Range Rover has quietly admitted something many drivers already knew. Buttons still matter. For the 2027 model year, the Range Rover is bringing back physical controls to the centre console, including a volume knob and a Terrain Response controller. It may sound like a small interior update, but it says a lot about the wider direction of modern car design.

Alongside its Hypercar presence, the Magma GT Concept and the Magma GT3 Concept, the Korean luxury brand is also bringing two evolved Genesis X Gran Convertible Concept models to the Le Mans Drivers’ Parade. Originally introduced at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show, the open-top concepts now return with more striking colourways, stronger Magma references and a clearer sense of where Genesis wants its most exclusive luxury design language to go.

In 2018, Automobiles Gillet took on one of the most demanding challenges in global motorsport: the legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado. Known as the Race to the Clouds, the event climbs nearly 20 kilometres through 156 corners before finishing at more than 4,300 metres above sea level. The car was a Gillet Vertigo. The driver was Vanina Ickx.

The Korean luxury brand has revealed the Genesis Magma GT3 Concept at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, outlining a possible future direction for Genesis Magma Racing beyond its FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar program. And while this is still a concept, not a confirmed race car, the message is becoming very clear. Genesis wants motorsport credibility.

Fernando Alonso is not retiring yet. But for the first time in a long time, it feels like the end is no longer just a distant idea. Ahead of the 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, the two-time Formula 1 world champion admitted that this weekend is “probably” his final F1 race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Genesis has reintroduced the Magma GT Concept with an all-new interior, giving its dramatic two-seat grand tourer a more complete and convincing identity. An earlier version of the concept was already shown in November 2025, but this Le Mans appearance feels more important. Not because the exterior suddenly changed the rules of sports car design, but because the cabin now tells us much more about what Genesis wants Magma to become.

At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, BMW revealed the BMW M Concept Neue Klasse, a dramatic all-electric performance concept that previews the next design language for future high-performance models from BMW M GmbH. And while BMW is not officially calling this the electric M3 yet, the message is clear: this is our first serious look at what a new generation of fully electric M cars could become.

Mercedes-Benz is making the new electric GLC a little more accessible. The brand has expanded the GLC electric range with two new versions: the GLC 250 electric and the GLC 300 4MATIC electric. Prices now start from €64,130 for the rear-wheel-drive GLC 250 electric, while the all-wheel-drive GLC 300 4MATIC electric starts from €67,760.
