With a length of 3.97 meters and a width of 1.77 meters, the Nissan Micra is ideal for use in urban environments with tight corners and busy streets.

The Nissan Micra is offered exclusively as a five-door, ensuring easy entry and exit for all passengers. Drivers and passengers in particular benefit from the high level of comfort, with seats that offer exceptional support and plenty of space between the knees and the dashboard covered in soft-touch materials. Comfort and a sense of space do not come at the expense of functionality: The Nissan Micra offers a trunk volume of 326 liters – significantly more than many competing models. By folding the rear seats in a 40:60 split, the cargo volume can be expanded to up to 1,106 liters.

Rear-axle steering ensures easy and agile handling even in tight corners on Italian streets Stuttgart/Rome. The route from Stuttgart to Rome, which took two Mercedes‑Benz VLE test vehicles, covered almost 1,100 kilometers - with just two short charging stops of 15 minutes each. The route profile: Demanding. On winding and steep pass roads across the Alps, long freeway sections, busy country roads and in narrow streets, the VLE demonstrated its suitability for everyday use, for example, for travel by families and leisure enthusiasts. In focus: Suitability for everyday use with regard to the efficiency of the electric drivetrain as well as recuperation, thermal management and effects of the rear axle steering on vehicle handling. The Mercedes‑Benz VLE was able to score high points here: The test vehicles easily covered the 1,090 ‑ kilometer route from Stuttgart to Rome in flowing traffic in around 13 hours. Charging took only two times for 15 minutes each time on the road. At the start in Stuttgart, the outside temperature was 11 degrees Celsius, while the arrival in Rome took place at 33 degrees. Comfort was not dispensed with, while the interior was air-conditioned to 22 degrees throughout the entire route. The rear axle steering proved its worth in particular on winding pass roads and in the narrow streets of Italian cities. It will ensure agility and thus stress-free handling in everyday life.

Lancia debuted the new Ypsilon HF—the 280-hp fully electric road version that accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds and delivers superior agility thanks to its limited-slip differential. Dedicated to the international press, the event even provided journalists with the chance to test drive the Hybrid HF line—the new version that brings the HF language to more affordable powertrains while preserving the legendary line’s style and recognizability. Both new versions feature the brand-new HF logo—a contemporary and forward-looking take on the historic emblem. Symbols of Lancia’s heritage, the badge’s core elements—the HF acronym and the iconic elephant—have been simplified in both line and form, creating a new balance that conveys innovation, premiumness, and the Italian spirit, with a touch of eclecticism, all while respecting the unmistakable geometries of the Lancia brand. In particular, the colors come from the official logo of the 1966 Fulvia Coupé, while the slant of the letters is inspired by the Lancia Delta logo from the 1990s to express speed and radicality. Lancia’s vision comes to life on the road with uncompromising performance, unexpected handling, and a track-inspired technical setup. In particular, the lowered suspension, the widened wheel track, and the segment’s lowest center of gravity ensure exceptional stability, while the steering precision and the refined suspension geometry provide the driver with more immediate and intuitive control. Rounding out the technical features, the Torsen differential combined with 345 Nm of torque—the highest in its class—ensures the car is ready to instantly and decisively take off in any situation. The two new releases are already available for order: the hybrid Ypsilon HF Line is now in showrooms, while the 280-hp Ypsilon HF will debut on roads after summer.

Bentley Emblem Evolution 1919-2025

Bentley Emblem Evolution 1919-2025

AutoMotions

The elements of the Bentley iconography have always been the same – a prominent B at the heart of the design, flanked by a pair of feathered wings. When W.O. Bentley started his car company in 1919, he needed an emblem that summed up his quest to push the boundaries of performance. He turned to his friend F. Gordon Crosby, the most famous motoring artist of the pre-war years, who brought distant motor races and continental tours to life for readers of The Autocar. Crosby created the original Winged B – with the ‘B’ of Bentley inside a pair of wings chosen to represent the exhilaration of motion – and perhaps also a reference to W.O. Bentley’s background as a designer of engines for fighter planes in the First World War. Crosby gave each wing a different number of feathers to make it completely unique – and stay one step ahead of fraudulent imitations. When Bentley passed into the ownership of Rolls Royce in 1931, a new emblem was created. This second iteration was symmetrical, with 10 straightened feathers each side, flanking a simpler B in a plain black oval. This version is the longest-standing example in the company’s history, in use until the emblem’s third revision in circa 1996 – when, as a nod to Crosby the central ‘B’ was revised to echo the original, the emblem became more ornate and more pronounced curvature returned to the wings. Following the purchase of Bentley by the Volkswagen Group in 1998, the emblem was redesigned again in preparation for the first Continental GT, launched in 2002. For the new era of Bentley ushered in by the Continental GT – a car that took annual production from 1,000 cars to 10,000 – a new Winged B was created. This honoured the 1919 original by reverting to an asymmetric design, with 10 feathers to the left an 11 to the right. This Winged B has been in use ever since as the main identity of Bentley.

