Japan's Nikkei hits record high as automakers rise on weaker yen
Japanese stocks surged to record highs, mirroring Wall Street's gains and fueled by a weaker yen that boosted automaker stocks like Toyota and Honda. Renewed optimism about the domestic corporate outlook and foreign investor interest further propelled the rally. While banks declined following strong economic data, chip-related stocks also weighed on the Nikkei, contrasting with the broader market's positive momentum. Tired of too many ads?

Lexus Shines At Monterey Car Week, Unveils Futuristic Sport Model In Concept Avatar
It has been reported that the company is planning to turn into a production model, which will take the place of the company's iconic LFA sports car. The luxury arm of Toyota, Lexus, became the centre of attraction at Monterey Car Week in the USA after showcasing the futuristic concept of the Sport model. This is the first time the model made its official appearance after being spotted multiple times during the testing phase overseas. It has been reported that the company is planning to turn into a production model, which will take the place of the company's iconic LFA sports car. The reports suggested that the brand might release the full production spec version somewhere in the next year. However, a confirmation about the same is yet to be announced by Lexus. Here's What Design Says Aesthetically, the Sport Concept looks straight out of some sci-fi thriller as it looks super futuristic. A big credit goes to its edgy look and sharp style statement. The front fascia has been treated with a unique headlight setup, paired with integrated signature-style V-shaped DRLs, and a massive bonnet where 'L' badging shines on the top. The sculpted bonnet features a pair of big active vents, close to the curvy fenders. The elements not just make it look aggressive but also give it a unique approach in terms of road presence. Talking about the rear, it gets a connected light bar with a glossy treatment at the centre, pairing up with raised buttresses on both ends. What About Specs? Under the hood, everything has been covered as the company has not revealed any spec-related details as yet. However, some reports suggested that the car might use a twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a sweet touch of electrification. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Blending ambition with friction: Is E20 revving up or breaking down?
Consumers neglected The E20 success story is now facing setbacks. As ethanol-blended petrol went mainstream, vehicle owners, especially those with older models, voiced fears about potential wear and tear on engines and reduced mileage. The petroleum ministry recently confirmed that four-wheelers designed for E10 and calibrated for E20 may experience a 1-2% drop in mileage, while other vehicles may see a reduction of 3-6%. While the government's claim of up to 6% reduction in mileage on older vehicles suggests a limited impact, consumers and some experts believe the impact on mileage to be a little higher. 'By its chemical composition, ethanol has lower energy per unit volume than petrol. This results in reduced fuel efficiency from any ethanol-blended petrol when compared to unadulterated petrol. While our internal estimate shows that E20 petrol gives 5-7% lower mileage than unadulterated petrol, primarily in vehicles manufactured before 2023, consumer feedback suggests the impact to be in double digits in real-world driving conditions,' said the head technical officer of a leading car company on the condition of anonymity. An industry expert cited that ethanol is hygroscopic (attracts water) and more corrosive than petrol. He stated that over time, this can lead to increased wear of rubber and plastic components (like gaskets, seals, hoses). He added the possibility of fuel leaks, degraded fuel pumps and clogged injectors, especially in older vehicles which are not designed for higher ethanol blends and are not maintained routinely. Automakers have also pointed to potential technical issues and reduced fuel efficiency, particularly with higher ethanol blends such as E20. In an email response to a consumer's query, Japanese carmaker Toyota stated that it is not advisable to use E20 and that usage of any fuel (other than recommended as per Owner's Manual) will void Toyota Warranty for the impacted parts. Two-wheeler major Hero MotoCorp said that vehicles manufactured before April 2023, may require modifications in the engine fuel system for it to be tuned to run efficiently on E20 fuel. 'Certain rubber, elastomers and plastic components (like gasket, O-rings, fuel tube, etc.) may need to be replaced for prolonged usage with new parts made with E20 compatible material,' it added. TVS Motor says that compared to gasoline, ethanol has different chemical characteristics, and it is corrosive to several materials that are frequently used in fuel systems. Component deterioration or damage could result from compatibility problems, it added.
