Are these the ugliest F1 cars ever made?
The 2026 Formula 1 season is upon us, and the annual regulations refresh inevitably means some, shall we say, 'interesting' interpretations of the new rules when it comes to the cars, with aesthetics usually taking a back seat. And yes, we are

Or how about a BMW ‘off-roadster’?
It's not clear why Porsche named this 1970 concept after the Italian word for a snouty jungle mammal. There were two sets of gullwing doors: one for the passenger cabin and one for the luggage compartments. It was displayed at motor

If you don’t know what the Red Pig is, step this way...
Here's a not-so-little secret: Mercedes-Benz's long-serving and now former design boss Gorden Wagener has revealed a never-before-seen show car that reimagines one of the brand's most outlandish racers. It's the return of

It’s returning to a bold, old direction—one it has lost
Two Audis you can't buy show a lot about the company. The new Formula One car and the Concept C, which will become a very similar production car. They show the company is taking a bold new direction. Or you could

Even if you were a hardcore fan of a brand, would you buy any of these?
It's a close-run thing, but we reckon the W16-engined hypercar was probably a slightly better tribute to Louis Chiron than this Bugatti-branded dormeuse. And yes, we did have to look up what a dormeuse was before writing this.

“Jaguar didn't work commercially”
Jaguar's been through it of late. A year ago, we saw its rebrand and clapped our eyes on the radical Type 00 Concept. Now, we've had a passenger ride in a prototype: a 1,000hp tri-motor GT prototype. We'

Updating the ’80s icon virtually
This time around, we'll be doing something different. Instead of doing a render of a future vehicle, we'll do a restomod. We chose an '80s icon that was very popular in our market: the legendary box-type Mitsubishi Lancer. Of
It’s just not very Hilux-y
Automotive design has always been very subjective. It all boils down to you and whether or not you like how one car looks. Your thoughts may affect someone else's opinion, but at the end of the day, that's all that
A rare glimpse at the design studio’s works
The Honda CR-V is one of the pioneers of the compact crossover segment. Together with the Toyota RAV4, it could be said that those two models helped reshape the motoring landscape to what we know today. For better or worse, our
The brand’s newest crossover is arguably its freshest-looking model right now
Suzuki Philippines recently introduced the all-new Fronx. It's Suzuki's re-entry in one of the most stacked segments in the market right now, and these are exciting times ahead for the Japanese brand.It's quite the looker, and
From the same artist that brought you those next-gen Lancer and Pajero renders
Carmakers turning famed nameplates into crossover badges isn't new. We've seen Toyota do it with the Corolla Cross, and Ford with the Mustang Mach-E. We all know the latter raised a lot of eyebrows.Mitsubishi did the same with
Based on teasers and spy photos
During the new iX3's world premiere, BMW teased its upcoming i3 sedan in camo. As expected, these are the production versions of the Vision Neue Klasse X and the Vision Neue Klasse Sedan. Based on the teasers and spy photos, this
And which one has come up with the worst?
In the space of one week, we've been shown the future of German car interiors. And gone are the days when Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz benchmarked each other's every move down to the click of the volume knob.The

Posh clothing brands don't necessarily work in the world of cars
Collabs between automotive manufacturers and brands from other industries aren't new. For decades, carmakers have been teaming up with all sorts of entities to create one-of-a-kind and sometimes one-of-one models.In some instances, however, car brands

It’s called the Concept C, and it’s a preview of Audi’s future cars
The Audi Concept C dropkicks the four rings into a completely different direction. Neat, unfussy design. A shrunken 'grille.' Inside, tactile switchgear instead of ever-bigger screens. Heck, it's a proper sports car. Audi hasn't had one of those since...

There’s pushing the limits, and then there’s falling off the cliff entirely
Is this the ugliest thing to have emerged from a pile of pressed steel? It's hard to say, but probably. The Buick Signia was unveiled at the Detroit show back in 1998, an era when drinking in the workplace was more

These are timeless machines
The most beautiful Benz of all time (fight me) also boasted a classically correct cabin. Big, slender wheel, sensibly situated vents, radio and switches, the clear, watch-like dials-it's still a paragon of ergonomic bliss. High-quality, for high society:

Consider this a better version of our 2024 renders
Last year, we did a render of the next-gen Mitsubishi PPV based on teasers that pretty much just showed silhouettes. Thanks to new spy photos making their rounds on the internet, we can fill in a lot of the blanks and
