If you've ever wondered what it would be like to own your own Le Mans race car - without the hassle of FIA red tape - then the Aston Martin Valkyrie LM is just that. Limited to just ten examples, brutal enough to make you dizzy, and with enough prestige to get you invited to dinner at Gaydon. It's a car that doesn't need a number plate - because the road isn't enough.

Volkswagen has confused us again: they are developing an ultra-advanced electric platform, the VolkswagenSSP, which – believe it or not – supports internal combustion engines. But beware: these engines do not drive the wheels. Sound like a joke? It is not. And this is just the beginning…
BMW is no longer a sideline player – it now wants to direct the electric future. The BMW iX5 and iX7 come straight from the USA and promise to revolutionize the luxury SUV story.
Google Flights data collected between 2021 and 2025 shows that the cheapest days to depart are Tuesday, Monday and Wednesday, with prices up to 20% lower than on weekends. Buying tickets between 21 and 52 days before travel usually yields the biggest savings, but for international flights it is wise to buy your ticket 50 – 101 days before departure. You can save even more by choosing connecting flights and turning on price tracking. When and on which day are airline tickets the cheapest?!

If last year the Apple Watch Series 10 tried to celebrate its tenth anniversary with a design overhaul that was so subtle that many people didn't even notice it, this year the expectations are a bit higher. Especially since Apple's watches have been losing market share for two years in a row (yes, even Xiaomi now has a smartwatch for half a snack). So it's no surprise that the tech public is full of expectations to see if the Apple Watch Series 11 will finally bring something more than just "another year, another chip". Below we summarize the most interesting rumors - from the release date to 5G connectivity and (non-invasive) blood pressure measurement. No, there will still be no camera - but hey, who really wants to take pictures from their wrist?
The Avatr 07 is the new hero of the Chinese electric SUV market, coming from the star trio of Changan, CATL and Huawei. Yes, you read that right – this car has more in common with your smartphone than with your uncle’s diesel Passat. It is available in pure electric (BEV) and extended range hybrid (EREV) versions, and it is priced very confidently – from 219,900 CNY (about 29,000 €), which is almost tastelessly affordable in the “premium SUV with massage seats” class. And it aims high: the competition includes names like Tesla Model Y, Nio ES6 and BYD Tang. Feeling threatened? Maybe you should.
The new generation Jeep Compass 2026 is here and – surprisingly or not – it brings the most that this compact SUV has ever offered. It will be available in different drive flavors: from a mild hybrid for urban adventurers to an electric model for quiet but determined eco-fighters. In the electric version with a 74 kWh battery, front-wheel drive and a range of up to 500 kilometers (according to WLTP), the price will start at € 50,400 – and that's for the First Edition version. Yes, so it's not an ascetic basic version, but a model that is already specifically equipped.
It's early June, and the air in Cupertino smells not of innovation but of panic — and perhaps a little of the sweat from under the designer-tailored shirts of Apple executives. This is what's happening at WWDC 2025.
