The new Bentley Bentayga EWB Chalet Edition is a Mulliner creation developed in collaboration with The Gstaad Guy, the social media personality known for satirising ultra-wealthy Alpine life with just enough accuracy to make the joke feel expensive. Officially, Bentley describes it as the “ultimate chalet companion”, configured around comfort, warmth, craftsmanship and a very specific idea of understated Alpine luxury.

The Tesla Model S is dead. So is the Model X. Tesla has officially ended production of both models at its Fremont factory in California, closing the book on two cars that helped move electric vehicles from niche curiosity to mainstream ambition. The Model S ran for 14 years, while the Model X lasted 11 years.

The Ferrari SC40, a one-off berlinetta based on the 296 GTB and inspired by the legendary F40, has received the Red Dot: Best of the Best award in the Product Design 2026 category. More importantly, it is the first One-Off Ferrari ever to receive Red Dot’s highest distinction. Ferrari also received Red Dot awards for the Ferrari Amalfi, 849 Testarossa, 849 Testarossa Spider, 296 Speciale and 296 Speciale A.

Lamborghini clearly sees the United Kingdom as more than just another export market. The brand has officially inaugurated a new showroom in Poole, Dorset, marking its 13th dealership in the UK. The opening was attended by Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, and reinforces the UK’s position as one of Lamborghini’s top global markets.

The Dutch automotive retail group Van Mossel has agreed to acquire Porsche Centre Perth and Porsche Centre Aberdeen from Peter Vardy Group, adding two Porsche Centres and two Porsche Service Centres in Scotland to its growing international network. Completion is expected in the coming weeks, subject to approval from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.

Portugal has entered the supercar conversation with the Adamastor Furia, a carbon-fibre, Ford V6-powered, track-focused machine developed just north of Porto by a company that has spent years working with advanced composites. And that detail matters, because the Furia does not feel like random startup fantasy. It feels like a very ambitious, very Portuguese attempt to build a real supercar from the ground up.

At Fuori Concorso, Pagani is presenting the Zonda Cervino, a one-off creation that shows exactly why the Zonda remains one of the most fascinating hypercars ever built. More than two decades after the original Zonda helped define Pagani as a brand, the model is still not finished. It is still evolving, still being reimagined, and still becoming more valuable as an object of desire.

The new Volkswagen ID. Polo GTI will make its world premiere at the 24h Nürburgring, during a weekend where Volkswagen is celebrating 50 years of GTI. The timing is deliberate. Half a century after the original Golf GTI helped define the hot hatch segment, Volkswagen is using the Green Hell to show what GTI means in an electric future.

To celebrate its 130th anniversary, the German tuner has revealed the ABT CUPRA Formentor VZ5 635, a special edition limited to just 30 units worldwide. That number is part tribute, part statement: 130 years of ABT compressed into 30 cars that will never exist in this form again. The base car was already special.

The upgraded Polestar 3 now moves to an 800V electrical architecture, gains new batteries, new motors, faster charging, more computing power and a new range structure. The result is a flagship electric SUV that finally looks much sharper on paper, with DC fast charging up to 350 kW, a 10 to 80% charge in as little as 22 minutes, and a new Performance version producing 680 PS and 870 Nm.

The new Lamborghini Revuelto NA63 is a special edition created exclusively for North America, with all 63 units destined for the United States and Canada. The number 63 is not random, of course. It refers to 1963, the year Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the company, and gains extra meaning in 2026, the brand’s 63rd anniversary. And yes, for European Lamborghini fans, that makes this one slightly painful.

The brand that once wanted to become all-electric is now taking a different road. Under its new Focus 2030 strategy, Lotus will move towards a more flexible multi-powertrain future, combining ICE, PHEV and BEV models instead of forcing every product into a purely electric direction. The headline is impossible to ignore: an all-new Type 135 V8 hybrid supercar is planned for 2028, with more than 1000 PS.
