ABT Sportsline has been a pretty notable car tuner lately, especially after their collaboration with Jon Olson when they created Project Phoenix, which is based on the Audi RS6 and has a whopping 725 horsepower. They also helped Audi build a special RS6 Nogaro Edition with 695 horsepower. Despite all these projects, they did not forget about the smaller, but no less toxic, Audi RS4.

The word "touring" has many meanings, but this time we will concentrate on it in the sense of a racing car competition. The Cupra e-Racer is the world's first electric touring car. It seems that the new Cupra brand will not only surprise with a few concepts in Geneva, but also with an all-electric racing car.
Rolls-Royce is celebrating the 101st anniversary of the endurance record set by its founders. In 1907, Charles Rolls, Claude Johnson and Sir Henry Royce got behind the wheel of the Silver Ghost and embarked on a then unimaginable and still legendary endurance ride without stopping, 23,127 kilometers long.
At the moment, diesel engines are again being talked about a lot and have a rather negative connotation in the public eye. But that doesn't mean that people don't like them, because they are still being bought en masse, especially in Europe. And while BMW is developing an electric and hybrid version of the new X3 model, Alpina has given the X3 SUV an extra dose of diesel power.
The wait is over, because the long-awaited Jaguar I-PACE is finally only with us. Jaguar's already well-known F-PACE and E-PACE SUVs have been joined by a fully electric SUV representative of the cat family. Jaguar promises that the I-PACE will be the most technologically advanced and most efficient car in their range, and Tesla and other electric competitors are already eyeing the freshest competitor.
That the Jaguar E-PACE is in its feline form is, of course, meant entirely positively. He is really charming to look at and therefore it would be hard to call him a beast or a wild cat. Its cute headlights, large rims and compact dimensions remind us more of a jaguar cub, which melts our heart, than of its hunting mother, who paralyzes us with her gaze.
The recipe is actually quite simple. We take the Audi R8 and dress it up in boldly designed carbon fiber. If, of course, we ignore all the engineering obstacles. The factory sketches of the Italdesign Zerouno Roadster are downright gorgeous, but the sight of them in person will make us drool.
For those sworn off-road enthusiasts, only driving a powerful off-road vehicle over almost impassable terrain counts. For the rest of us who prefer to stick to asphalt, there is the Venture Toyota FJ Cruiser, which can be taken for a wander via remote control.
In January, Seat announced the news that Cupra is now an independent brand under their umbrella. Cupra thus became an independent sports brand for sports car enthusiasts, which will concentrate on sports versions of existing Seat cars. New models under the Cupra label were presented at a special event in Barcelona.
Although at first glance it seems that the renovation is very superficial, there is more behind it than just a new color and a modified front part of the car. About four years after the presentation of the second generation Toyota Aygo, we saw its renovation, where the motif in the shape of the letter "X" is still in the foreground.
A third representative of the PSA group revealed himself. We already have the new Berlingo and Comba, and the third Peugeot Rifter joins the group. With a new name, a new platform and a new exterior and interior design, the Peugeot Rifter will appeal to those looking for a family-friendly car.
The Peugeot 508 was launched in 2011 and apparently 2018 is the year that will be credited with the second generation of the French sedan. As we have already seen with Citroën, Peugeot will also enter the battle against SUVs and try to convince with its limousine and above all technological advantages.
