NYIAS MONTES SHOWROOM
Welcome to the Montes showroom!
Today, we are proud to present the new F-segment model of the brand, the T90, as well the definitive Urban 2018 TCR.
2018 Montes T90
But before introduce the model, we will answer questions, which have arisen in motor magazines, and among fans:
Questions and answers
But first, we will answer the questions that have arisen in specialized media about the nomenclature, as well as resolve the rumors surrounding the Excelsior.
On montes, we decided to change the nomenclature for the sedans between the D and F segment.
The T it means tourer, already indicating the clear approach to rolling comfort, but without forgetting the typical dynamic behavior expected by a customer of the brand.
And the numbers, indicates the segment of the car. They go three by three. T30 it would be a D-segment sedan, T60, E-segment sedan, and T90, F-segment sedan. At the moment, we have no planned sedan below segment D.
And about the Excelsior, there will be no change in the denomination. It is a G segment car, and also, a historical model name, so we have not made any changes.
And once the questions are answered, we go with the presentation of the model.
Technology
To leave a more orderly, sober and clean cabin, together with Sharp’s collaboration, we have developed a transparent central screen, which the driver can hide at the touch of a button. The screen is made of a plastic material in its core, combined with the use of an OLED panel, and protected with a glass projection.
For the controls on the steering wheel, we decided to replace the traditional pushbuttons, by capacitive sensors, with an OLED screen behind them, which shows the function. Why? Because by pressing one of the buttons, we can go from controlling the audio system, to the air conditioning system, and therefore, the volume up or down button would switch to adjusting the temperature. So. The buttons are the same, but pressing the Mode one, It changes from AC to sound, and vice versa.
We wanted to introduce the greatest number of controls on the steering wheel, so that the driver does not take his hands off the steering wheel, but without accumulating many buttons or be confussing.
In the autonomous driving section, the T90 incorporates the latest technology available in the market. Like LiDAR radars, for example, as well as an AI, developed by NVIDIA, that predicts what can happen on the road, or around it, to anticipate possible dangers.
The autonomous driving system is level 3.
Comfort
In Montes, we have been around 4 years, to develop a car as comfortable as possible, while dynamic.
To do this, we designed a hydropneumatic suspension, piloted, and controlled by RADAR, which, as we have said previously, reads the road, and adapts to the contour of it.
The feeling is like going on a cloud.
As we know that 65% of customers will be driven by a driver, we have designed a car with a wheelbase of 3.10m, to provide a large space for the legs, as well as to adjust the two individual seats. Two seats, with massage function, air-conditioned, and with automatic body adjustment.
Design
The body lines are soft, with a marked waist line, covered in chrome.
The handles, are retractable, and leave once the car opens.
They provide a clean lateral line, and an improvement in the drag coefficient.
Inside, leather presides most of the interior, along with wood, glass, marble and metal for the moldings and buttons.
The customer can choose between two types of leather: aniline and semi-aniline.
For the Asian market, you can order the interior, with seats covered in wool, instead of leather.
Engines
The car is available with three engine options: a 3.0 inline 6 with 311hp, a 5.0 v8 with 490hp, and a 5.8 V12, with 560hp. All engines, comes with turbocharger, direct injection, Montes SCHI technology, and a 48v mild hybrid system, for the V12.
