Europeans love vans. BYD knows this. The BYD SEAL 6 DM-i Touring is aimed squarely at the Passat and Superb: electric most of the time, petrol when the road demands more. And it does so with a promise of up to 1,350 km of range.

In recent months, there have been rumors that Apple will raise prices again with the new generation of iPhone 17. However, a recent report from JPMorgan brings slightly more optimistic news - at least for the US market.
Apple has officially announced its fall “Awe dropping” event for September 9. The focus will be on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, which are rumored to get a completely new rear with a horizontal “camera bar”, A19 Pro chip (3 nm), 12 GB RAM, Wi-Fi 7, larger screens (up to 6.9") and upgraded optics: for the first time, all three rear cameras are said to be 48 MP, and the selfie is 24 MP. As always: some things are official, but not much is yet — so we're marking what's official and what's “work-in-progress”.
The Albishorn Marinagraph is a new watch from Swiss indie manufacturer Albishorn, which “invents vintage” – it designs watches as if they were made in the past, but no one made them at the time. It combines the cleanliness of a diver’s skin with a very useful regatta countdown and tide bezel. Translated from horological to everyday language: the watch measures the time until the start of a sailing regatta and also helps to understand when the tide is changing. Price: CHF 3,950, limited to 99 pieces per color.
From electric hypercars to digital concepts and nostalgic throwbacks – Munich will transform into the European automotive capital in September with the IAA 2025 event, where even the Germans may for the first time admit that the Chinese know how to make cars.
Audi has revealed the Audi Concept C – a bold, electric two-seater with the brand’s new design philosophy. Targa roof, vertical frame and four light bars. Production version? Announced for 2027 and almost identical to the concept.
After a false alarm in February, it's now official: the Volvo V90 is retiring, with no direct successor. The future from Gothenburg smells of SUVs, the electric ES90 and – ironically – the return of the XC70 name, which is no longer a station wagon, but an SUV.
When Apple introduced the iPhone 6 in 2014, we got a bigger screen, but also an unwanted bonus: the first protruding camera module. A small “pimple” that turned into a real mountain with each new generation. If the rumors are true, this “Everest” will reach its peak with the upcoming iPhone 17. But it is saved by Mynus MAGBACK.
This isn't just a buggy. This is a California fantasy that ate Weissach for breakfast: the OTTO WERKS Meyers Manx Buggy with a 2.2-liter Willhoit engine, 170 hp, and details from a 356. In Ivy Green, it hits a nerve. Five examples. All already sold.
Red Yacht Design is launching a new brand, Manari Yachts, with its first model, the Manari 52, a Mediterranean day boat with folding sides and a balcony alongside, and an IPS drive that promises up to 44.6 knots. In the 52-foot class, it bets on design, speed and rarity.
In a world where artificial intelligence is already taking over our jobs, chatting with us like old friends and occasionally making up facts, the internet has come up with a new, rather spicy way to express frustration. Meet the "clanker" — a term that sprung from Star Wars and is now synonymous with anything that annoys us about AI. And yes, if you ask ChatGPT, it might think you're talking about old British slang for metallic sounds. How ironic, right?
Audi has been teasing on social media, and Canada has inadvertently pressed “announce.” The new electric sports concept – dubbed the Audi TT Moment 2.0 – will be officially revealed ahead of the IAA Mobility show in Munich. And yes, they’re promising a production version within two years.
