Amazon. com New Releases: The best-selling new & future releases in Play Vehicles

Your Destiny expands, toys come to life, and movie cars take a real beating this week on Amazon…

Family really is the most important thing, whether it’s the one you’re born into, or the one you build over time. True, I learned that lesson from one of the most aggressively dumb action franchises on Earth, but once I let go and embraced the ridiculousness of Fast & Furious I was much happier. True, that’s a similar situation to Winston at the end of 1984, but things worked out for well for him, right? Anyway, Furious 7 is just one of this week’s big Amazon new release, which we list each week right here on LT. Buy these items (or anything else) through those links helps out Laser Time at no extra to you, which definitely helps us in addition to the support of the Laser Time Patreon. Now, family members, lets drive as fast and furiously as possible into another week of new things!

Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition

In an age of every single game being annualized, it’s intriguing to see Bungie take a slightly different approach with its tentpole franchise Destiny. The divisive game definitely has a boatload of fans ready for more, and Taken King promises many more missions, upgrades, and a whole new level cap, plus Nolan North replacing the so-bad-it’s-good Dinklebot. And if this second installment of Destiny is enough to sell you on Sony’s current gen system, then it’s past time you got the Destiny: The Taken King Limited Edition 500GB PS4 Console Bundle that’s also out this week.

Forza Motorsport 6

It’s been close to a decade since I was behind the wheel of a car, and I don’t really plan on renewing my driver’s licence any time soon. However, even if cars cause me a ton of stress, I totally understand the appeal of driving around digital versions of impossible-to-own cars in games like Forza. This sixth entry looks to undo the failings of Forza 5, and early reviews seem to indicate Forza 6 just might have pulled it off. Also, if you’ve yet to get an Xbone, Forza now gives you collectors another opportunity with the Xbox One Forza 6 Limited Edition 1TB Bundle.

Skylanders SuperChargers Starter Pack

Before LEGO Dimensions, Disney Infinity, or amiibo, one modest spin-off of Spyro invented a whole new genre of games that has collected BILLIONS from kids and adults alike. Skylanders is back with a whole new collective of toys to life titles, but what’s the extra gimmick this time? Activision and Vicarious Visions are using this opportunity to add vehicles to the series, meaning now your toys can have toys! Also, Nintendo fans should keep a lookout for the Wii U version, as it features both Bowser and Donkey Kong as guest-starring characters!

NHL 16

Look, I’m not going to pretend I get hockey, or even that I know that EA Sports even makes a good hockey game anymore. However, the fact remains that there needed to be one more game to fill this slot and for once the Vita doesn’t have a new release starring almost nude teen girls. But if you can tell the difference between the Islanders, the Penguins, or whoever it is that plays in Edmonton, then maybe you’ll want to pick this up today.

Furious 7

It has been out for weeks digitally, but now you can get Furious 7 in disc form to relive the thoroughly dumb and enjoyable film. You’ll get to see Vin Diesel beating the shit out of people with wrenches, characters drive between three different buildings, The Rock fix a broken arm by flexing, and SO much many more gleefully stupid action film moments. Also, now you’ll be able to rewind scenes featuring Paul Walker to search for the parts that look very digitally altered. Oh, and don’t worry about crying at the end, because everyone did.

007: The Daniel Craig Collection

Let me get this out of the way: Daniel Craig is the best James Bond to date. He’s not a caveman like Sean Connery, a cornball like Roger Moore, or a smug douche like Pierce Brosnan. Craig’s Bond is the most human and complete 007 to date, and his films have really benefited from his more layered performance. Now, as his next film, SPECTRE, approaches, you can relive all his previous bonding moments in one HD collection. Boy, it feels like just yesterday I was showing off my new HDTV by watching a copy of Casino Royale. How time flies.

Mad Max 35th Anniversary

George Miller’s Mad Max has been reborn with the summer’s best film, Fury Road, so why not use this as an excuse to go back to the very beginning? 35 years ago, Miller didn’t have $100 million, and Mel Gibson wasn’t a famous anti-semite, or even famous at all. But with hard work and a real stretched budget, Mad Max was still able to tell a great story of post-apocalyptic murder and revenge. Sure, it may not have aged as well as Road Warrior, but Miller’s vision is still plenty compelling in his first ever journey with Max.

SPECIAL SALES NEWS! PRE-ORDER AMAZING MIYAZAKI BOX SET

The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki is the most celebrated animator of the last 50 years, and for good reason.

Now that he’s retired, Amazon has an exquisite looking special collection of every feature length film Miyazaki directed all in one box set. Plus, there are some fantastic bonuses as well that will likely justify the price. Out this November, this looks like a great gift for those you love most.

Meanwhile, the US Disney releases never go on sale, yet these are all set at just over $17!

Wind farms

It seems that wind energy has found a friend in the UK. A new study shows that wind farms are the ( POPULAR ) type of renewable energy source among the British.

Two thousand people were asked about their preferences for energy sources. Nearly 50% of them said they would welcome wind farms even if they ( CONSTRUCT ) within seven kilometres of their home.

