After years of near silence, complex legal battles, and a long list of unfulfilled promises, the Dutch manufacturer is once again preparing a return, this time with a new C8 Preliator set to debut during Monterey Car Week 2026, with appearances at both The Quail and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

MANSORY has officially stepped into the Chinese EV space with the Zeekr 9X by MANSORY and on paper, it should be a big moment. A high-performance hybrid SUV with 1,381 hp, wrapped in full customisation, targeting a new generation of luxury buyers. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: This isn’t evolution. This is escalation.

Porsche doubles down on emotion, even in the electric era Porsche isn’t backing away from the coupe SUV. Not even slightly. With the debut of the Cayenne Coupé Electric, the message from Stuttgart is crystal clear: electrification will not come at the expense of emotion. If anything, it’s being amplified.

Volvo has officially pulled the trigger on what might be its most important electric car to date. The Volvo EX60 is now rolling off the production line in Torslanda, Sweden, marking not just the start of deliveries this summer, but the beginning of a new phase in Volvo’s electrification strategy.

The BMW 7 Series has always been more than just a luxury sedan. It’s BMW’s statement. Its testing ground. Its vision of what comes next. With the 2026 update, BMW isn’t reinventing the 7 Series, it’s repositioning it.

According to new registration data, nearly 1 in 5 Cybertrucks sold in Q4 2025 didn’t actually go to independent customers, they were delivered to companies owned by Elon Musk himself. Think SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink, xAI. On paper, that’s sales. In reality, it raises a different question: is demand really there?

Together with French manufacturer DAB Motors, BRABUS has introduced three models that feel less like traditional bikes and more like design objects with attitude: the DAB 1a BRABUS, the BRABUS Urban E, and a highly exclusive Urban E First Edition. This isn’t about chasing superbike performance. This is about redefining what premium urban mobility can look and feel like.

smart is trying to do something hard: make people fall in love with the city car again. At its Global Brand Event in Beijing, the brand unveiled the smart Concept #2, a clear preview of the upcoming all-electric successor to the iconic two-seater. And this isn’t just another EV. This is smart attempting a full reset.

With BMW taking full control of ALPINA, the Bovensiepen family (the people behind the brand) have stepped out and started something new. And their first statement is anything but subtle. Meet the Bovensiepen Zagato. A coachbuilt grand tourer with Italian design, German engineering, and a price tag that immediately tells you this is not business as usual.

The electric car market in Europe doesn’t need another statement piece. It needs something that actually works. That’s exactly where the new Hyundai IONIQ 3 comes in, not as a halo car, not as a design experiment, but as a deliberate answer to what European drivers have been asking for all along: a compact, efficient, usable electric car that makes sense every single day.

There’s always that one moment when a car stops being “just another new model” and starts feeling like a turning point. This is one of those moments. Because what Mercedes-Benz has done with the all-new electric C-Class isn’t simply add an EV to the lineup. It’s taken one of Europe’s most important cars and quietly rebuilt it from the ground up for a completely different future.

Every now and then, a number appears that forces the entire industry to pause. 2,2 L/100 km. That’s what Geely claims (and now officially backs with a Guinness-certified result) for its new i-HEV hybrid system. In a world obsessed with full electric vehicles, this isn’t just impressive. It’s disruptive. Because this isn’t about the future. This is about what works right now.
