All new Nissan Micra Interior Design in Gear blue color

AutoMotions

The all-new, sixth-generation Nissan MICRA will return to the B-segment in 2025 as a fully-connected, pure EV with an audacious new look. Combining an assertive personality with zero-emission mobility, the All-New MICRA will stay true to its distinct character as a stylish and unpretentious car, which has underpinned its popularity and success as an iconic compact model across five generations and more than 40 years. Its arrival signals the next major step in Nissan’s bold product offensive in Europe, where the company will introduce four new fully-electric models by 2027 as part of its push towards electrification. These include the All-New MICRA, followed by the LEAF, JUKE, and an A-Segment model, as well as the upgraded third generation of Nissan’s unique e-POWER technology – to be rolled out on the best-selling Nissan Qashqai. Designed at Nissan’s Design Europe (NDE) in London, the All-New MICRA boasts a refreshed and distinctive new exterior look – combining a premium exterior finish and a ton of attitude with an SUV-like design, simple and uncluttered surfaces, and subtle details throughout. Offering a sense of purpose and an assertive new look, the model brings together careful design aspects that give it a robust and solid stance – including pronounced wheel arches and a distinctive lower lip that suggests a lower centre of gravity, and a car ready to tackle all types of streets. All-New MICRA grades will come with 18” wheels, with three different options depending on grade: “active” wheel covers, “Iconic” and “Sport” alloy wheel designs. That large wheel dimension, combining with the dark wheel arch trim, contributes to the All-New MICRA’s strong and solid stance on the road.

Volvo Cars Safety Centre Crash Lab

AutoMotions

Volvo Cars unveiled a major safety improvement to the safety belt. The new multi-adaptive safety belt is a world-first technology aimed to further enhance safety for everyone in real-world traffic situations. Debuting in the upcoming fully electric Volvo EX60 in 2026, the new safety belt is designed to better protect people by adapting to traffic variations and the person wearing it, thanks to real-time data from the car’s advanced sensors. The new multi-adaptive safety belt can use data input from interior and exterior sensors to customise protection, adapting the setting based on the situation and individual’s profiles, such as their height, weight, body shape and seating position. For example, a larger occupant in a serious crash will receive a higher belt load setting to help reduce the risk of head injury. While a smaller occupant in a milder crash will receive a lower belt load setting to reduce the risk of rib fractures. This is achieved by significantly increasing the number of so-called load-limiting profile variations, which manage the force applied to the occupants in the event of an accident. And thanks to over-the-air software updates, it gets better over time.

Utrecht becomes Europe’s first city with a vehicle‑to‑grid (V2G) car‑sharing service

AutoMotions

Renault Group, MyWheels and We Drive Solar, together with the Municipality of Utrecht, announce the go-live of Europe’s first large‑scale Vehicle‑to‑Grid (V2G) car‑sharing service: Utrecht energized. The initiative supports a more sustainable, efficient energy system in a city where 35 % of rooftops are already fitted with solar panels. Thanks to the V2G technology, electric vehicles can store energy and feed it back to the local grid during peak periods, so renewable power remains available around the clock. By combining a shared‑mobility service with advanced technology, the project keeps the local grid in balance while accelerating the transition to sustainable urban transport. The launch of this large‑scale car‑sharing service, using the V2G technology - was announced in November 2024 and is now live. Representing a decisive step towards cleaner mobility, this initiative promotes large‑scale availability of electric shared cars while helping to balance the city’s electricity network through the pioneering bidirectional charging technology. The Netherlands is a global leader in solar and wind-based energy deployment, and Utrecht ranks among Europe’s most progressive renewable‑energy cities, with 35 % of roofs equipped with solar panels. The use of renewables presents challenges for the grid due to their massive deployment, causing high peaks in energy supply. To manage the grid with a high proportion of renewables requires a system that quickly adapts to the changes in energy generation and consumption. This is where the V2G technology steps in to address these challenges. The roll‑out is now live with 50 Renault 5 E‑Tech electric cars. Available via a car‑sharing service managed by MyWheels, the vehicles use V2G bidirectional charging technology developed by Mobilize, Renault Group’s brand dedicated to new mobilities. It is the first time this innovative technology has been made available for public infrastructure, provided by We Drive Solar. The 500 bidirectional cars can deliver 10 % of the flexibility required in the Utrecht region to balance solar‑ and wind‑generated electricity at peak times.

FIA WEC in Spa - Starting Grid

AutoMotions

The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps (BEL) is known as the Ardennes rollercoaster, and BMW M Motorsport experienced an emotional rollercoaster of its own there this weekend. At the third round of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) and the home round for BMW M Team WRT, the “6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps,” both BMW M Hybrid V8s once again demonstrated their potential following the podium finish in Imola (ITA). This time, however, it went unrewarded. The #20 Hypercar was in the fight for another podium finish until shortly before the end. A slow puncture set the car back before it had to retire for safety reasons due to a brake issue. The #15 BMW M Hybrid V8 also showed strong performance, but, after an eventful six hours, it was only enough for tenth place.

