Mercedes-Benz discontinued the G-Class Cabriolet in 2013, causing a silent mourning in the world of the ultra-rich. But in Bottrop, home to Brabus, the word "no way" is not familiar. They took the current AMG G 63, cut off the roof, added portal axles, and created something that is both an engineering marvel and a complete madness. Meet the Brabus XL 800 Cabrio.
The 1970s were a strange time. People wore pants they couldn't walk in, people smoked on airplanes, and car safety was a passing thought, somewhere between choosing the color of an ashtray and the type of leather. But it was in this chaos that BMW's Bob Lutz said, "Enough is enough," and started a factory racing team. The result? The machine you're looking at. This isn't just any old BMW. This is Genesis. This is "Patient Zero." The first M-badged car to ever hit the road. And now it can be yours. BMW 3.0 CSL Werks
CM - Auto Journalist Gem by me These are editorial instructions that I take deadly seriously. I have prepared an article that smells of petrol, leather and that special mix of Italian chaos and brilliance. Here it is. Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio 'Collezione': V-6 returns because electrics are not (yet) sexy enough Goodbye silence, hello Akrapovič and a cancelled funeral! We thought we had said goodbye. We prepared tissues, wrote a eulogy and sniffed the exhaust pipe one last time. But look at it, in typical Stellantis Group fashion, where decisions change faster than the weather in the mountains, Alfa Romeo has done a "salto mortale". The petrol engine is not dead. In fact, it is returning in its noblest form, to send shivers down our spines once more before the bureaucrats finally force us into silence. So the Quadrifoglio 'Collezione'.
Crossovers. These days, they're like that pop song on every radio station - everyone has them, everyone drives them, and even if you secretly want an impractical Italian sports car, you'll probably end up buying an SUV. Why? Because they're practical, because they make you feel safe, and because, let's be honest, your spine isn't what it was in your twenties. But when it comes to your hard-earned money, it's not just how a car looks outside the local coffee shop that matters, it's whether it'll actually get you to work on a rainy Tuesday morning. Consumer Reports just dropped a truth bomb about which cars don't actually break down. Brace yourselves, the results are a slap in the face to European egos and a victory for Japanese engineering.
Humanity has always dreamed of flying. From Icarus, who had trouble melting wax, to us, who get stuck in endless columns of metal every morning and dream of the eject button. But what if I told you that the future is not in wings, but in something that looks like a floating game console? It is - the LEO Solo JetBike.
Elon Musk is like that friend who is always late for dinner, but when he finally arrives, he brings the best wine. It's November 2025. The year that, according to our spring predictions at City Magazine, was supposed to be a breakthrough year for "baby Tesla" is coming to an end. Let's remember: in March, we wrote that the "Model Q" (or Model 2, or even Model 1, as we affectionately called it in May) would hit the roads in June. What did we get? A cheaper Model 3 and a bunch of new promises about robotaxis. But don't be disappointed. Everything suggests that the delay was a tactical move of genius - or just chaos in Texas. Either way, 2026 is the year.
My people, the world is going crazy. Everyone is buying refrigerators on wheels that we call SUVs, and no one appreciates the wind in your hair, the smell of gasoline, and the feeling of your butt gliding just a few inches above the asphalt anymore. But before we finally turn off the lights and plug in, BMW is offering us one last, glorious “Auf Wiedersehen.” This is the BMW Z4 Final Edition 2026. And if you have even a little gasoline in your blood, you will stop scrolling through Instagram right now and start listening.
The BMW X4 is saying goodbye, but don't mourn it too soon. Here comes the BMW iX4, built on the Neue Klasse platform, promising 345 kW of power, futuristic design, and that signature Bavarian arrogance we all secretly love.
Most cars smell like plastic or "new car" air fresheners. But this Porsche smells like success, Cuban cigars, and probably your lover's very expensive perfume. This isn't just a means of transportation; it's a 500-kilowatt living room. This is the Porsche Panamera Turbo Sonderwunsch.
Land Rover has a relationship with the Dakar that resembles those long-running romances where everyone pretends to “get serious for once”. Range Rovers reigned supreme in the heyday of the Paris-Dakar Rally, and then decades of typical British tinkering followed: some factory support, some heroic privateers, some touching Race2Recovery stories… but never that grand, uncompromising comeback. This time - the Land Rover Defender D7X-R - the vehicle to win its category.
The European car market has experienced a symbolic, almost historic shift this year: plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) have overtaken diesel engines for the first time. While diesel was virtually untouchable a decade ago, today it ranks only fourth and seems to be rapidly creeping towards the periphery of the automotive world. In the first ten months of 2025, diesel's market share fell to just 8 percent, while PHEVs - Plug-in hybrids - are already reaching 9.4 percent and confidently taking over its former position.
CFMOTO has unveiled its latest two-wheeled chic: the CFMOTO Papio SS 2026, a mini café racer that first captivates with a pair of headlights that resemble wide-open eyes. It's as if the bike has just realized it's become the center of attention - and honestly, you can't blame it. It's an updated and even more compact version of the 2024 model, dressed in a retro orange-beige combination that looks like an homage to the 80s, but without the climbing hair.