The Audi name was restored to its rightful place in the vanguard of automotive development at the 1965 Frankfurt Motor Show, where a Saloon simply referred to as ‘The Audi’ made its debut. The Audi was a visually similar but technically more advanced update of the F102, an already progressive model produced by DKW, one of four brands that joined forces to create Auto Union GmbH, each of which is represented by an interlocking ring in the now world-renowned insignia.

AutoMotions

Tom Hartley Jnr Ltd, one of the world’s most respected and exclusive high-end dealers in classic and historic sports cars and racing cars, has been selected by the Ojjeh family in respect of the sale of Mansour Ojjeh’s extraordinary collection of 20 McLaren road cars. Fresh from selling Bernie Ecclestone’s collection of 69 historic Grand Prix and Formula 1 cars earlier this year, Tom Hartley Jnr has now been chosen to handle the sale of another unique collection compiled by another F1 icon. Before his death in 2021, Mansour was a pivotal figure in the world of motorsport, most celebrated for his visionary role in transforming McLaren into one of F1’s most successful teams. Under his stewardship, the team secured seven Constructors’ and ten Drivers’ Championships, while also expanding beyond the racetrack. He was instrumental in launching McLaren Automotive and the McLaren Applied Technologies division, helping to cement the brand as a leader in innovation and engineering excellence. When McLaren Automotive began producing road cars in earnest, Mansour turned his attention to building the ultimate McLaren road car collection. The legendary McLaren F1 is its ‘jewel in the crown’. The last of that model ever produced, it was finished in a unique colour named ‘Yquem’, after the esteemed and rare dessert wine. To reflect the significance of this vehicle, McLaren subsequently renamed the colour ‘Mansour Orange’, a custom hue used exclusively on his cars. Mansour requested the final chassis number for each model, ensuring his cars incorporated all the technical updates made during the production cycle. The result is without equal. With the exception of the F1 (which has just 1,810km) and the P1 GTR (used occasionally during McLaren track days), every car remains unused, in factory-delivered condition, and maintained under direct instruction by McLaren themselves – a service no other collector has ever received. The collection features a host of iconic McLaren models, including the Speedtail, P1, Senna, Elva, and Sabre – the latter being the last of only 16 examples ever produced – plus special and limited Longtail and Le Mans editions.

This advanced system features a 25.6-inch augmented reality head-up display, a 10.25-inch full-HD digital instrument cluster, and two 13-inch OLED screens in the center and on the passenger side, ensuring a seamless and interactive user experience. AI-assisted voice control, paired with the new avatar Leo, provides guidance and hands-free control of numerous vehicle functions. In addition, smart OS 2.0 offers optimized EV routing and a new Video Center that enables in-vehicle video streaming. Thanks to Epic Games' Unreal 3D engine, the display graphics are very smooth and detailed, allowing easy operation of all digital user interface functions. For an unparalleled sound experience, the new smart #5 is equipped with the Sennheiser Signature Sound System with 20 high-performance speakers. Combined with the hub speaker on the dashboard, which is synchronized with the ambient lighting, the audio system adds a special touch to every journey. To ensure a personalized soundscape, users can fine-tune the audio system to their preferences with a range of customization options, including sound effect settings, immersion levels, bass levels, and sound focus zones. With a maximum output of 1,190 watts and integrated speakers configured for various input formats—from stereo and surround to a full 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup—the system offers an adaptable and immersive listening environment on the go.

Compared to the previous model, design and functionality have been significantly enhanced. Its high-contrast layout deliberately places elements in the foreground or background, creating a homely interior. A generous application area, the so-called soft wrap, extends from the doors across the entire width of the dashboard and emphasizes the horizontal orientation for maximum spaciousness. At the center, the panoramic display with an 11.9" instrument cluster and 12.8" MMI touchscreen forms the so-called Digital Stage. Its curved design creates a driver-oriented cockpit gesture. Audi is thus transferring the Digital Stage from the luxury class to the compact segment. A head-up display for displaying important information complements the displays. Flat door handles and a modern, uncluttered console emphasize the sense of space and comfort. The new steering wheel control unit offers significant practical benefits. For the first time, it integrates two new steering column stalks, creating more storage space in the center console, a new operating experience, and a better sense of space. The right one serves as the gear selector, the left as a control for the lighting functions and windshield wipers. The elimination of the gear selector in the center console creates more space in the console with two cupholders. The cooled inductive charging cradle with 15 watts of charging power, including two USB-C ports, can be closed with a roller blind if necessary. Two additional USB-C ports are located in the rear.
