Lyft and Baidu bring robotaxis to London's hardest streets

Baidu has started testing Apollo Go vehicles in London with Lyft and Freenow, putting one of China's most scaled robotaxi systems into one of Europe's least forgiving road networks. The public launch is still subject to regulation, but the real question is already visible: can robotaxis behave like useful city transport rather than a tech demo with passengers?

Range Rover GT makes the luxury EV fight sharper

Range Rover has previewed the GT, a fifth model line that starts as a battery-electric grand tourer rather than another familiar SUV. The hook is not raw spec sheet drama yet; it is whether JLR can make Range Rover luxury work as a low, long-distance EV without blurring into Jaguar's own reset.

Bugatti's last W16 Mistral is a gorgeous goodbye to excess

Bugatti has completed production of the W16 Mistral, closing the road-going chapter of the quad-turbo W16 that defined the Veyron and Chiron era. The final car is not just another limited hypercar; it is the last customer-facing bow for one of modern performance's most outrageous engines.

BMW's electric M3 badge gamble is bigger than horsepower

BMW's next electric M car is moving toward the M3 name rather than a separate EV identity. That matters because the badge is not just marketing. It is a promise about steering, braking, feel and trust at the exact moment BMW asks longtime M buyers to accept batteries as part of the legend.

Zenvo's 1,850-HP Aurora Tur Is Finally Heading for Production

Zenvo has shown production-intent Aurora Tur prototypes at Goodwood, putting a 1,850-hp V12 hybrid on a credible path to customer deliveries in 2027. The important part is not just the number: this is a rare attempt to make a modern hybrid hypercar feel engineered around a big, rev-happy combustion engine rather than hide one behind a software story.

Bugatti Bolide road conversion makes track cars a trust test

Lanzante's road-legal Bugatti Bolide conversion turns a 1,600-hp, track-only machine into a more complicated question than whether it can wear plates. The audience should care because these conversions test engineering trust: lighting, tires, ride height, cooling, servicing and legal use matter as much as the shock value of a W16 hypercar on the road.

Mignatta Rina Coupe makes analog supercars feel current

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.

Porsche's gas Macan endgame makes the EV transition real

Porsche is winding down combustion Macan production while the electric Macan carries the nameplate forward. For buyers, this is not just nostalgia. It is a practical test of whether Porsche can move one of its most important volume models into an EV market that has become less forgiving.

Hennessey's manual Venom F5 makes 2,031 hp feel analog

Hennessey's one-off Venom F5 Revolution LF combines a 2,031 bhp Evolution package with a gated six-speed manual. It is not practical, democratic or subtle. It is relevant because it shows the analog supercar idea can still survive at the absurd end of the horsepower race.
