Review of The Magnificent MG4 XPower Hot Hatch
10th October 2024
Therefore, It can be labelled a hot hatch that harks back to the '80s with Golf GTis, Peugeot 205s and Ford Fiesta XR2s. The MG4 Xpower is an EV electric vehicle under the radar of drivers who want Tesla performance at much lower prices. Jeremy Webb shows it can be done and had a fantastic time finding out. The MG4 XPower is the most potent vehicle the marque has produced, and wow, you can tell when you put your foot down. I had the pleasure of having the car and driving it around Surrey and West Sussex, crossing between the counties on the B roads that connect them. They prove to be an excellent environment for the phenomenal MG4 XPower, which has a dual motor powertrain delivering 435PS and up to 600Nm of torque.

12th October 2015
The adventure lasts 15 days, departing from Beijing and Moscow, with expected stops including Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Ulan Ude and Ulaanbaatar, among others. The experience will be very unique, as guests will be able to travel the normally closed original route of the Trans-Siberian Railroad and be accommodated in one of Tsar Gold’s five cabin categories, ranging from four berth cabins to luxury cabins with en suite facilities.

Featuring Experience spectacular views of planet Earth by Bloon
6th October 2015
It’s a near-space flight that takes you to the edge of the atmosphere, now bookable at a price tag of €110,000 and lifting off as early as 2016 (or 2017 at the latest). The journey takes approximately four hours, commencing with a countdown to vertical lift-off lasting about 10 minutes, as the bloon begins its ascent from the Earth’s surface to an altitude of 36km. At this point the bloon cruises at a constant altitude, providing spectacular views of the planet. Finally, there is the venting phase, which enables the bloon to descend onto its predefined landing area for sail separation. So, why use a balloon for this exciting flight experience? According to the company, there are three reasons: ‘Safety, experience and environmental impact. The oldest type of flying machine known, the balloon, is inherently safer than other forms of high-altitude flight. By using a pod with a balloon we create a softer and more pleasant journey.
