you've much less contact with the bottom and are traveling at high speeds, the lift can be enough for the automobile to lose control and become airborne. About an hour-and-a-half after takeoff, the control tower in Fort Lauderdale received a wierd message from the crew's flight leader, who sounded confused and fearful: "Both my compasses are out and I am trying to find Fort Lauderdale, Fla." More dialogue adopted between the tower, the lead pilot and the pupil pilots of the opposite planes as he tried to determine where they have been. Machine learning has the potential to vary this by learning how to use sensor information to manage the robotic system appropriately as a substitute of hand-programming the robotic using knowledgeable data. Figure 2 exhibits an summary of our system. For example, in 2(a), the specified orientation is proven subsequent to the hand with the red face facing up, the blue face dealing with to the left and the inexperienced face going through ahead. To feed the frenzy, Ty restricted the release of sure Beanies and due to this fact sent the value of characters such because the "Blue Elephant" into the hundreds.
The one downers have been a fairly formidable price -- $54,995, plus luxury and gas-guzzler taxes -- and simply 300 copies obtainable, all pink coupes and all rapidly sold. magnetic 3x3 , the SAT solver produces a DRAT refutation. Symmetry breaking might be expressed within the DRAT format, but it is tricky. If they still aren't blissful, teams can strive their luck before the national commissioner for a final enchantment, however his is the last phrase. Water to last six months at sea. That was the last anybody heard from him. If you've seen the classic 1960 movie "Spartacus", you may be stunned to study that the rebellious second-century gladiator, portrayed by Kirk Douglas in the movie, wasn't truly captured and put to loss of life by the Romans. In a Rubik’s Cube alternatively, rotation of the faces can put rows of stickers that had been once aligned parallel to 1 axis into alignment with one other axis.
Autodidactic Iteration can be used to prepare a community to resolve a 4x4x4 cube and different puzzles similar to n-dimensional sequential transfer puzzles and combination puzzles involving different polyhedra. We are able to interpret these problems as variants of the Rubik’s Square or Rubik’s Cube issues. As far as the two stickers are involved, that's equal to a rotation of all the Rubik’s Cube. These decomposed face angle predictions are then fed into publish-processing logic (See Appendix C Algorithm 5) to trace the rotation of all face angles, which are in turn passed along to the coverage. Some rumors say that he was buried underneath the previous Giants Stadium in New Jersey, whereas different tales have his physique being fed to alligators within the Everglades or else shipped to Japan inside a compacted junked automotive. Despite a long time of FBI probing, Hoffa's remains have never turned up. I remember him as a towering, muscular big, clad in a flamboyant midnight-blue shirt with white polka dots and bellbottom denims, who despite his fearsome reputation turned out to be surprisingly friendly. NASCAR speedways might be filled with followers, but they're also swamped with inspectors who dish out penalties if cars don't conform to specs.

Another incredibly unique car coming out to a Fuelfed show.  This is a 1985 Oldsmobile FE3X concept car, one of two built if memory serves.  Back in 1985, the current owner saw this car on display at the Chicago Auto Show, and fell in love, asking for details at the show, only to sadly learn that it was to be a one-off creation for the Oldsmobile Aerotech program.  His father was also a car enthusiast with a love for Oldsmobiles, and decided to call in some favors.  He learned that if he were to buy a new 1985 Olds Cutlass 442 and ship it to the factory, they would be willing to do an FE3-X conversion.  After that conversion, the program was ended, with the original show car ending up in the R.E. Olds Museum, and this second car in the hands of it’s current owner.  Oldsmobile’s original intention when building this car was to have it capable of maintaining 1.0 G on a skidpad, and I can’t seem to find the results, but I know it was just shy of achieving that goal, but still very impressive for the mid-80′s!  Spotted here at a Fuelfed Spontaneous Combustion in June of 2018

“Egads!” shrieked Professor Skidpad, after looking at my latest test results. I leaned in close, not knowing which way this whole thing was going to go. That’s why I’m so grateful for modern science. There’s a lot of ambiguity in the world, and before Francis Bacon shoved his smart-ass method in front of our faces, most of us just stared at the clouds and cursed an uncaring god when our cattle died or we missed out on that long-wheelbase Lexus at auction.
Rather than answer my unstated question, the Professor just did a full-body leap over the lab bench and took off down the hall, shrieking and hollering. This must be excellent news, I finally decided, and - after collecting the various handheld video game systems and automotive enthusiast magazines I had brought with me to help pass the time - followed in hot pursuit. I caught up to him out in the parking lot. He had ducked underneath the automatic transmission pan of my ‘86 Vandura and seemed to be weeping openly, not unlike the aforementioned transmission.
I was gripped with a sudden feeling that I now had to explain myself, and that through negotiation perhaps I could minimize whatever negative consequences were about to sprout from my test. A lot of really cool people on the internet had experienced that van life, I tried to explain to him by way of showing him flickering YouTube videos in between 6-minute-long ads. It was a noble attempt, but fruitless as the Professor kept refusing to look directly at the screen and would instead start climbing up further into the body of the van, nestling in amongst the wiring harnesses of the engine doghouse, crying all the time. I considered just peeling out of the parking lot before the cops could respond, but the extra strain that the weight of his body would put on the fragile wiring harnesses would mean I’d at least lose the speedo, if not the 2-3 shift solenoid.
“You know, I bet you could get published with results like that,” I murmured into the undercarriage of the van in a tone of voice I would normally use to lure a stray cat from inside a dumpster. “And you could p-hack it all you wanted to because nobody is going to find a second case of Previa Madness.”