The new Toyota GR Supra Lightweight EVO Design Preview

AutoMotions

With the development of the most powerful production GR Supra to date, Toyota Gazoo Racing once again demonstrates its technological expertise. The model incorporates the engineers' experience from a wide range of motorsport activities – especially from the racing series in which the GR Supra GT4 is used. Numerous modifications enable even more driving pleasure and reliable operation at the limits. The ""Final Edition"" of the current A90 series with a 3.0-liter engine and manual transmission offers a fascinating blend of power, agility, and precision. By revising the intake air path, adapting the low-pressure catalyst to reduce pressure loss, and optimizing the engine management, the limited-edition special model achieves a top speed of 275 km/h. Engine power increases to 324 kW/441 hp, and maximum torque to 571 Nm. A titanium muffler from Akrapovič creates an even more powerful engine sound. The damping of the suspension, from KW—the same brand that also supplies the GR Supra GT4's suspension—can be adjusted to 16 rebound and 12 compression settings for ideal roadholding under various conditions. Furthermore, cornering has been improved by adjusting the camber angle of the front and rear wheels and by optimizing the active differential control.

RML Group P39 prototype at Supercar Fest 2025

AutoMotions

RML Group, the British engineering firm renowned for four decades of motorsport and engineering innovation, wowed spectators at Supercar Fest The Runway 2025 with the first public appearance of its limited-edition P39 hypercar prototype. The event, based around top speed and repeated full-throttle acceleration runs, is staged annually at Sywell aerodrome, near Northampton. It provided the perfect opportunity for RML to show the car in public for the first time. Conceived to celebrate RML Group’s 40‑year milestone, the P39 transforms the already‑formidable Porsche 992.1 Turbo S platform into a hypercar that retains its daily usability with new, uncompromising circuit capability. The next opportunities to see the P39 prototype run in the UK are at the Supercar Driver Secret Meet at Silverstone, June 17 and then the Silverstone Festival, August 22-24. From nose to tail, the P39’s bodywork has been re‑sculpted in carbon fibre and laced with active aero devices that completely recalibrate the Turbo S’s performance envelope. An electronically controlled rear wing hides its second element in Road mode, then elevates and pivots in Track mode to create a slot gap that boosts rear wing downforce by 24 percent. A driver‑selectable Drag‑Reduction System (DRS) can flatten the element, trimming drag by 23 percent for maximum velocity on straights. Up front, an extending splitter slides 75 mm forward in Track mode, increasing surface area and moving the centre of pressure nose‑ward to sharpen turn‑in. Complementary airflow management – including air curtains around the front wheels, fender cut‑outs, an under‑body diffuser and vented rear arches – raises overall downforce from the Turbo S’s stock 1,432N to 5100N in Road mode and more than 6,500N in Track mode at 150 mph. These figures place the P39 firmly in competition with purpose‑built GT racers while preserving ride quality in road mode.

Revealed a few days earlier by Pierre Gasly, BWT Alpine F1 Team driver, and Zinedine Zidane, Alpine ambassador and patron of its equal opportunity programmes, the A390 was unveiled to the public by Philippe Krief, Alpine CEO, during this anniversary weekend. The A390 then took to the road in its maiden parade through the streets of Dieppe before joining the 700 Alpine gathered for a historic demonstration. During the three days of festivities, visitors discovered the current A110 range with the anniversary series A110 R 70, the A110 GTS and the A110 R Ultime. The public also had the privilege of watching the Alpenglow Hy6, equipped with the brand's first 6-cylinder hydrogen combustion engine, take to the streets of the city centre.

Even more thrills: Toyota has developed two special models for its GR Supra road car, crowning the current A90 model generation. The new "A90 Final Edition" performance variant and the extensively redesigned lightweight version, the GR Supra Lightweight EVO, are now available to order across Europe.

The low center of gravity, adaptive variable suspension, and rigid body ensure confident cornering. The handling was tuned at the Nürburgring, where Akio Toyoda, also known as master driver Morizo, personally experienced the GR Supra's handling during test drives.

Lamborghini Temerario - Francesco Bagnaia’s track test

AutoMotions

With three World Championships (including the 2022 and 2023 MotoGP titles) to his name, along with 40 wins and 78 podium finishes, Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia is one of the most successful riders in Grand Prix motorcycle racing. The lucky number 63 on his Ducati Desmosedici GP ties the rider from Turin together with Lamborghini, which was founded in 1963. Bagnaia is a big fan of the super sports cars from Sant’Agata Bolognese, so he seized the chance to be one of the first to take the wheel of the new Temerario High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) with a new twin-turbo Lamborghini V8 engine that can reach 10,000 rpm. Like a racing motorbike, it feels like it can keep pushing more and more: “I’d never felt anything like it. Rather than a turbo, it almost feels like it has a naturally aspirated engine with an enhanced intake. Reaching 10,000 rpm is incredible. I was astounded not only by that, but also by how easy it is to drive. It makes for a stunning combination.”' Bagnaia also appreciated the outstanding performance of the Temerario. Delivering 920 CV thanks to its V8 twin-turbo engine paired with three electric motors, it can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 7.1 seconds, reaching a top speed of 343 km/h.
