Every now and then, the automotive world reminds you that not everything has to make sense. Sometimes, it just has to exist. Because long before electric scooters flooded European cities and “last-mile mobility” became a buzzword used in every pitch deck, Mazda quietly built one of the strangest vehicles you’ve probably never heard of. A car. Inside a suitcase.

There was a moment (not that long ago) when the idea of a four-door Ferrari felt almost sacrilegious. Now, Ferrari is pushing that philosophy one step further. Meet the Handling Speciale configuration: a more focused, sharper, and ultimately more emotional interpretation of what is already one of the most debated cars in Ferrari’s modern history.

Sixty years after its debut, Alfa Romeo is celebrating one of its most emotionally charged creations with a dedicated exhibition titled “Spider is Alfa Romeo” at its museum in Arese, bringing together heritage, design and something the modern automotive industry often struggles to recreate: pure, uncomplicated driving emotion.

Every once in a while, a car arrives that doesn’t just fit into the market, it reshapes it. The all-new Volkswagen ID. Polo feels like exactly that moment. Because while the industry has been busy chasing bigger batteries, higher prices and increasingly complex positioning, Volkswagen has quietly done something far more important: it has taken one of Europe’s most iconic cars and translated it into an electric format that actually makes sense.

In a world where automotive luxury is increasingly defined by restraint, heritage and quiet confidence, there’s a small group of tuners doing the exact opposite and chances are you’ve never heard of one of the most extreme among them. Meet Venuum.

There are fast cars, there are hypercars, and then there are machines that exist purely to bend reality and Ford has just delivered exactly that. The Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 2200 has officially become the fastest electric drag car ever recorded, blasting through the quarter mile in 6.87 seconds and crossing the line at 357 km/h (222.36 mph).

The updated Audi Q4 e-tron doesn’t try to reinvent the segment. Instead, it does something arguably far more important: it fixes what needed fixing, sharpens what already worked, and quietly positions itself as one of the most complete electric daily drivers in Europe today. Because let’s be honest, the Q4 e-tron was always a strong seller. It just never quite felt like a fully finished Audi.

Barilla, now officially the Official Pasta Partner of Formula 1, has just unveiled its latest creation, Racing Wheels, a limited-edition pasta shape inspired by one of the most iconic components of an F1 car: its wheels. At first glance, it feels playful. Look closer, and it becomes something more strategic.

Following a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding, Volvo Cars is set to take over the commercial and brand operations of Lynk & Co in Europe, effectively becoming the execution engine behind the brand’s next growth phase on the continent. On paper, it’s a logical step. In reality, it might redefine what Lynk & Co actually is in Europe.