Coal-powered energy is less favourable to people, as only 20% of citizens prefer to have this type of power source in ( THEY ) neighbourhood.

Despite the preference for wind farms, the UK government isn’t keen on ( ALLOW ) farms to be built inland. The aim is to build offshore wind farms and to use land for other purposes.

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was a Russian scientist. He worked during the late 19th and early 20th century on the ( DEVELOP ) of theories in rocket science and space flight, and is considered one of the pioneers of astronautics.

His work with rockets can be easily seen today. The jet engines that steer rockets in space were developed by Tsiolkovsky, and the airlocks that allow astronauts to enter and exit space were his ( INVENT ) as well.

Tsiolkovsky often had trouble getting funding for his projects. He was quite ( PROGRESS ) for his time, and the Russian science programmes didn’t always believe in his work.

In 1903 he published an article which proved that rockets could fly into space. Although it is now a basic ( SCIENCE ) principle, no one in his field appreciated the article when it was written.

Many of Tsiolkovsky’s ideas went on to be used in rocket science and space travel. Like most scientists, though, some of his ideas were considered ( PRACTICAL ) and were ignored as a result.

One such idea stated that humans would ( EVENTUAL ) move to other parts of our galaxy to live. Science is still a long way off that, but the idea is still alive.

Sepak takraw

Have you heard of sepak takraw? It’s a sport in Southeast Asia which ( PLAY ) like volleyball, except players use their feet to kick the ball and not their hands.

The sport has been around since the 15th century, with records ( SHOW ) that it was played by one of the royal families of the Malay region at that time.

The word ‘sepak’ is Malay for ‘kick’ and ‘takraw’ is Thai for ‘woven ball’; thus, the name of the sport literally means ‘kick ball’. The combination of these words from different languages represents a symbol of solidarity between two of the ( POWERFUL ) countries in the region.

A special occasion

Sarah and John worked for a transport service helping elderly people get round town. It was Friday and they ( DRIVE ) through heavy London traffic to get to Ms Harris’s house to take her to her doctor’s surgery.

When they arrived, they rang the bell and were greeted by Ms Harris. ‘Please, come inside. I’m not quite ready to leave, so have a seat and make ( YOU ) comfortable,’ she said.

They sat in her living room and waited, but after about fifteen minutes, they started to worry. ‘Maybe she ( FALL ) down and she can’t get up,’ said Sarah.

Trans-Siberian Railway

Russia’s Trans-Siberian Railway is a source of great pride for the country. No railway in the world goes ( FAR ) than this one, stretching 9,289 kilometres to connect Moscow with the Russian Far East.

SEAT Reveals Electric Plans, Will Release a New Car Every Six Months Until 2020

SEAT will launch one new car every six months until 2020. The first two vehicles will be the SEAT Tarraco and the CUPRA Ateca, which are going on sale at the end of 2018.

Next year the new generation SEAT Leon will be available in dealerships with two variants, the five-door model and the ST family sized version.

The following year – 2020 – will see SEAT’s first fully electric vehicle, built on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform and featuring a range of 500 kilometres and, for the first time, the addition of a CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) in the SEAT model line-up.

This was announced today by SEAT President Luca de Meo at the annual results presentation to the media held in Madrid. SEAT is taking a step forward in boosting electric mobility, which includes the hybrid version of the new generation Leon, also in 2020. In addition, the brand will remain committed to vehicles powered with compressed natural gas (CNG) as well as internal combustion engines.

2017, a year of records

SEAT successfully concluded 2017. After achieving its best results in history in 2016, its profit after tax in 2017 grew to 281* million euros, which is 21.3% more than the previous year (2016: 232 million), excluding the extraordinary effect of the sale of the VW Finance, S. A. subsidiary to Volkswagen AG. Furthermore, the operating profit amounted to 116 million euros (2016: 143) as a result of higher volumes and higher investment activities due to new products with higher depreciation.

SEAT’s turnover reached a record figure of 9.552 billion euros in 2017, which is 11.1% more than the year prior (2016: 8.597). This was driven by the company’s sales momentum, posting the highest volume since 2001 with 468,400 vehicle deliveries making SEAT one of the fastest growing brands in Europe, and an improved vehicle mix led by the Ateca, a model with a better contribution margin. Since 2013, SEAT’s turnover has gone up close to 50%.

According to Luca de Meo, “2017 was a new year of records for SEAT”. From a sales standpoint, “the 2017 results are the outcome of a balanced development of all our models. Today we have one of the youngest ranges on the market, a little more than three years on average, which covers all the relevant segments in Europe with class leading products.” De Meo added that “in just a few years we have turned SEAT into a relevant brand for a vast majority of European customers.”

The new model offensive comes as a result of the highest investment figure since the Martorell factory was built in 1992. Last year, SEAT allocated 962 million euros to investments and R&D expenses, which is 11.6% more than in 2016 (862), and 10.1% of the brand’s total turnover. Of this amount, 464 million euros were earmarked entirely for R&D, a figure which represents close to 3% of the total R&D investment expenses in Spain, making SEAT the leading industrial investor in Spain.

