The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is a legend. But it usually smells of oil, mud and hard physical work. This time, however, Stuttgart decided to put a tuxedo on it, send it to the gym and dress the interior in leather that is probably softer than your home sofa. This is a Unimog that is not used to plow the fields, but to show dominance in front of the casino in Monte Carlo.
If you think car designers are just quiet artists in black suits drawing lines in the basement, you're wrong. At least not in the case of Gorden Wagener. He was a rock star. The man who took Mercedes' hat off and put on its sunglasses. But on January 31, 2026, that era is coming to an end. After 28 years and countless scratches on the clay (and probably on the egos of his competitors), Gorden Wagener is leaving Stuttgart.
Jaguar has done everything it can to make us hate it in recent months. With strange logos, advertising campaigns that look like a fashion show for aliens, and a promise not to "copy anything." But before we write off this British icon as a victim of its own marketing, let's pause. Underneath all that "woke" glitz, there's a monster. A three-engine monster that will tear up the asphalt faster than the Internet can tear up the nerves of purists. It's the Jaguar Type 00.
My dear petrol romantics, manual transmission lovers and those who still claim that "electronics in a car just die" - I have bad news. While you were still debating in 2025 whether diesel has a future (spoiler: it doesn't), the world moved forward. And not just moved - it jumped. Reports coming out of the US about the latest Tesla FSD v14 (Supervised) update are not just technical news. They are an obituary of driving as we knew it. And if you think I'm exaggerating, you're probably still using a Nokia 3310.
Imagine you're running a 100-meter sprint against Usain Bolt. He's already at the 90th meter, his muscles are working perfectly, his technique is impeccable. You're somewhere around the 60th meter, panting, your shoelaces untied, and your chest is tight. And what do you do? Instead of gritting your teeth and speeding up, you stop, call the judges, and demand that the finish line be moved to 150 meters, saying that will help you catch your rhythm.
In a world where cars have become sterile and wind-up-styled to the point of complete boredom, Jeep remains that old friend who comes to the party in muddy boots and with the best stories. And with the special edition 2026 Jeep Wrangler Whitecap, they've done something that few can manage - they've packaged nostalgia in a modern tin without coming across as pathetic. This isn't just a car; it's a reminder of a time when the white roof was the symbol of American summer.
Volkswagen is like that friend who is always late to a party. Everyone is already there – Tesla dancing on the table, the Chinese have already eaten all the chips, the French are flirting with the waitress. And then, when everyone is a little tired, VW enters. A little out of breath, with a shirt that is not completely ironed, but it brings with it the best beer and homemade sausage. The VW ID. Polo is exactly that. It missed the start of the electric revolution in the toddler segment, but now that it is here, it looks like it will take over the whole show.
If you've ever looked at a Bentley Continental GT and thought, "You know what this car is missing? It's missing that ominous feeling that it's about to swallow the universe," then you're in luck. Or you have serious psychological problems. Either way, Brabus has you covered. German tuners, who are probably the only people in the world who think a "factory warranty" is an insult to their masculinity, have taken the most aristocratic British grand tourer and turned it into something Batman would drive if he got tired of saving Gotham and decided to buy it and demolish it. It's the Brabus 900 Superblack. And it's completely absurd. In the best possible way.
At first glance, this is the kind of car your grandmother would drive to church on Sunday. It looks cute, nostalgic, and completely harmless in its Marathon Blue paint. But when the driver steps on the pedal, there's no such thing as the characteristic roar of an air-cooled boxer engine. There's silence, smoke from under the tires, and acceleration that should be illegal.
Ferdinand Alexander Porsche probably wouldn't have liked this car. Not because it wasn't good – on the contrary, it's fantastic – but because FA was a man of function, a purist who believed that design should be the silent servant of purpose. But 90 years after his birth, Porsche has created something that might even convince him to break his own rules: the 911 GT3, which is both a racing car and the world's most expensive fashion accessory.
Imagine the following situation: you are a successful individual, you probably own a small island or at least a significant piece of real estate in the center of the metropolis. In your garage stands the latest, technologically advanced Land Rover Defender Octa, a beast with a twin-turbo engine that drives as if physics does not exist. But next to it ... next to it is emptiness. Or, God forbid, an old Defender that is the "wrong" color. Horror, right? Well, Land Rover Classic has a solution to this "existential crisis". Now you can order a classic Defender with a V8 engine, which is matched to your new toy down to the last seam and pigment of paint. So - the Land Rover Classic Defender Octa.
The year 2026 is going to be a big one for the United States. They're celebrating 250 years of independence, which in their vocabulary means fireworks, fighter jets, and—of course—special edition cars that are more patriotic than Abraham Lincoln on an eagle. But before you roll your eyes and expect cars wrapped in cheap stars-and-stripes vinyl, stop. Chevrolet has a surprise this time. Their Stars & Steel collection is actually... delicious. And more importantly, it includes a monster called the Corvette ZRX1.
