Some restomods sell you chrome and nostalgia. The Oshe Zambezi Defender sells you a story: African art and British engineering in one, with the deep bass of an eight-cylinder and the feeling that you just parked in a gallery.
The Volkswagen Grand California Dune – is a large camper that looks like it escaped from the Sahara dunes straight onto the highways of Europe. In 2026, it gets a special edition that adds a little off-road charm to the already solid Crafter base. It’s not a revolutionary thing that will change the world, but a smart upgrade for those who want the comfort of a hotel on wheels without giving up a sense of adventure. If you’ve ever dreamed of a road trip where neither a sand dune (with reservations) nor a rainy day will stop you, this is your van. But let’s be honest: in the age of electric dreams, the diesel giant is still the king of the long haul. Ironic, right? But I find something positive in it – finally a camper that looks like it can handle more than just a supermarket parking lot. And that’s what I expected from Volkswagen.
Europe and China are competing in 800-volt headlines, but Tesla insists on 400 V – because it sees how we really charge. Fifteen minutes for ~250–275 km? For most, that's it. Let's look at the numbers and what the industry, which sometimes loves megawatts too much, can learn from them. So - why doesn't Tesla need 800 V to beat everyone else?!
Munich is back in form with IAA Mobility 2025: the new BMW iX3, Mercedes-Benz GLC with EQ technology, CUPRA Tindaya, Renault Clio (6th gen.), Volvo EX60 and Hyundai Ioniq 2. Plus a bunch of concepts and autonomous driving on the A94. Are you ready? Brace yourself—seatbelts will be digital this year.
The new EU-US agreement opens up the market for American vehicles. Among them is Elon's legendary pickup truck, which could be rumbling on European roads this year. So the Tesla Cybertruck is coming to Europe?!
Porsche has prepared something very special for the Netherlands: the unique Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Manthey Kit “De Tulp”, affectionately called De Tulp. Pastel orange, tulips on the bodywork and even faster times on the Nürburgring. Yes, the Germans have gone all Dutch for now.
Tesla has indeed launched the return of the Tesla Model Y Performance (2025) into the configurator – and with numbers that would make many a “sports SUV” pretend to be just a family car. Let’s see what the new fast package hides.
Imagine driving a BMW M4 Convertible that pumps out 523 horsepower straight from the factory – enough to make most mortals say, “Thanks, that’ll do.” But G-Power, those German tuning madmen, aren’t content with average. Their G4M Hurricane Bi-Turbo Convertible takes the open-top M4 and transforms it into a 720-horsepower beast – the G-Power BMW M4 Convertible, which will outrun Ferraris and McLarens while you soak up the sun with the top down. Is that an exaggeration? Maybe. But in a world where speed is currency, it’s pure pleasure with a bit of irony – why have a supercar when you can have a convertible that costs less and delivers your coffee in style? Get ready for a ride that will awaken your inner racer.
Imagine going back to a time when cars were more than machines – works of art on wheels? The Bertone Runabout is just that: a revived 1969 concept, now available in a limited edition of 25. With a supercharged V6 engine that develops up to 460 hp and a 0-100 km/h sprint time of just 3 seconds, this Italian beauty promises a drive that will awaken your inner racer. But don't worry, it's not just for speed – it's also for those "dolce vita" moments by the sea.
Imagine a car that's like a French lover: elegant, a little arrogant, but always ready for adventure. The new Peugeot 308 and its wagon sibling, the 308 SW, are just that – a refreshed classic that combines a design that turns heads with technology that won't let you down. With an electric range of up to 450 km and engines for every taste, this is a car that proves that the French still know how to make a vehicle worth coveting. But will it beat its German competition? Read on to find out.
If you want to escape the city without a caravan of compromises: the VANDERER Two is a “high-roof station wagon” for every day, which with the Sleep & Storage module becomes a bedroom, dining room and improvised “coworking” under the open rear door in a minute. A low-profile ninja that parking garages say “here you go”.
