At the ‘Car Design Event 2025’ in Munich, a special Hyundai was present. This Hyundai Obsidian is the creation of a group of students who have looked closely at another example.

An Exception Among others, Citroën already offered up to eight years of warranty on its models under certain conditions. This now applies to all Stellantis brands. Which are quite a few.

In 2012, Opel came with the Mokka. A compact SUV in the popular B-segment, although Opel took it seriously by, among other things, offering four-wheel drive as an option. The second generation appeared in 2020 and throws it over a different approach. AWD disappeared, but you got a lot of hipness in return. Whether only
Speciale versie van GT2 RS Porsche has recently re-registered the name ‘Flachbau’. This could mean that this ‘ugly’ model with the low nose and pop-up headlights could return. Possibly also as a GT2 RS. Porsche knows better than anyone how to endlessly exploit a successful model. The Porsche 911 therefore has dozens of variants, which
