Many car brands are trying to attract attention with the help of futuristic studies that will shape the automotive technological top in the coming years. In the vast majority, electricity is in the foreground as the central or at least assisting mode of propulsion, and in the field of advanced technology, even the first examples with systems for autonomous driving.

Miha has been involved in motoring since he was 24 years old, when he took over the position of motoring editor at the then still emerging newspaper Žurnal. In addition, in the following years, he also wrote about everything related to technology and technologies in development, and as an idea leader he also set up many recognizable projects, such as Varčni Voznik, Karting Zvezd and Žurnalov Avto Leta. He is now continuing his journey as a marketing manager at the Volan show, where he takes care of projects such as Red Steering Wheel, Varno za Volanom and the like. One of the main guidelines in his reporting on everything related to technology has always been: ecology, quality of living, as well as the advantages that advanced technology brings to the average person or user.
The showrooms of most car manufacturers are bursting with new products this year as well, and the new models are spread over the entire model range. If anything, this year there are fewer innovations in supercars and exotics, and also electric cars have already somehow established themselves in the minds of people and buyers and have become almost self-evident.
Lamborghini has presented the fruits of their engineers' hard work in the form of the brand's first hybrid supercar, which brings a more elegant exterior in the style of the legendary Miura. Under the back cover, the well-known 5.2-liter V10 spins, which, together with as many as three electric motors, produces 669 kilowatts of power and can travel up to 50 km on electricity alone.
At the Paris show, Audi presents the third version of the TT model, which sounds like a sportback, but it is a five-door fastback version of this coupé beauty, which offers passengers four real seats and a corresponding amount of comfort. Under the hood is a technological pearl in the form of a 2.0-liter TFSI that develops as much as 294 kW or 400 hp
In the light of the Paris Motor Show, Ferrari presented the "topless" version of the 458 Italia Speciale, which sounds like the Aperta. The supercar is the most powerful serial spider model of this brand of all time, which will be produced in only 499 examples. It is powered by the same 4.5-liter V8 as in the Speciale version, which develops 445 kW or 605 hp.
Most people know the Skoda Octavio Scout as an off-road version of the Octavia, which differs from the Scouts in its slightly higher ground clearance, added off-road reinforcements and slightly better equipment than the Octavia's average. It is like this even now, as the off-road newcomer got the expected off-road zabel, which visually (enough) separates it from the other octavias.
After eight years, the smallest model with a trident on the nose received a renovation, which, in addition to the external image, focused on reducing noise in the passenger cabin, improving driving comfort and driving characteristics. The city kid Citroën C1 also stands out due to the greater possibility of personalization, which is so desirable today. Prices known at the end of the month when the sale ends.
Matchless motorcycles were originally manufactured between 1899 and 1966, making Matchless one of the oldest and most renowned British motorcycle manufacturers. Now they have started the revival of the famous low rider motorcycle from the distant year 1929, giving it a modern look and design, and the price will certainly be increased accordingly. The premiere of the X model will take place at the Milan show in November.
Based on the B-max, the blue oval offered two more robust versions intended for family and business. Both Ford cars, both the passenger Tourneo Courier and the delivery Transit Courier, can boast of "ecoboost in my connect" technology. The basic prices of both are below the psychological limit of 15,000 euros, and with transit courier it is possible to "deduct" VAT.
Bentley presented its flagship in the form of a 530-horsepower Mulsanne, whose speedometer exceeds the magical 300 km/h mark and stops five times higher. This is ensured by the handmade 6.75-liter biturbo V8, which develops a truck-load of 1,100 Nm of torque, and at the same time is a good tenth more economical than its less powerful brother.
Mercedes has published the first photos and technical data of the new C63 AMG, which will be available in two versions in terms of power. The more powerful one will develop 375 kW (510 hp), which is significantly more than the 317 kW that the Bavarian M3 can handle. The first deliveries to the most unexpected customers will be in February of next year, prices remain unknown for now.
The pioneer of the popular sports minivan segment will have its second world premiere in Paris, and you can expect it in showrooms next summer. Improvements in build quality, economy and technique. For engines, the new 1.5-liter ecoboost, four-wheel drive and Vignale version are also available.
