The Stuttgart-based sports car maker has reported another sharp decline in global sales for the first quarter of 2026, extending the downturn that already defined a difficult 2025. And the reasons behind it reveal how dramatically the luxury car market is changing.

On April 10, 2026, Tesla confirmed that Full Self-Driving (Supervised) has received official regulatory approval in the Netherlands, making it the first European country where customers can activate the system on public roads. Within days, the feature will begin rolling out to vehicles through over-the-air software updates, allowing Tesla drivers to experience one of the most advanced driver-assistance systems currently available.

In 1976, Citroën introduced something that would quietly reshape automotive marketing: the Citroën 2CV Spot, the brand’s very first limited-edition model. Only 1,800 cars were produced, and they sold out within days. Now, exactly 50 years later, the cheerful orange-and-white city car returns to the spotlight, celebrated as one of the most charming milestones in Citroën’s history.

Something extraordinary has just appeared on the internet. A short video circulating on social media shows Aston Martin testing what might be one of the wildest prototypes the company has ever built. The car looks less like a road car and more like a Formula 1 machine that escaped onto a private test track.

After more than four years of teasers, concepts and camouflaged prototypes, the moment has finally arrived. The CUPRA Raval has been officially unveiled. And with it, Cupra launches what might be one of the most important small electric cars in Europe’s next EV wave.

For 2026, the LEGO Technic range is preparing one of its most ambitious line-ups in years. No fewer than twelve new sets are expected to arrive between June and August, covering everything from hypercars and Formula 1 machinery to movie icons and classic sports cars. For automotive fans, the highlight is obvious: a new hypercar in the Ultimate Car series, alongside a Formula 1 model and several famous performance cars.

Long associated with rugged all-wheel-drive wagons, rally heritage and practical crossovers, the Japanese manufacturer is now expanding its electric lineup at an accelerating pace. The latest addition is the Subaru Getaway, a large three-row electric SUV capable of carrying seven passengers, delivering up to 420 horsepower and offering a driving range of more than 500 kilometres.

Fuel prices in Europe have crossed a psychological threshold once again. Starting this week, diesel in Belgium reaches €2.49 per litre, surpassing the peak levels seen during the 2022 energy crisis. And according to Fatih Birol, the current global energy shock could become more severe than the oil crises of 1973, 1979 and 2022 combined.

Sometimes a manufacturer must reinvent itself completely. That is exactly what Jaguar is attempting right now. After years of declining sales and an uncertain identity in the premium market, the British brand is preparing one of the most radical transformations in its history. At the center of that transformation sits the Jaguar Type 00, an all-electric grand tourer that is expected to define Jaguar’s future.
