Citroën is about to launch its newest model, the SUV coupe Citroën Basalt, which will be produced at the Porto Real (RJ) factory, sharing the CMP (Common Modular Platform) with its “siblings” from the C3 family, the C3 hatch and the SUV C3 Aircross. With a daring design and innovative features, the Basalt promises to win over Brazilian consumers.

Although few details have been confirmed about the Coupe, observations made from spy shots suggest that the Citroën Basalt will share doors with other models from the C3 family but will feature a distinctive rear hatch to suit the SUV coupe proposals. With aerodynamic lines and a modern look, the Basalt promises to stand out in the compact SUV segment.

Efficient Engine In The New Citroën Basalt Coupe

The Citroën Basalt Coupe is expected to share its mechanical set with the SUV C3 Aircross, including the 1.0 turbo flex engine, providing 125 hp with gasoline and 130 hp with ethanol, and 20.4 kgfm of torque with both fuels. This engine is already known in other Stellantis models, such as the Fiat Pulse and the Peugeot 208, ensuring agile and efficient performance. The transmission will be a CVT simulating seven gears, providing a smooth and comfortable driving experience.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Stored for over 100 years, the first underwater tunnel in Latin America receives a decisive boost with a loan of R$ 2.5 billion signed in April and promises to connect Santos and Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, in just 5 minutes.

A brand that has been manufacturing motorcycles since 1901 launches its first electric model, and the price shocked the world: $3,000, weighing only 124 kg and accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in 3.7 seconds…

Giant turbines on the seabed of Scotland have been generating clean energy for nearly a decade without interruption, and now the big promise is that tidal power could solve the biggest problem of solar and wind energy: the unpredictability that no one has been able to overcome until today.

Brazilian scientists assembled a “climate time machine” in the heart of the Amazon to fill trees with future CO₂ and discover how much the planet’s largest forest can withstand before changing forever.

With 1 trillion yuan in investments, China is creating from scratch a “city of the future” almost the size of London to relieve Beijing and transform the project into part of the legacy of supreme leader Xi Jinping.

The sea may advance faster than imagined: a 1-meter rise in ocean levels could leave up to 132 million people below the waterline, while a flaw present in over 99% of coastal analyses suggests that the real risk is already being underestimated.

A love letter written 540 years ago reappears thanks to artificial intelligence and reveals a surprising story of passion, family conflicts, a dowry dispute, and difficult choices that challenged the rules of medieval England.

SpaceX admits that the idea of taking artificial intelligence servers into space could run into something simple and inevitable: the laws of physics, which make the project more complex than it seemed.
