Astraux says its AL7 electric quadricycle will bring 90 km/h capability, a claimed 150 km range and an EUR 9,990 starting price to Europe. It is not a cheap car in the usual sense, and that is exactly why the idea is worth a close look: for short, urban trips, a right-sized vehicle can be more useful than a full-size EV carrying empty seats and unnecessary mass.

Automobili Mignatta is using Goodwood attention to preview the Rina Coupe, a closed-roof companion to its carbon-bodied Barchetta. The appeal is not raw horsepower theater. It is the deliberate combination of a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8, a six-speed manual transaxle and a screen-light cabin at a time when performance cars keep getting heavier and more digital.
