In modern motorsport, the lines between disciplines are becoming increasingly fluid. Drivers who once focused exclusively on Formula One are now exploring other categories of racing, rediscovering the raw appeal of endurance racing and GT machinery. The latest name to join that movement is Lance Stroll.

With a blistering 6:15.977 lap, the Ford GT Mk IV has officially become the fastest American OEM vehicle ever to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife and the third fastest car of any type to ever tame the circuit. For a machine that represents the final evolution of the third-generation Ford GT, the moment feels almost symbolic.

Some cars don’t just belong to motorsport history, they helped write it. Few machines illustrate that better than the Lola T70, one of the most iconic racing prototypes ever produced by Lola Cars. Now, more than half a century after its debut, the legendary machine is making a remarkable comeback.

The global automotive industry is built on scale. But scale also means that when a technical issue emerges, the impact can quickly reach hundreds of thousands of vehicles across multiple markets. That is precisely what is happening at Stellantis, which has announced a recall affecting around 700,000 vehicles worldwide due to a potential fire risk. The recall spans a wide range of brands within the Stellantis portfolio, including Peugeot, Citroën, DS Automobiles, Alfa Romeo, Jeep, Fiat, and Opel. Among those vehicles, approximately 22,000 cars are located in Belgium, according to information confirmed to Belga.

Sometimes a new car arrives that doesn’t just introduce a model, it signals a shift for an entire brand. That is precisely what happened with the BMW iX3, which has now been crowned both “World Car of the Year 2026” and “World Electric Vehicle 2026.” The awards were announced during the New York International Auto Show, where the first production model of BMW Neue Klasse secured a double victory against dozens of competitors.

Every few months the automotive world rediscovers an uncomfortable truth: design inspiration can sometimes look a lot like imitation. This time the spotlight falls on SAIC Motor, a company best known in Europe as the parent brand behind MG and notably also a long-standing partner of Volkswagen Group. At a recent technology event hosted by the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance, SAIC unveiled two new electric models aimed at China’s upper-midrange EV market: the Z7 fastback sedan and the Z7T shooting brake.

When Bugatti unveiled the Bugatti La Voiture Noire at the Geneva Motor Show in 2019, the car instantly became legendary. Only one example would ever exist. And with an original asking price exceeding €9 million before taxes, it was immediately hailed as the most expensive new car ever offered to a private customer at the time. But who bought it? For years, that question remained unanswered. Until now.

The British marque is preparing for what may be the most radical transformation in its history. Later this year, Jaguar will unveil a fully electric four-door grand tourer, a car designed not only to mark the brand’s transition into a new era, but to redefine what a modern Jaguar should feel like. And interestingly, the inspiration for that future came from the past.

At Le Castellet in southern France, Genesis Magma Racing officially unveiled the GMR-001 Hypercar, the machine that will carry the brand into the FIA World Endurance Championship starting in the 2026 season. And in typical Genesis fashion, the project isn’t just about racing. It’s about identity.

The latest version of the Mercedes-Benz GLS has arrived as a comprehensive evolution of the brand’s well-known flagship luxury SUV, reinforcing its reputation as the “S-Class among SUVs.”

The updated 2026 GLE from Mercedes-Benz arrives as a refined evolution of one of the brand’s most important SUVs, blending understated design tweaks with meaningful upgrades in technology, comfort, and efficiency. Rather than reinventing the formula, Mercedes-Benz has focused on enhancing what already works. Delivering a more intelligent, connected, and polished driving experience.

Mercedes-AMG continues to refine its performance SUV formula with the latest evolution of the GLE 53 family. More powerful, more digital, and more visually assertive, the updated model range reflects a clear ambition: to blend traditional AMG performance with electrified efficiency without compromising character.