From 2013 to 2017, SEAT invested more than 3.3 billion euros in its future, mainly allocated to its biggest ever product offensive, as well as to developing new services to achieve the goal of placing the company at the forefront of digitisation, connectivity and smart mobility.

SEAT Vice-President for Finance, IT and Organisation Holger Kintscher emphasised that “in 2017 we improved all our main financial indicators. SEAT continues to invest in its future and this is generating excellent results. We completed the largest investment in 25 years, and thanks to this effort in renewing and extending our product range, we have established all-time records for net sales, profit after tax before extraordinary effects and operating cash flow.” Kintscher added that “SEAT’s strategy is working and we have reached our goal of profitability. We are a sustainable company and are ready to face future challenges and finance our growth plans.”

In 2017, SEAT also increased the ability to finance its activity by relying on its own resources. In this sense, cash flow rose by 24.4% to reach the record figure of 947 million euros (2016: 761), which is almost three times more than in 2013 and demonstrates the company’s financial sustainability. SEAT has the necessary resources to deal with the technological transformation of the automotive sector and guarantee financial stability.

Moreover, in 2017 SEAT exported 81.1% of its business volume and established itself as Spain’s main industrial exporter, accounting for close to 3% of the total figure for the country. SEAT’s goal for upcoming years is to step up the internationalisation of the brand and keep growing beyond Europe.

From an industrial standpoint, SEAT debuted the new MQB A0 platform in Martorell in 2017 with the launch of the Ibiza and the Arona. Both models, together with the Leon and the Audi Q3, which will be replaced by the Audi A1 in the second half of 2018, have taken Martorell to 95% of the factory’s current capacity. In addition, the MQB A0 platform contributes to stability, as it guarantees a high-volume production output over the next 10 years.

The increase in production and the scope of the company’s future plans translated into more employment. The SEAT Group workforce grew by a total of 185 employees in 2017, and so far this year 265 more have been added. Furthermore, as established in SEAT’s collective bargaining agreement, the employees are going to receive a profit distribution bonus payment for the results obtained of 700 euros each, which is almost 50% more than the amount they received the previous year.

More brands, more markets, more cars and more energies

During his presentation on the company’s future plans, Luca de Meo indicated that SEAT’s growth will be based on four pillars: “more brands, more markets, more cars and more energies.” In this sense, in the first quarter of the year SEAT has launched CUPRA, which has always been the ultimate expression of sportiness, and from now on is set to become “a brand that generates more income, attracts new customers, remains committed to motorsport, seamlessly integrates technologies such as electrification, hybridisation, connectivity and driver assistants and enhances the image, credibility and reputation of the entire SEAT organisation”, explained Luca de Meo.

SEAT also recently created XMOBA, a new company whose main goal is to identify, test, sell and invest in projects that improve future mobility. XMOBA and CUPRA join SEAT Metropolis:Lab Barcelona, SEAT’s wholly owned digital-lab inaugurated in 2017, which is a part of the Volkswagen Group’s worldwide network of IT-Labs. The three new companies, together with SEAT, are beginning to shape “a holding with core activities and small companies under the same umbrella. Our intention is to combine the best of a solid corporate structure with the agility, flexibility and speed of start-ups.”

Furthermore, Luca de Meo reaffirmed SEAT’s commitment to opening outward and building a digital ecosystem around the car. Within this framework are the partnerships and agreements reached with companies such as Amazon Alexa, Shazam, Waze, Telefónica or Saba. “We want to be an important actor in the connected car revolution. Our ambition is to become a front-runner.”

Luca de Meo also pointed to SEAT’s globalisation as a further pillar of the strategy. The company operates in more than 80 countries, but only 15% of sales are made outside Europe. In this sense, the strategic growth regions are Northern Africa, where SEAT leads the Volkswagen Group’s vehicle assembly project in Algeria, and Latin America and Mexico, where the company is studying the feasibility of producing. In addition, markets have been opened recently in Norway and New Zealand, now making the company present on all five continents. SEAT is also participating in the joint venture between Volkswagen Group China and JAC by contributing its technical support and know-how in R&D and design.

In order to continue growing, SEAT will keep extending its model line-up. Luca de Meo announced that “SEAT is going to launch one new car every six months until 2020” and also revealed that “2020 will be SEAT’s year of electrification with the launch of a plug-in hybrid version of the new SEAT Leon, to be built in the Martorell factory and featuring a range of at least 50 kilometres, as well as the brand’s first fully electric vehicle, manufactures on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform.”

SEAT’s first electric vehicle, which has been previewed in video images, will be competitively priced, feature a range of up to 500 kilometres and come equipped with the most advanced connectivity and infotainment systems on the market and minimum level 2 autonomous driving capability.

The President of SEAT also reaffirmed the company’s commitment to vehicles fuelled with compressed natural gas (CNG). “We are leading the CNG vehicle technical development project within the Volkswagen Group. With the Arona TGI we are launching this year we will have the only SUV in the world powered with natural gas.”
