There are days when motorsport feels like pure theatre. Speed, precision, adrenaline, everything that makes people fall in love with cars in the first place. And then there are days like this. During a Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) qualifying race, experienced driver Juha Miettinen lost his life following a severe multi-car crash on the Nordschleife. He was 66 years old.

There are cars that follow trends. And then there are cars that create them. The Nissan Juke has always belonged to the second category, whether you liked it or not. Now, in 2026, Nissan is doing something far more ambitious than a redesign. It’s rewriting the entire concept. The all-new, third-generation Juke is going fully electric, marking one of the most symbolic shifts in the brand’s European strategy.

Back in 2005, the idea of a luxury SUV that could genuinely deliver performance wasn’t just rare, it was almost controversial. Range Rover changed that. With the arrival of the first Range Rover Sport, the brand didn’t just launch a new model. It created an entirely new identity, one that blended off-road credibility with real on-road dynamics. Not just comfort, not just capability… but attitude.

There was a time when the Tesla Model S was the future. Not just another electric car, but the electric car, the one that forced the entire industry to wake up, rethink itself, and start moving faster than it ever had before. The Model X followed with a similar ambition, adding bold design and family practicality into Tesla’s growing ecosystem.

A new unofficial coast-to-coast record has just been set, with two drivers covering roughly 3,800 kilometres from Jacksonville, Florida to San Diego, California in just 22 hours and 38 minutes. That’s an average speed of about 167 km/h, sustained across an entire country. Not a track. Not a closed road. Real highways.

Tesla built its reputation on a simple but powerful idea: the car you buy today will improve tomorrow. That promise made people accept higher prices, minimalist interiors, and the occasional rough edge. You weren’t just buying a car, you were buying into something evolving over time. In Europe, that promise is now under real pressure.

There are fast cars. There are track cars. And then there’s this. A Porsche 911 GT3 RS fitted with the Manthey Kit has just lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6:45.389 and that number doesn’t just impress, it shifts the conversation. Because this isn’t a stripped-out race car. It’s still, technically, a road car.

France has officially voted to abolish its low-emission zones, a decision that could allow nearly three million older, more polluting vehicles back into major cities. It’s not fully done yet, but the signal is loud and clear: the balance between environmental ambition and social reality is shifting. And if France moves, Europe pays attention.

There are luxury SUVs… and then there are statements. With the new Cullinan Yachting collection, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars doesn’t just build cars, it translates an entire lifestyle into metal, wood and light. And not just any lifestyle, but one of the most exclusive on earth: modern yachting.
