Citroën 2CV returns as affordable electric city car

It is official: the Citroën 2CV is coming back. And honestly, this might be one of the smartest things Citroën could do right now. Not because the world needs another retro badge. Not because every iconic name should be recycled. Not because nostalgia automatically sells cars. But because the original 2CV was never really about nostalgia in the first place. It was about freedom, affordability, simplicity and making mobility feel human.

Porsche 718 Boxster EV spotted testing without exhaust noise

After months of uncertainty around Porsche’s next-generation electric 718 Boxster and Cayman, a camouflaged prototype has now been spotted in the German countryside. The important detail? No visible exhaust. No engine noise. And underneath the camouflage, clear signs that this is not simply the current 718 with some disguise thrown over it.

Ram Rumble Bee SRT revealed with 777 hp and 274 km/h top speed

The Ram 1500 Rumble Bee is back, and the headline version is completely absurd. The new Rumble Bee SRT uses a 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V8, produces 777 hp and 921 Nm, and is being positioned by Ram as the fastest production truck ever. Ram’s own site introduces the new Rumble Bee as a muscle truck with availability starting late 2026, while the SRT sits at the top with the supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8.

Pagani opens first official showroom in Monaco

Pagani and Monaco always felt like they belonged together. One is a tiny universe of extreme craftsmanship, impossible materials and obsessive detail. The other is a tiny universe of wealth, collectors, supercars and automotive theatre. So the opening of Pagani de Monaco, the first official Pagani showroom and after-sales service centre in the Principality, feels less like an expansion and more like something that was always supposed to happen.

Carbonerre GT1 Manta transforms the Porsche 911 into a GT1 tribute

Some cars do not need a full press campaign to stop the internet. The Carbonerre GT1 Manta is one of them. It is not an official Porsche model. It is not a factory 911 GT1 revival. It is not some carefully polished OEM heritage project. Instead, it is a radical Porsche 911-based transformation by Carbonerre Motors, built as a futuristic tribute to one of the most mythical Porsche race cars ever: the 911 GT1.
