The three-display 56” curved glass MBUX Hyperscreen and Multimedia System extends across the entire dashboard from door to door. Standard on the EQS 580, both the driver and passenger receive a 12.3” OLED screen. The central section is a 17.7” OLED touchscreen display, representing as the largest and most sophisticated display in any production vehicle. The Hyperscreen features an Augmented Reality Navigation System including Natural Language Understanding and Keyword Activation (“Hey Mercedes”). For instance, the actual views you see ahead are visually replicated as video on screen when making a turn. It also has a Google Earth-type view when navigating. From the passenger side, I was able to control Nav, massages, music, and much more.

M-B is making room for its top products and views the EQS as the single most significant product in the last decade. EQS accelerates its ambition to transform the company into the future of mobility. So, while 60% to 70% of the industry focuses on SUVs, M-B is honing in on its electric sedan and the Mercedes-EQ brand with hopes of reaching carbon-neutrality within the next 20 years. And by 2030, the initiative is to ascertain that 50% of its fleet features electric drive systems, whether fully electric or plug-in hybrids.

Not only is 2021 the year of the S-Class, but it is also the launching pad for the evolution of all-electric mobility from Mercedes-Benz beginning with electrified S-Class family member EQS. To gain a better understanding of the EV's opulent and technological attributes, and experience both the 2022 EQS 450+ sedan and 2022 EQS 580 4MATIC sedan, Automotive Rhythms joined Mercedes-Benz’s PR team and President/CEO Dimitris Psillakis in Palo Alto, CA for the national media launch and test drive.

Starting off from the Cavallo Point Lodge at the Golden Gate Bridge, Automotive Rhythms experienced the 2021 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition featuring a 10 mm lowered MagneRide suspension, red Brembo brake calipers, 20” aluminum performance wheels with Ebony Black-painted pockets, specially developed 245/45 R20 Pirelli summer tires, Ford Performance seats (Performance Gray ActiveX seating material), exclusive body styling, 480-horsepower, and a whopping 634 lb.-ft. of torque. Pushing 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, I felt like the vehicle was being catapulted out of a cannon when I took off. Yes, it felt that fast. Moreover, I was even more impressed with the vehicle's handling and braking characteristics on the autocross. Expect an all-electric range of 260 miles from the Mach-E GT Performance Edition.

GMC's 2022 HUMMER EV SUT super truck is an anomaly in the electric world and represents unimaginable character traits owners will epitomize. During an exclusive drive at GM's test track, Automotive Rhythms publisher Kimatni Rawlins was able to experience Watts to Freedom, Extract Mode, and Crab Walk, which works in unison with Active Rear Steer to let the SUT drive diagonally at low or high speeds. The SUT is a freak of nature with up to 1,000-horsepower and a 0 to 60 time of 3 seconds! Enjoy the video. Full review = www.AutomotiveRhythms.com

The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV has another impressive feature dubbed Crab Walk mode. Crab Walk works in unison with Active Rear Steer (up to 10-degrees of rear steer) to let the SUT slide side to side while the front fascia is pointed straight ahead. Crab Walk can be used in slow speed maneuvers such as parking in and out of tight spaces or at higher speeds on dirt roads for fun and games. It’s pretty freaky but simultaneously cool! The SUT also has an impressive turning radius for making tight U-turns. Full review = www.AutomotiveRhythms.com

Owners can view the tires from an app and UltraVisions’s 18 camera angles, including two underbody views to ensure the HUMMER is taking the proper lines off-road. Underbody armory stems from five skid plates for a complete cover. Additional confidence manifests from Terrain Mode, 15.9” total ground clearance, a 50-degree approach angle, an electric locking differential and rear virtual locking differential, and Air Down Mode to lower tire pressure for better traction. Last but not least is Extract Mode that manipulates the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension to raise another 5.8” to help the truck walk over obstructions or climb out of dicey situations.

GMC’s 2022 HUMMER EV super truck is an anomaly in the electric world, and represents unimaginable character traits truck buyers and conscious thinkers will epitomize once taking ownership. During an exclusive invite to GM’s proving grounds and testing center in Michigan, Automotive Rhythms was able to drive an engineering HUMMER EV SUT model on the track, over boulders, and on gravel paths to showcase the EV’s remarkable on-and off-road capabilities. Try to imagine an electric truck that is blessed with up 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque from three electric drive motors. Now envision that same vehicle smoking most sports cars (without the smoke) utilizing its Usain Bolt 0-60 mph sprint time of 3 seconds. Epic! Full review = www.AutomotiveRhythms.com

F1 phenomenon Lewis Hamilton does it again with his record-breaking 100th win at the Russian Grand Prix. What an exciting F1 race today with an array of track drama with Verstappen starting last and Hamilton losing three spots from a poor start. Verstappen quickly charged up the leaderboard, dispensing with Bottas and others along the way. The McLarens ran a great race as the young Lando Norris lead with five laps remaining when the rainfall began. Hamilton pitted for intermediate rain tires while Norris stayed out on the track. That decision cost him the victory since the British driver spun out, handing Hamilton the lead and his 100th Grand Prix victory! Verstappen finished second with a super impressive drive. The young guns are coming up in F1 and setting the tone for modern-day F1 aggression. Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton, who can now be considered the G.O.A.T. of Formula 1! The British race announcers were also superb today as they vicariously embedded ESPN TV viewers to the “edge of your seat” atmosphere of the race. See you Sunday, October 10 for the Turkish Grand Prix held at the Istanbul Park Circuit.

Kimatni Rawlins of Automotive Rhythms playing with the McLaren GT's rear mid-mounted V8 that pumps out 620-horsepower and blazes 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds. We kept the vehicle in Sport mostly because there was always a reason for quick takeoffs. Operators can also select “Manual” mode which allows you to shift the long gears without the transmission automatically and prematurely upshifting. Amazingly you can fly up to 95 mph in 3rd gear before hitting redline.
